Hitchin and his family are currently on holiday in the Yorkshire Dales, so, last weekend, Jen and I went over to visit them.
Hitchin proposed a walk. It was only a few inches on the map. But that (i.e. we) failed to take into account all of the contours involved. Then the sun came out. It was bloody knackering.
Anyhoo, Hitchin's two lads are big StarWars™ fans, and, during lunch the following day, they informed me that StarWars™ TIE fighters are so named because they have Twin-Ion Engines. I told them (only half-jokingly) that I had always thought that TIE fighters were so named because of their resemblance to bow ties. I then joked that, had George Lucas wanted to continue the neckwear-related theme, he should have called those walking-tank things cravAT-ATs. (Do you see what I did there?)
So, over to you, Gruts Gang: can you think of any StarWars™ neck-accoutrement-related puns? Fifteen points for the worst answer. (But no points at all for Episode IV: A Noose Hope, because that has Jar-Jar Binks in it.)
Yes, I know I missed the obvious one: Scarf Vader.
I remember in the bar scene they had a band-ana singer!
I noticed that Coverdale looks a bit bigger than he did in Deep Purple.
Middle age spread?
Lando Collarissian?
Han Stole-o.
Chu-balaclava?
Count Snooku?
We're flogging a dead tauntaun here. But George Lucas started doing that long before we did.
Gah I meant Snood.. never mind
How about a Boa-ba Fett?
....and the ultimate......Princess Lei
