Go on you know you want too!!!!! Take the plunge and start collecting your own Empire of Cards just like Darth. His choices are known only to the Universe and he must keep collecting. Will you be next????? Make Darth stand up and take notice of your committment to the Force and not evil by buying from your favourites and making an artist’s day. Lets generate so many sales Red Bubble explodes with activity like a Death Star, etc etc. million other Star Wars references. P.S. Quality of cards is outstanding (glossy and heavy) cheaper than most cards in the shops. Darth captured some additional cards 2 weeks ago but they got sent off a bit quick for birthdays before he did inventory, (eg. Whirligig, love the meerkats). Buy Buy Buy.

May the Fourth Be With You! It only rolls round once a year folks …. And in honour of the day I have blogged here Tees from RubyRed, Reece Ward, Zomboys, Quigonjim, James Lillis and of course … me!!

On a whim, I picked up a copy of Cleolinda Jones’ most excellent book ‘Movies in Fifteen Minutes’ in which she very cleverly and humorously provides in her own words ‘Hollywood Blockbusters for people who can’t be bothered’. It cost me a mere £3 at HMV and was an excellent read. AND she has a website with more movies too Anyway, as a challenge and a tribute, I thought I’d have a go at doing one of these. STAR WARS IN FIFTEEN MINUTES Space / A spaceship : flies overhead / A massively, incredibly, insanely, mind-bogglingly huge spaceship : also flies overhead / EXCEPT BIGGER Spaceship Interior / C-3PO (Threepio) : Oh, dear. / R2-D2 (Artoo): Boop de-boop! A SHORT TIME LATER…. / [An escape pod carrying the two droids and some stolen plans to a huge battlestation is launched towards the planet, while the captured smaller spaceship is overrun by heavily armed, violent, body-armoured stormtroopers who mercilessly cut down any and all opposition. The Empire is a vicious, violent, malevolent bunch.] Star Destroyer Gunner : Can I shoot at the abandoned escape pods that are launched? / Star Destroyer Commander : What kind of freak are you? Tattooine Desert – Crash Landing / Threepio : Oh dear! It sure is hot. / Artoo : Boop-de-boop! / Threepio : So to summarise : you’re taking a partially shaded route that your treads can travel over easily and would also provide better footing for me. However, just to be contrary, I shall take the sandy path in full sun even though I’m the one complaining about the heat. / Artoo : (trundles away) Boop-de-boop! / C-3PO : (fifteen minutes later, turns back) I hate you!! Tattooine – The Lars Moisture Farm / [Owen Lars is a farmer who harvests water vapour and mushrooms and has lived on the same farm for at least twenty years and has no interest in excitement or adventure, which is why at the end of the prior movie released years later, he was entrusted with the task of looking after the son of the dark lord of the sith. A large Jawa sandcrawler has pulled up outside his place, with droids for sale] / Owen Lars: So, do you have a droid that can pilot starfighters and hack into any data system, and another droid who can speak five million languages and capable of interpreting the minutiae of intergalactic protocols and etiquette? I need these on my farm. / Jawa : By sheer coincidence….yes. / Owen Lars : Groovy. [Regrettably, his farm does not have an internet connection, otherwise Artoo would be able to email the Death Star plans to the rebellion, or upload them to rebellion.org or something. But anyway, our hero LUKE SKYWALKER, the LARS’ adopted son, has overseen the purchase of the droids] Luke : So does this mean I can go to the academy this year rather than next year? / Owen Lars : Harvesting moisture out of the air and collecting mushrooms is a complicated labour-intensive procedure incapable of being performed by any form of robot, no matter how advanced. So, no. / Luke : (whines) I blame you, Artoo (turns his back) / Artoo : Boop-de-boop! (runs off) / Threepio : Oh dear! The Very, very, very, very, very dangerous Jundland Wastes, the following day / Luke : There you are, Artoo. We have to get back to the speeder, there are sandpeople in this area and they’re very, very, very, very dangerous. (Heads off) / Threepio : Um… isn’t the speeder in the other direction? / Luke : Yes, but I want to take a closer look at the very, very, very, very dangerous sandpeople. / Threepio : ?? / Luke : (through binoculars) Ah, there they are. Look, down there. / Threepio : Magnificent. Can we go to the speeder now? / Luke : Wait for it.. Wait for it…. Wait for it…. / Threepio : Now? / Luke : Wait for it…… / Sandperson : RRRRRRAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!! / Luke : … there you go! / Gaffi Stick to Luke’s Head: thud / Luke’s head to Ground: thud / Threepio’s arm : thud / Artoo : boop-de-boop! / Ben Kenobi : SCREEEEEEEEEEEEE! [The sandpeople scatter, pausing only to steal the stereo from the speeder and the front hood ornament. BEN KENOBI, meanwhile wakes up an unconscious LUKE] Ben Kenobi : We’d better head back to my place. Sand people are very, very, very, very dangerous. / Luke : You’re eighty years old and live alone in this