...nothing says "You're a geek" like a hand-made Princess Leia Sock Monkey.
Key Quote: Princess Leia is probably not a children's toy.
(Thanks to Claire "The Force" Martin)
Update: We don't know what that thing is next to Princess Leia's waist, and we don't want to know.

You're a little short for a puppet.

Why does Leia have three arms?
Posted by: Bryce | May 25, 2005 at 12:21 PM
Bryce - That's what you get when a puppet is "hand-mdae"
Posted by: Brainy Jello | May 25, 2005 at 12:22 PM
Next comes...
Chewsocka!
Sorry.

Bryce, the three hands are to reach the hard to reach areas when she's itchy, I think.
Posted by: Rockchild | May 25, 2005 at 12:24 PM
Doug, don't forget Hand Solo!

Bryce- Sounds like a sex toy.
Posted by: DougDoots | May 25, 2005 at 12:30 PM
It would be so cool if they could make a Yoda Sock Monkey, I think. I just hope it doesn't stink!
Posted by: Rockchild | May 25, 2005 at 12:30 PM
Maybe it could double as one. There are no rules when making Star Wars sock puppets.
Posted by: Bryce | May 25, 2005 at 12:32 PM
ummm...I don't think that's a third hand...looks like the monkey's tail...guess Leia has a little secret no one knew about...'til now
:D

Although you don't want to know what that thing next to her is, I think as a bona-fide Presidential Candidate, you should not skirt the issue.
It is obviously her personal "Light Sabre". Just the thing a girl needs on those long, lonely voyages accross interstellar space. Especially if your Wookie is a Weakie.

Watch out Han! The Storm Troopers are coming!

MKJ
Whatever that is on ebay- I'm buying it
Posted by: gina.g | May 25, 2005 at 12:36 PM
Maybe it's her lipstick, or a can of hairspray.
Posted by: Rockchild | May 25, 2005 at 12:36 PM
Emkay - How do you DO it?
Posted by: Brainy Jello | May 25, 2005 at 12:39 PM
Looking at that Sir Adrian Boult The Planets Odd Weird SEXY Sci-Fi cov, I guess it was laundry day.

Bryce: There are no rules when making Star Wars sock puppets.
This is true, sadly . . .

Brainy J, you made Dave self-conscious about his spelling. Personally, I liked "hand-mdae" better.
"Hand m'dae, mate!"

Bryce - I think you're right. Just don't tell him that "Noiw they're using plastic penises", too.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | May 25, 2005 at 12:45 PM
Thanks Rocks, I'll put it on my 'watch' list. I think these parents just want to have someting to show their kid's dates and mortify them when they get older . . .

Ever see the Bill Murray SNL bit as the lounge singer singing the Star Wars theme?
"Star Wars, nothing but
Star Wars..."
Posted by: DougDoots | May 25, 2005 at 12:53 PM
Doh! Er...glad to help on the Typo Committee.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | May 25, 2005 at 12:55 PM
Current bid is $16.07, which is $16.00 too much.
Lets act as the wonderful blog community we are and drive up the price.
Ready?
Go!

Anyone remember the spoof on Leia having huge cinnamon buns stuck to the side of her head? Was that Gilda Radner?
* calling all geezers *
Posted by: MOTW | May 25, 2005 at 01:07 PM
MOTW: That was 'Hardware Wars,' which came out after the first (fourth, whatever) movie. I screened a 16mm film of it recently, it's still pretty funny. The kids were underwhelmed, spoiled by Comedy Central I guess . . .

Newsflash for the ladies of the blog: The coconut bra has now been replaced with these . . .
That is all.
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | May 25, 2005 at 01:17 PM
A hairy wart? I hope she doesn't have to breast feed!
Posted by: Rockchild | May 25, 2005 at 01:32 PM
ah, mahatma.
marsupial fur for your mammaries.
ick

If that's a Leia sock monkey, then that must be her banana sabre.
Posted by: Robert | May 25, 2005 at 02:12 PM
Dang! That's not Princess Leia in the slave dancer outfit! This will never work with my Jabba sock monkey!
Posted by: DaBlade | May 25, 2005 at 02:31 PM
I have two of those already.
Posted by: Bottom Feeder | May 25, 2005 at 02:38 PM
MKJ - Do they come in mink?? That would be something worth thinking about! :)
Posted by: Eleanor | May 25, 2005 at 03:28 PM
Mahatma, I just went to Victoria's Secret and got a whole new collection of Ipex Coconut Bras, and now you tell me the uniform has changed?
Posted by: neophyte | May 25, 2005 at 03:53 PM
It's a tail.
Posted by: Daniel | May 26, 2005 at 12:57 AM
they should have used argyle sox... and i think, in the sendup on SNL, it was actually carrie fisher, in a guest-host appearance, who did a princess leia thing - as a beach movie...???
Posted by: queensbee | May 26, 2005 at 05:33 AM
yeah - Jeff - but i am guessing that the fare on the geezer bus is Half-price!!
Posted by: queensbee | May 26, 2005 at 06:15 AM
