An R2-D2 of My Very Own


I need to buy this: Voice-Activated R2-D2. Sure, it is a testament to how much of a geek I am, but it would be very cool to own.

    Duuuude. I have a friend with an unhealthy R2 obsession who would give his right nut for that. Seriously. He’d choose his own R2 over having both nuts.

    Me, I prefer to stay fully nutted.

    BTW, (and unrelated) re-installed WindowsXP – so far so good. Things are running smoothly. I’m waiting for that motherboard issue to raise it’s ugly head. Thanks again for coming over and I totally owe you bears or maybe a firstborn child.

    “Bears” should be “beers.” You got that, right?

    I don’t go around handing out bears to everyone who helps me out. That would be pretty cool though.

    Bears, beers, who’s being picky? In the end, things get messy either way–one ends in a gory death, the other ends in a hangover that feels like death. And I will gladly take the beers or the bears over the firstborn child. There is way too much work involved with that.

    As far as the compy is concerned, this is interesting. It’s definitely good news, though. There is another potential problem I will have to clue you in on under separate cover.

    That R2 unit is not the droid your looking for.

    Your Jedi mind tricks only work on the weak-minded, acw.

    Aha! So you’re the reason the hot chick working at Toys R Us looked at me funny while I was checking out with Star Wars stuff for my nephew.

    I felt tempted to say “Look honey, there’s no way this is for me, check out the size of my head–do you really think I could fit it in this Darth Helmet voice modulator?”
