Sith Romney says...

![]() I came up with this one on a caption Romney thread that can be found here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002968637 I thought it was clever enough (if I do say so myself) to have its own thread. Enjoy!

1. Nice!!
Because of my username and obvious resulting appreciation for Star Wars humor, I'm naturally obligated to respond. ![]() |

2. Thanks, and no...
It's a Star Wars reference. When Luke (disguised as a stormtrooper) first meets Leia she says "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?" I believe Spaceballs was referencing that scene when there was one short stormtrooper-type. I think that was the gag? Been a while since I've seen Spaceballs.
Edit: And you have to know about Rmoney's quote in Michigan about the trees being the right height to get the full joke. |

3. YW
Should have been more clear . . . I got the "too short for a Stormtrooper" ref and the callback to the insane remark about the trees. I thought weaving them both into one caption was brilliant! Just thought it might have been a triple entendre as I thought there was something in Spaceballs about Stormtrooper height as well. Like you, I haven't seen it in ages. I'm fully in favor of Dark Helmet or Sith Lord Rmoney as a new nickname.

4. no prob
Yeah, I thought most would get the "trees" reference but I added it to that reply just in case some sees this thread and goes "Huh?".
Don't you think "Sith Romney" has a nice ring to it? ![]() |
