Obi-Wan says: Dear Sarah, Living in exile for so long here on Tatooine, I must have missed this "They Might Be Giants" group that you're going on about. Though, I *DO* know a thing or two about tap-dancing, as it is one of the major tests in Jedi training. All Jedis are forced to tap dance with Yoda on the swapms of his home planet. Using the Force to stand ON the swamp is hard enough, but try doing that WHILE tap-dancing AND trying to avoid stepping on Yoda -- let's just say most Jedis in training don't make it past this point without falling into the swamp and getting eaten by that hideous swamp monster that lives there. Yoda TRIES to help. Of course, he is always making us tap-shuffle-step to WHAM! songs, and he gets so caught up in the dancing that he usually doesn't notice that his student has been half-eaten. You have to give him credit, though, he usually manages to use to the Force to salvage an arm or a leg to send to the student's family for proper burial. Which leads to a bigger question -- Why DOES he live in that swamp?? I admit, the vapors are good for the gout (yes, Yoda has a serious case of the gout), but the man-eating monster doesn't seem so worth the medicinal benefits. *deep in thought* Oh, right. Sarah. Yes. Anywho, your love of the ancient art of tap-dancing shows that the Force is, obviously, with you. As for Istanbul -- you know, I vacationed there, many light years ago. Ahh, yes. Istanbul. Back when it was Constantinople. But now it's Istanbul. It WAS Constantinople, but that's been a long time gone. IN fact, every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul, which WAS Constaninople. So if you have a date in Condtantinople, (s)he'll be waiting in Istanbul. Ahh, Istanbul (not Constaninople) is a turkish delight on a moonlit night. *sigh* So, I guess your question is basically, why did Costantinople get the works? Well, Sarah, that's nobody's business but the Turks. 2006-03-20 - Sarah's Question: "What |
