This “hunk of junk” has outmaneuvered a fleet of TIE fighters through an asteroid field and, while most ships in Star Wars — from Imperial Star Destroyers to X-Wing fighters — are capable of faster-than-light travel, only the Millennium Falcon has the benefit of specialized care from Han Solo and his trusted copilot Chewbacca. Like Han Solo, business professionals are…

Sic Semper Tyrannis... I was horrified, ready to bolt upright and escape whatever my mind was about to cook up. I opened my mouth to scream, and... Laughter? The laughter of comedy!

Unknown forces 2022, height of the trans-Canadian war, and I’m stuck here in school, Washington, 17, still single, like a fuckin nerd.
