405th Jokes

[Nightshade]

I guess it's about time I add a few:



You know you're part of the 405th when ...

• You spend fifteen minutes ripping off fake leather from a prop you made four years ago for school because you think you could use it for your undersuit, all while your mom is yelling at you to get your homework done
  
  
  
• You hide a bunch of paper armor in your workroom during parties in hopes that no one will come in and ruin the surprise. And think "WTF?!"
  
  
  
• You spend your first night as a member of the 405th staying up until 3 AM to finish a model which you don't even know if it's accurate or if anyone's gonna like it in the first place
  
  
  
• You randomly watch an IndieMogul video on YouTube and think, "Hey! I know that lady! (And she's really nice!)"
  
  
  
• You guiltily reply "Well, sort of" when your doctor asks you, during your sports physical, "And do you get nine hours of sleep at night?" ... And all you can think of is the big mess of paper pieces on your ping-pong table in the basement
  
  
  
• Your trash-can is always filled with random strips and pieces of paper, and your mom yells at you to vacuum the floor, on which lies hundreds of tiny little white flecks
  
  
  
• You for some reason feel angry at your parents for not understanding just how cool the stuff you're making is, so you have to talk to the Advanced Art teacher to make it a school project so that they will finally think the armor's important enough to drive to Home Depot and get resin
  
  
  
• Your parents begin to believe that thier son has become obsessed with making paper objects, a hobby that they obviously view as a waste of time
  
  
  
• You feel embarassed when you hear your friends talking about Red vs. Blue, remembering that you have completely memorized the entire dialogue in the first, fourth and fifth seasons
  
  
  
• You know more about Halo than the rest of your friends, although you have never owned an XBox and they have played the games for hours on end
  
  
  
  And, to end on a softer note,
  
  
  
• You know you're a member of the 405th when you feel that you sincerely belong to a group of incredibly talented, hard-working, inspiring, passionate and friendly individuals, some of whom you feel closer to than a large number of people at school ...

You know you're in the 405th when...





..someone coming out at your family reunion isn't as tacky as you showing up in armor.



..somebody shifty asks whether or not your armor is bulletproof.



..an intervention is an eventuality, not just a possibility.



..you can f#@k up everybody's day by showing up in armor, with friends dressed in Star Trek TOS costumes, and ask where

the bathroom is at any SCA Renaissance Faire.



..the idea of walking into a hospital or supermarket and repeatedly asking for "Sarah Connor" in armor is entertaining.



..you try to join the 501st with spartan armor, claiming that Halo is in the Star Wars Extended Universe canon.



more to come, if you enjoy these.
