And now for something different...
A while back I got one of these little plastic Star Wars stormtroopers, because I always wanted one, and I'm a big Star Wars fan (the original series, not the new garbage Lucas puked out more recently). Because these little guys are very posable, I decided to play around a bit with the stormtrooper and the Jinhao X750 fountain pen, which looks like some sort of torpedo from the future.
Here's what actually happened...
TK-421 knew he was on the fast track for promotion when Lord Vader personally assigned him to the task of unloading the new X750 experimental weapon (codename "Jinhao") from Vader's personal shuttlecraft. He was already imagining himself in the soft, crisp, officer's uniform. It was about time. He'd had enough of this blasted tin-can armor. But first thing's first...
"Damn, this thing's heavy," he thought as he picked one end of the "Jinhao" off the sterile floor of the shuttle's hold.
"Whew, at least I got the heavy end off the ground," he panted as he gathered his strength for the final effort.
"There, momma didn't raise no quitter," he grinned, just before...
"Dammit all to hell!" was his last thought before the blackness took him.
The "Jinhao" super weapon didn't kill poor TK-421 that day, but three months later Han Solo did.
THE END
