So Vader was kidnapped today. It looks like my pranks at work are catching up to me, swapping keys on the keyboard, changing peoples login sounds, tormenting Yoda, flipping campaign sings on the city counsel mans/webmasters car upside down. These things come at a cost. So below is the email I got from the “kidnapper” they are going under the name “JessiePutter@gmail.com feel free to email them. I have replied to them explaining that Darth has asthma and also has high blood pressure, he needs his meds. I am not sure where this will lead, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

“Hogan,
We have Vader and are holding him hostage. If you want to see him again follow the rules and do exactly what we tell you or kiss him good bye.
1. You have to eat a sandwich with real meat on it in front of your wife.

2. Submit your light blue Crocks in a plain grocery bag and deliver it to the training room in building G of the Herman Reagan Center.”

The Kidnapper

Now my first reaction is to take a stand and not negotiate with terrorist. That is the American way. However, I am Irish and we also do not negotiate, but we are pretty crafty with situations like these. The 1st rule is not to panic. Show no fear, that is what they want. How do you do this? Well, you have a drink, and thats what I did.

2nd, we get creative. This will require a few more drinks, but by Monday I may not have Vader back, but I will have their attention.

As of now I am in false negotiations……this is all part of my plan.
