Did I mention I was a geek?

OK, so I just freaked my mother out with my uncanny ability to mimic a specific alien's lines in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

I told you I was a geek.

The alien's name is Nien Nunb, from the planet Sullust. He's the mouse-lookin' dude next to Lando Calrissian on the Millenium Falcon in the final fight. How do I know this? I told you. I'm a geek.

I can mimic his lines perfectly and on queue.

I shouldn't admit this, ever, but I actually sat down when I was 13 with a tape of Jedi, and memorized the seemingly gibberish uttered by the alien. It was mostly an attempt to be funny and freak out this other kid, fellow geek, Eric Politowski.
