Search Engine Terms: Gettin’ Erotic With Star Wars
[Search Engine Terms come from an app in the Word Press dashboard. It tells you the terms that people are using in google to lead to your site. Most of ours are ultra depraved and horrible. And amusing to sick people like me.]
Don’t pretend you haven’t.
Shogun Darth Vader Wins Cosplay. Forever.
I came across this today at Boing Boing. God damn. Cosplay always entertains me. Always. Whether it is a horror show, or a flawless victory, it’s bound to evoke some sort of emotion in me. I don’t think I often say a cosplay that lands within the Realm of Gray. No sir, it’s usually inciting laughter or awe.
Today? Today we have awe. Meet Shogun Vader.
LA Weekly:
Lam conceived Shogun Vader back in 2007 after reading about the samurai influence on Ralph McQuarrie’s conceptual designs for Star Wars. He chose the name because Shogun means “general.” In the few years since he began working on Shogun Vader, Lam has gone through three costume designs and is currently working on a fourth.
Really, the entire article is an awesome insight into Lam and his design process, and I urge you to check it out.

God damn, even though he’s a whiny puke and Aryan posterchild, Lukey goes far beyond the savior of the galaxy. It’s also a sexy dreamboat of barely-pubescent wunder.

Frak Luke Skywalker, Jek Porkins Saves The Galaxy

I’ve always felt for Porkins. If you can’t recall him immediately, he’s the fat bastard getting thrown all around his X-Wing in A New Hope. I’ve always speculated his ass was too heavy, and they hadn’t calibrated the shocks to meet his beluga-size donkey trunk. He died a forgotten man while that whiny puke Aryan posterchild Skywalker took all the acclaim.
Well fuck that noise! Now it appears some people are giving him the pop he deserves.
Long like Jek.

Darth Vader Robs A God Damn Bank, Using A Clumsy Weapon

No less than three-thousand people have pointed this out to me, and that can only mean one thing: in internet years, it’s a million-billion years old. Whatever, it’s still amazing.
This footage is from a bank in Long Island, and if I was getting robbed there, I hope I would have the respect to clap, if not at the least stand at attention and await my Force choking.
I have to admit that he didn’t use a more elegant weapon, for a more civilized age. Lord Vader, if you get caught, it’s on yourself for using such a clumsy and random weapon. You douche.
