 | Limerick Friday! |
 The Princess hastily stalled upon
Seeing the target was Alderaan
She named a fake base
A bluff just in case --
One which the Governor called her on.

That Tarkin had quite a chip on his shoulder.
Great Lim!

When he asked for a blow-up from Tarkin
It was up the wrong tree he was barkin'
For all Vader desired
Was a girl who ne'er tired
Not new space for the Death Star to park in. ![]:)](http://blogs.starwars.com/share/img/emoticons/devil.gif)

You made Alderaan rhyme? Impressive...
A bluff just in case --
Perhaps it's best she grew up to be a Princess and not a gambler. Which somehow makes me think of Lando. He didn't get away with his bluff with Vader, either.
Hey, I guess what Star Wars is really about, is poker!

Princess: Dantooine, they're on Dantooine.
Tarkin: Dantooine is far too stupid of name to attack. So we'll settle for Alderaan.

Good lim, Stooge! Good thing it wasn't the Governator in charge of the Death Star. "Hasta la vista, Alderaan" would be a little over the top.

That one was fabulous, excellent and so on!
Oh you. I could listen to you all day!
That Tarkin had quite a chip on his shoulder.
Ha!
Also applies to Vader, poihaps?
I think that was one of your best lims yet!
Certainly one of my best from the past seven days.
Charming... to the last!
The last of ALDERAAN! That's right, Princess, cuz I just blowed up your planet! Ho ho!
I recognized Tarkin's foul stench when I clicked on this blog.
I'm broadcasting in Smell-O-Vision? I had no idea...

Oh, I can't help myself... Vintage Shameless Blug Alert!
So how was that?
Not bad, not bad, Nubian...

You made Alderaan rhyme?
Only once.

Tell me about it. <-----Yet Another Shameless Blug Alert!
Tarkin: Dantooine is far too stupid of name to attack. So we'll settle for Alderaan.
I always thought Dantooine was Tatooine's younger brother.
Good thing it wasn't the Governator in charge of the Death Star. "Hasta la vista, Alderaan" would be a little over the top.
Hey, that's my Fearless Leader you're mocking!
You got to know when to hold 'em....know when to fold 'em.
That reminds me, I gotta go do my laundry.

Looks like great minds think alike.
As a friend of mine used to say -- and so do ours!

Good ol' EU. Take an idea and beat it to death.

[jacksparrow]But you have heard of me...[/jacksparrow]
Congratulations on Blog of the Day.
DITTO!!
Thanks! Of course, now that I'm posting, it's over.
It may not have been the best joke ever... But it was so artfully done.
You remind me of Thrawn...

You know . . . what it all boils down to is that Governor Tarkin was not a man of his word . . . or his inferred word. It bothered me that he implied he wouldn't have Alderaan destroyed if Leia coughed up a planet with a military base. How did he know - really know - there wasn't one on Dantooine? Did he have clairvoyance? Did he have any Force powers that would enable him to know for sure that Dantooine was too far away to mount an attack?
I don't think so!!!
Sorry, Stooge. This just got me to thinking . . . not necessarily a good thing . . .
