November 21, 2009: Good News / Bad News

The good news? If you ever watched Empire Strikes Back and thought, "I want a sleeping bag like Luke's tauntaun!" you're going to love ThinkGeek's latest offering.  And at 67" long, it may even fit most adults.

The bad news? Where are you going to use it? You're certainly not going to take it camping, risking dirt or rips. And slumber parties are few and far between when you're old enough to remember Empire in the theaters. Of course, when has "I don't have a use for this" really stopped you from buying a bit of geekery, anyway?

Just call it a prop for your next Traveller game. That'll work.
