author's note on the rap battle...
If you're ever in Dayton Ohio, ask the locals about the "help is on the way" man. He's this old-school rapping hobo. Some guys told me a story about how another bum started stealing the original "help is on the way" man's routine, which resulted in a city-wide trash talking rap battle between the two. It ends with the original "help is on the way" man riding his bicycle through an outdoor food court singing:
"don't be fooled by that sucker with his ripped off rhymes-
he may have stole my style but he won't see my dimes!
HELP IS ON THE WAY!"
...possibly the funniest story I ever heard.

That's amazing. I think my favorite is the rap battle.

That's insane. I applaud your dedication, though. I chuckled heartily at this, btw. Nice impromptu Vader outfit :D
