Camels! Thank you! I knew it couldn’t be just me.

lololol!!

Okay, I was going nuts looking for camels and Imperial Walkers, because the picture that goes with the tea just shows three red Christmas ornaments surrounded by tea. So I checked the A&D site. Yes! Those are cross-stitch sampler style AT-AT Walkers! LOL! My son and godson are in the 501st Garrison Star Wars movie grade costuming group so that is why this geek recognizes them! But the teacup is just a teacup! I may have to buy this just for the AT-AT’s.

Oh, and your term Imperial Walkers is accurate. AT-AT’s are big, AT-ST’s are the little two-legged ones that look like chickens!

He hee! My husband would be so disappointed if he knew I didn’t instantly think “Imperial Walkers!” instead of “Camels!!” We had to go to all the Star Wars movies at midnight on the release date (since being together as teenagers! We did not go to the ones when we were kids together although we could have. We went to the same grade school and camp and knew each other since we were little). But I digress! I am more Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter at midnight and he loves those things but is more Star Wars and Star Trek at midnight! I remember when the Star Trek movie was released I had JUST gotten over the Swine Flu and taken a huge final and my brain was completely scrambled and I called him to say I was done, and he said “I just bought tickets to the midnight showing of Star Trek! I’ll pick you up at the train, we’ll get a bite to eat then see the film!” It was an eventful day that is for sure!!!!

I was also at the Lord of the Rings midnight showings! Loved the books, love the movies. Never really got hooked by Harry Potter though the oldest daughter loves them and saw all the midnight showings until this newest one, but she is too busy with P.A. school. For the new Star Trek movie, I made my youngest kids watch some season one episodes of the very first Star Trek series so they could appreciate what a great job those actors did capturing the essence of the original cast and building on it so masterfully!

I think I told you that my son and godson have movie grade costumes and do charity work in them. My son is an Episode IV sandtrooper and my godson is am Imperial gunner! Geeky, yes?

This whole thread just warmed my geeky heart! I’m also glad to see that you’re feeling better JacquelineM! :)

ashmanra: we had one of the 501st charity groups in our area come do an event at our library and it was amazing and a huge hit. I hope to have that group back. And yes, I got a picture with Vader (whilst I held a cookie).
