Have a safe, and orderly Holiday from QT, Stewie, and me.

 …and here’s the proof! He’s the little Sandtrooper in training playing with the Dewback in this vintage toy commercial.
I knew there was a reason I always liked this guy.

It’s that time of year when every child sucks up to the fat guy in the red suit. No. Not THIS Fat Guy in a red suit… Santa Claus. Need some ideas for gifts for that special child, or SW geek? Look no further then this brilliant catalog of toys from mcmorran.org.
The race for my personal favorite is a close one, but the Planet Alderaan just barely nudges out the dead Ewok… Just barely. Had it been a squished Ewok with an AT-ST footprint on it, it would have won, but hey, bits of rock from a former Rebel stronghold? Priceless.
Yeah, I’m well aware that others have brought these up on their blogs already, but I post things when I’m damned good and ready, so deal.

On Starwars.com there’s a series called “How to Draw Star Wars” which is a great little deal for children… and those who wish to learn how to draw Star Wars stuff. I’m posting about the following link, not just because I think everyone can benefit from such lessons, or even because it’s an Imperial, but because of the website that decided to repost it.
TeamSugar is “the place for you to meet friends, discuss the latest gossip, share online shopping finds, dish on fashion, learn beauty secrets, swap delicious recipes, blog about your day and much, much more. There are currently 38,071 people online. ”
To me, the website appears to aimed at members of the fairer, and much more desirable sex. Women/Girls/Grrls. QT will undoubtedly fall in love with the place.
I guess the fact that such a website wants to show it’s members how to draw Biker Scouts just tickles me, so go check it out.

Just added a new TeeDee wallpaper that’s the companion piece to the QT-pi wallpaper from a few weeks ago.

You know, I’m dedicated to the cause. Always have been, always will be, but even I have to acknowledge that there are others out there that out-do me, and might even be taking their own dedication a bit too far. I’m talking about the masses of Star Wars inked out there. Shane Turgeon, creator of Tattoosandtoys.com, has a new book out celebrating those who celebrate the Saga in the most perminant fashion out there. By getting it tattooed on their hides.
The 208 page book looks to be an impressive, beautifully bound edition at 9×11 size, reigning supreme on anyone’s coffee table and guarenteeing to start some rather interesting conversations.
“Now why on Earth would anyone want to have a gangsta styled Jar Jar Binks tattoo??” is just one of the things you’d be certain to hear, trust me.
Tats aren’t my style, really, but there is one design I’m most likely going to get marked for life with, but it won’t be nearly as colorful or creative as the 400 photos you’ll see in this book. So, if you know someone with a SW tat, get ‘em this book.. Unless you’re cheap. Then just get them a tube of Vitamin A&D ointment.

I’ve noticed over the years that on your planet has had two major factions in sci-fi genre fandom. Star Wars fans, and Star Trek fans. I do tend to poke fun at the latter of these two groups, and who can blame me? It’s easy pickins! But…that being said, I must be fair and share this with you all.
This is something QT brought to my attention. I have no idea what the source is, but this is the quote, nonetheless….

As if the Wii isn’t rare enough already, Nintendo is releasing a special Star Wars limited edition Wii system. Or…this is just an elaborate hoax… Honestly, I have no idea, nor do I really care. That being said, yes, it looks way cool in black with red lights. Yes, that’s a great shot of the “man in Black” on the side of the unit. but the $15,000 price tag is 100% grade Z Bantha crap.
Okay… Yes, it was an eBay auction (the scurge of the galaxy as far as I’m concerned), but honestly. To even put up that price tag is a slap in the face of every fan of the saga, and therefore, a hefty junk-kick is in order.
Here’s a much more reasonable alternative for classing up your Wii.

The was a contest recently for model builders, both amatuer and professional alike. The theme? Wrecked Sci-Fi Models. Many are phenominal and some appeared to have missed the entire point of the theme, but the one that stands out is of course, the poor abandoned piece of Imperial Hardware.
The AT-AT model’s creator, professional model maker Dimitri Kaliviotis, is interviewed on Gizmodo, which also hosts many photos from this contest.Â
 Special mention goes to the Batmobile model, which a lot of complete morons are calling “Drunken Batman“, thus missing the joke entirely. I won’t tell you what it is though. You have to figure it out for yourself.
Bonus Points to the first person (not you, QT!) who tells me what the model represents.

With the elections coming up in 11 months or so, Polticians seem to be everywhere, promising the world. They all make me ill with these false promises, because nobody can give you the world, but there’s one guy who can easily take it from you.
If you’re smart, you’ll be voting for the “Man in Black”.
The fate of your world could really depend on it.