kind of area? / Ben Kenobi : Yeah. Sandpeople are not that dangerous. Ben Kenobi’s Place / [This does not actually happen] / Ben : Your father wanted you to have this lightsber when I cut off both his legs and an arm at our last meeting / Luke : ?? / Ben : Actually he didn’t know you were born at that point so he couldn’t have given me that instruction. He probably assumed that when your mother died in childbirth, you and your twin sister died too. / Luke : ?? / Ben : And although we desperately wanted to make sure he never found you even if he suspected you had lived, we decided to let you keep the Skywalker surname and have you live on the planet he was born on, and have you stay with his relatives. / Luke : ?? / Ben : That’s mostly because even back then we had higher hopes for your twin sister, who is actually doing something with her life, what with being a senator and helping the rebellion and stuff while you whine about power converters and the like. / Luke : ?? / Ben : Your sister is the girl in the message, by the way, and your father is the evil guy she’s trying to get away from. I figure it’s best that you know these things now rather than when you’re at an emotionally vulnerable time like the middle of a battle or something / Luke : ?? / Ben : Just play with the laser sword, boy / Luke : Right-o Luke’s Relatives’ Moisture Farm / [After finding the Jawa sandcrawler the two droids were on completely gutted with fire and death, LUKE deduces the heavily armed attackers must have followed the droids’ trail to the moisture farm. So, without any form of weapon and driving a speeder that doesn’t even have so much as a stereo or hood ornament that could be thrown at armed stormtroopers, Luke decides that the best course of action is to leave the trained Jedi Ben Kenobi behind and drive there alone. Incredibly, he doesn’t die for this insanity, and instead arrives to find the Moisture Farm is on fire.] [Let’s pause to investigate this. It’s a stone structure. In the middle of a desert. And it’s job is to collect moisture. And it is on fire. He returns to the sandcrawler and seeks out Ben] / Luke : VENGEANCE!! / Ben Kenobi: This is probably, TOTALLY the best frame of mind for you to be in so I can introduce you to how the force works. Also, we should go to Alderaan. Mos Eisley Spaceport / Luke : Look at this urban sprawl. The growth of CGI has really turned this place into a dump. / George Lucas : It’s the special edition version! Woo!!! [Ben and Luke and the droids are stopped by a troop of Stormtroopers] / Stormtrooper : You guys with the speeder and the two droids and the farmboy. You exactly match the description of the people we are looking for Ben : You don’t need to see his identification / Stormtrooper : We don’t need to see your identification / The other three stormtroopers standing there : … Ben : These aren’t the droids you’re looking for / Stormtrooper : These aren’t the droids we’re looking for / The OTHER three stormtroopers standing RIGHT THERE : … Ben : He can go about his business / Stormtrooper : You can go about your business / THE OTHER THREE stormtroopers WHO ARE standing RIGHT THERE : … Luke : WTF?? / Ben : The force can have a strong influence on the weak minded / Luke : The force can have a strong influence on the weak minded… / Ben : Though oddly, did you know stormtroopers are the clones of a very clever bounty hunter I met once, and upon whom my attempts at mind control totally failed? / Luke : Did I know that oddly, stormtroopers are clones of a very clever bounty hunter you met once..… / Ben : Shut up. Mos Eisley Cantina / [Aliens, music, drinking. You know the drill. Luke goes up to a mean-looking bartender and stands next to the most evil-looking alien at the counter and orders a warm glass of milk or something] / Bad Guy : I kill you!! / Luke : Eeee! / Obiwan’s Lightsaber : SlashVOOOOM! / Bad Guy : My arm! And the blood! Why didn’t it cauterise the wound like with every other person who’s had their arm cut by one of these? / Fanboys in audience: slap head [A short time later] / Obiwan : So your ship’s fast? / Han : Baby, it completed the (journey expressed in terms of a distance measurement) in a time of (another measure of distance) / Obiwan : That doesn’t makes sense, but okay. / Han : It’s fast / Obiwan : I don’t believe your ship’s as fast as you claim, but what the hell / Han : I don’t believe an old guy like you carries as much money as you claim, but what the hell / Obiwan : Cool. Catch ya / Han : I’m also on my way out [Han runs into a bounty hunter] / Greedo : Going somewhere? / Han : I guess not. / [They find a table and sit across from each other] / Han: So what’s your plan? / Greedo : I’ll shoot you first / Han : I’m pretty baddass. I’m quite capable of shooting first / Greedo : Nope. I’ll shoot first / Han : Very well / Greedo : So I’m shooting first / Han : Go on / Greedo : Wait for it… / Han : … / Greedo : Wait for it…. / Han : … / Greedo : Wait for it…. / Han : … / Greedo : [Shoots] / Han : [Shoots] / Greedo : [Misses!] / Han : [Hits!] / Fanboys : [slap heads] / George Lucas : Woo! The Millennium Falcon takes off from the spaceport