R2D2 trashcan

No info on this unsourced photo of a R2D2 trashcan (might you have some?) -- but suffice to say, this is the droid I'm looking for.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I used to be stationed near Yongsang Garrison in South Korea. Outside the PX on post there is a mail box painted to look like r2d2. Wish I had a pic, its very reminiscent of this.

This was from reddit two days ago (where else does neatorama get their content?)

Maybe they know something about this, if you’re really serious in tracking it down…

Hellz, yeah! I have an R2D2 Droid 2 cell phone. It’s a lotta fun. Especially the “warp speed.” :)

Still need to get that R2D2 bathing suit!!

It was already a gonk droid, so you could say it had model reassignment surgery.

That site http://www.arngren.net/ Rob posted earlier appears to have your R2D2 stuff. ;-)
