Question to any other Lukes out there:

How often do you get people telling you "Use the Force." and "Luke, I am your Father."?

most people i know with any measure of wit about them avoid saying it, because they are fully aware of how stupid it will make them sound. everyone else (i try to associate with witty wiseasses, but there are lots of witless masses out there) only gets the remark off once, after which they are usually shamed by a condecending frown.

its amazing how you can make someone feel utterly (and often appropriatly) without worth, without saying a single word. its not that i MIND starwars jokes, or even that i MIND people making fun of me. my nicknames PUKE for godsakes. I suppose that i just feel slighted when someone thinks that they deserve to insult me without putting any THOUGHT into it. I mean, look at the banter in the Phong's Head Cantina. GT and THG put some EFFORT into their daily smack-talk. Thats all i ask for, just a little effort. at least ask if my Schwartz is as long as yours, or if ive kissed my sister lately.

often people will ask if i ever hear starwars jokes about my name which, as far as i can tell, is my cue to deliver a stupid look and my best deadpan 'no.'

since im a young-un (1978, for those who didnt scroll through the entire 'how old are you' thread) the occasional genius asks if my PARENTS were starwars fans.. good god. i never know wither to look condesending or just plain disgusted at their ignorance on that one. When I can muster an answer instead of laughing at them, i try to tell them that 'no, they were infact fans of fictional literature about hay-soos, the guy the romans nailed to a tree'

so to sum it up, no Kwok, i think youre alone.
