May the Fourth

Today is, what I would guess, the nerdiest holiday of the year, “May the Fourth.” As in, May the Fourth be with you, a Star Wars related pun. I have a love/hate relationship with puns. They can be cheap humor, but if executed right they’re amazing. Luke-aly, I’m pro-May the Fourth, it’s a clever one. Though I think it could be taken a few steps further, let me give it a Han. I used to think it would be a Darth day before my blog relied on puns, but Leia off me. If I want to Lando a few cheap jokes, I’m not above that. Don’t Fett though, I won’t get Greedo with them, just a few this one time. Think of it as Anakin to being tempted by the Dark Side. At-at any moment this will be over and I can get back to Jabba-ring about things I think are silly. Do you still think this is in Empooror taste? Well, I apologize, it’s still a better idea than Jar Jar Binks. Alright, I’m done, you can relax now and enjoy a nice Qui-Gon Ginn Tonic at the Ackbar.
