EPBOT: Cinderella, R2D2, and Tasha Yar
Fuck Yeah Tarot Decks is a tumblr dedicated to the resurgence of interest—tinged as it is in irony and self-reflection—in divinatory decks and the many awesome franchises and tropes they can be adapted to. The amazing thing you see above? $1 at Dollar Tree. [via Metafilter]
Forthcoming game No Mans Sky promises players the experience of exploring a nigh-infinite universe of beautiful, dreamlike worlds. But its fans are far from serene. When a journalist reported a development delay, he was sent death threats–a black hole of rage that expanded to the game’s creators when they confirmed the news.
The Guardian featured essays by UK punks who made the scene when it first emerged in the late 1970s. Above, Terry Chimes, 59, original drummer for The Clash, now a chiropractor. “I just wanted to be in a band, and this was the most exciting band I could find,” he writes. “Everyone else in The […]

I was there. That’s Denise Crosby in the upper left, FYI.
I would have never guessed that was Crosby. God I feel old.
Three deaths will age a Tasha Yar.
So, the new meme is:
“Cinderella/R2D2 chaser please”.
It’s like the listening dogs from the earlier post, except with droids.
Who Denise Crosby?
Denise Crosby is the heir to the Crosby’s Molasses fortune. She is taking advantage of the special place that comic-book geeks hold in their hearts for sweet, sweet molasses.
Sweet ’tis true….
…but molasses, it ain’t.
That last little number is dedicated to the memory of Lt. Tasha Yar, and goes to all those ships out at sea tonight.
R2 units are good in a pinch, when you can’t find a greyhound.
Are you sure R2 wasn’t holograming the whole scene?
Yeah, it looks like a tiny hologrammatic rendering of a princess reading to me too. Maybe Leia made some audiobooks to while away the time between diplomatic engagements in space.
Translated: “Read it to me, Cinderella; you’re my only hope!”
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. I’ve lost a shoe.
My brother was operating R2-D2 by remote control on this occasion. To eight-year-old me, he was the coolest big brother ever.
How did the get that gig? Was Anthony Daniels in the 3PO suit?
He was a receptionist for The Star Wars Corporation back in the day, before it got absorbed into Lucasfilm. I’ll have to ask him if he asked for that gig, or whether the brass just said, “Hey Mick, whaddaya doin’ on Sunday night? Know how to handle a joystick?”
As for 3PO, I don’t know for sure if it’s Anthony Daniels in there, but I can’t think of any reason why it wouldn’t be. Would he have had something better to do that evening? I’ll ask my brother, see if he remembers.
I like how C-3PO’s rockin’ the black tie. He was made for formal occasions!
Reminds me of “Robbie”, the first short-story in “I, Robot” by Asimov.
“Aren’t you a little short for a princess?”
Hey, it’s that bleepy robot from Episode I !
Yes, Virginia – the Force is REAL!
OMG – that is too damn cute.
