**Love Child of George Lucas** was a five-member hard rock/heavy metal band from Sausalito, California, who were hired to play at the first mega Star Wars convention in Oakland in 1982. Very talented, they had instrumental renditions of many SF TV and movie themes. Each band member played numerous instruments, combining for a magnificent sounding concert. Unfortunately, to appear “ironic” to the fans, the band took the stage dressed as Capt. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, Engineer Scott and a “Red Shirt.” Fifteen seconds into their first number, an indignant cry went up from the massive audience, who rushed the stage _en masse_. When the fracas settled, the band members could not be found. Rumors that they were “transported” to another location were roundly ridiculed; “That technology does not exist in the Star Wars universe,” one fan said, “ergo, it didn’t happen. Worst convention ever,” the 450 lb. comic book store owner was heard to say. ---

**Love Child of George Lucas** regrouped, changed to acoustical instruments (with one snare drum) and performed the famous opera “Tangerine Highlights in Her Hair” to an appreciative audience in Bowlick, South Dakota. After their success in Bowlick they scheduled a six-performance run in Nancyville, North Dakota. Unfortunately, Ronnie Kelp (formerly Mr. Spock) forgot the lyrics to the second number and instead launched into a mumbling monologue about his Border Collie. Opera fans, shocked beyond belief to hear SPOKEN WORDS, rushed the stage _en masse_, leading to the second disappearance of the entire band. To date they have not re-emerged. ---

In 2015, Cleveland, Ohio was voted the city with the most boring team names for the 144th year in a row. This started with the now-defunct 1871 Cleveland Forest Cities\* and continued through the 1890 Cleveland Infants\*, the 1925 Cleveland Rosenblums\*, and the present-day Cleveland Browns\*. Even the players often forget the name of the team they are playing for and usually just mumble some approximation. \*All actual Cleveland team names. ---

Sir Rupert MacMack’s attempt to overthrow the world through the sales of Boy Scout Cookies failed dismally. Apparently no one wants to eat just flavors as “Colon Blocker”, “Sludge Drop” and “Phat Mints”. ---

Elton John’s hit _Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me_ was based on Bernie Taupin’s historical ode to western audiences in 440 BC, who constantly feared they would be set on fire at the end of the day. All concerts at that time were performed between 1 and 4 pm. ---

There was a huge public outcry when the last store was opened in The Mall of Tarsus, even though it was tucked into the furthest corner under the main stairwell. However, the addition of this store became the tipping point that pushed The Mall of Tarsus into seventh place as one of the Seven Commercial Wonders. This small establishment was Victor Victoria’s Secret, and their best-selling product, the Cross-My-Heart Bra, was renamed the Wonder Bra when the mall made the top seven. ---

The Mall of Tarsus, located on the road to Alexandretta in Turkey, is known for it’s many valuable and ancient artifacts, including the cup of Christ, which nobody has selected wisely in over 800 years. The cup remains hidden in a dusty corner of the market, and quests have died off over the centuries, but a person can still buy a lovely Bolex watch, a nice Cooch handbag, or a bottle of Channel #5.
