Overheard in the Office...

The traffic lady on the morning news has said there's a wreck at Banta Road...
Me: (talking to Huck) "Did you heard that? They ride their Banta Roads in single file to hide their numbers!"

RX: "What?"

Me: "I'm talking to your cat."

RX: "I thought it was 'Bantha'?"

Me: "It is, but 'Banta', 'Bantha', close enough."

RX: "There's been linguistic drift."

Me: "'Banta' is how Cockney sandpeople say it."

Bantu at Rorke's drift? I thought they were Zulu.

Cockney Sandpeople.....

So, you are helping George Lucas to write the new script?

"Star Wars-The Wrath of Huck"


Works for me

Cockney sand people......

Now THAT should make for some interesting rhyming slang.

I should do a post about the Tusken Raider's rifle. It is apparently called a Gaderffii. Or 'Spanner.'

Most of the Tusken Raider rifles you see these days are Beggar's Canyon counterfeits brought back by rebel soldiers from the on post bazaar. You can tell because the crown stamp is crooked.
