Ok, at work and nothing to do.
So, I will give a cookie to the person who can come up with the best SMUGGLER link.
Now by smuggler link i mean a link to a page on the web in some way related to smuggling.
This contest excludes SWG related stuff!
Since we cant smuggle in game, lets see what we can come up with out of game!!
Good luck and may the best smuggler win!!
* Time limit will be two days from time of post.
Ready GO!!

I couldn't resist to rewrite that song a bit:
----------------------------------------------------------
A Smuggler's Song
by Rudyard Kipling (a bit rewritten by Jag)
If you wake at Midnight, and hear a dewback's feet,
Don't go drawing back the blind, or looking in the street,
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie.
Watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by!
Five and twenty dewies
Trotting through the dark -
Brandy for the Parson.
'Baccy for the Clerk;
Laces for a lady, letters for a spy,
And watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by!
Running round the woodlump, if you chance to find
Little barrels, roped and tarred, all full of brandy-wine,
Don't you shout to come and look, nor use 'em for your play.
Put the brushwood back again - and they'll be gone next day!
Five and twenty dewies...........
If you see the stable door setting open wide;
If you see a tired dewback lying down inside;
If your mother mends a coat cut about and tore;
If the lining's wet and warm - don't you ask no more!
Five and twenty dewies...........
If you meet Emperor Palp's men, dressed in white or red,
You be careful what you say, and mindful what is said.
If they call you "pretty maid", and chuck you 'neath the chin,
Don't you tell where no one is, nor yet where no one's been!
Five and twenty dewies...........
If you do as you've been told, 'likely there's a vessel,
You'll be given a dainty doll, all the way from Kessel,
With a cap of pretty lace, and a velvet hood -
A present from the Gentlemen, along o' being good!
Five and twenty dewies...........
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie -
Watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by!
--------------------------------------------------------------
chance and france gave me a real headache... hope it still makes sense at that place now...
I am open for opionions and suggestions what else to change to make it more starwarsy =)

Ok guys and gals...very nice submissions. Thanks to all who participated. Dot let this thread die, keep them comming.
However the time has come for me to hand out my cookie.....
Well i'm going to cut it in half.
The first half of the peanut butter cookie goes to: Second2nunn for the RL smuggling equipment. Plus it was Rolling Stones, don't get much better than that. Ok we are goint to chalk that up to the physical aspect of smuggling.
The second half of the peanut butter cookie goes to AidenStark for the Rudyard Kipling song. This is to represent the spiritual aspect of smuggling.
Thanks for playing folks and keep them comming.
P.S. the Han Solo bit was very very very funny.

Very very funny but no cookie?! Are you so stingy with your imaginary cookies that you couldn't throw a few crumbs my way? I mean, I typed "Han Solo" into Google and everything. It took me thirty or fourty seconds to find that link! I could have been grinding FS xp with that time! I could be a jedi now and you can't even give me an imaginary cookie!?
HOW DARE YOU! I'M GOING TO QUIT! MY SUBSCRIPTION RUNS OUT AT THE END OF 2008 and I JUST MAY NOT RENEW IT UNLESS THE DEVS GIVE ME THE IMAGINARY COOKIE THAT SQUATCH HAS DENIED ME!
I MEAN IT! My hand is getting very close to the cancel button...
Are you scared?
How about now?
