May the Schwartz Be With You

For those of you who do not know...my husband is a complete, total, utter, unquestionable, self-professed Star Wars nerd. He has seen Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope) over 300 times, he incessantly quotes the movies, our dog's name was Yoda, and I secretly think that he married me solely because my brother is (honestly) named after Luke Skywalker.

Anyway, after buying our new house, we thought it would be sweet to buy each other house warming gifts. Joe is buying me a set of All Clad pots/pans. Joe opted for something a bit less practical. Keep in mind that we already own THREE authentic autographed lightsabers PLUS an autographed thermal detonator, not to mention several framed posters. Now we are the "proud" owners of not one but TWO autographed life size Star Wars helmets. Darth Vader and Boba Fett. And I'll bet he'll want the Stormtrooper helmet for Christmas.

So what should have been a happy moment for Joe trying on the Darth Vader helmet only had me thinking of one thing...Rick Moranis from Spaceballs. The helmet is comically big on Joe as you can see in the picture. Joe says "at least it looks slimming". I was not able to convince him to take a picture with the Boba Fett helmet on as well.


The only way that he would allow for me to post the above picture is if I posed as well. Joe understands the grief that he will get from putting his picture on the blog. (P.S. for Curt: these pictures are not authorized for duplication under "all night call" penalty for ALL residents).
