So when we got back from VT. B went to check the mail she came back in abd haded me........

R2-D2



She had ordered it as an X-mas gift for me. I thought she had been joking about it when we were in Vt. Of course it scares the cats, and makes me think about building one thats a bit more realistic and usefull. (Although the cuteness factor on this one is increadible)

Heh, I've been thinkng along similar lines, but also all the other goodies that could/should be put into a home R2 unit.... GPS location tracking. Wireless network connection, digital camera, intruder deterent system (a tazer)

It's all *your* fault, Bunicula. :-) He got it for his nephew, and kept saying he was "tempted" to get one himself. I offered and he said "Nah." But then you posted where to get it at Walmart and it was too easy, so I went ahead, figuring we could return it if he actually didn't play with it.

Not only does it scare the cats, it annoys the hell outta me. ;->
"Hey R2: do you remember?" "Hey R2: do you remember?" "Hey R2: do you remember?" "Hey R2: do you remember?" "Hey R2: do you remember?" "Hey R2: do you remember?" over and over. And that feisty little doid obeys only half the time, if that! It's like having a 2 year old in the house! Well, at least we didn't have to put up with 9 months' morning sickness!
