  1. I work at circuit city. Red Circuit City Shirt, Black Pants, Black Shoes, Clean Haircuts.
  2. Yeah but unlike Jar-Jar, Ziro is probably dead.
  3. I can't stand Jar-Jar, but while watching the movie i can honestly say there isn't a main character, an Important Character or anyone notable enough to have a repeat appearance in this release that is as annoying as Jar Jar.
  4. Best Wishes and Thoughts to your wife and yourself.
  5. Sadly i don't think the guy was in on it, looking at the collection he has, and how much time and effort was spent on the display and collection, i'd say he's a guy that knows the value of his goods and totally would not be cool with that.
  6. Ten Things not to mess with and why, Writen by Me. 1. Collectables, be they baseball cards or Star Wars, that pointless cheap looking object could very well buy you that ring, so don't destroy it. 2. The Car, it may look like crap but we'll still insist it's a diamond in the rough. 3. Our Hobbies, if you wreck that we'll make you miserable through sheer boredom. 4. The Computer, yeah we spend a lot of time on it but if you took it away, that "me time" you were planning on having? yeah... kiss it goodbye. 5. The Tools, ok i know i bought the table saw last year and still have not used it yet, but i've got plans! 6. My Stormtrooper Armor, just don't even THINK about it. 7. Our Ratty Looking Clothes, ok so the jeans are starting to wear a hole in the crotch and the image on the shirt is faded and sports holes in places like the arm pit and belly, Throwing that stuff away is like us throwing away your old purse, it looks and smells funny, but damn it's got memories. 8. The TV, because you'll miss oprah and dr. phil too... 9. The Bathroom, i don't know about you, but i don't want to "go" in some place that makes me feel like i'm using Jane Austen's bathroom... and whats with that potpourri doll?!?! 10. Our Friends, ok so their obnoxious, so that one guy always clogs the toilet, so that guy always makes a pass at your friends, you're the one who said i needed to bond more with your father.
  7. 1) How long have you been a fan of Star Wars? Since 5 years old. 2) What first made you a fan of the franchise/ The Movies played a huge role, but honestly it was disneyland that did it for me, back when they had the X-wing hanging inside the star tours shop with the Stormtrooper and Vader looking down at the people, it was exciting stuff as a kid, plus all the toys too. 3) What got you into costuming? I've always been interested in costuming i just never knew the magnitude of the the fan base behind costuming, it was like stepping back into disneyland again, what got me into star wars costuming would probably be both the impressive display the 501st showed everybody at C4. 4) What function does the Internet play in being a fan? Really the internet helped broaden communication between fans from anything as small as local city/county groups to state wide and international.
  8. the way they describe the product it sounds like the cooling packs press against the body and not the outside so i'd assume the exterior is dry, however i sent an email just in case. if it's not that could be modified to stay dry.
  9. Yeah, I've been to Woodinville before, not much heat there lol. but yeah the temperature this weekend was scorching, i think we went through well over 70 bottles of water in a day, i also just recently found the inner gel used to make these vests and figured I'd try my luck at making an ab / kidney plate garter belt or something, but i think the chest piece alone is worth it.
  10. Well i just had an event this weekend that went well, while my armor is still in a box at home waiting on a helmet, most of the TK's around me were baking up a storm in their armor. Nobody got into armor until around 6:00 or so, which at that point the temperature was already 100.9 °F / 38.3 °C, and stayed in armor till around 9:00 where the temperature dropped down to 82.9 °F / 28.3 °C, Well meanwhile someone brought these Gel packed neckbands that have been soaking in a cooler, just placing them around our necks cooled us down quite a bit and stayed cool for around an hour or two hours depending on if you're out in the sun or under an easy up. Well i did some research on the product and found a vest version The Cool Vest Lite ------------ of all the versions i found i thought this one was the best because the straps might just be concealable enough so it does not stick out in the wrong areas, plus it comes in white so it may blend in with armor if worn over a Lycra Dive Skin. Apparently it maintains a constant 62 °F / 16.6 °C and stays cool for 1.5 - 2 Hours weighs aprox 3.8 pounds and has Adjustable sizes from SM, M, L, XL, and i'm more than sure we're smart enough to rig one to fit XXL+ best part in my opinion is that it only takes 20 minutes to re-cool in ice cold water.
