Flickr set: Tauntaun Sleeping Bag Unboxing.
Back in April, I had showed Viv the ThinkGeek April Fools Tauntaun Sleeping bag and she was like to bust a gut.
So when I saw they were now available (as of Friday last week) I knew I had found the perfect thing to break my no-Christmas gift pledge on.
Much to my profane annoyance, the goddamn thing showed up on my doorstep well after 6pm tonight, on a night when I happened to be out and Viv happened to be home.
So when I got in, Viv is all, “What’s in the box?”
Presuming she’s referring to the smaller unopened Amazon box that came addressed to her, I said something like “How should I know, it came addressed to you.”
So then she’s all, “No, the BIG box.”
Whereupon I’m all what fuckery is this and such because, yeah, now I know what has happened, and I’m pissed, because normally I taunt Viv for a couple weeks with unopened and unlabeled boxes, and this one is BLOWN.
Especially when she reads the ONE INCH LETTERING ON THE BOX: “Tauntaun Sleeping Bag,” she reads. “What’s that?”
Argh, game over. So I tell her to open it. I had the presence of mind to take pictures.
The bag has many stuffed animal parts (arms, legs, head, tail) and all our REAL animals figured, logically enough, that meat it was really a present for them. As you can see in the final shots, Rocket in particular would appear to have a keen appreciation of the scent of Tauntaun guts.
