hell’s paving stones

Vincent says:

And the special sounds just like the Simpsons Variety Hour.

Scott says:

which in turn was based off the Sonny and Cher show.

Scott says:

and the Donny and Marie Show

Scott says:

and the Partridge Family Variety show.

Vincent says:

I thought it was targeting the Brady Bunch hour?

Scott says:

and that.

Scott says:

people sure were unoriginal in the 70s.

(short discussion ensued about the eventual fate of several cast members from Diff’rent Strokes)

Scott says:

hey, back to Star Wars for a second, out of these two toys, which would you buy?

Vincent says:

I love these questions

Scott says:

the colour-changing Anakin lightsaber or…

Scott says:

the Darth Vader helmet that changes your voice?

Vincent says:

helmet

Scott says:

i want to buy one of them, but i’m thinking that if i buy the helmet, it won’t fit.

Vincent says:

hands down the helmet. cut off your ears if it doesn’t fit.

Scott says:

Scott says:

but look at it, it’s tiny.

Scott says:

that thing wouldn’t fit over my FIST, let alone my head.

Scott says:

i’ll probably still buy it though.

Vincent says:

you can’t tell how large it is.

Scott says:

yeah, but i’ve seen it in real life too, and it looks pretty small.

Vincent says:

ages 9+. if it doesn’t fit you, sue them and make your own helmet made to measure.

Scott says:

just pull the damn voice changer out, and use it at my leisure.

Scott says:

target is 15% off storewide today. i hope they’ve got stock

Vincent says:

does it make you wheeze? That’s important.

Scott says:

apparently it comes with some pre-recorded phrases.

Scott says:

according to the box, one of the pre-recorded phrases is “Darth Vader Breathing Sounds”…

Vincent says:

hmm.

Vincent says:

But it definitely changes your voice?

Scott says:

so it says.

Vincent says:

so it says

Scott says:

whether it makes you sound like James Earl Jones is another matter.

Scott says:

it comes with the funny chest plate too.

Vincent says:

Now all you need is the leather jumpsuit. There’s this place on Hoddle street…

Scott says:

drum snare

Vincent says:

Can you imagine the terror that little 8 year-old kids are going to inspire in these things? They’re gonna wear these things to school for sure.

Scott says:

according to review, the helmet splits into two pieces, making it relatively easy for adults to wear.

Scott says:

even though it’s marketed at kids, we all know it’s adults that are going to buy the thing.

Vincent says:

Hasbro, you cunning bastards!

Scott says:

i think i’ve pretty much talked myself into buying it.

Vincent says:

Case closed. How much are they?

Scott says:

crap.

Scott says:

like 99.00

Scott says:

which is odd, considering they’re 24.99USD, which shouldn’t even be $45AUD.

Vincent says:

Fucking fucked up.

Scott says:

i wonder what kind of deal i can get on ebay.
