Ducktales in Arabic
January 27, 2010 – 3:56 am
Again, posted this over at the video.amusedme.com site, but again worth a repost, and I think it fits into the geek/childhood retro category well enough to be worth a post here.
Totally immature and ridiculous, but the sense of incongruity I get from watching something so from my childhood and yet so different just makes this video hilarious.

Posted this over at video.amusedme.com and although not strictly a geek thing, it’s so goddamn funny, I think it deserves to be posted more than once.

New Era Star Wars Baseball Caps
January 25, 2010 – 6:15 pm
In the latest round of crazy Star Wars related merchandising, the Japanese branch of baseball cap manufacturer New Era has released a series of Star Wars themed baseball caps, including leather and shiny metallic representations of Darth Vader, R2D2, C3P0 etc.
They are a little pricey at around $50-60 U.S. each, and I don’t know if I’d wear one out in public, but definitely an interesting piece to have in the collection =)
