star wars hat image

Okay, so I know this question's weird, but every year my band does a Halloween parade, and sections dress up in section costumes. Well my section (lows) is doing Star Wars, and I'm supposed to dress up like Padme. Only problem is, we have to be in full uniform, which is long pants, a jacket with a one shoulder cape, and a hat with a plume... and I have no clue what to do. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Answer

What is the funniest thing that you have passed down to your kids?
Q. My son LOVES my old Star Wars bed sheets from 1977. They are half worn out and faded but he just loves them.
Answer
We passed down this baby rattle that was mine when I was a baby. It is plastic and round with a smiling girls face on it. On the bottom of it, it had a suction cup so that you could suction it down to a table or highchair and it would stay in place. We found out that it still had plenty of suction when my husband decided to stick it to his forehead and pretend he was a unicorn. My daughter was maybe 5 or 6 months at the time, so he was trying to get her to laugh. Well she didn't respond too much to it and when he went to try to pull it off of his head it was stuck! So of course I was laughing and I reached up and pulled really hard and it popped off, leaving a perfectly round red cirlce on his forehead(created by the suction) that lasted for a good 3-4 days. I laughed so hard at him, but he was not amused. He had to wear a hat to try and cover it, so he wouldn't have to try and explain it to people. Just a little embarrassing.

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
Buuut, does anyone know of any more good or funny tricks?? =) Thanks you!
Answer
Darn, the Star Wars is the one I always add to these questions. I guess the best are OS specific. I don't use Windows, but back in the day when computers used DOS, I would change the prompt in the autoexec.bat at stores to something like C:\Walmart Sucks>. Something like that. It would persist even after a reboot.
As for Dabian based Linux (that is all I use, don't know about Fedors, Red Hat):
I have this:
function say() { mplayer -user-agent Mozilla "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=$(echo $* | sed 's#\ #\+#g')" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; }
In the .bashrc file of my kids computer. This way I can SSH into it and type "say time to brush your teeth" or whatever and it will say "time to brush your teeth" through the speakers (after running alsamixer and raising the volume).
Or even better (not that I would do it to my kid):
amixer -c 0 sset Master,0 100%; mplayer /home/whoever/.scream file; amixer -c 0 sset Master,0 20%
This way you can SSH into their computer (it raises the volume), run this command and it will play that file. What would you do if your computer, out of the blue, did this:
http://www.shockwave-sound.com/sound-effects/scream-sounds/cri-d-effroi-scream.wav
(raise the volume)
Or this:
export DISPLAY=:0
xmessage 'YOU ARE BEING WATCHED. MUHAHAHAHahaha' - or whatever you want it to display.
In Linux the terminal is a powerful tool.
