One more story before I go...

This one is also from a friend (I am happy to exploit my friends, as long as I protect their anonymity).

So we had a friend in AZ who was in Spouse's classes. Good guy. Mormon guy. And yes, devout- with all that entails. We sure liked him. He was kind of geeky in a really sweet way, and had the nicest mom ever.

Prior to the new Star Wars movies, he decided that since they were learning how to fabricate plastic, he would develop the coolest Halloween costume ever. He built several Boba Fett costumes. It took him weeks. The painting alone was probably some of the most complex work he had ever done. The grand pity of it was that he couldn't get a grade for it...

By the end, he had the perfect Boba Fett costume. And he created a couple of extras for two friends. And they went to Mill Ave. where there was a huge Halloween party. He was drunk chick magnet #1. They insisted on being in pictures with him. They showed him their breasts. They lllloooovvvveeeedddd him. They probably gave him plenty of impure thoughts. But since he didn't drink, he was able to resist their Jezebel natures...(and yes, I teased him about this some- he was really fun to tease- and took it remarkably well)

So I guess that this is one way for Star Wars geeks to get ahead for one night of their lives. Get the costume together and go to a drunken bacchanalia on Halloween. Then put the costume away for another year. Do not, under any circumstances wear it between times. Not even in the privacy of your own home.

And no, this doesn't work for Star Trek. No way, no how. No coolness quotent for Trekkers regardless of the holiday. Never, no way. So just stop it.
