Teh Internet is Full of Cool Things, Part 19,354: NFL Helmets Redone in Star Wars Universe
So this has been around at least since 2013, but what can I tell you? Ferglutz you, bub, my hyperspatial ramblings ain't what they used to be.
Here are John Raya's reworking of NFL franchises as if they existed in the Star Wars universe. Bonus points on the Greedos' helmet, for the non-infinite regress on the helmet worn by the figure pictured on the helmet (my head hurts), a defining attribute of the old Dolphins helmet (in which the Dolphin wore a helmet whose logo was a giant M).
Go here for the AFC and here for the NFC. And yes, there's a team that involves Jar Jar Binks' grim visage.
For more work by Raya, go here.

We've become jaded to the immense offerings on the Internet. I think it's a worthwhile pursuit to pause a second and point out whenever we find cool, weird, useless, and fun stuff online. Reason has been beating the drum about "cultural proliferation" for years now, and for good reason: We live in an age in which it's easier than ever for people to make and consume whatever they want in ever-more-varied circumstances. That's a real flowering of self-expression and freedom.

The Modells being the Siths is a nice touch.
I've been getting tired of these NFL helmet mashups, but this one isn't bad. I liked the one for the Bucs, too, and will now lobby to have the change made officially. Disney will get a licensing fee and should allow. Raymond James will be renamed the Jutland Wastes. Excellent.
Wait, Star Wars took place in Denmark?
Yes, that I had that reaction when I heard that term, too. Probably not the first time, but somewhere in my teens. Lucas had some odd influences, I guess.
The last time I watched Empire it was a pirated copy dubbed in Dutch with english subtitles. You may not believe it, but I think it was even better.
OT: Texas CPS has neglect finding against it supported by judge. First of all, it is awesome that this parent will get a chance to save her kid from the CPS. Perhaps more importantly:
Brazoria County, obviously this is Ron Paul's fault. Somebody should ask Rand Paul why he abuses children.
Not enough lens flares.
You're thinking of Star Trek Wars VII: The Wrath of Khan, Dark Lord of the Sith.
Needs more back to the future.
In the new version, Luke cuts off Vader's hand...
This has little to do with PSH or Lou Reed!
I'm disappointed.
I feel like I've been let down by the Jawas.
Not a fan of Czech rap? Well, can't say I blame you.
So concussive brain damage is the explanation for those awful prequels?
Speaking of teh Internet drudge is reporting that Clinton had sex with a woman who is actually attractive.
I don't believe it.
There have been a few. Gennifer Flowers was probably okay at the age she was involved with him, and Elizabeth Gracen Ward is certainly attractive. His problem is that he's random, like any hillybilly with money.
Huma Abedin is a bit too horsey-faced for my tastes but to each his or her own.
Butbutbut!!!! Elegance!!

lord, i thought it was talking about Hillary.
meaning Bill wasn't involved.
Hillary gets Bill's sloppy seconds.
The best part of this story is picturing Bill Clinton saying to Tom Sizemore, "Give it to me. You dumb motherfucker, I'm the Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America. The buck stops here. Give me the damn number."
Clearly he would have better ways of getting her number than asking her ex boyfriend for it.
Reasonably certain that even back then he could have simply asked the NSA for it
This makes me miss Regretsy.
These are kind of cool. I especially like the attention to detail like the Star Wars style alien writing on the chinstraps. Little things like that are what makes this kind of stuff awesome..
My favorite cool thing on the internet is alt-text.
