Damnit, Darth , you’re terrorizing the entire house. I swear, where’s Luke riding a teacup pig when you need him? Haha, what do you mean he’s in his room with Leia and the door’s locked? Doesn’t he know? No?! Holy shit this is gonna be hilarious! But first: I need for you to order one of those fake “always positive” pregnancy tests. Picture Thanks to sham, who will always be a sham-wow in my book.
Flickr user -2×4- (not to be confused with his beefier, off-roading brother, -4×4- ) went and built a fully functional LEGO Star Wars foosball table . Sure it’s tiny as hell and I wouldn’t hesitate to Hulk-smash it to bits if you beat me, but it is pretty amazing. Like the miracle of life, but this one wasn’t squeezed out of a vagina. Right, -2×4-? Please God tell me it wasn’t. Hit the jump for several more of the out-of-this-world sports table! (Kill me now)
This is a stunning 30,000 piece LEGO replica of the Star Wars Droid Control Ship. It took builder Paul Yperman two years and a small fortune in LEGO bricks to construct. However, it did not take a pyrotechnics license. Boooooooooooooooo!! FIREWORKS SHIP NEEDS MORE FIREWORKS. Some years ago I walked into a second hand book shop and I bought a Star Wars Cross sections book. In the center stood the Droid Control Ship. It blew my mind and I knew I had to build it. I used almost 30000 parts. Lots in the center globe that I build with the aid of a building program that I found on the web. 3500 tiles to cover the outside structure. Lots of Technic parts to make the inside frame, so I could move, lift and take it apart without breaking it. The technic parts are joined left/ right and top / bottom, resulting in a firm and solid almost selfcarrying structure. First of all, who the hell parts with a Star Wars cross-section book? CAUSE THEY BETTER HAVE DIED. Secondly, I’m serious, who would do that? That’s like sneaking original, unopened He-Man figures into Toys R Us and putting them back on the shelf. You gotta be crazy! Hit the jump for a bunch more of the amazing amazingness, as well as the link to higher-res shots.
Honey, have you seen my lightsaber USB drive ? Haha, what do you mean it’s in your panty drawer? These USB lightsabers come in red and green, light up when you plug them in and will set you back $20 for 1GB of storage. Amazingly, they’re actual Lucasfilm licensed products from Japan. Really? Because I would have manufactured the same thing, not gotten any licensing rights, and sold them as lightswords BECAUSE I’M A RUTHLESS BUSINESSMAN. Don’t believe me? Then why did I just kill my secretary? Wait, why did I just kill my secretary? I’M ROOFLESS, YOUNG’N! ThinkGeek Product Site via Lightsaber Flash Drives [ohgizmo]
I’m not endorsing it, but it does show what kind of movie Star Wars could have been if the lightsabers were made of fleas. (Thanks to: Liz)
This just in: the new viewing module added to the International Space Station is actually a refurbished TIE fighter cockpit. You heard it here first. Also, I’m the world’s greatest lover and have a body that could make Adonis cry tears of pure abs. What — you already heard that? Was it written in a bathroom stall? Yeah I did that. Picture [nasa] Thanks to Sister Angus McBastard, one hell of a holy sandwich. And Ryan, who took the time to make the mashup pic. Good lookin’, Ryan. Really, you are.
This is a video of a flashmob lightsaber fight that took place over the weekend at a mall in Britain. Now I’m not saying I would have screamed and soiled my pants had I been in the midst of all that, but I would have robbed the nearest jewelry store and blamed it on Luke Lightsaber over there. Over 100 Star Wars fans broke into an an massively epic lightsaber fight in Bristols Cabot Circus, a shopping mall in Bristol, England. The flashmob was organized online through facebook, and took place on February 13th 2010. Over 100 people is all it takes to be the world’s largest lightsaber fight? I would have figured it would at least take 1,000. But what do I know about world records? Besides, oh I don’t know, WORLD’S FASTEST LOVER! Aaaaand I’m good. Hit the jump for a longer, more professional video.
This is a picture of part of a Star Wars invasion of Dubai taken by photographer Cédric Delsaux and CG-ified by Pierrick Gueneugue. I posted a couple more after the jump but you really need to go the website and see them all in high-res for full appreciation. And speaking of appreciation: did you know today is Love A Blogger Day? It is, I just invented it. Suck it, Hallmark, you don’t have shit on my holiday inventing skills! Pfft, Grandparents’ day, don’t make me laugh. Hit the jump for a couple more and another link to the whole gallery.
Don’t do it Admiral ! Also, is that a womp rat ? Because I don’t know if I told you but I used to bull’s-eye womp rats in my T-16 back home. Yep, yep, yep, and have a thing for my sister (I watched her shower once, it’s true). admiral ackbar [izit] and It’s a Trap Woot shirt available again
Sure Retro Thursday isn’t even a real segment on Geekologie but you never know, I might run with it. And by “it” I mean your bike . Of course if I was smart I would ride with it, but I’m not. This is a Japanese commercial from 1978 for Hagoromo canned tuna featuring one-off three-off versions of your favorite Star Wars characters . It didn’t really make me want to run out and buy tuna. Slim Jims and beer, sure, tuna not so much.
