Late last month (Friday, October 29, 2004) Neil Hetzel got all dressed up in an expensive enough suit and yet had nowhere to go, so he went to Wal-Mart to walk around and look at action figures and lingerie with a really good friend of his, who made certain to bring a camera and take plenty of photo's.
Neil's blog post tells the whole story about their adventure, complete with lots of excellent photo's of course (here) [and, while you are visiting that particular post, make sure to watch the video clip of the Trooper Dance too!]:
If true friendship can be measured by your buddy’s willingness to strap on Stormtrooper thigh pieces in the parking lot of Walmart at 10:30pm, then Ryan Farley measures up.I got my armor earlier this week and its seeming simplicity is surprisingly complex. I’ve worn it twice now to get the feel of it and made adjustments so things hang together correctly. Last night I called Ryan up while I was in the suit and he brought me over to surprise his kids. Everybody enjoyed the show but after a few minutes it just didn’t seem like enough. So we got the brilliant idea that we’d go walk around Walmart and look at action figures and lingerie. [...]
via Verns blog (here); within his post on the subject, Vern quipped:
Perhaps the Empire can straighten out the world's largest retailer...
By the way, a couple of additional photo's are over on Ryan Farley's blog and are well worth checking out as well, here.
