here's to Bob
Nov. 25th, 2008 09:23 amI woke up today with this thought in my head:
"Boba Fett" is just one shift of an a away from "Bob Fetta".
I don't know about you, but now the thought's in my head, it kinda undermines his authority. If we didn't already have his back-story, I'd imagine it starting in some suburban lot on a backward planet--a tale of striving to stand out among the mundanes.
"How about a refill, Bob?" "That's Boba to you, punk." "Helmet off at the dinner table, darl." "A Mandalorian warrior removes his armour only once--when he's ready to die." "I'm afraid that's the best deal I can offer you, Mr Fett, but I can throw in that registration change if you're sure--?" "It's Slave or nothing. Will disintegration make that any clearer?"
I imagine him finally clearing out of that dump, only to fall foul of Vader and Jabba and ending up in Sarlacc's gut, wishing he'd given the whole thing a bit more thought.
The real Bob Fetta is on FaceBook. I hope he has a happier life.
Because these could be songs in the Star Wars universe, today's titles from Vader's party playlist are: "Squip, Tflim, Spuzno", "Mahti Tara" and "Ne Poera Seyeym" (geddit?).
