Coolest iPhone Game Ever

This is just awesome. I don't even mind that it simulates blowing up TIE fighters, I would rather play this than Angry Birds any day.

Thanks, But Its Not my Birthday

Clearly, someone just pulled one over on Channel 6 in Byron, MN, but imagine if this was your name? I want to change my first name to Master, then get a reservation at The Olive Garden and wait for them to announce that my table is ready over the loud speaker. "Master Vader, party of 1."

Creepy, Very Creepy

See this is why I believe in the Force. You got creepy Jesus guy here trying to use his position in the world to "enter" people or you get the force, which lets me remotely choke people. Seems like a no brainer. The force does have Yoda, and he is creepy and kind of looks like a misshaped Kermit the Frog, but at least the force never tried to enter any of us.

Chewbacca Dog

 

I'm not a huge fan of dogs. They remind me of Ewoks, their fur gets stuck in my mask's breathing apparatus and don't get me started on what happens when I get fleas inside this suit. This dog on the other hand just looks amusingly like Chewbacca. I want to put a little gold metal strap around him, train him to bark like a Wookiiee and then freak out Harrison Ford with him.

Sexy Wednesday

I took my TIE fighter out for a quick spin earlier today and got a great wash and wax for $5. Pretty sure this isn't her full time job.

Worst Star Wars Costumes Ever?

As a huge Star Wars fan myself, I love to see people dressed up for Halloween in awesome Star Wars costumes. Of course, sometimes a rather hefty fella puts on a Stormtrooper costume or a bald guy tries to be Luke, and while we respect them for trying, we get a laugh at their expense. At least those people look remotely like the Star Wars characters they are trying to be, this picture is just a complete disaster.

First of all, R2-D2 is just a trash can with an R2-D2 sign on the front. That's pretty awful, but to be fair, R2-D2 isn't easy to recreate. Bottom line, on Halloween, anytime you have to make a big sign to wear on the front of your costume that tells everyone what you are, your costume needs a redesign.

Over on the lower right, we have what I believe is Jabba? This costume would be just as good if he were going as a shrubbery, Oscar the Grouch, The Grinch, Shrek or even Gumbi. Just a shocking lack of effort here to even approach looking like Jabba, and for a while I thought he was Yoda. 

That is until I saw Robin Hood Yoda over there on the lower left. Hes got the walking stick, the green body and the brown shawl thing, but would it kill him to slap on some facepaint? A little green facepaint and this probably wouldn't be the worst Yoda costume of all time. 

The guy in the back in the black is supposed to be Darth Vader? It looks like he just bought a Ninja costume and decided not to worry about minor details like a cape, helmet or chest panel. If he separated from the group and  you had to guess what he was, I think Darth Vader would be guess 250 or so, at best. 

C3PO just looks like one of the Knights of the Round Table with a C3PO sign on him. Would it have been too much to ask for him to wear a gold t-shirt instead of blue? Or possibly spray paint his cardboard body parts gold? 

You have got to hand it to Leia, she actually sort of looks like Leia, minus the ridiculously small lightsaber, and the fact that it is red and she is not a Sith. I also don't recall Leia wearing comfortable walking sneakers in The Empire Strikes Back, but that is a minor nitpick here.

I really wish I had seen this group out on Halloween and had a few minutes to ask some questions about their thinking here. Who decided Star Wars theme? Why did they wait until 15 minutes before the party to tell everyone what costume to put together? Who carries R2-D2 around all night? Why does Jabba have sunglasses and a moustache? So many unanswered questions...

Sith In 2010

It is nice to know that long after our empire fell, ex-employees still uphold the values and morals we tried to employ.
I wanted to remind everyone in the US to vote tomorrow, and preferably vote evil. Along those lines, when you get to the bottom of the ballot, and there is some election for the regional comptroller or some nonsensical position that you have never heard of, feel free to write me in. You don't want some career politician who will give in to special interests, you want new blood in there, mixing things up. The only special interest that I am beholden to is self-interest. I won't raise taxes, mainly because I don't even know how taxes work. I won't make any laws that make your life any more difficult, unless you are a Jedi. I won't be spending a ton of your money at fancy restaurants, because most fancy restaurants won't even let me inside. At this point in my life, a tunafish sandwich and a Coke is a gourmet meal. What I am saying is, instead of electing some career douchebag to do nothing and waste your money, elect me to do nothing and waste slightly less of your money.
