Hahaha… “son of a Bith”! I am so glad someone finally used that joke. Many many years ago, I was proofreading a Star Wars novel by Jim Luceno, I forget which one. He was always very open to suggestions, even incorporated a few of mine. In one book, after a bar fight, the heroes are in jail and mention the “poor dumb Bith” who had gotten beaten up. I slyly suggested the line be changed to “poor dumb son of a Bith”, which is what my brain saw it as when I first read it in electronic form. Jim laughed and said he’d love to use a pun like that, but knew it would never get past the editors, so regretfully he didn’t even try it.
The “children are present” piggyback is great, too.
I stood outside a Target store in the rain on a Saturday morning for more than an hour to get my hands on an exclusive Lava Vader. (That fact is either a badge of honor or undeniable evidence of loserdom, depending on your point of view.) Regardless, I am glad to see Lava Vader achieved these glorious heights of stardom in Yak’s Pub.

I figured this would be one of the long running jokes that would be tied up 😉

To quote Qui Gon – There’s always a better stand. Or something like that. Very funny stuff. I’m not looking forward to Last Call.
