Auditions for the part of a black cat in "Tales Of Terror", Hollywood, 1961.

Get those white-tips out of there.

Lots of incontinent women.

[Chimpy]

The only time I ever tried to put a leash on a cat ended in it flying around like the Tasmanian devil from looney tunes. That many calm cats on leashes scares me.

[Jade Falcon]

All the ankle high skirts seem to be eyeballing that one in the form fitting knee high skirt.Interesting what was passing as risque back then.

[NowhereMan]

I think they're all starting at her pussy.

[Shannow]

Not sure if that typo is intentional or not but it's hilarious. 

[Khaldun]

No foreplay, eh?

[Tale]

Today the shorts are higher and the cats evolved.

Alderaan is peaceful! We have no weapons!

By your powers combined, I am Captain Telescope!

We all have different definitions of Awesome. Today, this is mine, but I'll spoiler it for the haters.

[RhyssaFireheart]

If that's your acceptance letter, Merusk, then congrats!  Awesome indeed!

[Teleku]

And exactly what sort of 'deeds' did you have to perform for the empire to gain acceptance?  HMMMM?

[Segoris]

Probably had to offer his first born and that couch. Seriously, that couch looks way too comfortable

[Merusk]

That is indeed my letter. Thanks! First official "Troop" is an autism event this weekend, hooray.

The Deeds we shan't speak of but many dollars died to bring me this far. And hours.. and probably some lung matter because the glue you use isn't good for you and I didn't wear a mask 100% of the time. Well, that and a sacrifice of your inability to see accuracy errors on lower-end costumes. Hobbies like this make you a critic really quick, and even on my suit all I can see are flaws to be adjusted now. Hah.

The couch is incredibly comfortable. It's at Macy's furniture, it's the Elliot collection. The Couch and Loveseat were $1,600 last August. The best part is they're not the overstuffed type with the cushions sewn to the back like so many couches were. I've seen too many of those rip open at the seam, so separate pillows or a one-piece back were requirements.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and just assume they all are.

And I'm going to call you an asshole. Asshole.

[TheWalrus]

Yeah. Way to shit on a cool thing, man. Those guys do a lot for kids, and all you can do is be an utter fucksicle about it. Good show.

[Abagadro]

Is there a German word for simultaneously laughing about something someone said and also thinking they are an asshole because they said it?

[Miguel]

I believe it's Dashlich.

[Merusk]

Heh, I was just going to let it go with a, "Yep, asshole," mental tick. Makes me feel good to see others understand it's not just geeks in costumes.

[Paelos]

Well it's geeks in costumes because you enjoy it and for a cause. What really matters is you like it and have a group who does as well. Fuck the haters and all that.

[Pennilenko]

Don't let anyone talk shit to you Merusk. I would kill for a storm trooper costume that high quality.

[Merusk]

Oh, I don't. I did an event before I was approved and got nothing but love. That's all I need to know it was a good decision.

No need to kill, it's only $700 dollars and time. The company I bought from sold out of the classic trooper but there's still shadow troopers.

My wife would murder me if I spent 700 bucks on a costume, no matter how badass it might be.

[Venkman]

That is pretty cool. I am impressed with the dedication. I'd like to say the same thing about my wife and $700, but she let's me spend that on my computer every two years. And my computer doesn't travel around in a troupe doing nice things for people

[Sky]

Shadow trooper looks badass, but I would absolutely die if there is a sunny event. Black is the color of the night and dies by day...

I know quite a few of the storm troopers use some cooling systems built into the back pack part of the armor to try to mitigate the heat stroke factor. One of my friends in the 501st though has a snowtrooper commander outfit its a wool under layer with armor on top of that and a padded over coat. While very practical in actual artic/winter conditions it can only be worn for short periods of times in any kind of shirt sleeves temp event.

[Paelos]

Turns out I saw a ton of Stormtroopers at a AAA game her last Saturday. They were doing a Star Wars night. Even some LADY troopers, which I'd never seen before in public. I don't go to conventions.

[Engels]

How could you tell they were ladies?!

[Merusk]

Depends on the variant. Some ladies like doing the High-Heel lady troopers. All the women in my garrison do full-on ANH/ ESB/ ROTJ style, though.

Last weekend was a busy one, indeed. Free Comic Book Day and May the 4th stuff all around. Doing an Autism Walk for two hours this Saturday after the special needs event I did last weekend. Woo, plans.
