So, yesterday a buddy of mine alerted me to this great product on ThinkGeek.com. It was an R2-D2 pepper mill for grinding your own fresh pepper as seen here-

Now I was pretty excited because it sells for $20 and the other products from Japan like the R2 Soy Sauce deal for $40 and the R2 garbage can for $100 were too expensive to get by the wife. :wink:

So, I decide to explore the site a little to find THIS-

WOW, I am thinking this is the most amazing (yet creepy) star wars product I have ever seen. The lightsaber zipper actually GLOWS and they are selling for $39.99. All I can think is SOLD! How in the world do I get the wife to NOT see the intenstine artwork on the inside of the bag and let me get one??? I immediately send a pic to my wife hoping she will let me get one for the boy. Here is her response-

Ah can you feel the love? LOL

So, I am dejected, but then today find out the sleeping bag was all an April Fool's joke. Well, the joke is on them because now they are saying that the response was so huge they are currently trying to figure out how to make this thing a reality.

these are both real...
you should try a search of Japan's SW products for the home-

soy sauce containers-
jabba the Hutt costumes (it's mor disturbing than the Taun taun Sleeper)
Lightsaber Slicer/Toaster knives; it actually has a speaker to "Hummm" like a real saber & runs on like 12 AA batteries


odd and ostentatious

Well, since they have to go through a whole long list of approvals to do something like this in mass quantities, Lady H said she'll make 2 of them herself, one for me and one for her. :) :)
