I'll dress as your favourite movie character, and act in character all night if I get an invite.
Even the obscure 'British-TV school-soap-opera' actors, who get choked by Vader (just wait till the end of the night so I can pass out happy).
Hell, I'll dress as Princess Leia in her 'Jabba's Sail-barge' outfit, if that gets me through the door!

I'd just like to say that I, for one, really liked Vic Wertz before I even knew about the death star room. Enough to will him certain select items from my collection such as David Prowse's jock strap (autographed) and my videotape of a drunken John Dykstra circa 1984 doing The Centipede to Run-DMC.
"I'm light skinned, I'm livin' clean...
I love my chicken and my collard greens..."
And Vic doesn't know it, but I once saved his life in Sheboigen. He got into trouble with the Tongs.

Brah, you gossumpin sumpin on yer nose.
He's gonna get mad at the sycophants and shoot his t.v. like Elvis did, then where will we be?
So... in medieval beat poetry terms, I guess you're kinda saying...
The more we freaks doth entreat
He'll surely scoff and retreat
Buck! Buck!
Ain't a screen no more
A couple thousand mo' bucks
To get that b*^ch restored
Neo-dark Elvis,
Leave him be
It hurts worse
When it hurts Wertz
Just be our friend
And stay the man
And please don't blow up Alderan

Yeah, but when I told him, "wait a sec' I have to go in the bathroom and when I come back out you can have it," he said he no wanty no more.
Free and clear, bay-bee! One question. Um... were there horn holes punched through them? Don't know if the 'as above so below/carpet matching the drapes' thing applies to his race.

Invite me, and I'll promise NOT to dress like Princess Leia.
Can I just stick some sticky buns on the side of my head and act all..."holographic" and stuff?
Seriously....very cool home theater, Vic. It must be tough fending off all the people who want to come to your house to watch movies.
The only thing is...I guess waking up on Saturday morning, scratching your butt, throwing on a bathrobe and stumbling out into the house with a cup of coffee to watch the morning news would be kind of awkward...with encased Harrison Ford watching you and all....(plus, you wouldn't want to get ass hairs on the seats in the Death Star)

BTW, you ain't related to Mara Jade, is you?
I saw the lady Morgan Webb on that video game review show, she goes, "Oh, Wikipedia; is there ANYTHING you don't know?"
I'd be a lost innyvijul without Wikipedia.

You can see it here. (Don't miss the links on the top of the page.)

All this time, I've been arguing that there isn't a big margin on rpgs and that it's not as if the item packs are randomly distributed so that the evil employees of Paizo can laugh all the way to the bank...
...only to be proven dramatically wrong. ;-)

Not everyone. I live in a house with 7 other people, and between us, we still don't have cable. : P

Reminds me of a Monty Python's Flying Circus skit where everyone was outdoing each other with hard luck stories about their youth. I think Cleese capped it with something about how he and his siblings lived in a shoebox and their father would come home every night and kill them.

That doesn't work....I told my 13 year old how I used to cut grass, pick up trash and clean pools to make money when I was 13 and she just gives me a spock like one eyebrow raised look and smiles with the $5200 worth of braces we just bought.......there's my home theater, LOL.
It's okay, I told her she was going to get a +2 circumstance bonus to future CHA related skill checks and she said "you're such a dork!" Ahhhh....teenagers....(oh, wait, she's right!!!)

Five grand, a small price to pay to ensure her smile doesn't look like a box of peppermint Chicklets. I'm not sure kids comprehend what a great gift a trip to ortho really is. My mother must have thought a unique smile gave me character.
I remember working chores all week long for a buck. I was really happy to have that buck. A year later I moved in with a family friend and he gave me $20 a week for absolutely nothing. I just kept saving it up until I could buy expensive martial arts gear from Chinatown in NYC. I think that equipment, and comic books, are all I spent my money on when I was 13-15. 16 brought that first steady girlfriend and from then on there would be no gear and comics. Well, not for ME anyway. ;)

When I was a kid, I had to make a Death Star out of a potato and some aluminum foil.
OH MY GOD! Sometimes you read a post that just strikes the right nerve at the right time. THIS IS HILARIOUS!
This is killing me! I cant help but see a 6 year old Heathansson (a werewolf in a beanie)wrapping a potato in aluminum foil and pretending to shoot lazers with it. Right after he finishes his snack of lead-based paint chips.
Dude, its supposed to be spherical! Why didn't you just use a softball or something! You totally failed 'shape' in preschool didn't you?
A potato?! I guess the Empire really went bargain basement in hiring out its contractors back. I can just see Darth Vader force-choking the life out of some stoned guy wearing a hardhat.
Thank You Heathansson. Thank you. This post totally made my day. Oh, thank you.

I've had red potatoes so round you could roll them without wobbling. As an amateur tatologist I find myself often testing the physical characteristics and limitations of various kinds of tubers before making them dissappear.
My guess is that lil woflie didn't use an Idaho russet, but even if he did, some of them at least come oblate spheroid.
I wonder if he ever *blew up his death star?
*threw it against a brick wall

I know, hindsight and all, but at the time, I had just seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind: "this...means something..."
I was in my potato sculpture period.

So I wasn't the only one who after seeing "A New Hope"
(back when it was just "Star Wars") begged his mother to let him put blue food coloring in his milk from now on????
At least your mother didn't do it. My mom was quick to turn my soy milk into a Tatooiney treat that stained my lips and made people think I suffered from bad circulation to the head. Furthermore, on St. Patty's day in Boston, 1977, she made green scrambled eggs that looked like Hulk brains. She wasn't Irish but hey, any excuse to make the food look even weirder than it tasted, right?

So you're saying that perhaps people didn't come to that conclusion because of my blue lips? What else could it have been? My public bedwetting? (ambitious getting the bed out there on the curb though, eh?)

Sure, David Blaine does it in a giant ice cube and he's a "magician."

Potato rant of the day:
So the party is finally umpty-twelveteenth level, and they're tracking the tarrasque. What are you going to plunk down on the table as a mini to represent tarrasque leavings? How about a baked potato still steaming hot from the oven?
The ranger boldly strides up to it and knowlingly announces, "the tarrasque has been here. I've found his spoor." As if the downed trees and 20' long footprints scattered here and there aren't a dead giveaway.
Hey, Idaho! Where's my freakin' endorsement fee!

You think that's bad... My mother had a brain-shaped jello mould. She used to mix whipped cream into pink jello so it was nice and opaque.
To this day I think she's perfecting her recipe for gray jello.
