Best. College. Prank. Ever.: R2-D2 Observatory

There’s more genius to this prank then meets the eye. A group of students at Minnesota’s Carleton College decided that the school’s very own Goodsell Observatory was due for a face lift. The real genius behind this prank is that the students did not turn to defacement to achieve the droid they were looking for. This group of enterprising young ...

Yoda Pizza Was Surely Delivered Via the Force

I can’t say I’ve every thought of Jedis as edible, but if you think about it, eating Yoda might actually be OK. He’s not human, so it’s not technically cannibalism. But it would be a little odd eating a creature that could talk back to me. The Yoda Pizza is made using green peppers, black olives, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese and ...

Star Wars Tuxedo Shirt: It’s a Black TIE Fighter Affair

Alright, this really sucks. I was just invited to a wedding and of course it’s a black tie affair. The real problem is that I hate the way I look in a tuxedo. I look like a butler or a chauffeur or a bathroom attendant. I need something more suited to my personal brand of style. The TIE Fighter Tuxedo ...

Premakes: Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back, 1950s Style

If George Lucas had been born about 25 years earlier, Star Wars would have turned out a hell of a lot different. In this excellent “premake” trailer by Ivan Guerrero, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is transformed into a campy 50s sci-fi epic, complete with chintzy-looking robots and “amazing” 3D effects. The premake was made by splicing together classic ...

Boba Fett Fleece Beanie: Collect Some Heads While Warming Your Own

The Fett-man has become one of the most endearing characters in the Star Wars universe. Second in evil only to Darth Vader (and perhaps Jabba the Hutt, but even that’s debatable. Jabba’s motives were out of pure greed. Boba simply loves to kill). Etsy user daniellemaupin sold her Boba Fett Fleece Beanie for $25, so you might have already missed ...

Three Ewok Moon T-Shirt: Wait, That’s No Moon

The majesty of the Three Wolf Moon t-shirt (now in PJ form!) is almost impossible to upstage. But if there was anyway to do it, I’m pretty sure the Star Wars Shop just figured it out. The Three Ewok Moon tee pays homage to an internet meme which some might consider played out, but this design provides a breath of ...

This Is Why Backyards Were Invented

None of this modern “safety-first” crap. Just your kids, fifteen feet in the air, supported by a few sketchy looking stilts. Anything in the name of Star Wars. And with a “4-sound electronic console” how could you possibly go wrong? Link

AT-AT Baby Stroller Forces Newborns to Absorb Your Geekiness

So, the other day I was thinking about how bad I’m going to torture my kids. And I’m not even going to wait until they’re old enough to defend themselves against the torture. Oh, no. Sure, call me evil. I call it crafty. The AT-AT Baby Stroller will hopefully ingrain some form of geekiness into my child’s mind even before ...

Save Yourself a Trip To Hoth and Just Buy Your Own Wampa Rug

And it’s no longer necessary. ThinkGeek has removed the need to travel across the universe just to pick up an authentic Wampa Rug. No bloodshed (at least on your ...

The Imperial March Performed Using Hand Farts

Hand farting is a tremendously underrated art form. It’s a wonder that some of the pop songs these days reach the top of the charts, yet hand farting is still yet to have even reached the Billboard echelon. I don’t know about you, but I’d choose hand farting over Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em any day. Especially if the hands happen ...
