Gig 49. Space LLC.

A space themed LLC last night, so I ended up talking about star wars.

The names are daft aren't they? And because they are made into toys every character has a name, even when it's never mentioned in the film. The little beaky thing that sits next to Jabba the Hut and cackles is called Salacious Crumb. That's a bit grand isn't it. It's like something Dickens rejected before settling on Ebeneezer Scrooge. I think he should have gone with it...

"Salacious Crumb was a wicked old money lender, hated throughout the city for his meanness and cold heart, and because he was 2 feet high, only ever said 'EEEEEEEEEEH!' and went around with his best mate who was an enormous slug.
'A merry Christmas', said Bob Cratchet.
'EEEEEEEEEEH!' said Salacious Crumb.
'Mocha Chocka Lata Yaya' said Jabba, then some urchins poured salt on him."
