Father/kid Tauntaun costume

Here's Kitt and his delightful progeny cleverly disguised as a tauntaun and Han Solo on the frozen ice-world of Hoth: "His tauntaun even had removable guts to warm your hands with."

Happy House Warming, Kitt! (via Super Punch)

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.

Why is James Spader dressed as a bunny and carrying a baby on his back? I had a nightmare about this once.

“how did a man who is that excited about a tauntaun suit ever manage to accomplish the preliminary steps to having children?” is the real newsworthy question here

  Improvising. There’s more than one way to stay warm on Hoth.

That just gave me an idea: I’m going to dress up my pet kangaroo as a tauntaun and her kid as Luke.

Where’s the guts? And why isn’t the kid inside his dad?

And I thought they smelled bad *deep breath* on the outside!
