So this guy comes in my store the other day and here is how the conversation went:
HIM: "Hi...do you have any vintage Star Wars action figures?"
ME: "Sure....any particular ones?"
HIM: "I need a Luke and Leia to put on top of a wedding cake"
ME: "Are you from West Virginia?"
HIM: "Huh?"
ME: "Luke and Leia are brother and sister and maybe shouldn't be on the top of a wedding cake together"
HIM: "How about a Leia and Han?"
FOOTNOTE:
I wonder how many Luke and Leia action figures were on wedding cakes before it was revealed that they were brother and sister. I also wonder if it creeped them out once they found out.
FOOTNOTE #2:
Darth is the father of Luke.
Thanks for spoiling it! JERK.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Lucas is gonna change that whole Darth angle when he re-edits the films yet again.
ReplyDeleteI hear he's going to make Jar Jar Luke and Leia's dad. Shh.
(Oh and I apologize if my post causes any potentially scarring visuals of Padme and Jar Jar...)
ReplyDeleteNobody on this blog knows what a "Padme" is.
ReplyDeleteGo back into your geek hole.
I prefer to call it a hobbit hole, thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a Star Wars?
ReplyDeleteA "Star Wars" is like a "Frodo" but way off in the future.
ReplyDelete"Go back to your geek hole?"
ReplyDeleteGee. And all this time I'd thought of this blog as sort of a geek lounge.
C'mon. *Everyone* here knows what a Padme is. We may not be happy about it, but we know.
$5 says Hoagy didn't know what a "Padme" was/is?
ReplyDelete$5 says he googled it/him/her.
Lois is my hero.
ReplyDeleteThere is no Hoagy, you made him up.
ReplyDeleteOh, that Hoagy!
ReplyDeletePadme is a very expensive brand of European lip gloss. You put it on and five minutes later hate George Lucas and want your $9.50 plus babysitting and popcorn money back.
ReplyDeleteThere is no Padme or Hoagy, you made them both up.
ReplyDeletePadme is a new kind of feminine napkin. Soon to be followed by a new kinda tampon....Tampme.
ReplyDeleteNot to be confused with the masculine napkin, of course.

Everybody always gets this wrong. Star Wars in not in the future. It says right at the beginning: "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away." It's way back in the past, people.
Yes, yes...returning to geek hole...But I'm shaking my fist back at you while I go!
If its way back in the past then how the hell do they have spaceships and laser swords? And gorilla companions and robots?
ReplyDeleteThat was Planet of the Apes.
ReplyDeleteOh.
ReplyDeleteBut if its WAY back in the past how could the Statue of Liberty be in it?
ReplyDeleteAnd why were Kirk, Spock, and Han Solo fighting the Apes anyhow?
ReplyDeleteI'm confused.
The apes used the TARDIS to move the Statue of Liberty. Duh.
ReplyDelete(I think that last comment cements my status as Queen of Geeks, don't you? I'll be interviewing for a court jester tomorrow...)

I use the TARDIS to grocery shop every weekend. Gets much better milage than the Volvo.
ReplyDeleteIf Cake's the Geek Queen, I wanna be a Geek Duchess. All the pomp, no responsibility.
ReplyDeleteBut y'know, I just clicked over to Cooltopten's site and maybe I'm not as much of a Geek as I thought, because I'm not sure what the hell is going on over there.
But more power to you. The more the merrier in the Geek Hole, I always say.
Well, okay. I've never said that before. And I'll probably never say it again...
I'm gonna go feed my cats now. Or maybe I'll go in the TARDIS and feed them again yesterday.
