Editor's Note: While Colin's on vacation, we'll be re-running some of his older videos that you may have missed.

From May 2005:

I met Star Wars fan Rob Paine as I was leaving RiverPark Square on a Sunday. He was sitting outside the front entrance holding a plastic light saber. Rob told me he and a friend were camping on the sidewalk so they could be the first in line to see the new “Star Wars: Episode III-Revenge of the Sith” movie. Surrounded by boxes of junk food and "Star Wars" snacks, Rob was three days into his weeklong vigil.

Rob is an interesting guy. A Whitworth College student, he started collecting Star Wars action figures when he was about 12-years-old. Over time, things just got a little out of hand. Chatting with him about his Star War fanaticism, he mentioned that I should come see what his bedroom at his parent’s house looked like. All I could say, when I entered his room was, “Ohhh-My-God!”

Well, this video certainly reminds me of a movie. Not Star Wars though. There was this one with Steve Carell not too long ago (and not in a galaxy far away for Rob Paine here)...