and jumps into hyperspace / [On the ship’s living room, Luke is in fast-tracked training to become a Jedi, the droids are playing chess against Chewbacca and Han is just hanging tough] / Luke : [swishes lightsaber] / Ben : Concentrate, Luke / Han : I’d rather have a blaster at my side than rely on a religion / Artoo : [plays chess move] / Chewbacca : Rowr / Han : He says he’ll rip your arms out if he loses / Artoo : Boop-de-boop! / Han : Okay, he now says he’ll rip out your golden friend’s arms if he loses / Artoo : Boop-de-boop! / Threepio : [faints] / Luke : Ooh! I think I felt something / Ben : (hopeful) A million billion voices crying out in terror as a planet is shorn apart by a superweapon? / Luke : No. Just this little thing in front of me shooting small electric bolts at my a55 / Ben : Awesome. Meanwhile, in space, elsewhere, a couple of seconds earlier / Death Star : [PYOOOOO!!!!] / Alderaan : [BOOOM!!!!] / Shock Wave : [CGI!!!] / (George Lucas : Woo!!!) / Tarkin : Was it good for you? / Darth Vader : I’m going for a cigarette The Millennium Falcon Exits Hyperspace / Han : That’s not a planet, that’s an asteroid field / Ben Kenobi : That’s not a moon, that’s a space station / Chewbacca : Rowr / Threepio : Oh Dear / Luke : [faints] The Millenium Falcon is pulled into the Death Star / [Hundreds of stormtroopers file into the docking bay, along with Darth Vader and a search crew] / Darth Vader : Commander tear this ship apart and bring me the passengers, I want them alive!! / Search Crew : like the space ship from before? / Darth Vader : No, not quite as thoroughly as that time / Search Crew : But we didn’t find the plans last time we did that / Darth Vader : Yeah… but still. Keep it low key. Send in two people. And make sure they’re unarmed / Search Crew : …?? Inevitably… / [Having successfully overpowered the search crew and two (2) stormtroopers, and impersonated those stormtroopers by wearing their uniforms and pretending to have malfunctioning equipment and cleverly hiding the bulletholes in the uniforms, our heroes are in a control room] / Ben Kenobi : Well, I’m off / Han : Cool. We’ll wait here. / Ben Kenobi : leaves / Han : Let’s get out of here / Luke : No, we should stay / Han : You’re right we should stay / Luke : The princess! She’s here! We should go! / Han : I think we should stay / Luke : …. / Han : … / Luke : Scissors-paper-rock? / Han : Okay / Luke : Woo! Paper! / Chewbacca : Rowr / Han : Fine, whatever. Detention Cell, Death Star / [Chewbacca ‘gets loose’ in the place where they’re keeping the Princess and our heroes brutally shoots everything in sight multiple times. Then, after everyone has been shot, they keep firing] / Blaster : [pyoo!] / Stuff : [explodes] / Blaster : [pyoo!] / Blaster : [pyoo!] / Blaster : [pyoo!] / Blaster : [pyoo!] / Blaster : [pyoo!] / Stuff : [explodes] / Stuff : [explodes] / Stuff : [explodes] / Stuff : [explodes] / Voice on intercom : Ummm… everything okay there? / Han : Yes, totally / Voice on intercom : excellent, we’ll send in people to clean up / Han : D’oh! / (rewind) / Voice on intercom : Everything okay there? / Han : No, totally not! / Voice on intercom : Okay, we’ll send in backup / Han : There really was no way to properly answer that question was there? / (blasts control panel) Han: Luke, we’re going to have company! / Luke : Oh great… now I’ll only have a couple of moments to try to chat up my sister [Luke opens the door to Princess Leia’s cell. She is in soft, seductive repose, and seems to be in great shape for somebody who has probably been tortured for at least several weeks] / Leia : You’re a little short for a stormtrooper / Luke : Not the best of starts for my romantic move. But here goes… I’m Luke Skywalker! / Leia : …. / Luke : I’m here to rescue you! / Leia : … / Luke : I snuck on board the death star for you! / Leia : … / Luke : I (kind of) fought off sandpeople for you! / Leia : … / Luke : I (kind of) outran imperial slugs for you! / Leia : … / Luke : I brought your two droids! / Leia : … / Luke : Fine. Sigh. I’m here with Ben Kenobi…. / Leia : Ewan MacGregor is HERE???? / Luke : No, the old dude. I think his name is Guinness or something…. / Leia : Maybe he’s still cute. Okay, I’ll come with. [Blaster fire erupts as they leave here cell. Han comes charging at them in a panic] Luke : Also, it seems we’re trapped in this corridor and more stormtroopers have been mobilised to kill us / Leia : ?? / Han : Don’t look at me : HE’S the brains / Leia : ?? [Taking charge, Leia blasts a hole into the side of the corridor. Everyone jumps into the garbage disposal duct and almost dies from being overcome by the noxious fumes] / Luke : Still, things could be worse / Unidentified Monster : ROOOOARRRR!!!!! / Leia : I maintain this is still a better situation than we had up there / [The walls start to converge] / Han : ... / Leia : Okay. It’s a line-ball call at this stage… Back in the Control Room / [Artoo sticks a USB key with a secure remote connection to the entire Death Star Operating System, skims past the ‘Set silent self destruct with one hour delay’ command menu, and accesses the ‘stop garbage compactor closing’ menu instead. The walls of the compactor stop and everyone is saved. Woo!] Death Star Corridor, a short time later / Leia : Don’t let’s do that again / Han : Seriously? She stopped to take a SHOWER? / Luke : You’re complaining? / Han : Well… no. In a different Death Star Corridor / Ben Kenobi : [skulks] / Stormtroopers : [march in formation for no conceivable reason to no specific destination] / Ben Kenobi : [gets past them] / [Ben Kenobi crawls out onto a ledge to turn off a tractor beam. Which is kind of like this laser beam / light pointing up into the air. And yes, Artoo could have turned this off from the CONTROL ROOM, but obviously Ben is creating a diversion to bring Darth Vader to him. Which he could do anyway without all this skulking by just dicing up some stormtroopers and making a big noise. But he needs for Luke to see Vader cutting him down so that his larger plan can kick into action, so in essence this plan is devastatingly more complicated and optimistic than it seems at first.] [But the crux of it is that as long as everyone else just stayed put in the command room and stayed out of sight and keeps quiet and doesn’t do anything too mad, the plan will work…] Another Different Death Star Corridor / Han : Yeeha!!! (fires blaster maniacally) / Luke : Woooo!!! (fires blaster manically) / Leia : (fires blaster professionally) / Chewbacca : (fires crossbow… wait… CROSSBOW??) / Stormtroopers : pyoo! / [Cavernswinging, good-lucking, plucky banter-ing, panel-blasting, blast-door-closing, blast-door-opening ensues, and then Han runs into the worlds biggest fully clothed stormtrooper urinal or something] The Other Death Star Corridor / Ben Kenobi : F%&ing kids… well whatever. Oh, there you are. / Darth Vader : (Lightsaber Already On) I’ve been waiting for you Obiwan. Circlecomplete lastmetiwasthelearner nowiamthemaster / Ben Kenobi : (Lightsaber Fizzes Sputteringly On) Umm… dude… got some batteries? I think this thing is almost out / Darth Vader : … / Ben Kenobi : Fine, just kill me already / Darth Vader : ? / Ben Kenobi : Do it!! / Darth Vader : You went into hiding for thirty years and now you’ve landed here, of all places, right now, with a badly uncharged lightsaber, for the express purposes of stating that you’re here NOT to fight me? Well, I refuse to believe you have an ulterior motive in this, so I’m happy to oblige [Darth Vader performs what in legal terms probably amounts to the assisted suicide of his former master. This is conveniently overseen by an impressionable farmboy] Luke : WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZAAAAAAARRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!! / Darth Vader : That irritating voice! Reminds me of… well, me, as a kid. Probably not worth bothering about though. [The Millennium Falcon flies away as dozens of Stormtroopers misfire massively and completely fire to hit it, and not a single canon is fired at it as it leaves] Death Star Command Room / Tarkin : You put a homing beacon on their ship? / Darth Vader : Sure did / Tarkin : Still too risky. Get some tie fighter pilots to chase them and allow them to be killed by them in order to add some credibility to their escape / Darth Vader : You know, that mission is probably not going to get a whole lot of volunteers The Millennium Falcon interior, a short time later / Luke : Boom!! / Han : Our dichotomy opens the battle!! / Luke : I got one! / Tie Fighter: [explodes] / Tie Fighter: [explodes] / Tie Fighter: [explodes] / Tie Fighter: [explodes] / Arcade Machine : please insert quarter for new game / Luke : Do we have time to go again? / Han : ‘fraid not / Threepio : (on fire) Oh dear / Leia : they obviously let us go / Han : What on earth are you talking about? The Rebel Briefing / [The last dregs of the rebellion have desecrated a massive temple to use as a temporary storage location for a bunch of spaceships. The two dozen pilots are assembled to watch a powerpoint presentation briefing based on the plans Artoo never got around to emailing directly and instead delivered by hand. Han, who has no intention of having any part of this, nonetheless joins them so he can roll his eyes at the appropriate point] / General Dodonna : So basically, imagine Europe. We’ve got… what… this is the special edition of the film? So say twenty jet fighters to blow it all up. / Han Solo : [eyeroll] / Fighter Pilots : … / General Dodonna : Also, they have guns. Lots and lots and lots and lots of guns. But our analysts have determined that they’re used to firing at big things so probably they won’t be able to hit small things. Probably. Still they probably have ten or twenty jets of their own to defend the thing with. Again, that’s our analysts’ estimate. / Fighter Pilots : … / General Dodonna : And though those are actually good odds when you think about it, the problem is you can only blow up the Death Star by effectively throwing something the size of a marble at one small unprotected part of it that is, in fact, very well protected. Except not, if you think about it. / Luke : I used to… thing… the rat things… back home….with marbles. It’s quite easy. / Han Solo : [eyeroll] / General