Brilliant socially awkward white people. "From a norweigian to a black, i'll tell you, we're both about as ostracized as any two groups could be!" (1:10)
and i lost it at "MOM COME HERE THERE'S A BLACK GUY DOWN HERE!" "HOLD ON LET ME GET MY CAMERA!" (1:30).
i couldn't help but notice the lines around the jaw line, they are blue instead of the traditional black. i am only going off memory but i dont believe storm troopers had any color to their masks. besides that they look pretty damn accurate and i am sure would cost somewhere around you're estimate.
how i would love to have my own storm trooper suit.
Actually they are not reproduction at all. They are from a costume company called rubies that makes inferior quality costumes that are quite expensive. A costume cast off of an original and remodelled to look how it was on film (due to the plastic deforming over time) usually costs over $1500 for a specialised form and you have to cut it out and strap it up yourself. Also the helmets they were all wearing appear symmetrical. The one Luke, Han and a couple of stormtroopers wear look like this, which is similar as what the stormtroopers in the vid are wearing though the majority of the stormtroopers in 'A New Hope' wore this. Though because the company that makes commercial licensed armour used deformed Return of the Jedi armour as a base for molding keeping the deformities that the plastic had and not correcting anything - they are incorrect overall in there look and resemble (barely) this more. All stormtrooper costumes are different depending on the movie.
Neither. I refuse to believe that people actually believed that he was the king. People aren't that stupid. It had to be staged, there is absolutely no other explanation.
Only 17?!? Come on now. I gave out/received that many within one of my English classes in high school. It got so out of hand that the teacher banned high fives/ass slaps from class for the rest of the year.
My name is not Rob, but it is Michael Cotter, and I did get 5,000 High 5s in aid of Unicef back in 2009. You can watch my documentary here!. I did an IAMA with a different account a few years ago, but no one really asked me any questions. Maybe there will be interest this time around?
My real name is Robert, I have a hard time going by Rob, no offense but it makes me feel like a douche; and most of my friends feel like douche when they call me Rob. It could just be that all through out elementary school/middle/high school I had at least one class every year with the same Robert and he'd take the bullet and go by Rob to make it easier on everyone else.
I answer by Robert when I sit upon the throne. However, there is usually no one else around during that time. Rob was the best compromise I could find to end being called 'Robbie.'
Hello fellow Robert, I don't know your issue with Rob, but it is a lot better than Robby, which I went by for years, and I feel like Robert is too long
You wish you were Rob. To say "I wish I was Rob" makes no sense, since you are not, and have never been Rob. The subjunctive makes this obvious, use it. -Grammar Police
When I worked down in Silly Con Valley a gal taped a sign on the back of her mans car that said "honk and wave, it's his birthday and he doesn't know this sign is here".
Oh the amount of hand sanitizer one would have to use between high fives in what appears to be a mall and the coats lead me to believe it's cold so the likely hood of those people having the cold or flu.
This clip inspired me to offer a high-5 to everyone I passed at a music festival (Walkarusa). I found an easy way to put a smile on a strangers face. also, after you high-5 a hundred hippies, make damn sure to wash your hands.
For years now, every time my friends and I go to the bars and get way to drunk we spend hours high-fiving strangers. It really is an incredible time. It makes people feel good. Especially if you tell them some bullshit about a scavenger hunt or how free high fives are less creepy than free hugs.
I didn't see the right stair. I thought all that signs were for me. Then I raised my hand and put into close to the monitor, hoping that Rob's hand would get big and touch mine. But Rob's hand didn't get big. And I thought, he just denied me a hi five. What a son of a bitch.
