New Year – New Challenges on the Death Star
So far the new year has not started off like Stormtrooper Bruce had hoped. He can only hope it gets better.
Vader: Pardon my intrusion on your little … Whoa! What’s going on? Where is everyone?
STB: The guys are off on missions – earning their keep. So this weekend I’ve decided to do some reading and enjoy some Quiet Time.
Vader: In that case, pardon my intrusion on your “quiet time” but I have some good news and some bad news, and thought it best to deliver it in person before it’s officially announced first of next week.
STB: Um… OK. Let’s start with the good news.
Vader: Well, as you know the Festival Bake Off was a colossal disaster. There were so many desserts entered the vast majority spoiled before the judges could get to them. Since every entry was numbered, the only solution is to have anyone still interested put their number in a pool and then we’ll draw 50 numbers, and those 50 will get another chance to enter a new dessert in a more controlled contest.
STB: You’re joking, right? Oh, sorry. I know you wouldn’t joke about that. But how can that possibly end well?
Vader: The Emperor has decided to oversee this Bake Off, and will be announcing new prizes at the time of the drawing.
STB: Well, that should cut down on the masses. Maybe only those who are serious bakers will enter. Just curious - any idea what the prizes will be?
Vader: Unfortunately, yes.
STB: Anything I might be interested in?
Vader: Unfortunately, no.
STB: Oh-Kay then. Let’s move along. If that was the good news, I’m not sure I want to hear the bad news. But go ahead. I’m a Trooper, I can take anything.
Vader: Good thing you’re sitting down. When the Emperor returned from his holiday, his sister and her family were still with him. Seems they just can’t find a suitable world they want to settle down in. And yes, that means his nephew is back on board.
STB:
Vader: Just thought you should know. Enjoy your quiet time while you can. Apparently my mishandling of the Bake Off has earned me temporary babysitting duties, but it won’t last forever.
STB: Sir, under the circumstances would you care to join me? I’ve got a cooler full of cold ones and I can make another grilled cheese sammy in no time.
