    While wearing my TIE Interceptor Pilot costume and riding my motorcycle, I was pulled over by two police officers. The Sergeant walked up and asked, "What in the WORLD are you doing?" I explained how the backpack ventilator worked, and the voice warping amp, plus the wireless sound system in the helmet. He was confused.
    Well, it WAS July... #starwars

    Thanks for the cutout-masks. It's been awhile since I've had a C-3PO's flashback.

    One of the best promotional cereal repackagings of the 80's. Same cereal went into C-3PO's and Iron Man (like the triathalon, not the alcoholic). They didn't even try to make it look SW themed.

    Ah....sugary memories. #starwars

    @bonniegrrl: As a kid I got a crochet and beer can hat for a Christmas present once from some relative. I never wore it and I can't even remember who gave it to me.

    That person is so lucky I don't remember. At least it wasn't a pink bunny suit though... #starwars

    If I ever have kids, one will be wearing that Yoda costume.

    For now though, I foresee my black lab as Vader, and I know a pomeranian I can easily make into an Ewok.

    Very pretty.
    Can't quite imagine ever giving a quilt to a little kid so they can destroy it, however.

    A $2000 pricetag on a homemade quilt is quite normal. Having a grandma that makes quilts and enters quilt shows, I've seen quite a few priced similarly. The cost of materials and hours of labor really do add up, and some people even ensure them.

    That said, screw little kids. I want one of those on my bed. #galaxyquilts

    @Mathmos: I suppose that's if you're on the scholar or cultist side of things. I suppose if you're smart, you can sell to both markets.
