For the motorcycle riding, S&M dabbling, Star Wars fan in your life

Nothing says, “Hey, I have a lot of disposable income from not dating,” like a full suit of leather motorcycle armor designed to look like a storm trooper. This is what it would be like if the 501st went to Top Gun. Check out the awesomeness

Jar Jar Looooves You

This is easily the worst Star Wars product ever. Actually, it’s the worst candy ever too. Excuse me while I go and try to unsee this.

Darth Vader Tai Chi

This is yet another reason to not mess with Darth Vader.

Must…suppress…crushing jealousy

There are folks that collect Star Wars toys, and then there is this guy. Just go look at the pictures. DO IT NOW!

Give me the money or Alderaan gets it

Darth Vader held up a Long Island bank the other day. I, for one, salute his dorktacular commitment. Full story.

Let’s get geeky!

I feel like we need to step up to dork level a bit. Here’s my humble attempt at a more pronounced geekery for a Thursday.

Cracked.com has been doing a fine series of photoshop contests lately. I’m partial to the series If History’s Greatest Minds Lived In The Modern World. Check out the facebook exchange between Newton and Pascal. “Shut up Joule!”

I’m going to get a Lawn Jawa. A friend rightly pointed out, “if you don’t get this for your yard then i don’t know you at all”

Ben doesn’t know it yet, but he’s getting Mad Scientist Blocks for Christmas. I think my favorite one is “K is for Potassium”. You bet it is!

The ewoks redeem themselves

Steve — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:41:20 +0000

There’s a little part of me that has always hated the ewoks. They were the festering boil on the neck of what was otherwise a solid conclusion to the original trilogy. Now, at long last, they have redeemed themselves in at least a small part. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you drunken ewoks moonwalking and humping Al Roker’s leg!

Stormtroopers 365

Once in a while I come across something that can only be considered brilliant. Stormtroopers 365 definitely falls in that category. The guy is a talented photographer and has chosen an amazing subject for a daily photo project: stormtrooper action figures on adventures. You can see how these are going to be great. Check out the collection to date and sign up for the daily email. DO IT NOW!

It’s amazing when even the icing people are embarrassed to be involved with a cake. Or it could just be the nauseating interspecies sexual tension between a princess in a gold bikini and a big naked worm with no obvious genitals. Tough to say.

Oh Disney, sometimes I hate you so much

I never thought I’d see an officially sanctioned Star Wars production that would crap on my childhood more than the last three movies. I was so very wrong. Disneyworld thought it would be fun to turn Star Wars into a dance production. I haven’t seen anything this poorly conceived since somebody decided Carrie Fisher was plenty sober enough to sing the Life Day song. Sigh

Be sure to watch long enough to see Darth Vader bust out the Hammer Dance.
