Reader Submitted: May The Fourth Be With You

From Toady Nakamura. She was teaching a class on how to make a lightsaber in Second Life, and had a whimsical build next to her. I doubt there were and takers of the challenge offered in the stone.
     

Cartoon of the Day: Sci-fi Smashup

Taken at the Fantasy Faire on Star Wars Day. Why someone would appear with both a lightsaber from Star Wars and a "redshirt" Star Trek uniform, I never heard. But the imagination does come up with reasons.

May The Fourth Be With You

May 4 has been occasionally referred to as "Star Wars Day." This is from "May the Fourth be with you" being a pun of "May the Force be with you." And in a few places, people were in full or partial Star Wars looks. At the Fantasy Faire, this guy was wielding a lightsaber. Considering his outfit looks suspiciously like a Star Trek redshirt, be better be extra careful with that thing.

I still had a set of Stormtrooper armor I picked up at Luskwood a few years ago. It was a better fit for my rabbit avatar than I was expecting. One girl had a similar idea with her Rebel uniform, and well, we ended up dancing.

May the Fourth be with you.

Cartoon of the Day: Lightsaber Accidents Before Class

Taken at the VWBPE Keynote. Holstering a weapon on one's back can be tricky. When done with a sword or gun, it can be seen like cloth over it or poked through the clothes. But as a lightsaber can do damage just by touching, it this case it looks like it got shoved in, either by an enemy or a training accident. So why wouldn't it be removed? Memories of life in the education system made me think of one possible reason.

From Club Cutlass. Looks like Dark Helmet's Schwartz just ran out at a rather inconvenient time.

Cartoon of the Day

From the Happy Vixen. Among the Christmas decorations set up by Nydia was "Frisky the Snowman," who drops one cheesy pickup line after another. After a while, it started getting on the nerves of some of the girls, whom talked about creative ways of disposing of Frisky.
