Aug 27 2008BEEP BOOP BEEP: Ultra-Rare R2-D2 Fridge
This R2-D2 fridge, one of only 1,000 given away at Japanese 7-11's back in 2002 as a promotional prize for when Attack of the Bones came out, is now for sale by ToyEast. The trashcanny droid can both cool and heat your meat, but asking price is a staggering $1,070. So yeah, a little out of my price range. But I did just call up a Jawa buddy of mine and told him I'd pay upwards of $40 for one in good condition. Then I threatened to gouge those glowing eyes right out of his freaking head if he doesn't make it happen. Shifty little bastard stole my toaster once.
Hit the jump for one more picture of the handsome devil.

I should buy one and add it to my "Overpriced Shit That Guarantees I'll Never Get Laid - Ever" collection. Sweet.

Remember, money can't buy you love. But what it can buy, is things that will make sure that you never get any love, so think before you buy.
Oh wait. Forgot about hookers.
Buy away man, buy away.

Ironically, i posted in this thread... then went and read the next "game boy," one. I would call that really ironic, but that would be the wrong definition of irony. So it's one hell of a coincidence.
Enjoy the herpes tho.

They itch like a mother. I'm sitting here in my office scratching my junk furiously.
UPDATE: Secretary came in, gave me some medicated lotion. Her name is Susan. We're herpes buddies now.

Sadly enough, i once worked as a manager for a VERY prominent software company, and had to write a gentleman up for "continued excessive and extreme scratching of the genitalia in front of the the female quality assurance team." Several of them had gotten together and filed a complaint. (I wish i was making this up. Especially at the time i had to sit him down and explain it to him, face to face.)
So be glad she didn't go that route.

i'd rather cut open a R2D2 trash can, stick a firdge in there and save myself $800 for a beer fridge that holds like 3 beers.