Dodonna: And did you do that while under enemy fire, with the entire fate of the universe at stake, including your sister/love interest, while being chased by the evil dark lord of the sith whose craft is better and faster than yours while your thought-to-be-dead mentor’s disembodied voice goes through your mind and the countdown clock to the unleashment of the Death Star laser is in negative territory and your one wingman has been shot down and the other has chickened off elsewhere and you’ve seen people and ships blown up in the cold depths of space and your artoo unit has been shot and is screaming over the intercom? / Luke : Well.. No. It wasn’t quite like that. / General Dodonna : Excellent. Good luck everybody. / Han : Well, I’m off. Rebel base in desecrated temple, a short time later / Luke : So, Han. You heading off then? / Han : Yeah. What’s the use of a reward if you’re not around to spend it? / Luke : Any chance you’ll change your mind at the last moment, turn around, head back, and blow up the guys pursuing me just as the death star is about to fire so I can make the winning shot? / Han : … it’s hard to say / Luke : Think about it. Kickass Space Battle above the planet Yavin / [Ships explode. The death star draws ever nearer. More ships explode. Luke almost gets killed. Multiple attack runs fail and the final attack run is scheduled to coincide with the last chance to blow up the station. John Williams’ score is totally bitchin’. Additional CGI ships and explosions are inserted [here], [here] and [here]. It is still, even with the massive and jarring difference in quailty between the original and restored and enhanced versions, pretty awesome. It goes on for some time. Eventually, after two failed raids down the death star’s lateral trench, the final group of fighters make their run and are pursued by three (3) enemy ships. Luke is in the centre and starting to get close to getting ready to take his shot] Disembodied voice of Ben Kenobi : Use the force, Luke / Luke : Not really necssary. I’m liking the technology I have. / Disembodied voice of Ben Kenobi : USE THE FORCE, LUKE! / Luke : … look, it’s got a countdown going, it’s got that narrowing horizon graphic, the low-tech nature means it’s not overly complicated or distracting, the music is helping keep me amped up…. / Disembodied voice of Ben Kenobi : … / Luke : Oh, fine. / (turns off all controls) / Rebel Control Room : What just happened??? / Luke : You don’t want to know. / Rebel Control Room : We kind of have a vested interest in suriving this, you realise? [Darth Vader and his evil henchmen wingmen show up and start bearing down upon Luke. They blow up wing man number one. They score a glancing shot on wingman number two who “bravely” leaves the battle rather than, say sacrificing himself by stepping on the brakes and taking out one or more of the bad guys. So it’s just Luke agains the three enemy ships bearing down on thim. Getting closer, closer, closer] Darth Vader : I am attuned to the universe. I can sense the infinite connections between all living things and ride their presence across the stars. I sense Kenobi. I feel the force in the pilot ahead of me. I podraced as a five year old and this machine is lighter, spryer, and better armed. There is no greater feeling than this. It’s so responsive. I’m so single-mindedly attuned to everything around me that I can precision-laser-snipe the top of the head of the droid of the ship in front of me that’s being piloted by a force-adept pilot while updating my facebook profile and ordering a pizza WITH MY MIND. Check this out, beyotches. / Tie Fighter Pilot 1 : Oh, you were talking to us? / Vader’s Ship’s Laser : [pyoo!] / Artoon : EEEEEEEeeeeeee!!!! / Darth Vader : 20000 Midichlorians say ‘wooo!!!’ Han : WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! / Darth Vader : Okay, that? I didn’t see coming. / Tie Figher 1 : [explodes] / Tie Figher 2 : [collides with Darth Vader’s ship then explodes] / Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter : [spin – wheeeee!!!!!!!!] [It’s just Luke racing against the firing sequence of the Death Star now. The order has been given by Tarkin and now the giant machine just has to… you know… warm up or do whatever it needs to do. This is it. Luke’s one chance] Luke : Oh, easy as… (shoots marble) / Marble : nothin’ but net. / Every Rebel pilot killed in the attack : And he wasn’t in the first attack run because…? / Death Star : [wait for it ] / Death Star : [wait for it ] / Death Star : [wait for it ] / Tarkin : You know, I have a good feeling about this / Death Star: BBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!! / Concussion Wave : SWWWWWWWWIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH / George Lucas : Woo! / Fanboys : [slapface] The Victory Ceremony / [No dialogue, just John Williams’ score. The rebels have ripped open and desecrated yet another room in a temple to create a hall large enough to accommodate a large ceremony to their awesomeness] / Luke : [medal] / Han : [medal] / Chewie : [medal] / Threepio : [polished] / Artoo : [repaired] / Leia : [grins] / Luke : [grins] / Han : [grins] / Chewie : Rowr! / Circle Wipe : swish! End Credits / Directed by George Lucas General Dodonna : Um… now that the empire knows where we are, shouldn’t we, like, get the hell out of here? You know… quickly? Oh, and remember to take the fireworks with us, we’ll need those in Episode 6. The End

