You guys may have noticed that generally, I have been keeping up with Cate's schedule. She writes about certain things on certain days. Including "People We Covet" on the twenty-fifth. I'll do that later. You may also have noticed that I'm not a big shoe fan. I like my Chuck Taylors, but that's about it, and Cate already wrote about those. It follows, naturally, that I am not much of a handbag connoisseur.
My deviation from Cate's carefully-planned schedule has begun, and today's bag is better than all the ones Cate has covered here, combined.
Today's bag is a sleeping bag in the shape of a tauntaun.
"What in the world is a tauntaun?" some of you may be asking.
Well, a tauntaun is not in this world--they come from the cold, cold planet of Hoth. The cold, cold planet of Hoth where Luke Skywalker and his tauntaun mount were attacked by a wampa. To make a short story shorter, Luke escaped the wampa, but succumbed to the cold. Han Solo saved him by using Luke's lightsaber to slice open his own dead tauntaun, so that its warm, squishy innards would envelop the freezing young man, giving him life in its death.
This sleeping bag almost accurately recreates the experience of sleeping in tauntaun guts--the inside is printed with intestines. The outside feels like tauntaun fur, and includes the saddle that carried the noble and handsome Han Solo to Luke's rescue. The sleeping bag is complete with a soft tauntaun-head pillow. The zipper is in the shape of a lightsaber, so that you, too, can slice open a tauntaun and shove your friend inside to save him.
The only thing that's missing is the smell.
Buy through ThinkGeek for $99.99.

1) If you don't know what a tauntaun is, you clearly do not know nearly enough about the world.
ReplyDelete2) A TAUNTAUN SLEEPING BAG!
3) Since this is a tauntaun sleeping bag, I'm not even upset that you're not writing about handbags. That's how much I love Star Wars. Which is to say, Well-played.
