Happy Nerd Easter!

What do nerds and Easter have in common? Absolutely nothing unless you are at Target shopping in the Easter aisle and by surely fate alone, come across the best Easter egg coloring kit EVER.

I haven't made Easter eggs in oh, about five years, but this opportunity wasn't one to be passed up. A Star Wars tie fighter made out of a hard boiled egg? CHECK!

Egg Tie Fighter

Real Tie Fighter

The resemblance is uncanny, no? In fact, the egg tie fighter serves as a meaningful metaphor in the fragility of a real tie fighter in battle, one glancing blow and that bastard cracks like our dye saturated egg. Dammit, I just spent far too much time researching ship specs on Wookipedia.

In addition, I am very concerned that tomorrow morning when my roommate opens the refrigerator to make breakfast, that she will one, be terrified by the dairy Imperial starfighter battling the cottage cheese and two, be even more terrified to realize that she is living with someone with full-blown closet nerditis.

Then again, how can you not be proud to be associated with the genius (ME) who created these Easter specimens. I have no doubt that the Geekster Bunny is dying his Imperial Egg arsenal as we speak.
