Strange Things You See at a Thrift Store: May the Fourth be with you edition

Hey, long time no see! And for good reason. Turns out working three jobs at the same time keeps you kind of busy. (Surprising, right?) I do have a few stories to share once I can squeeze out some time, which will be easier in a couple of weeks when school gets out and I don't have orchestra anymore. But in the meantime, I wanted to have a delayed Star Wars day celebration by showing off some of the more bizarre and funny star wars t-shirts we've gotten at the thrift store.


I might have posted this one back in Halloween, but we'll bring it out again for that small subset of people who are fans of both Star Wars AND Haunted Mansion. 


This is obviously photo-shopped: no way Vader can use a touch screen with those gloves on.



I know some people for whom this would be persuasion enough. 



Can you imagine running into a proselyting Sith Lord as a missionary? Probably ten times as awkward as running into the Jehovah's Witnesses. 


OK, this isn't even a weird thing: I honest to goodness want this BB8 dress in my size and with sleeves. Maybe I can make one?




This one is mainly funny to me because I can remember selling these shirts at Walmart four years ago. I have spent more of my life than I care to think about organizing men's t-shirts.




I feel like you're mixing your murderphores, there.

I've mentioned before there seems to be a restaurant called "Chuy's" which sells Mexican-food themed Star Wars shirts. Here's a couple more examples of their work. 




On the other hand (ba-dump-tish!) , this shirt is a little more... impressionistic. 



Gotta hate those too-late realizations.



This one's for my Mom. And anyone else who speaks enough French to know what line is being quoated here. 



WARNING: Darth Vader might not be suitable for ages 3 and up. Choking Hazard. Contains small parts and a large temper. Always keep in a well-ventilated area. Batteries not included.


Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying your spring. I'll be back sometime soon with some more updates. But in the meantime:
