Sonofabitch! I came into this thread intent on making one of two jokes, but Baggins111 and Arcite beat me to the punches, so I will say two weeks ago. We were remodelling a room, and there was dust in the air, so I turned off the lights and used a laser pointer.
36 going on 14 here. Did it last week.
Amateurs! I still have my set of aircraft ground guide flashlights. They are the ultimate flashlight light sabers.
Last week, during the blackout. As soon as I picked up the flashlight, and was impressed to see that it had working batteries, I immediately turned it on and informed the cat that I’ve been waiting for him … we meet again, at last. The circle is now complete.
I shamefully can say I have never done this…
I will correct the situation tonight.
That poor kid!
I was doing “ray gun” flashlight from the days of Buck Rogers. Looong time ago.
I was in New Hampshire, and it was real foggy. It looked like I had a the biggest, baddest lightsaber. I fought with other people. It was fun.
So, a month a ago.
Twelve days ago. I do every time I use a flashlight, I think. Anyone gives me any shit, and OFF WITH THEIR HEAD!
Now I feel really stupid – I never thought of using a flashlight for a lightsabre. All this time I’ve been using those cardboard tubes from wrapping paper. 
Oh do be careful…
That flashlight might have more juice than you can handle!
A couple of months ago, on a camping trip, when I took the flashlight for a late-night trip to the bathroom. I’d never do this with anybody else around.
This made me laugh really hard.
I can honestly say that I’ve nefer done that before. Am I missing out?
Wow… That brings me back to the early 90s, summer camp.
Those work (er, you know what I mean) great too – especially if you’re looking for a little Darth Maul action.
A few months back when, with the aid of a sturdy metal pipe and two maglites (and some of the handyman’s secret weapon, duct tape) I decided to join the ranks of the Sith.
But after a few cursory spins, my funky dual-head lightsabre became a rather deadly maglite launcher…
Needless to say, the only laughter I ever produce when watching the Star Wars Kid video is kind of nervous, and knowing.
Paging Dr. Freud…
All the time, and I’m 51.
Now, who makes the noises also. It’s not a light saber without the sound when you turn it on.
We had a nice TV remote in the shape of a light saber once. I’m happy to say we didn’t buy it, it came as a sample. It made cool noises.
Flashlight? Not only that, but I sometimes use my hairbrush as a lightsaber.
I’m a dork, aren’t I?
I’ve seen that TV remote! At the time, I thought it was corny. Now, I WANT IT!!!
Hey now, sometimes a lightsabre is just a… oh, now you’ve done it…
