BeerTooD2 The Ultimate Star Wars Party Necessity
After several mugs of liquid inspiration while viewing StarWars for the umpteenth time BeertooD2 was born… or should I say drafted? His 4.7 liter keg body, chrome tractor headlight dome, vintage shoe polisher legs and mini bread loaf pan feet have proven popular with the over-21 crowd…may the force beer with you.
R2-D2 Humilated Again, Turned Into A Trashcan
Ever since the shiny silver & blue droid was introduced everybody has always jokingly referred to the little guy as a trashcan. Over the years R2-D2 has been made into all kinds of gadgets and gizmos. Recently a disturbing trend has emerged. It seems the R2-D2 has fallen out of the good graces of gadget designers and he’s being used for all sorts of humiliating things like a Soy Sauce bottle and now a R2-D2 trashcan. Really, has this not shown up before now in all these years? Can you imagine the original thinking it must have took to dream this one up? If your a Star Wars fanatic you gotta have this one.
I warn you though, this is one expensive trashcan. ThinkGeek has the R2-D2 Trashcan on sale for $99 (regular price $149). Damn, for that price it should pick the trash up for you and take it out.

R2-D2 Humiliated, Maybe Committed Suicide
Remember a while back we told you about the plot by the Empire to assassinate R2-D2? I always wondered why the droid would volunteer to take a ride on the maiden voyage of an X-wing built by a bunch of crazy rocketeers. After seeing this I know why. Everybody’s favorite droid had to be so humiliated that he probably tipped off the Empire to the launch of the experimental rocket. I can’t say that I blame him, if someone tried to get me into a Soy Sauce bottle I’d probably want to die in a flaming ball of fire too.

R2 comes complete with a DLP projector, DVD player, iPod docking station, two 20-watt speakers, memory card slots and USB port, an LED message center, a Millennium Falcon remote control and the little bastard can even follow you around the house. No Joke!
R2-D2 Gets A New Gig
Check it out. Looks like the US Postal Service is looking to take advantage of the Star Wars trade. They will bee rolling out new mailboxes at local post offices. I wonder how many of these will end up smashed under some Darth Vader’s 4×4 or in some Star Wars freaks bedroom.
They’re not going to fool anyone into thinking it’s an actual astromech droid ready to deliver your postcard to Obi-Wan but they get the idea across. And I think it’s a good idea these will only be appearing at US Post Offices since if they were installed on the streets something tells me they wouldn’t be around for long.
