Grand Admiral McEwok and the Man with the Golden Lightsaber were still
in Berlin. In the interim since the previous Sith War, they had fought
off the attentions of Christopher Isherwood, embarrassed W.H. Auden,
and successfully prevented a drunk Dan'l Miller from selling the
DeLorean to Ferdinand Porsche.
The Man with the Golden Lightsaber had considered growing a third
nipple, but had been disuaded by the Infinity Kipper on the grounds
that it would be deeply anachronistic.
Suddenly, out of the Prussian-blue sky, there was a sound like a clap
of thunder. It took the two Sith Warriors a moment to realise that it
was just a repulsorlift backfiring, but they glanced into the sky in
time to see a small restaurant with a large beer garden sweep in over
the lake and land in the middle of Unter der Linden.
"Wuher's," the Man with the Golden Lightsaber noted. "This could be
interesting."
"He's wise," agreed McEwok, offering Deitrich a final grin before
jumping off his seat, and starting to stot across towards the pub.
"Hey," Wuher objected, catching sight of the white-uniformed Ewok. "We
don't serve their kind here."
McEwok glanced at the barbecue.
"Jist as weel," he chuckled.
There was a sound like banthas farting, and McEwok and the Man
vanished, leaving only two empty steins and a slight whiff of whisky
wafting across towards Wuher's.
"Damn rude," Kallas muttered, and taking a sip of beer.
"Too true," Rendar agreed, pushing his pawn forwards, and smirking at
his old friend.
***
Almost instentaneously, McEwok and the Man appeared on the bridge of
the GSV _Sing When You're Winning_. Glancing at the navigation
consoles, McEwok saw that they were already hurtling out of the
system, racing back towards.
"Och, ye greit big Govan-buildit louk," he asked, "whit wiz aw' that
aboot? Ah hid a come-back ah'd been savin' fer thot lourin' Sassenach,
an ye went an' interruptit me!"
The ship seemed to smile.
"And so," it said nonsequitoriously, affecting a sonorous,
Babylon5esque voice, "it begins..."

"Look at this! These damn Oldbies actually think that they can avoid
spoilers?" mutters Jake, leader of the Newbie patrol.
Sylvester, the shy in real life, but a loudmouthed Newbie in RASSM CITY,
looks to the screen and smiles an evil grin. He begins:
SUBJECT: ANAKIN LOSES HIS ARM!
BODY: Can you guys believe this?! Did you hear that they decapitate Jango
Fett too??? Also, I hear a rumor that Shmi get's killed by the Tuskens and

~'Darth' Sylvester~
Laughing at Sylvester's handiwork, Jonathan, the 3rd Newbie accidentally
knocks over his Star Trek paperweight. As he bends over to get it, a
something just outside of his eyeline catches his attention. "Hey fellas.
What's that on the lawn???"
The three walk to the front door and open it. There, on the lawn is THE
DEATH STAR!!!! From a speaker mounted on the side, a voice comes:
"Old School assholes! Old School!"
A beam fires from the emitter array and blasts three Pink Flamingos to
smithereens. It then focuses on the garden trolls for good measure! It's
work done, it flies into the sky and searched for it's next target. On the
bridge, a shadowy figure sits on a throne. From behind, an officer
approaches.
"M'lord, the attack on the spoilers has begun."
The shadowy one smiles at this news. "Excellent Commander. Who shall we
assault next? The Gonkites? Porkinites? Oh wait....YES! I have it!"
"What shall be the target sir?"
"Set coordinates for.... the TROLLS!!!!!"
"Excellent sir!"
The Newly built Death Star flies onward to it's evil purpose...
Just let those remember, I didn't start it, I just named it...quite
accidentally.
'Tis an honor I would gladly forego...

What do you do if you missed the last one entirely? The last thing I
remember is taking off from somewhere in the vicinity of the Snow Fortress

I don't even remember who else was on my ship.
I do think I need to order a new McSidekick, though.

