I once spent an extraordinary amount of time trying to find damar in it’s natural gum form. Still better than making rabbit size from scratch.

It’s called Aurebesh, the symbolic/language of the Star Wars universe. It reads: “R2D2″

And no, he didn’t have that on him. A nice decorative touch though.

@awjt:disqus i suspect there is more than one malware author that would love to replicate that feat ;)

Yeah, well, when a woman-looking-person walks up to a man and asks him if he’d like to see her hairy wookiee, he has to really think hard on the possibility that something isn’t what he expects…

I used “Do you want to see my hairy wookiee?” as a line on my first date. She and I went to see Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Special Edition… It obviously didn’t work, but didn’t get me slapped and the rest of the evening was pleasant enough. As a high school student I didn’t really expect it to work either.

Why no comment on the katakana on her right rear? R2D2 did not have that. Looks like ‘hukoutakou’ but I get nothing in my Japanese dictionary.

I’m certain that someone has already done the math calculating the bandwidth of the average human male ejaculation…

Compression and self-replication, with adaptation. Pretty slick.

"OH!!! R2!!! As an equal-opportunity dirty old man, I'd just like to say I'd hit it, and I don't care if it's a dude or a chick! So there! XD

Arrgh! You realize that now I’m going to have to start working that line into as many of my conversations as possible?

“Well, Frank, I applaud your incentive, but in all honesty, the whole thing strikes me as a compendium of greasy peccadilloes.

Or maybe, “Yes, thank you. I’d like the multi-grain pancakes with a side compendium of greasy peccadilloes.”

I don’t know, why don’t you try making something other than bad points about trumped up unneccesary faux outrage. Maybe you’d make the front page.

I agree. that iconic representation inspires me to reproduce.

No? But you might have made it to the 'cycling shorts' page of wikipedia.

I don’t understand why BoingBoing chose not to publish the photos of me in my homemade Death Star Garbage Monster shorts.

I never got this reaction when I showed people my chewbacca underwear set…

Yeah. And if a guy made them and wore them and shot them in the same pose, BB would’ve posted those photos instead.

Right?

Tron Guy, is it you?
At least you didn’t dare to have much sex appeal.
