stop looking at me, storm troopers!

I must have you know, that as I'm writing this, I am being watched. So I will speak in code.

Fiddich potato tray, under um dummdy attic. Crunchy guillotine.

That means nothing in any language at all. I'm just trying to throw off the Storm Troopers. There are about 20 of them standing in a poster on my wall, staring at me, and it's a little unsettling. I would take it down, but it was a gift from my friend.

Now I have a bit of a dilemma. Should I leave it up so my friend is happy with me, or should I choose to preserve my sanity? Quite honestly, there is very little sanity left to preserve. Yet this is the friend who asked me if I would kindly hide my Star Wars literature when she came over, so that it's easier for her to admit that she knows me.

As you surely know, the Storm Troopers were tools of the light side in "Star Wars- The Clone Wars" but then turned against the Jedi knights in "Star Wars- Revenge of the Sith" and fought for the dark side through the rest of the original trilogy. So I'm not sure which Storm Troopers are on my poster.

I would like to believe that they are the clones that saved Padme, Anakin and Obi Wan, along with hundreds of other Jedi Knights on Geonosis. In that case, they are still acceptable enough to be hanging on my wall.

In honour of Star Wars, here is today's link: http://edandmari.com/starwars/Lords.html

The Hall of the Sith Lords gives a lot of information on characters from the Star Wars books, as opposed to the movies. (You should read them). I hope it enlightens you.

After saying all that, and knowing full well that this is a completely different sci-fi series reference...

Live long and prosper.
