tinhuvielAunt Tudi and I found ourselves at Wal-Mart today. As we were checking out, the cashier eyeballed Aunt Tudi's sunflower blouse and said, "Oh, I like your blouse!"
Feeling particularly Sithly, I said, "What? No compliment for my ensemble?" I was wearing my 'Sith Happens' tee shirt and 'Sith Lord' baseball cap.
"Well, I wasn't sure what it all meant, so I didn't want to say the wrong thing," she said diplomatically.
"You're not a Star Wars fan?" I asked, aghast.
"Well, yeah, but I don't know what a Sith is!"
"Darth Vader, dudette! Darth Maul! Both of them are Sith. See? Double light saber," I said, doing the Vanna thing on my cap.
"Oh! Well, I guess I do like your shirt then! I'm more of a Jedi person, though."
"See, if I had a real double light saber right now, I'd have to kill you!"
And we all laughed heartily.
Of course, if I really had had a light saber, the Jedi cashier would so have been history.
In other Sith news, I would like to note the passing of Bea Arthur. All I have to say about it is: "SHADY PINES, MA!" Those in the know, realise and appreciate this. May her days in the Summerland be filled with joy and laughter, and a very happy reunion with Estelle Getty, another Great Sith Woman.

Okay, back to writing. This Nun's Date is going to be the death of me.
