In the comments of that io9 story, someone says "Now I want a TV show about a group of people at a theme park who play characters"--I think that actually sounds pretty funny! Except you probably wouldn't be able to license any cool characters (like Jedi!) they'd all be random fake princesses and stuff.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That could be funny. Mace Windu and Darth Maul could have a secret affair.

Gah. Someone tell me to work. I had a SQUIRREL moment and I haven't been able to find my way back since.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just for the record, msbelle's mac was an excellent Jedi.

It's Spring!
Yeah, a lamb among the daffodils--spring is trying too hard to be spring-y. But succeeding at being very cute.

Disney tends to be pretty open to mockery of Disney characters as long as it is in another Disney production. Pitch it to Disney and if they go for it, you will be able to set it at Disneyland have your characters wear actual Disney costumes. And then, because you have Disney behind you, you might even be able to license some cool non-Disney characters. Not saying Disney would be an easy sell, but no harder a sell than anyone else.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Growing up, I was always the semi-conscious kid in the mornings. I no longer have that luxury and I miss it, but someone has to get up in the morning.
This morning was actually pretty ideal. I woke up at 6 when Franny came and crawled into bed with us and so I woke up to Franny snuggles. Then she asked me to stop breathing because I was breathing on her. When does that sociopathic phase end?

Haha! I hope not before we get more fun quotes like that! :)
...I need to do some work. I've been needing to do it for DAYS. I did a tiny bit of other work instead...and still need to do this.
I also need to somehow find a white sailor hat. I didn't see any at the one army/navy surplus store I went to, but I"m hoping a different store will have them. But in order to go there and look, I really need to finish my work first...(ETA: Can anyone think where else I would find one? The one costume store I went to didn't have any, but it's possible another might)

Oo meara, I want to see pictures of you dressed as a sailor.
