Used a pony stuffed animal.
No. It wasn’t My Little Pony.
Visiting Star Trek Experience in 2003 I had my picture taken so I could get this free:
by applying for a Trek card…I have 3 different ones now (2 expired, oldest on bottom):
What’s in Your wallet?
Atari? We had Odyssey 2. And WE LIKED IT!
I have a Star Trek 5 shirt.
(OK, maybe that’s just sad)
um…What attracted me to my wife was her “Rebel Wear” t-shirt.
I have a Centauri Wig (from B5)
The first time I ever visited Washington, D.C. (the city where I now live and work, mind you) I drove with two friends from Ohio (this was in grad school, in early 1999, when I was living in southern Michigan) to catch the Power of Myth exhibit at the Air and Space Museum. On the PA turnpike we almost got run over by a truck trying to merge into our lane, and all the three of us could think about as our life flashed before our eyes was that we wouldn’t be living long enough to see Episode I (we were young then).
We got lost and drove around for hours on either the beltway or the George Washington Parkway (they’re both loops, but I think it was the GW, cause that is one frustratingly difficult byway to exit from) and didn’t make it into our motel till 1 a.m. or so, and didn’t sleep for another couple of hours because we stayed up giddy, gabbing and making fun of the guy at the front desk.
Not so geeky, I guess, until you consider that I bailed out on a ski trip to visit a woman for this! Yes, I gave up sex to see a bunch of dusty Star Wars props and drawings. :eek:
Okay, maybe that’s just sad too…

Where does one get one of those? Also, pics.
A friend and I play Star Wars CCG, a card game that has been out of print for about 8 years. We still argue about the rules. And I still make new decks.
Please pass this message from me to your GF: “You are awesome. How did you convert the 7.6 cm rule into Barbie dimensions?”
I was coming out of a CVS Pharmacy thie morning and they have those automatic doors.
As the doors opened and closed I made the Shatner “wssshhh” sound (ala Airplane II).
I did it under my breath, but the I’m pretty sure the guy behind me heard me.:o
I cut and hand-carved these out of blocks of pine when I was 12. Some might recognize them as the phaser and communicator from TOS.

Materials used include pine, balsa, brass, some wheels from an old tank model, a chunk of an aircraft wing from an old plane model, a pill bottle cap, and cardboard.
These items served me well on many a landing party mission, especially after I attached velcro to the backs and had mom make me a belt to hold them.
Holy Crap! I love that you still have them! Hmm…I’ve thot many times it woulda been cool if we’d been neighbors as kids. I’m sure we’d have had blast and everything.
But it may not of worked out so well for you. Cuz I woulda stole those beautiful things from you in new york minute. 
The wife says it’s in the closet, but I haven’t seen it in along time. I’ve thought about doing a “dailybooth” with it when I find it. That may be tonight.
Okay, hope I can post this pic without screwing it up!
Here is my Star Wars sleeping bag I got for Christmas when I was 6. The zipper is broken now, and I used a gold glitter pen to embellish one of the C3P0’s, but I still love this thing! My 7 year old uses it on his bed.
BTW, I also played “Hunt the Wumpus”, on my TI-99 computer.
This is my keyboard:

Through a strange set of circumstances I was asked to be bouncer on opening night at the Ziegfeld theatre for Star Wars Episode 1.
If only I had known then what I know now I would have made my job into not letting people into the theater.
I did have R2D2 pijamas as a kid 
Which was a pair of blue shorts with stars on them, and a tshirty thing with R2D2 on the front. They wore out, though, so I think my mother turned them to rags.
Ooh, nice! Very Count Zero.
I’ve always wanted a blank one with braille nubs. (I can touch type, and I figured it’d be a painless way to learn basic braille.)
Well, I’m not going to top a lot of the previous posts (some awesome stuff!!), but I’ll throw one in.
My “Star Wars Birthday”, age 11, 1978. Everything Star Wars! Even the cake! Sadly, all I have left form that stuff are the comics, and that quiz book. That was a great birthday!
Hell yeah! Old skool geeks represent!
The kids in our neighborhood had a fort and a financially savvy kid (went on to work in Wall Street, I think) who convinced us to pool our change at regular intervals. When we had enough, we’d nag a couple adults to take us all down to see Star Wars again. I think we did 12 trips during the initial run.
I have tattoos of 1) the serenity symbol, 2) the final five Watchtower music notes, 3) the angel from Angel Investigations business cards from season one, and finally - the number 144 (the number of episodes of Buffy there are) in roman numerals.
Nice. I remember that X-Wing puzzle…most of the pieces were black. Drove me bananas.
