Last night, while I was making my taco bell run, I stopped at the Toys R
Us next door to the taco bell, to gawk at the Star Wars toys.  I ended up
buying Tiger's 'Lightsaber Duel' game, because it had neat packaging.
(It's QuiGon's lightsaber hilt, with a little LCD screen set on the side
for the actual game).  I won it the first time I played, and realized that,
even though the packaging was cool, and the control concept clever (you
actually have to swing the lightsaber to make the game character do so),
the game was pretty simplistic.
 
This morning, I let the fuzzies out of their cage while I sat down to
peruse my email.  Cinder found the lightsaber where I'd left it, right next
to her ffavorite toy, the remote for the stereo.  She started nosing at it,
and I leaned down and turned it on.  It started making noise, so Copper and
the Sneeze came over to look, too.
 
They started playing tug-o-war with it, and I heard that they were making
the character move (could hear the swinging and clashing of lightsabers),
but I didn't really think much of it... until I heard it give the
victorysound effect, QuiGon saying "May the Force be with you."
 
My ferrets are Jedi Knights!  They won the lightsaber duel on their
first try!  No wonder they can get out of their cage, climb and jump
to incredible heights!  Nothing is safe from a Force-using ferret!

Relax.  The world won't end if your bra doesn't match your panties.