Tell me a story. How did the ISGLE form up?
PB
make it funny, please
Funny? what is this funny that everyone always mentions??? Just for you I
will make this as unfunny as most of my Quantum Piett Episodes!! {in case
you did not know, I suck at funny.)
------
The story begins in 1997. I was a strapping young man on vacation in Sri
Lanka. Just as I was about to hail a cab, Two men grabbed me and forced me
into thier car. Inside was a strange man wearing a mask.
"Good Afternoon Mr. Ponte. I have been anxiously awaiting your arrival"
I stared at this guy for a few seconds and then I spoke. "Who are you and
why have you abducted me?"
"Abducted is such a strong term. I prefer to think of this as a meeting. I
have something to offer you Mr. Ponte, great things lie ahead for you."
He pulled back his mask and revealed his face to me.
"Oh My GOD! You're the Gomp droid!!!!"
"It's Gonk you jerk!" he spoke oviously annoyed at my mispronunciation. "A
war is brewing. Factions are preparing to strike against one another very
soon. I have need of your skills..."
"Skills? What can I do?"
"You are the great nuclear scientist Michael Robert Ponte of Boise Idaho,
aren't you?"
"My name is Michael Richard Ponte of Swansea, Massachusetts! I am a college
student. I work in a restaurant!"
"uh..." Seeing his mistake, a blaster emits from one of his panels (he's a
droid, people) and just as he is about to shoot me, an X-wing swoops out of
the sky and assaults the car! I manage to jump out the window just as the
first blaster bolt enters the front winshield! I watch, amazed, as Gom...I
mean GONK uses two mounted rocket packs to fly away to safety.
The X-Wing lands and magically, a ladder just appears right along the side
of it. A figure climbs down and walks over to me. He removes his helmet.
"WOW! It's Orson Welles!"
"My name is Jet Porkins!"
"Ooops, sorry. My bad"
"It's alright I get it all the time. My master has sent me to destroy the
evil Gomp Droid and his armies"
"I believe that it is pronounced GONK."
"Oh god, not you too. Well, anyway, We have seen some of your online work
and we would like to hire you."
"What for? If I may ask"
"You see, I am but the public face of a larger Organization known as the
True Faith of the Holy savior of the Internet- Porkins, the "TFOTHSOFI-P"
That name was far too long so we shortened it to "Porkinites"
"I see, somewhat. You mentioned that you were but the public face of this
movement."
"Indeed, I secretly work for the TRUE hero of the battle of Yavin."
"Luke Skywalker?"
"NO! Not farmboy! I work for..... GOLD LEADER!"
"Which one was he? The guy with the facial hair that Luke talks to before
going off to battle?"
"No, that's Biggs."
"Perhaps he is the dude that bails out on Luke because he takes a hit from
Vader?"
"Wrong again, that was Wedge, wussy bastard."
"The guy that lost his starboard Engine?"
"Nope. RED leader."
"That was closer though."
"True"
"Is he the guy that saved Luke and Han on Hoth?"
"Wrong movie"
"Uh....the fat guy that gets blasted apart like a little pansy?"
"No...No....HEY! I am not a pansy!"
"I don't know who he his. What does he do in the movie?"
"He's the guy that switches on his targeting computer"
"The A-Wing guy?!!!"
"Yeah."
"You're joking"
"No, why would I joke"
"That ship was so lame!"
"It did alright."
"Yeah, compared to your performance up there"
"Listen, I am not here to take abuse. I am here to recruit you. Do you want
a job or not?"
"What is this job?"
"You will be the President of the Secret Society devoted to Gold Leader."
"Why would I want to lead such an organization? He sucks!"
He reaches into his flight suit and withdraws a very large wad of cash, all
hundred dollar bills. "These guy have friends...lots of them!"
"You've convinced me. What shall we call this new group?"
"How about the International Society of Gold Leader Enthusiasts?"
"ISGLE eh? Not bad. Better than TFOTHSOFI-P."
"True..True..."
"So do we like hop into a Sith War or something?"
"Good god no! That is too much visibilty for Gold Leader. We will bide our
time. When RASSM is overrun by the Newbies, and the Oldbie factions have
grown weak, we shall strike!"
"When the Oldbies grow weak? That could never happen!"
"Oh, but it will... Gold Leader has prophesized the first step in the
dissolution of the Oldbie order. It is the union of Sal and Trory. When the
JTFC falls, so shall the Oldbies. The powerful Oldbies will get famous by
writing about Star Wars and will get good jobs. They will not have to time
post online anymore."
"But how will I infiltrate their world? I'm just a Newbie!"
"You are a Newbie now, but by the year 2002, you will be a part of thier
world! Go to thier Rassmcons! Make them think you are a nice guy! Aim
directly for Buttercup and Padmarie! They can be swayed to your side!"
"I don't know if I can pull this off."
"Don't worry, you have an advantage that none of them posses"
"Which is?"
"Sean Walsh."
"That Admiral Piett geek that I work with?"
"Yes, him. He has wormed his way into their world. Have him teach you the
ways of RASSM. He is your way in. When you no longer need him to support
your activities in the group, we shall strike!"
"This sounds pretty cool all of a sudden"
Porkins climbs up his ladder and boards his X Wing. "Stay strong Michael!
You can defeat them! We are counting on you!"
He rockets off into the sky to continue his War with the Gonkites.

I am pretty sure that Gold Leader flew an A wing in the film. He certainly
did not fly an x-wing. Jet was a typo, I obviously meant Cornelius Porkins

I can't believe I'm getting into this argument, but...it was a Y-wing.
We don't see A-wings until RotJ. It's the fighter that crashes into the

it's not an argument :)
he's just smoking the wrong weed.
"Floyd, did I just hear a tree crash into a Culture ship in the forest?"
"Naah, must be your imagination."
Huh. I shrugged. Guess the philosophers were right. At least, that was my last
thought before blacking out.
[Who? What? Where am I?]
An indeterminate amount of time later, I survey my surroundings. "RASSM," I
mutter. "Attack of the n00bs, huh?" I chuckle and walk off in search of the
nearest library, and a Louisville Slugger while I'm at it. I'm sure that a lot's
happened since Sith War VII...

"Use the Google, John."

Ah, yes, Google. Now who was that person again? Nevermind, there's a Death Star
zapping pink plastic flamingos. I quickly dropped a model of the Titanic (which
I had been carrying for some time, as the result of a bet against James Cameron)
in front of the Death Star and watched with satisfaction as it blew up and sank.
Oh well, waste of a perfectly good Death Star...
[The spectre appears again]
"You got your pronouns confused," he said before vanishing again.
I cleared my throat for no particular reason. Oh well, I thought, waste of a
perfectly lousy Titanic. And that annoying Leo.
