Me: You know who he looks like in with that metal bowl on his head?
Gabe: Who?
Me: That guy who underestimates the power of the dark side. You know, his lack of faith is disturbing.
Gabe: General Veers?*
Me: Yeah! That guy.

Speaking of Star Wars, Claudia told me that if I was “eated by a lion” her new Mommy could be “Dark Vader”.
Sheesh.

Speaking of new Mommys, Ian called me Grandpa the other day. GRANDPA? I mean, I know that I take after my Dad in a lot of ways but I think this was the first time I was ever actually mistaken for the man.

*Upon further research, I realized that Admiral Motti was actually the guy who had a disturbing lack of faith in Darth Vader’s sad devotion to that ancient religion. But Gabe knew what I was talking about anyway.

I also found his lack of faith disturbing.

And here I thought we were the only dorks still using obscure Star Wars references to apply to everyday life.
The joke we had when I was when they are demonstrating the power of the FULLY OPERATIONAL Death Star, the line is:
Fire at will, commander!
We always said:
Will? What did he do??? Poor Will!
Yes, we’re losers like that.
