Have you been reading my Facebook staus? Bacon scented candle is evil torture!! But has 0 calories...
Nope, I don't bother with Facebook. (Although I might if and when I ever get a new computer since a lot of competitions are run through that system). I was just referring to your comment before about bacon wallets. There's apparently a bit of bacon stuff on ThinkGeek.com ... they like it too. One of their emails said something like "There's nothing that can't be improved by adding {can't recall} or bacon." I can't remember what the first thing was, I think it was something sweet like ice cream.
This weeks email was straight into the bacon ... There was also a few new Star wars items ... Star Wars Rebel Pilot Headphones Luke doesn't like listening to Yoda. Did he really want to get into his X-Wing and fly to Cloud City to rescue his friends? Or, did he just want to slip his Rebel Pilot Headphones back on and cruise to the jams of the hit Max Rebo/Modal Nodes blockbuster? Well, we're not sure, but we do know that the infrasound bass line of "Chubba Wonka Plop" (the aforementioned hit) is killer--as is the sound production of these Rebel Pilot Headphones. Sure, they won't produce infrasound without an X-Wing's sound adaptor, but they look and sound like a million credits. More details Star Wars Celebration V exclusive items!

Luckily for us, Wu Kee Smith speaks Wookiee fluently and will show you the basics of the language so you can keep your life and limbs when exploring the galaxy. This book is a primer on the Wookiee language and includes a sound board with recordings of real Wookiees, so you can learn from native speakers.

WITH A BASEBALL BAAAAAT! Oh my gosh... such carnage... why? WHY?" Wouldn't you like to know after an afternoon of building a fun electrical project whether your child will grow up to be evil? Sure you would, which is why we're bringing you the ultimate truth-telling device, the Mini Lightsaber Dark Side Detector. Sure, your wee geek will learn all sorts of nifty things about electricity and science, but the important part is at the very end.
