My holo-clock woke me at 4:15am,
or prior to sunrise at this latitude
on Batuu.
You. Are. Nuts.
The stormtroopers on patrol
at the checkpoint hardly gave
my blasters a glance.
Well at least it wasn't plastic cutlery, then you would have been in for a treat.
Tell me if it's unreasonable
of them to confiscate selfie-sticks.
Or do you agree with the First
Order upholding this rule?
It is perfectly valid for them to confiscate those things. Now if people weren't blatantly stupid, they would be OK, but they don't know better than to try and take selfies on roller coasters and other such contraptions. Cell phones go flying, the sticks hit other passengers in the cars or worse yet it gets lodged in the tracks causing a car to malfunction. There's a whole lot of stupidity out there and they need to keep a lid on it.
Did you see the video about the guy who jumped out of BTMRR because he dropped his cell phone?
The path we were following
narrowed and I felt myself
pushed up against the person
in front of me, while the entity
behind me was similarly pressed
up against me from the rear.
It was not a pleasant feeling and
I wondered what might happen
should someone stumble and fall.
I could see no way that they wouldn't
be trampled in the mad rush.
I was caught in a similar situation on NYE in Lake Tahoe a long time ago and another lifetime away, my feet were swept up off the pavement. I purposely avoid crowds like that now.
I doubled back over my
tracks and this offered me
a dorsal view of the ship.
Nice shot! I've never seen a park at sunrise!
The all-too-familiar holo-chess
board was being manned by
all-too-familiar faces.
Whoa! Now that's some expert photoshopping! Did you actually ride it three times and get three shots of yourself in different seats or did you drop in three different random pkondz photos? Inquiring minds want to know!
But the next time I fly this
bird, I want to be either a
gunner or a pilot.
I was too far back and too
distracted to really enjoy the
ride... If one can say they
"enjoyed" a smuggler's run.
Try pilot. If you're crazy enough to get up at 4AM when you haven't slept in however many days, you'd probably be crazy enough to actually enjoy the pilot seat!
Even for this time of the morning,
the Cantina was bustling with
off-world tourists, bounty hunters
and various other riff-raff.
It's five o'clock somewhere
in the Galaxy, right?
Were people actually drinking alcohol in there at that hour? It's barely legal to serve alcohol at that hour in California!
The flora here on Batuu always
catches me off guard.
It's amazingly Earth-like, with
only subtle differences that
aren't readily observable
under these suns' light.
You know that was one of the neat comparisons I was making when I was there. The plants that they have in Batuu West and Batuu East are similar
looking, but if you know anything about plants, you'll realize that in Batuu East they specifically chose exoticish looking plants that can take a lot of water, while on Batuu West they have chosen very deserty (not desserty) plants. It was kind of cool to compare the two.
It sure smelled good.
I had just decided to grab
a bite of roasted ronto
when a passing patrol spotted me.
Curse the luck!
I wonder what the breakfast rontos are like?
People! Not even close!
I told you I gave you a major
clue. Did the title of the TR
not tell you
anything???
Well what that sentence tells me is that if I want to do better at these contests I need to pick the MOST INSANE answers and go with that.
