	Title: My Name is Boba Fett Author: BrokenNoseOfQui-Gon Genre: Hopefully humor Characters: Boba Fett, duh! Summary: Boba Fett vents. My Name is Boba Fett My name is Boba Fett. It is not Buddy or Bobby, and it’s certainly not Bubba! My dad named me and he was a great man, and I know you don’t want to insult my father! Good, we’re getting along much better already. I’m a bounty hunter, just like my old man. I’m a damn good one, too. Keep that in mind. I’ve never failed to find my man…or woman or any other sort of sentient being out there. Like I said, I’m good at what I do. I see you snickering at my armor. I wouldn’t. This isn’t just any armor, it belonged to my father. It’s Mandalorian armor, which means it’s the best, just like me. My father was a great man and I’m just like him. I mean I’m really just like him. I’m his clone. No silly mother to muck up the works. I had a bunch of brothers at one time, but the Republic pretty much devoured them up during the wars, and so there aren’t any left anymore. Not any I know about, anyway. Not that we were ever very close, I mean they were clones, just ordinary clones. They weren’t special, like me. I’m an exact duplicate of my father, they were more like watered down copies. You get the picture. So it was just me and my old man. Until that stupid, kriffin Jedi chopped off his head. Now what kind of Jedi does that, I ask you? I was there; I saw the whole thing. Old Baldy just takes one good slice and there goes Daddy’s dead, sailing through the air. Things like that can warp a kid’s mind, you know. I haven’t forgotten about the Jedi, there just aren’t anymore around to kill. This Sith Lord – Vader they call him- took care of that particular problem. I have to admire his style; he doesn’t let any sissy feelings of compassion get in his way. He sees a mess that needs cleaned up and he makes sure the job gets done. No apologies, no whining, just gets it done. He’s my kind of guy. Bounty hunting is a job, just like a million others out there. Except that I probably have more fun doing my job than most beings do. I consider that a perk of the job. You should like what you do; it makes the days go by faster. Nothing is worse than watching your chrono crawl, the timeparts getting stuck in sludge. Sure, there are drawbacks, but every job out there has them. So what? Okay, the hours pretty much suck. I’m on call every single hour of the day and I may work for six standard months in a row without a day off. But that’s just the way the job goes. I don’t take a day off until I get my target. No sick days, no “personal” days, whatever those are. Who needs personal days? Just some whiners who can’t hack it, that’s who. I’m all about the work – just work. That makes me the best. You want a target acquired? I find them and I don’t whine about how difficult it is. You need that target to disappear? They’re gone! You want to make a rival reconsider his or her stubborn stance on a business venture? I can guarantee that they’ll soon see the matter in a whole different light. I can be very convincing. I like being the best. That’s one of the reasons I don’t work with anybody else. You can’t count on them. They’re lazy and undependable. They just don’t have the guts to do what the job demands. My dad had a partner once. Her name was Zam. It didn’t work out so well. She was cool, always brought me candy and stuff. But then she screwed up. She got caught. That is the second biggest no-no in our field. The biggest mistake is to squeal. You never talk. Getting yourself dead is a much better option than running your mouth. Bounty hunting is not a job for the lazy or the squeamish. If you faint at the sight of blood or other bodily fluids, you might want to consider the insurance industry. I do the job and I do it without making mistakes. There’s no room in this business for making mistakes. Bounty hunters aren’t like doctors, who get to bury their mistakes. Okay, maybe we do. But then we don’t get paid so it’s time wasted anyway. I don’t like to waste anything – not my time or my credits. Speaking of which, this is a huge waste of my time so I’m outta here. Unless you want to hire me? In which case I get paid up front, because I’m the best. -----signature----- My Name is Boba Fett http://boards.theforce.net/The_Saga/b10476/18371227/?0 Broken Nose of Qui-Gon http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=16981717& Luminous Beings http://boards.theforce.net/Before_the_Saga/b10475/17766838

	If I hear the word 'dad' one more time I'm gonna screeam! LOL! Bounty hunters aren’t like doctors, who get to bury their mistakes. Laughed so much over that line, I never thought about it that way, but it's certainly true! rofls -----signature----- K.E.P.P. Agent #19! I am the one and only Angry Scientist.
