Well it's Mother's Day so that means either I drop some poetic lines from 2Pac's moving Dear Mama or keep it real with 2 Live Crew's timeless classic Hoochie Mama.

Because experiences with Mothers is not universal; schmaltzy Hallmark cards be damned: let's split the difference with The
Pharcyde's Ya Mama:
"Ya mama's got a peg leg with a kickstand." Ya don't need to be a miner to know that's gold.

2Pac's correct...to all the Mothers out there: you are appreciated. Because without your presence none of us could make Ya Mamma jokes.

It's so good we have a day like today to recognize all y'all's contributions. Thank you!

Why not break it down today with ? (Push ‘1138’ on your TV remote while looking at the Revenge of the Sith DVD menu & you'll be greeted with a video of Yoda breakdancing.

The animation comes from Virginie a French animator who worked at ILM. She was Yoda's lead animator. Virginie animated this for fun in her free time and was worried about showing around the office. Eventually she showed her friends and manager, and eventually George Lucas saw it, George loved it and made it an Easter egg for the DVD. And of course if you know Lucas you know why the code is 1138.)
