Rejected Star Wars Product #4

What kid would not want a Tauntaun suit? All the other costumes that make it appear that you are riding something pale in comparison to the beauty of this costume. I did find a guy who built his own and it doesn't look half bad.


I am still hoping that Lucasarts will release this as an official costume. I'll wait for the "deluxe" version, you know, the one that doubles as a sleeping bag like one that Kenner released for the action figures years ago (which I had).

Useless Fact - 3-29-08


FACT: Uranus' orbital axis is tilted at 90 degrees.

"I've been studying Uranus quite a bit lately, and I've found out a lot of things about Uranus that I didn't know before. I'm going to take a bit of time away from my usual routine to discuss Uranus with you. If you're looking for comedy, you probably won't be very interested. Uranus can be funny, but it can also be serious. Maybe you'll learn something about Uranus, yourself.

Uranus is huge. You could easily fit a planet like Mars inside Uranus several times over. Scientists are unsure about the exact size of Uranus, but studies are happening all the time. There are people all over the world studying Uranus right now. In fact, somebody you know might very well be fanatic about Uranus.

Nobody is quite sure what's inside Uranus. There is a lot of gas around Uranus, and there is much speculation about the kinds of gas inside Uranus. There is a lot of methane in Uranus. In fact, Uranus is constantly expelling methane, and producing more to make up for it. The atmosphere around Uranus probably smells a lot like methane. These gases make Uranus very flammable.

On a clear night, you can see Uranus without a telescope. Uranus is blue. Personally, I think Uranus is beautiful, but Uranus is very far away. In the future, we will all be able to see Uranus a lot better. Technology will effectively enlarge Uranus.

I am simply obsessed with Uranus, I tell people about Uranus all the time and they look at Uranus too. If you ever come to talk to me, you'll probably find that the moment you turn to leave, I will be looking at Uranus. Sometimes people criticize me for looking at Uranus too much. As long as you don't mind me studying Uranus, we can be good friends. Personally I don't find anything wrong with looking at Uranus. I think everyone should study Uranus a little.

As technology will soon enable people to visit Uranus. I would love to get closer to Uranus. People would need to wear a special suit to approach Uranus, but they would have to be careful - if they get too close, they could actually get sucked into Uranus. Nobody would ever find a person inside Uranus. And if their suit broke, the gases around Uranus could be very harmful.

Some people don't understand what's so important about Uranus. They think Uranus is nothing special. Some think Uranus is just full of crap. They don't realize that a lot of interesting and important discoveries have come out of Uranus. Studying Uranus has brought people closer together. One day, Uranus will get the attention it deserves. One day, Uranus will be on everybody's lips."

Rude Awakening

This morning, while I was pleasantly slumbering, dreaming about metal detecting, Ham Radio, Computers and other nerdy things, I was rudely awakened by my wife Amber, who while sleeping, was invaded by a baby spider which decided to crawl on her face. Instinctively, Amber swatted at the spider, but in her attempt to brush the spider off of her face ended up smacking me square in the back. Her attack didn't hurt, but it did wake me up.

I wasn't too happy.

Rejected Star Wars Product #3

OK.. I don't see why this idea was rejected by Pepsi and Lucasarts. It's a sunshade for your car. Who wouldn't want their car to look like it's being piloted by Han and Chewey.? That's all my pimped out ride needs to make it super nerdy is this shade. Well, that and a HAM radio antenna or five.