Hi all, I just felt it was right to let you in on the top sellers of Diesel Laws to date. This is to not toot my own horn, but show you that selling t-shirts in this current climate is still possible. I currently sell a shirt every two days, but as of late, it has moved up a bit thanks to the AUDIOBOTS – TRANSFORMERS Tee The Diesel Laws brand started about 8 months ago and these figures go back to about 4 months ago. Just so you are aware, I uploaded ‘Darth Vader Rocks’ a while ago, then removed it, and have only just put it back up again – so those sales are not from the last two days lol. I will talk more about how to get continuous sales in another journal entry, but for now, here are the top earners. Darth Vader Rocks 24 (T-shirts sold) / Beetles on Abbey Road 18 (T-shirts sold) / Music Head 15 (T-shirts sold) “Beetles on Abbey Road”: has been the quickest shirt sold for Diesel Laws, selling one on the day it released. It has also been the highest riser for the brand since its inception approx two months ago. Another high flyer is the Audiobots – Transformers t-shirt, selling 4 shirts since its upload on the bubble only 9 days ago. So that’s it for now, I hope that has given you a bit of insight from my end, and very soon I will write a post on how to keep continuous sales coming back to your t-shirts.

There are some really great toys out there! Some will be rarer than others. At the moment the Star Wars fans are out in force collecting their Force FX Lightsabers. The cool part is that there is a new company making them the cooler part is that for the lucky few who have Master Replica ones then your stock has risen! The most popular with the Master replica batch are the Mace Windu ones (no suprise there) and the Luke green and blue ones. The new company has released them with the same featured but with slightly different decals and paint jobs but they both light up and make those cool noises which you wont have to do accapella style anymore! Prices range from $260AUS and keep in mind when this new model loses its company rights to produce it it is then declared a collectable. No matter what the Antiques rule is of a 100 years. They stop making it and in a certain style then its a sure fire to go up in price! Saga Central sells these things. I have not seen them in stores! Hobbyco once stocked them but they never last more than 1 day in that place. That is how popular they really are. A serious investment if ever I saw one. / The Heath Ledger myth is growing and in time his movies will probably make a bigger star of a man in reality noone gave a crap about when he was alive. He was living up the road from me in Bronte. He would get harrassed by media and camera people. he couldn’t go to the shops. He moved to a quieter place like Manhattan to get away from all that! What a good thing a move can do! My point is that he couln’t even live in Sydney let alone a quiet street without getting hassled. We are so celebrity pathetic here in this town it’s embarrissing. I don’t know if Heath would approve of him being the new cult figure. Most cosplayers imitate his Dark Knight image. It sure beats the campy Ceaser Romero version that only Shaun Micallif can get away with! The toys are exquisite to pathetic. Please note if somthing is collectable the people that make these are sure to be given kudos for doing so and others will be in Rosemedow doctor’s-surgery toy bins in years to come. The simple Heath baddie figgure comes in a version where the outer jacket is green and another version where the outer jacket is purple. I have seen one retailer sell it for $26AUS. The face looks like a young Steve Winwood or that guy from Ween. Very very bad. The DC Direct people have the best in Joker collectables. One 1:6 scale figure I have. These figures come with extra hand varieties and head and mask capabilities. They are so good that they are museum quality. I bought mine at Comic Kingdom for $198AUS. Then Target down in Leichhardt had em for $138AUS. I guess it all depends where you go, eh?! Any chance they will make a Heath TWO HANDS or NED KELLY figure?! There is always a buck to be made out of a dead guy and Hollywood loves a dead star for them to make money off. It’s cheap and the stars don’t talk back with demands or anything. that is one way a myth strats. The other is people like me on an entry level that buy it. / The new Watchmen film will be making fetishist boys very happy with their own copy of Silk Spectre to keep in their mylar pouches in their dark dungeons! I am predicting that this movie will be making cosplay very inviting and the comic cons into a bit of a skinTWO dimension. I could be wrong. I think the title to this movie and comic is crap. Sorry guys, it should be called “Watch Men and Women” or “Watchmen and Watchwomen”. Wait I think it will be another movie to watch with the sound down.

