Art imitates Bart

Back in 2007, I coined a new (at least as far as people writing things on the internet is concerned) phrase: "Darth Vader Crossing the Delaware".

This isn't the first time I've made history. I'm about to do it again. Last week, I made a nice little bon mot, and after about 5 minutes of asking "who was that guy that wrote Swimming to Cambodia, or Walking to Cambodia, or whatever the hell that was?" and finding out the answer was Spalding Gray, I boldly declared "I'm the Spalding Gray of this shit." My little shout-out to the late grate O.D.B. Obviously, it would have been way more awesome if I'd have remembered his name right away. And yes, if you're wondering, per Google, I'm the first person ever to write that phrase on the internet.

Back to Darth Vader Crossing the Delaware. I coined the phrase in early 2007. In July of 2008, a web site ran a contest to encourage people to combine Star Wars with great works of art. Guess what one of the entries was?

Oh snap. It is Darth f-ing Vader crossing the mother f-ing Delaware. Sometimes life imitates art, but now art is clearly imitating Bart.

Here's some of the other ones I enjoyed. This was was kind of obvious:

 

No, not Padme!

 

This one makes me laugh every time: Jabba the Lutheran.
