Chapter 1: You Might Have Flaky Hardware
Everyone's favorite piece of hardware is of course R2-D2. Still, like the millenium falcon, our little friend is flakier than a street leper with dandruff. This of course leads us to
ask,"Is the Force just a flaky hardware superstition?"

"The flaky thing about Artoo Detoo is that he..."
-
Hangs out with loser protocol droids.
-
Often unevenly heats my Hot Pockets™.
You know, burnt on the outside, frozen on the inside. I hate that.
-
Unexpectedly explodes when shot with a turbo laser.
-
Has a tendency to wander unguarded into the desert.
-
Has a speech impediment.
We're not kidding. He's trying to speak English.
-
Won't run Quake III higher than 640x480.
-
Withholds and garbles messages from princesses.
-
Shoots lightsabers from the head.
Sure this is funny at parties, but he does it all the time now. It's not a joke, it's a disability.
-
Often sticks I/O plug in a port that doesn't want it.
-
Secretly lusts after Jawas.
-
Attacks Ewoks at random.
Hey, that's a feature.
-
Has a name like "Artoo."
-
Uses same sequence of beeps to communicate both "I'm happy" and "The princess is going to die if you don't move your metal-plated ass, you whiney boot-licking pansy."
See speech impediment and loser protocol droids.
-
Thinks of restraining bolts as kinky bondage and not as the strange, movement impeding robo-nipples they are.
-
Copies over Death Star plans with pornography.
-
Lets the wookie win.
-
Spills Jabba's drinks.
-
Is a whore.
What like you didn't hear 3PO say,"Buy that one, Luke. He's very good. Trust me, I know."
-
Contains a cramped midget.
-
Always seems to draw enemy fire.
-
Headbutts other astromech droids.
You just wanted to use the word astromech.
-
Tries to fix complex space craft with what seems to be a 1/2 inch finger.
-
Can't close that creepy single eye.
-
Has a third leg, but it's sold separately.
Remember that droid repair shop playset? That thing rocked!
-
Pushes whiney bastards off hoverships in the desert...without killing them.
It was almost a feature.
-
Sprays type "A" extinguisher fluid on electrical fires.
-
Smokes crack. ...though I'm not sure how.
-
Is androgenous like "Pat."
Pat always makes it onto these lists.
-
Is inorganic, but still hits on the princess.
Special thanks to Pepper Jobe for the idea.
