This is a heavily insulated sleeping bag shaped like a dead Tauntaun. If you don't know what that is, then you need to watch Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (or see link below). Such a sleeping bag may be bulky and heavy, but with all the extra padding, it should be extra comfy and warm if you have
to camp out in a snowstorm.

Scrumpy is a form of cider from the south-west of England.

If you think the linked site is talking rather like a pirate, that's because south-west England was the original home of those story-book pirates. [pertinax, Jan 26 2008]

Thanks for reminding me of something I didn't want to remember, brrrrr... |
|
| |
They would probably get very sweaty with all the insulation in there, and I thought they smelt bad on the outside! |
|
| |
Does it have nice snuggly intestines? |
|
| |
+ cute, um not, but I bet kids would love it. |
|
| |
can't wait to see the expression on the Park Ranger's face when he comes across the campout early in the morning. |
|
| |
...or the expression on the camper's face as they awake to a grizzly trying to drag the giant prize back to her cubs... |
|
| |
I want one. Does it come with an aerosol spray can so you can renew the smell periodically? |
|
| |
Wouldn't a live Tauntaun be a lot warmer? |
|
| |
I thought Taunton was somewhere in New Jersey? (It smells funky too, or so I been told.) |
|
| |
The "proper" Taunton is in the South-West of England, Somerset to be precise. You're probably thinking of Trenton, which does indeed smell funny. |
|
| |
Yeah, no Tauntons in NJ, proper or not. |
|
| |
Shhhhh, they'll all want some. If you think it's good in Taunton, try Cullompton. |
|
| |
I like the noise it makes. I want to curl up inside and ignore the world, and if someone tries to bother me, I'll just squeeze the noisemaker button until they go away.
(Of course, the "dead" Taun Taun shouldn't be making noises, and I have never quite been able to fully come to grips with the concept that an animal suddenly (or gradually, for that matter) freezes to death standing up, and then limply falls to the snow.) |
|
| |
We thought it died of exposure, exhaustion and maltreatment. |
|

Who knows ? Drink the local scrumpy and one loses all sense of direction, not to mention a large number of previously quite useful brain cells, motor control of the lower limbs, commnad of various sphincters, and self-respect. |
|
| |
Good stuff, that scrumpy..... |
|
| |
The only problem with this idea is that you are including the 3 new star wars movies. Which in my opinion don't count for shit. I will bun if you make that simple correction. |
|
| |
//including the 3 new star wars movies// - huh? How do you figure? The idea mentions only one movie, and I doubt [jaksplat] is in a position to force starwars.com to remove mention of their movies from their website in the link. |
|
| |
Wait, what? Dead Collumpton sleeping bag? |
|
| |
There's nowhere on this planet you want that much insulation and it wouldn't fit in a backpack. But it would be entertaining. |
|
| |
There could be an attached pillow inside in the shape of a mound of guts. The zipper would have an attached pull in the shape of a light saber. |
|
| |
Check out the link. The product has the lightsaber zipper pull and uses the head as a pillow. |
|
| |
jaksplat, have you tried actually buying it? This is not the first time that halfbakers have run aground off thinkgeek's shores. |
|
| |
Yes, I know it's an april fool prank. But it's still my idea. |
|
| |
Due to overwhelming demand, the thinkgeeks have added a note to the sidebar on the linked page, promising to try to manufacture the tauntaun sleeping bag for real. |
|
| |
I prefer this one - see link |
|
| |
Various sphincters? Weren't they a 90s alternative prog psycho-dub
duo out of Sweden? |