  11. Shhh!!! You'll expose his Identity... Yeah i feel you man, the printing Industry is taking a huge hit right now due to the high gas prices too. It stinks, i'm still looking for work.
  12. I'm green with Envy! I've been doing the same thing too selling stuff i don't use or need, all i need to do is sell my wow account and i'm set lol. Love to see pictures when it's done!
  13. Rest up and Recover... Some one was watching over you that day. I lost my dad in a motorcycle accident, please folks, drive safe.
  14. whats up with the holsters... i keep seeing White Holsters... some commanders have black ones, and other sources have white...
  15. after reading the toy package it sounds like the "FU" Stormtroopers are more of a special unit rather than the Standard Issue Stormtrooper. Even though the toys are holding E-11 like blasters, it says the "Incinerator Trooper" wield powerful plasma rifles to set enemies ablaze, when deployed to a forest world like Kashyyyk, a small squadron of Incinerator Troopers can level an entire wookie village in a matter of hours, Vader and the Incinerator Troopers are sent in whenever an example needs to be made of anyone who dares question the ultimate authority of the Empire. honestly, it sounds like TX Designation, the Armor Markings and Special Weapons and Specific Function of the Trooper is very TX. i wish the game came out on PC, i can't stand console systems... so i can't get a screen cap.
  16. My only guess is that the Troops left on Felusia or whatever that planets name is, kept up with the tradition of painting armor to signify rank as well as specialty. This whole sequence of events i guess happens between EP-III and EP-IV The red could be a Shocktrooper but honestly how Commander goes from Yellow to Blue, then to Orange, i don't know... but the break down in color rank through history is Clone Trooper * White—Private (standard trooper). * Olive green—Sergeant; commanded squads made up of nine troops. * Blue—Lieutenant; commanded platoons made up of four squads (36 troops). * Red—Captain; commanded companies made up of four platoons (144 troops). * Yellow—Commander; commanded regiments made up of four battalions (2,304 troops). With the development and distribution of Phase II clone trooper armor, clone troopers no longer used color markings to denote rank. Instead, color patterns on troop armor signified legion designation and position. ARC Trooper * Green—Sergeant * Blue—Lieutenant * Red—Captain * Yellow—Commander EP-4-5-6 * Black - Enlisted * White - Sergeant * Orange - Squad Leader * Blue - Sniper * Red - Medic * Yellow - Rifleman As far as how Commander Yellow, Turns into Commander blue, and Turns into Squad Leader Orange... I have no idea, it's possible with changes in how squads and platoons are structured that some of the rank color codes were droped and or altered. i do know that the standard Army squad consisted of eight soldiers and a sergeant, and theres usually 45 men per squad which comes close to the number of men a Blue Color Code trooper would wear which means he has 35 men under his command... just a thought, i have no real proof except the numbers i find on info pages from sources like wikipedia, the rest is just speculation and hypothesis. Honestly the only way this is ever going to get solved is when we see some kind of story line emerge from a book or some type of game manual for the "FU" RPG... aka, it's gonna take time...
  17. I gave blood the other day... that was less painful than filling up for gas.
  18. wow wow great work, you're worth your weight in gold!
  19. I'd like to think of this variation of TK as the "Pimp my TK" Series Personally if i were to do something other than white, it would be black... but hey if someone wants to custom paint their stuff to look like this "FU" stuff, i say go for it, but Mini Spinners in your thermal detonator's caps is going to far.
  20. Yeah workin on elite status but uh... hit a road block... can't find a dang helmet...
  21. i drive a 1966 vw bus, i don't even wanna post my mpg here. however http://www.aptera.com/ 100 mpg... goofy lookin as all hell but we wear equally funny looking stuff so i can't complain.
