Still on a news-free diet

100th post!!! Wow - it seems like just a year and a half ago I was rattling about blaming France for the weather, and look at me now!

While fighting an epic light-saber battle, Darth Vader tells Luke Skywalker, "... I am your father."

In the midst of a similar, but somewhat less-than-epic struggle, Dark Helmet tells Lone Starr, "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate."

Without wrrrrrrrm-ing and weeooww-ing a deadly, almost unstoppable shaft of light around the office...
Without slicing through hapless furniture and fixtures...
Without losing a limb or any subdivision thereof...
I have discovered that my sister's stepson's girlfriend's mom's boyfriend's ex-wife is my boss' sister.

Luke Skywalker's reply to Darth Vader's revelation: "No. No. That's not true! That's impossible!"
Vader: "Search your feelings. You know it is true."

Lone Starr's response: "What's that make us?"
Dark Helmet: "Absolutely nothing! Which is what you are about to become."

Me: "So, what are we doing for Christmas this year?"

I'm still waiting to hear, but I hope she doesn't think I'm not going to make other plans if she doesn't respond pretty soon...

Oh, my gosh, that heart-warming connection to your boss just left me weak. So funny. I laughed so loud, I frightened our cats and woke Joanne. I guess it is early for civilized people. Thanks, friend. Great post.
