The Dark Ride of the Force
My birthday present from Stinger. He said it was so dumb he had to buy it, but really, could there possibly be a better present for a biker on his thirty-sith birthday?

Just the thing for when you have to swing by Toshi station to pick up some power converters.

  1. I am not sure that thing is officially licensed through George Lucas . . .

  2. The Twin Ion Engine probably doesn’t pass California emissions standards, but the machine is, disturbingly, an actual licensed Lucasfilm product. Even more disturbingly, it’s part of a series.

  3. I saw one in a toy store some weeks back, and wanted to get one. Snark Jr #1 was bugging me for some Hot Wheels, Snark Jr #2 was grabbing soft toys off the shelf, and Mrs Snark was giving me the evil eye, so I didn’t get it.

    Now, I have to.

  4. You must do what you feel is right, of course.

    But remember, once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

    I find your lack of rake disturbing.

  10. Evacuate? In our moment of Triumph?

  11. Did anyone bother to pick up those damn power converters I ordered?

    I think Big Ben Kenobi’s bike is probably safe since although it may have a thermal exhaust port (two in fact), they’re far from small.

    I can give you two thousand now and another fifteen when you get me that alternator-raan (kind of a reach?)

  12. BWAHAHAH A whole series of bad Star Wars puns. We should put this show on the road.

  13. Snark,
    I was hoping this would go on longer, but I’m not so strong in the ways of the pun, and I ran out of funny pretty quick. It’s also kind of disheartening to know that no matter how good a pun I might come up with to try to top Darth GB’s, he will just come back with another pun more powerful than I can possibly imagine.

  14. Here is my Pun \”Ride the Iron horse Luke\”
