No, this isn't a bad attempt at Star Wars fan fiction.  Checked the mail when I got home yesterday, and there was a small package from Dealextreme Wholesalers in Hong Kong. When I opened it up, there was a 6" mini keychain lighsaber that lights up when you push a button on the handle. Strange thing is, however, I never ordered this:   I checked my E-bay, Paypal, and bank accounts to make sure they didn't get hijacked, and everything seems in order. It's got my name and address on the package, but for the life of me, I have no idea who sent it or why. I haven't even bought anything online outside of Amazon for nearly 6 months, so I don't think it could be a mixed-up order. Mrs. Gratch has no idea what it is either. So what's the explanation? Is it a present from a secret admirer in Hong Kong? Or maybe it's a warning that a group of rogue Jedi will be attacking my house! If I go missing in the next couple days, will someone please call the cops? |

 I don't think that is a light saber. I think you are getting hand cancer right now. |

Light sabre? That doesnt even qualify as a light dagger, though it maybe a light penknife. You must be a youngling.

There's a little jedi inside all of us. Yours wants his lightsaber.
Getting it to him could be uncomfortable.

hey, that looks like the lightsaber that came with the Jedi Knight 2: Outcast special edition. maybe it was contaminated with a biological agent and you now have ebola.

That website name both scares and intrigues me Turns out it's a site promoting a coffee-table book of the same name featuring Star Wars tattoos. Some pretty cool stuff. The Yoda on the "sample pages" page is stunning... |

Your ring looks a lot like mine.
Does the center part of your ring have a swirly line going around the band with dots on each side of the swirl. Sort of like a yin yang that keeps repeating itself?

Having watched this 'movie' (thanks to the crew over at Rifftrax), I can only say this:  And to be remotely on topic - I'm guessing the sender got the address off by a digit or two. Or was it actually addressed to you? |
