Obi-Wan Kenobi: “If you spent as much time practicing your saber technique as you do on your wit, you would rival Master Yoda as a swordsman.”
Anakin Skywalker: “I thought I already did.”
Obi-Wan: “Only in your mind, my very young apprentice.”
Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones
So… Padawan Learner got in a fight with a tree Thursday night. This may surprise, you but the tree won. $1900 dollars and a week later and the old car should be back in fighting shape again. Let’s hope this little event reminds him to slow down and drive more carefully on snow-covered roads from now on. And people wonder why I hear Rainman’s voice in my head every time he tells someone, “I’m an excellent driver. “
1. It is not the “old car.”. It is the Pod Racer. You must stick with your theme.
2. Your new car is the Land Speeder as you are of the “I saw Star Wars back in ’76″ demographic.
3. Glad it was only $190 of bent metal and/or broken plastic. Tell the young Jedi that regardless of what he might think, The Force is not stron enough in him to overcome The Force of Gravity or Inertia. Iowa in the winter = Hoth. Hoth = Icy Roads. Ice = Slow Down. Then slow down some more.
Darth Keeter: $1900 in bent metal and plastic, not $190. I posted this on the fly, so just back off man.
I will remember myself more faithfully in the future. ’77, btw. He is still keeping with the Rainman theme.
Firefly Mom: Indeed!
Look on the bright side – at least it wasn’t a wampa. The wampa would have eaten him.
Oh, I’m glad Padawan Learner is all right. I did notice y’all were having bad weather up there. Come on down and visit us . . . it was in the 80′s here today!
You’re killing me, Mom #1. Kill. ing. me.
