Just call me "Darth"



I was perusing some articles over on Wired.com and came across this:
http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/02/st_dropdownmenus/

And here is the final line:
So come up with something good. Grand Vizier? Empress Regent? Darth and Mr.? It’s your box, and it’s achingly blank.

It got me thinking; why do I insist on going by "Sir" or "Mr" (not that anyone calls me either)? I now proclaim I shall be referred to as "Darth" from now on. "Can I fill your cup, sir?"

No!

"Can I fill your cup, Darth?"

Yes! (and it's "may I", punk)

So, from now on, it's no more "Mr Dietle", it's "Darth Dietle."
