What happens to a lightsaber in water?

[spatz]

The subject of my post is a very important question that has been driving me nuts for the last three days, and my trusty Star Wars geek friend doesn't know, so I turn to LiveJournal. I'm scared to try a Google search, but I will if ya'll fail me.

Also, "ya'll" is totally the right way to punctuate it, not this "y'all" BS.

How do you people with, like, 200 people on your flist keep up? Jesus. I have 40 and just caught up last night, excluding the bajillion fics I bookmarked. Of course, all the Yuletide recs/links/enormous fucking archive is boosting the size of that list somewhat, but *still*.

ETA: Wow, L. Frank Baum really sucks at continuity. And this post is made of random.

Hmm. So the water might become ionized or polarized or something, but not electrified. Interesting. And the energy bolts must get reversed somehow when they strike the blade.

Ya'll is still more symmetrical, bitch. I'm sticking to my ungrammatically correct slang, and you can suck me.

Uh...maybe. I think we're putting far too much thought into this, but of course feel free to go discuss our ideas with Dara (whose fault I'm sure this conversation is).

My grammatically correct slang can kick your symmetrical slang's ass.

Dara would be horrified if I tried to talk physics with her. Even for Star Wars.

My slang will send your slang crying back to its dictionary, trying to hold its pronunciation together.

Haha, that's hilarious. It can be your secret weapon.

My slang is your slang what Bailey is to Sheppard--all mine has to do is stare yours down until it cracks down its weak little symmetrical backbone.

Well, *my* slang is Callie, and she's gonna snap your slang's apostrophe into the symmetrical place and it's gonna stay where she puts it.

My slang doesn't need to snap you slang's joints into place. She just has to Stare. Yours. Down.

(dammit! I don't have any GA icons! CURSES)
