Nerd "My Tauntaun Has No Nose." "Then How Does It Smell?" "Terrible!"
Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 11:17 AM
Nerds, please take a moment to marvel at the majestic beauty of the Tauntaun sleeping bag:
* Classic Star Wars sleeping bag simulates the warmth of a Tauntaun carcass
* Built-in embroidered Tauntaun head pillow
* Great for playing pretend "Save Luke from the Wampa" games
* Teach your children about the best Star Wars movie ever
* Fits children (and small adults)
Amazing, huh? Sadly, this was an April Fools joke on Thinkgeek. Assholes.
However, there's apparently been such a massive nerd response to the joke that Thinkgeek is looking in to making these things for real. Let us pray.

I want one that sleeps two. Then I can fart on my wife and say "I thought they smelled bad on the outside".

Actually if you'd travelled to Europe and seen Star Wars there you'd know that Tauntauns have a low body temperature and wouldn't have kept Luke very warm at all.

This is not the first time they have made a AFD product that created so much demand they had to make one.

When the meaning of geek change to "a person or group of persons who is/are obsessed with childhood fairy-tales & fantasy worlds?"

Last year they had an 8-bit tie as an April Fools joke that they made for real after they got a huge response.

@8: Zing.
@6: So what do you do for fun? You know fun? That thing that keeps you from becoming bitter and lifeless and... oh. Sorry, nevermind.

@9, usually I hump my wife. I suppose I might be happier fantasizing about a Tauntaun carcass though.
It is clearly logical that I must be bitter, joyless, humorless and lifeless if I don't live in a childhood fantasy-world and instead have actual human relationships. Thanks for helping me think clearly!!

@10 Interesting you assume none of us get laid or have human relationships. Being an arrogant asshole may make you feel like a better person, but it doesn't actually make you one.
