CPT Daisuke Airyu, reporting in for the week of 4/21-4/27, 2001
THIS WEEK'S GRUDGE MATCH
Return of Kessler
VS
Return of the Jedi
Airyu: This should be interesting.
Serovich: I hardly call a fight between a twice ex-Fleet Admiral and a movie interesting. Hell, it's nmot even a fight!
Airyu: Now wait just a second, I never said Kessler would be fighting. The match-up compares the coolness and style of the manner in which mhe made his return to the Challenge.
Kessler: What's that now? *puts hand on Airyu's shoulder*
Airyu: Style... ah hel, you just appeared out of nowhere, where's the style in that?
Serovich: Now now, sudden and/or gradual appearances and disappearances are stylish! They used it in Return of the Jedi all the time!
Airyu: ...
Kessler: If I'm fading into existence when I go someplace, does that mean every time I do that, a Jedi dies somewhere?
Airyu: You're a sick, sick man. Which is why you beat the hell out of Return of the Jedi.
Moral: Suck up to the ex-FO and originator of the weekly grudge match