I’ve been playing with star wars lego and having great fun. Pleas ehave a look at them and tell me what you think people. It’s a step away from what I usually do but I think it’s been reasonably successful. :o)

A spaceship lands on Earth. After 2 days the commander chooses to finally speak to the people of Earth. Every television station around the world broadcasts the speech live. When the commander of the ship speaks, it is transmitted (through satellite) in every language necessary. The message he has for Earth is that they (the Aliens) have come to put Earth on trial. They have watched people kill each other and commit terrible crimes. So they decided to come do something about it. They came to find one man who would represent Earth and speak for the planet. 2 days ago they received a sound wave that brought a great deal of interest to them. It was music created 20 years ago! And it took that long for the sound waves to reach them. The commander of the ship decided to appoint the person whomever made the music to be the representer for Earth. He announced that the man was called 7th Son. The Aliens have decided to give 7th Son only 24 hours to make an Album and defend Earth. If they are not satisfied with the outcome, “They will destroy Earth!” The 7th Son accepted the responsibility and took on the mission. He only asks of one favor: for great artist to be resurrected and help with the album, such as John Lennon, 2Pac, Easy E, Curtis Mayfield, Bauch, Chubby Checker, Dina Washington and many other great artists from many many years ago. “And the wish was granted!” Once finished, the whole album will be played worldwide via satellite. Will the 7th Son save the Earth or does man deserve to parish? Listen and see! Unlike your regular music albums that are song listed as side A and Side B; 7th Son’s album will be listed in Acts (Act 1, Act 2, Act 3 and so on. 7 acts in all). Because of the storyline of this album, it must be done that way. This way you are not just listening to a Hip Hop album but watching a movie within your mind and ears. The album is filled with prophecies, predictions, faith, tears and laughter. It’s a must buy even if it takes you 5 years to understand it. The outline of this album is purely original so please, “NO BITERS!!!” Copyright Indigo Messiah Records 2008

NEBULA JOURNAL~Lift Off 3067 / Warpspeed 1, 3067 We are finally off, “GETTING THESE DAM ROBOTS ORGANIZED IS MURDER!” So we got XR16, Chipmonk, his brother Niff, Boxtox and somehow Cloey got on board. It’s going to take 10.5 lightyears to reach Earth, hope it doesn’t shock them (the Earthlings) too much. I wonder if the V’s got there already… Can’t let them accomplish their plan. This Pulsar1180 is pretty nifty; just enough room for us and most importantly, it fits the Mecca Z90 in the back. The Earthlings are really gonna big bang out when they see that machine. I’m sure they will be flying them soon. Well we are all trapped in this space shuttle for a good 1000 plus years so we mind as well jam to some tunes; I happen to catch some soundwaves on the way (65 years worth to be exact). “Hey, guess what” we all decided to make one of those Hip albums everyone on Nebula talks about. Well, I figure, we have all it takes to make one: Boxtox on programming, XR on the beats (though he cannot talk) and the Clemotite brothers provide just pure entertainment. We have already given the Earthling our ideas for the album and he should be putting together an album cover by now. I wonder what year it is there. Cleoy thinks it is around 2006 in Earth years. man, why did she get assinged to this mission, all she does is flirt with me, saying that Nebula girls are the best. I mean, they have six arms man! But I’m not nearly curious. Well I guess that’s it for now, our musical soundwave should have reached the Earthling by now, we will send the lyrics soon. 7th Son out… Copyright Indigo Messiah Records 2008 / “7th Son double album release 2008”

Warp speed 3, 3067 Our lyrics have finally reached the Earthling, everyone in the shuttle is so excited! And get this, “BOXTOX DID HIS FIRST RYME!” You should have seen Cloey when he got on the cyb. Of course the brothers were talkin mess, Chipmonk is gets really emotional, I mean Hip Hop is religion to him, along with me too but he really hates MTV! I don’t blame him, but I always remind him that if it were not for MTV we wouldn’t have received all those Earth frequencies about the Earth’s style of music. But but he still hates MTV. At least they don’t still play that horrible Madonna type crap like they do on the planet Clemotron. Well that’s it for now, we are going to work on some more songs. “7th Son out”

The smoke trailing from the tip of my cigarette does the samba through the night sky as I sip a scotch in the moonlight. My thoughts have escape me as a familiar melody puts me in a trance. I’m staring aimlessly, quite possibly not blinking, just staring. The song is sweet, it throws me into a tender memory. I feel the warmth of your hand fitting mine as we walk down the bustling city streets. The air is crisp and reddens our cheeks and we smile because we’re together. You won’t tell me where we are going, it is a surprise. The butterflies in my stomach flutter from your charm. Our favorite low-key dive bar is having an open mic night, and you play my favorite song. I hear your passion weaved through John Lennon’s words, “Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover,” your voice soothes the flutter in my stomach. I cannot break contact with your eyes. The soft blue light cascading over you compliments your attractiveness making my knees weak. / “Last call miss, can I get yeh anything else?” the