Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Behold the plush Calvin and Hobbes dolls custom made by artist Lindsay Mays. Calvin is 7 inches tall and has yellow yarn hair. Hobbes is 14 inches tall.

Ears Can Bleed: Ewok Celebration Song Club Remix
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I promise I don’t hate you. But after you hear this new-wave/dance-pop (think: 1980s) club remix of the Ewok celebration song from Return of the Jedi, you might think I do.

Fashioned from copper, brass, antique pine and assorted lamp parts. This [...]

Because there should be at least one source of entertainment in your life that’s guaranteed not to be as disappointing as this year’s Super Bowl commercials. (Blech.) Yoda just said something mind-blowing to this kid. http://bit.ly/dyrbVU HAAA! Hello Kitty chainsaw. This makes me want [...]
Um, Not Really: Sexy Twi’lek LEGO Minifigs
Friday, February 5th, 2010Twi-leks are the designated sexpots of the Star Wars galaxy, yet there’s clearly something inherently wrong with the phrase “sexy Twi’lek LEGO minifigs.” And if you were uncomfortable reading that phrase, just think how I felt writing it.* These custom Star Wars LEGO minifigs come from Arealight Custom Work, who has more product shots on [...]
