My parents brought a bunch of those Cuties oranges-clementines things, and Lloyd just loves ’em. He called me over to see what his little creation was:
They say you learn something every day -- but today I learned two things. The first is obvious. The second is that TIE actually stands for something -- I thought the name came from the fact that the ship kind of looks like a bow tie. (Yes, Star Wars fans everywhere are rolling their eyes right now.)
No, you are completely right -- I used to think the same thing. Do you think that it was one of those ‘find the acronym after the fact’ kind of things?

The picture is AWESOME! Ha!
I did not know what “TIE” stood for.
Peggy says
Very cool!! And I just love that you play with your food….I like making things with my french fries.
And I didn’t even know that that ship was called a TIE fighter. I did know it was of the dark side though.