bartend asks looking down at a glass that he continues to polish. His old wrinkle hands tell a million stories of love and loss. Their rough exterior holds together a fragile old soul. / “No, no, I’m ok, thank you,” I reply, leaving a sympathetic yet compassionate tip under my glass. I gather my self and head on down the street. FUCK love. Rant FUCK. I can’t write this memory because I don’t have any of these. I want a relationship. Fuck. I’m bored. I want to know what it feels like to be in love, and not fake crap. Like, I want to feel what Greg and Mandy felt for each-other. I want the sorrow and the pain. The kind of hurt that makes you sick to your stomach, but at the end of the day you’re still glad to have loved and lost than never loved at all. I’m haunted by a sickening silence and emptiness. My heart is shriveling from a lack of understanding. It wants to experience something more than sex. Something more fulfilling than the physical act of desire. That is all well and good, but I want to be greedy. I want more. I want to kiss you passionately and feel weak. I want to look into your eyes, and not see a past or a future, but a present. I want to be in the presence of an intelligent man who can go beyond the physical and social aspects of “love” or a “relationship.” I don’t have to see you everyday, but I don’t want to be opposed to it. I don’t want to talk to you on the phone every ten fucking minutes, but it would be nice to text once in and a while. I want to be able to watch Star Wars or play GoldenEye and be excited. I want someone to goof around with and tell dirty jokes. I don’t want to get yelled at for kissing a girl friend. I want to lay in bed and smoke a bowl with you and be able to just talk about random things. Your goals, your dreams, the crazy dude you saw in 7/11 or conspiracy theories. I don’t need you to buy me presents, but if I don’t feel good and you bring me soup, that’s awesome. I’m not saying we are going to get married, fuck. And I’m not saying we’ll be together for years. But I want something that is real. I don’t want to lie to you. I want to make pot brownies and watch the Big Lebowski. I want to go have a couple beers and shoot some pool. I want to sit on the couch all day and watch the office. Or maybe take a weekend to go camping and eat some mushrooms, or not. We can just get lost in the woods and discover something beautiful. I want to sip tea and yell about dumb shit that make piercing eye contact and run up stairs for a quickie. If you spend the night, you don’t have to hold me, It’s just nice that you’re there. Valentine’s day is stupid, don’t worry. As long as we can be Irish on St. Patty’s day together. I want you to think I’m pretty, but don’t tell me all the time. I’d rather you kiss me more and say things like that only once in a while. Don’t be afraid to offend me by hanging out with other girls, you weren’t the first guy I have ever met, I have friends too. I encourage you to have strong relationships with all your friends. I don’t want to ever take that away. I want you to be able to talk to me about anything, without hesitation. I want you to look into my eyes and smile because you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else at the time. I don’t want to talk about “if we have kids someday” lets just let the roller-coaster ride pan out on it’s own without adding any loops. I don’t want to argue, it’s not my thing. Don’t be jealous, if there is one thing I would never do, it is to cheat on you. I have never done it in the past, but I lived through miserable adulterating parents. If you randomly happen upon someone better than me, call me and be straight up. I’ll totally not hate you if you’re honest. We can stay friends afterwards or we can go our separate ways. I’ll always remember you, my first love. I just want to say I love you and know you sort of feel the same. I’m sick and tired of dwelling on the past. All the fuck ups I’ve created. I apparently am too unfortunate to have a successful relationship. I think I am finally ready, I think I needed to take time, and be alone to see what I’m missing. It hurts to miss something you’ve never had, because instead of missing a memory your missing a scenario that you create in your head. My whole past is based on what ifs. I want to lay in bed at night and think about what was. I’m over my ego for the most part. I want someone to make me whole for awhile. Nothing lasts forever, as we all well know. I just want something to hold and not think about an expiration date. I want to cry during a romantic comedy because I can relate to the character, I don’t want to cry out of envy for their experience. These love songs I listen to late at night make me want to blow my brains out. I can’t force this love to happen, but I will accept it when it comes. I don’t know who it will be or when to expect it, but it’s about damn time. I want something for real emotion, not my usual escape from boredom. I need someone who can relate to me and enjoy my presence. I want something solid. Something real. Something to miss when it’s gone. Something to look back on and remember, something that makes me wish I could go back and relive it. I want to be spontaneous with you. I want to be honest with you. I want you to know what I’m thinking by the expression on my face. I want you to know me better than I know myself, and I want to know you just as well. I don’t want to be jealous of other people anymore. I don’t want to be tough and act like I don’t want love. I want to fall to mush. It’s hard to be cold all the time. I want to have sex with someone that wants to make love. I want to feel you on every level. I want another half.
