Last Saturday, we told you about how there's a gigantic AT-ST Walker for sale on Ebay right now. It's still there, but why sell such a masterpiece in the first place? Because your girlfriend is freakin' sick of having it around.
The AT-ST's owner, Martin Fillery, explained the situation to the Daily Mail:
"I think my girlfriend is starting to get a bit worried about me. I've always been a bit mad, and I love sci-fi stuff, but my spending on props is going through the roof. ...The Scout Walker is amazing, but I realised pretty quickly that it was just too big to use as on stage, so I'm selling it so I can get more toys."
Those toys he's got his eye on? A batmobile and the ambulance from Ghostbusters. Seems like something of a lateral move, but what do I know; I've never owned an AT-ST.
But the moral of the story is: she's probably right.
He has a girlfriend?
Time for a new girlfriend.
(Maybe I’m kidding)
Read the comments at the link. Someone said the same thing!
He might as well have a circumcision right above the gonads, since the GF will bore of that soon as well (especially b/c his gonads are the size of peas).
Penny's comment was great: "That looks like something that Elton John would drive through the Everglades".
Just came across this about The Big Bang Theory show.

Along the same vein is this - perhaps the funniest thing Conan O’Brien ever had on his show while on NBC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zWNJHS9PBE
You’re not the only one surprised: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zWNJHS9PBE
The number of people who, in a Venn diagram, would intersect in the populations of “No longer want my AT-ST” and “Need $15,000” would be very small, but getting rid of it because your girlfriend is sick of it is still no excuse
And yes, that's a carburator soaking in solvent in the bathroom sink. Please don't smoke in there.

Oh, please. What's the difference between an AT-AT, an X-wing, and a girlfriend?
You can always get another girlfriend.
Heh. +1.
Along with her hair.
That was absolutely ruthless; I loved it. I haven’t laughed that hard in some time. Thanks.
actually it looks more like a cheap porn shot...not that I would really know.
"why yes, that's an AT-ST walker in my front yard, you got a problem with that?"

I getting rid of mine too. The maneuverability is great, but with a growing family I need a smoother ride.
I’m looking to uptrade to an Imperial Walker or possibly will consider a Battle Mech Atlas.
Hurry - this deal won’t last.
