Well? Should I?

Can you see me wandering around the streets of Sydney dressed like this? Imagine commuting to work, or buying my groceries in Coles...

It would look something like this (only without the plate of biscuits):

I think you should forget the costume and just hold the biscuits, you'd get more looks that way.

Why can't you just buy a suspender belt like a normal man ?

I had this terrific idea not to long ago!

You know when you go skiing and everyone is on the snow in stupid outfits - wigs etc.

I ski with a group of guys and I suggested that 1 of us gets the Darth Vader constume and the other 12 get storm-trooper outfits!!

Can you imagine Darth out there on the snow with his foot-soldiers!!

I think you not only need to buy it, but it wold be insane NOT to!!

That's where this idea came from - I had the same idea when we went to Thredbo a couple of weeks back, and I suggested it would be great to go skiing in a Snowtrooper costume!

Great minds etc...

I can just imagine you on the home run trail now!

Maybe i'll see you in the snow soon then??!

I ski for 5-6 weekends a year (usually at Perisher but if the conditions are right I'll give Thredbo a whirl). One does like those runs through Merrits!!

Well, most of us now have girlfriends so the trips are usually about 50:50 now!

But there is always room for a 'boys only' trip once a year!

Princess Leah outfits...now you're talking......

(not for me obviously)

Definately. i know I'm sad bit I have always thought thata stormtroopers costume is the ultimate for fancy dress (or just to get rid of unwanted guests at parties)

Being short - I'd have all the chicks come up to me and say the immortal line:

"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

Get it mate.

I voted no, just because nobody else has and I'm a contrary mare.
