The tape dispenser! Oh God! I must have it.

I actually have an mp3 of that wookie song at home.

Sadly enough, this seems to be the best part of his site.

I don't understand the awfulness rating - * is a German teacher (presumably a teacher of the language, rather than a teacher from Germany) and ***** is John Wayne?

And, yes, tape dispenser please.

I have that song too. It is truly awful.

Bonus: photos of my gingerbread star destroyer from a couple years ago. I made it for a holiday party at which the Star Wars Holiday Special was played.

Ok, that gingerbread star destroyer is damn impressive.

When I was a little kid I always said that someday I would have my own Star Destroyer. I have not totally given up on the idea yet.

Y'all back off! That's my tape dispenser you're all drooling over.

Oh, and the gingerbread Star Destroyer is totally awesome.

Funny you should post this. Just today I got a package from my best friend--it's a snow globe and inside is Darth Vader making a giant snowball that looks like the Death Star. It is the awesomest thing I have ever seen and if my house were to catch fire, the one inanimate object I would save.

Oh and Me3, you are a genius.

I saw a jumbo inflatable polyurethane snow globe today with bits of foam packing peanuts being blown around in it. It was very weird and I wish I had gotten a picture.

I missed out on a great opportunity about 16 years ago. I was in charge of cleaning out the loads of stuff that accumulated in the loft of one of our stores. I came across original Star Wars shampoos, body washes, soaps, etc. We made them cheap at a "yard sale" in front of the store. I thought about buying some, but never did. Nuts.
