New Volkswagen Star Wars Theme Commercial Airs

There I was on this laptop computer with Jay Leno playing on the TV in the background.  Then they go to commercial break and all of a sudden - I start hearing dog barks.

Dogs barking in a particular way... A Star Wars theme song.

Then towards the end of the commercial, there is this greyhound dog who is wearing a AT-AT walker costume (i.e. Imperial Walker from "The Empire Strikes Back.")  Then you see a white screen and then the VW logo.

This is the latest entry of Volkswagen Star Wars theme Super Bowl Ad teasers.  Last year, VW scored big with the little kid that was dressed up as Darth Vader.

Want to host a Superbowl party and need a really SPECIAL invite? A invite to the (Dark)Bark side of the Force. Check out the special little ditty Volkswagen has produced for your enjoyment.

By the way, here is a breakdown of the dogs and what characters that they represent.  Back row, left to right: C3PO, Obiwan Kenobi, Stormtrooper. Middle row, left to right: R2D2, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Vader.  Bottome Row, left to right: Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Wicket W. Warrick (Ewok).

Of course, if entire video is not visible on this blog, just click on it and view it on YouTube.

Star Fleet Battles Artwork I Once Did

 

I was wanting to get some artwork published by ADB/SFB but they never purchased any of my ink artworks back in the early 1980s.  Back then, I was a college student who loved wargames and role-playing games.  Be it AD&D, Traveller, or Star Fleet Battles.

I recently uncovered some of these artworks and had a friend scan them for me and they have now been uploaded to my Deviant Art gallery.  See the links blow.  On that website, I go by the handle of "Darth-Deviant."

These efforts were first done in light pencil, then I went back over the lines with ink.

Then movies like Star Wars came out followed by on tv such programs like Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers.  It was a great time to be a fan of science fiction space opera.

Out of This World Theme Brothel to go Operational

This is one of those stories that just makes you kinda grin. Then shake your head in bemusement. And then for others, they get all disgusted with the very notice of sex for sell. But its making the rounds and what the hell, I decided to go ahead and post it on my blog as well. Any excuse to post sexy looking female aliens will not be passed up I have decided as a New Years resolution for 2012.

Seems like there is the brothel owner by the name of Dennis Hof who is age 65 and runs the Moonlite Bunny Ranch. He is friends with the infamous "Hollywood Madam" Heidi Fleiss who has been selected by Hof to design some of the costumes. Her "new" title is that of Chief Alien Design Queen.

The location for this Alien Cathouse is near the infamous Aera 51 which is 90 miles northwest of sin city.

And the type of clients Hof is hoping to attract to this new brothel? quote: The important details regarding the working women are still being hashed out, such as whether or not to paint the women green to resemble Orion Slave Girl characters from Star Trek.

However Hof tells CBS Las Vegas that for the clients he is reaching out “to everyone, all the Star Wars fans and Trekkies,” and cater to all flavors of geek fantasy. end quote.

Heck, he even wants to get Star Trek icon Captain James T. Kirk (aka William Shatner) to get onboard with the project.

LORCS Field gets a Update

The Lubbock RC Oddball Society is getting a face lift this Christmas season!

Ricky got himself a tractor and has been busy! From the pictures, one can see more dirt added to the "mountain with a tunnel in it." The "Ocean" is being dugged out. But next to the tank battlefield is a RC car/truck race course and that is located in between the north/south model airplane runway and the battlefield.

Plan is for a stand to be set up between the race track and the "ocean" for the models to watch their cars and or model boats.
