Hot Chicks With StormtroopersHot Chicks With Storm Troopers is a web site dedicated to posting photographs of, um, hot chicks posing with geeks dressed up as Star Wars storm troopers. Or, on Fridays, hot chicks dressed up as storm troopers. Storm troopers with fully-armored boobies. Really. I couldn’t make up stuff like this.

Back when I was a lad I was geeky enough about Star Wars and all other kinds of science fiction movies that I would have happily spent all my lunch money piecing together a storm trooper uniform, if I’d thought that I could’ve gotten away with appearing in public without being shoved into a hay baler.

Now “cosplay” (geeks dressing up as movie characters) is considered a bit of weekend fun that seems to be socially acceptable, plus it’s even possible to find any number of seminaked young women who will pose for photographs with geeks dressed up as storm troopers. This just was not happening at any time in the ten years or so after Star Wars was released in 1977, at least not in Wisconsin.

The longer Star Wars geekdom goes on, the more surreal it becomes. The interwebs seem to be a big help, too. Are we all born thirty years too soon, or does it just seem that way?
