Doctor's Log
August 26, 2004
Beach Head has a new phrase now, "Do or do not, there is no try." I have the feeling that the Greenshirts will be hearing a lot of that. Great, the last thing we need is Beach Head quoting Yoda.
Han Solo also seems to have competition now. I overheard Gung Ho declare that Princess Leia was the perfect woman for him. I don't know if I should laugh or shake my head. What has Duke started?
They watched the two new Star Wars movies today and were strangely enthralled. At least it kept them out of trouble, or so I thought.
Gung Ho later asked me for some markers to write on his cast. Figuring he was bored and no harm would come from it, I gave him three permanent markers, black, green, and red. I would come to regret it. The nurse called me back to the infirmary about 5:21 pm because they were causing a disturbance. When I walked in, Beach Head and Gung Ho were having a "lightsaber battle." Each were armed with pencil that they had converted to "lightsabers." They really must have been bored. Beach Head had taped two pencils together to form a double bladed lightsaber; he colored the two points red and the middle part black. Gung Ho had colored his lightsaber green and had colored the "handle" black.
Even more proof of their boredom was the fact that Beach Head had "Darth Wayne" written in red marker on his cast and Gung Ho had "Jedi Master LaFitte" written in green marker on his. To say the least, I was a little scared. After the ensuing battle, my Aikido training wasn't for nothing you know, I managed to confiscate the lightsabers. They're lucky they didn't give each other lead poisoning. I banned them from watching Star Wars movies anymore.
However, the markers seemed to have magically disappeared through means of "the Force," so I was unable to obtain them, much to my infinite regret.
It's only been six days so far and I already feel like pulling my hair out. Maybe Duke will send me out on a mission soon.
