No jury would have convicted her, of course.

So, completely out of the blue my wife asks me, “What’s your opinion of a Chewbacca costume?”

I of course reply, “Grooowhaaahnnnneahhh.”

She rolls her eyes, and informs me that this is about the Halloween costume for my firstborn.

So I respond, “You want to dress him up as Chewbacca?”

“No, I want to dress him up as Han Solo.  It’ll be easier.”

“So, you plan to dress up as Chewbacca?”

“No, I thought that you could.”

“Why me?”

“Because I’m going to be very pregnant at that point.”

“Well, you could go as Ja[DANGER!  DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!  ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!  EMERGENCY SPEECH CENTER OVERRIDE!  EMERGENCY SPEECH CENTER OVERRIDE!  THIS IS NO DRILL!] mumblemumblemumble.”

She snickers, waits for maximum effect, then goes on “I’d thought that I’d wear a long white dress, put up my hair in buns and go as Princess Leia…”

“Yes.  Yes, that would be a very good idea.”

So, I guess I know what I’m being for Halloween.

PS: Luckily, I had just steam-cleaned what will be the kid’s new room, so I had fumes to fall back on as an excuse.

Start your morning right with an Vortex Cannon!

You will watch this in action, and you will say, Why the CGI? And then you will realize that there is no CGI.

The show is Bang Goes the Theory, which I assume is some sort of answer to, and/or alternative of, Mythbusters. I’d mock the guy for being so enthusiastic about this, except… well, he has a vortex cannon and I do not; that places him higher up on the geek pyramid than me, and there’s no getting around that.

So, bees are getting drunk in Tennessee?

There are worse things to do on a nice mountain in the summertime then get drunk, not that I have actually done any of them. For that matter, have I ever gotten drunk on a mountain in the summertime? I’ve been to SCA events on mountains, so I’ve almost certainly gotten drunk on one once; but whether I’ve done it in the summertime is another question.

Anyway, it sounds more like the bees are doing the… apiary?… equivalent of chewing locoweed, which I have not ever done. That entire phytotoxin thing.

This Drunken Bee song by the LoneTones doesn’t sound half bad, actually.

Alternatively, it could be your next campaign.

You could actually run a pretty good Conspiracy X one off of this basic concept. Or maybe even Unknown Armies. Admittedly, you’d have to run either one more lighthearted than the average GM would, but that’s not so bad.  If nothing else, it’d be novel.
