Height Wars: Return of The MountainBike Jedi
Not too long ago, in a LBS near you, a young MountainBike warrior braved the fronts of droids to ask for the price of his "X-Wing Fighter". A trader, namely "friendly LBS Auntie", gave our young Jedi knight a good lesson about height because our young warrior chose to ask for a "M-sized X-Wing Fighter". No purchase of anything has been made until now ... .. ... .... .. (sorry low budget, no scrolling text)

Date has been fixed. Today. Today is the day that Commando and I went down to the friendly LBS store near our work place. Wow... .. friendly auntie is in da house today. While looking around friendly auntie and asked if we needed some help. Of course, we're going to buy 2 mountain bikes today. I even brought my helmet because I'm going to cycle back home on my new mountain bike. Keeping my fingers crossed that the whole height topic would not surface again ..... Alas .. . I spoke too early.

Auntie: "Can I help?"
Commando: *Quick glances* "We're intending to get a mountain bike each today" (Jedi Commando meant fighter crafts)

Auntie: "Which model?" (She was asking about which model of fighter craft that we needed)
Commando: "Aaaa.... Avalanche 3.0" (Speaking slowly, treading into unknown dangerous territory now)

Auntie: "You need a S-size. S-M-A-L-L" (okay, I made up the spelling portion)
Commando: "Huh ... Auntie, you see me no up, ah. Small leh. I'm taller than Master Yoda, okay?" (Serious. Uh-oh. Jedi in rage now. I can feel the force of the dark side growing...anger, hatred. Sound of Lightsaber drawn out, Eggggg-ong!!)
Muggs: *Mumbles* "Here we go again. Uh-oh. On guard" *eyes roll*

Auntie: "Not see you no up. Look at auntie. I'm using a XL bike" (She meant fighter, when she says bike. Sci-Fi talk here. She really said XL)
Commando/Muggs: (Astonishment, exclamation in unison) "Sibo. Serious, ah?"

Auntie: "I bluff you for what. You looking at S-size now. Auntie hands shorter, riding one size smaller"
Muggs: "Ohh... .you mean XS, huh?"
Commando: "Si peh freeze, leh" (^_^)=o (*_*)

Auntie: "Hahha. XS .... XS." *embarrassed*

We deposited our IDs for 2 bikes (a.k.a X-Wing fighter), drawn out for test ride. A little difficult to test fly ... with several asteriods (human, walking asteriods) running around. We could only do it on a short strip of path. We felt that the S-Size is better in terms of maneuverability as compared to an M-Size. We decided and paid a deposit for our X-Wings, since only one S-Size is available. They place an order for another X-Wing. Constant battle with the Empire has caused the X-Wing fighters to go low on stock. Okay. We, the Jedi knights, will collect our order of X-Wing fighters on Monday. Republic and Empire don't fight on weekends.
