Roomba-D2

So I was recently given a Roomba as a wedding gift. It was pretty dope after I cleaned it out. I mean it's my own personal little droid.

droid....

Nicolai made a comment in a picture on Becky's site about how we own a droid like in Star Wars.

Star Wars....

droid+star wars = R2-D2.

We had ourselves a veritable R2-D2! but he didn't really look like him. How could I fix that?

This is what my roomba used to look like:



This is R2:




And this is what I made tonight:






Thank you Nicolai.

Joe,
In all the years I have known you, that is just may be the most awesome thing you have ever done.
I was going to think of something whitty to write, but I cant...
The only thing left to do is try and figure out what in your apt is like C3PO.

bro,
can you come paint my new minivan? i want it to look like a ferrari.

your droid creation is freakin genius. how far back does this gifting go? the van halen guitar? further? I used to draw cool stuff on my Trapper Keeper in grade school. But you are a jedi master. Likely a member of the high counsel.

for the previous poster.. he could turn his coffee machine into threepeo..

I'm speechless...which really means nothing since I'm actually typing and not talking, but you get the point.

If there was any way I could convince Abby to let me do it, I'd let you loose on Chloe's crib. I'm thinking the Millenium Falcon or possibly an X-Wing would be a suitable resting place for our firstborn.

"Ahhhh....Ahhhhhh" (in that angelic/ethereal voice that they use in movies when they unveil something completely awesome, like the holy grail.) You've done it again Mr. Martha Stewart.
If you took one of those "Which character are you in star Wars" Quiz, you would definately be Luke Skywalker. You just made yourself a droid!
Becky watch out if Joe offers to do your hair and outfit, you just might turn out looking like Princess Leia.
This will be a story I will share to future generations. Every time I am in a "man conversation" this will be my go to story!
"Joe, you're so money and you don't even know it!"

So does that roomba thing really work, or is it more for companionship? I hate cleaning the floor...
