Chris: Remember, tell your wife we all said "Live Long and Prosper". Hehehehe.
Oh, and thanks for the link to the vacuforming page. Good grief, I don't want one of those costumes that bad. That's a butt-load of work!! I am wondering if I could make Vader's shoulder and chest plates out of bondo or something. This is when I get myself into trouble- costuming. A few years back, I made Emma a Buzz Lightyear costume complete with pop-out wings and arm laser. The wings were supposed to be motorized, so they could open up at the press of a button on her chest. Of course, all of that went to pot when I couldn't get the motors to work right, so it all ended up being manual. I spent at least 100 hours on that costume, only to come in third at the Zoo Boo costume contest (a store-bought friggin Pikachu won first place- I thought I was going to cry.)

Crap!! Pikachu?!?!?!  I hate Pokemon! I'd love to see Tusken Raiders shoot some of those little freaks!!  Buzz is much cooler.
Man, that family reunion story is pretty gross. With the Deliverance family i'd be afraid of having to "squeal like a pig." Sorry, bad joke.
Here's the writing on Vader's chestplate that Rhonda was talking about. Pretty cool stuff!!

My, Chris, are you laden with information tonight!! Thanks for the link!! Now, I need a closer picture and a book on how to write in Hebrew so I can be faithful in my reproduction of the chestplate. I think I'll try and make mine translate into "He'll take a #6 combo. Supersize it."
I also am going to need some extreme superlifts to make me taller. What I have in mind is on the verge of being Herman Munster-ific. 8" thick Soles!! Aaarrrgh. I'll be the "Clumsy-falling-on-my-butt" version of Darth Vader. And I'll still be a couple of inches shorter than David Prowse!!
And you're right about my family reunion. If someone had ever mentioned taking a boat trip, I would've run screaming from the place!!!
OK, I gotta go to bed. I really do not want to go to work tomorrow.
Goodnight!

hey guys whats up. I really enjoyed that yesterday. The food was excellent, the decor devine, and the entertainment was very entertaining  . Costume party would be cool, I just need a costume. maybe I can go as a fanboy, or a clone of myself and spell my name Tiim. Chris you and Jeremy did a great Job with the grilling, and Steve the Pez was awesome. Thanks very much.
Man I've looked at that vaccum forming and to me that is just too much trouble. Especially if you where only doing it to build one costume. I'd much rather just pay a little more money and have some one else do it. Guess I'm just lazy.
Hey check out this link http://www.wcug.wwu.edu/~paradox/downloads.html
you can download the game Sabacc for windows. It also has some cool Star Wars fonts.

Yeah, Tiim...the decor was pretty cool. I've got to get one of those Vader Helmet Centerpieces for our dining room. So, Chris, you got that at Pier 1 right?

I don't know about you Chris, but I'd hate to be in a bed, or take a bath with a bantha.  *shivers*

Hey, I bought "Traitor" today. Gonna try and catch up!
Has anybody read the "Infinities" SW comic for ANH? I read it at the bookstore today, and it was pretty neat. Kinda like an alternate story of ANH. I'm gonna see if I can find more of those.

I have issue # 2,3, &4 of the ANH infinities. There is also suppose to be an Empire strikes back one, but I haven't found it yet.
If you are a fett fan at all you'll want to check out the openseasons storyline. Its four issues about jango's origons and the end of the Mandalores.

Hmmm, I didn't know there was more than one!! Man, I've gotta get those. One of my favorite comic books was the "What If..." series by Marvel. It's the same thing!! Sweet!!
