Subject: The Dark Side

Did anyone see that show about embarrassing parents? I think it was on MTV. The one I saw featured a kid around seventeen and his dad who was over the top into Star Wars. The kid had all but grown up and his dad was bothered that he had never developed an affinity for the Force. Anyway, to appease his dad, the kid agreed to accompany him on a trip to a Star Wars convention.

They showed kid and dad walking through the airport. Dad was all decked out in his Jedi gear, with plastic light saber at his side. Kid was walking several feet behind dad as people stopped dad several times to confirm that he was indeed a Jedi. The kid looked miserable.

Then they go to the convention. I'd always wondered how these guys decide which character they'll be. Apparently, it's a calling. The kid and dad are walking through all of these Darth Vaders, Skywalkers. Chewbaccas. Dad is chatting some of his compatriots up while kid tries to keep at least some semblance of sanity. One of the guys dad talks to is decked out in Storm trooper gear.

This is where the calling came in. The kid decided he thought the storm trooper gear looked kind of cool. The trooper told them that he had some extra gear, and invited dad and kid back to his room (the day I follow a storm trooper to his hotel room is the day I cease being the skillet). They went, and the guy really did have extra gear.

After the kid put on his get up, Dad lost it. Dad started crying. Remember, Dad is a jedi, so called fighter for the cause of the republic. Dad wails that he "never thought [kid] would give into the dark side." It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

As a post script, the dad (as jedi) hugged the kid (as storm trooper) and both started crying. Then the lonny with the extra stuff (storm trooper number 2) started crying because his dad never got how importnat the Force was to him. So you had a jedi and two storm troopers bawling. It was one crazy show.

ALL HAIL THE TRUE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE.

[> I saw part of that thing. The dad made the kid's girlfriend come in and take a tour of the Jedimorabelia. As awkward as I was in high school, by the time I actually got a girl to meet my parents, I would have hurled myself off the roof if my old man had busted out the Force. The dad had some serious issues -- BP, 10:01:44 08/14/02 Wed

[> I know this dork from the southwest corner of Ohio who has a Darth Vader talking machine in his den. He loves to make it talk whenever anyone goes into his house. This guy indeed has the "Dark Side" in his blood. Remember that no person must mess with the "Dark Side" or else face its full on offensive of mass wedgies and complete inhilation! -- MANWHORE, 19:10:21 08/14/02 Wed

[> [> I do not know the dork you are speaking of Sir Manwhore, but I also have a talking Darth Vader "Dark Side Trainer" in my home office that I use to scare kids and neighbors. It has helped me find my inner "dark side" on many a cold night and given me courage to crush the weak and aid in my quest to erase the French from this earth. -- NJ! NP!, 09:54:44 08/15/02 Thu

[> You should have seen Kathy Griffin bring Gay Gary's parents on her pathatic MTV show. That show got canned fast, and for a reason. The show with her parents was some of the worst television that I have ever seen. -- Roscoe, 13:50:47 08/15/02 Thu
