Turns out Chewbacca was an alien. An illegal alien. But no more. British-born actor Peter Mayhew, who portrayed the lovable gorilla Chewbacca in the 70's film "Star Wars" is finally getting his US citizenship.
Here's a picture of him showing off the sinewy physique that clunked a thousand storm troopers' heads together. And yes. That was his actual voice.

Sir,
I am a traveller from 19th Century Ireland in a sort of temporal pursuit of a gobshite what nicked my time machine.
Have ye encountered a knacker by the name of Foxworth? He buggered off with my machine while I was nibbling cheese in the pantry. (Because of an as-yet-undiagnosed psychic condition no elixir or unguent hath calmed, I can handle cheese in neither natural nor candle light.)
Foxworth and I both separately conceived of a machine that would thrust us into the far reaches of time's fingers. However, his involved a catapult, which resulted in the unfortunate demise of his humunculoid assistant, Barnard, who might have survived had he cleared the castle wall.
I lucked out when my future self transported himself to my present time. Delighted by his success, he celebrated at The Tipsy Dane for three days straight and ran off with a wolfhound that resembled his cousin Deidre. He soon developed demodectic mange, went mad with the itching, and hurled himself into the Shannon.
Jaysus, we mourned my self and we drank in remembrance and I almost ran off with a setter when I eyed the time machine I'd some day invent, parked outside the pub. Delighted at my good fortune, I celebrated further with a hunk of Wensleydale and returned to find Foxworth flashing into the ether.
I waited for myself to come back again, and lit out in pursuit of that dirty bollix.
I think I'll next check for him at the electrical matchmaker. He loves the ladies (of any species) almost as much as nicking me feckin' junk!
Now and then,
Sir Eoin Egan
chewbacca looks like a fat howard stern/joey ramone/tiny tim.
"Worst post ever!"
Perhaps. But you still faked those rock photographs. I'll go to my grave knowing that.
