Christmas Kettling

TK8316 and his gang of merry making troopers were spotted in town doing their part for charity with Christmas kettling for the Salvation Army.

The local 501st Legion will be doing Christmas kettling every Saturday from 2pm to 6pm till Christmas. Its 2 troopers for each shift lasting 2 hours. TK8316 was with his senior the biker scout on the right.

Basically our mission is to attract people’s attention, pose for photographs upon request and encourage passers-by to make a small donation. It’s all fun and most importantly for a good cause.

Lots of nice girlies came up for photos. ^^;


She likes my gun.


Nice but not the droid I’m looking for.


Neither is she.


Nor them.


Aha! Found it! The droid I’m looking for. Mission completed!

Hmm… I must work on doing more poses next. Anyway if anyone is around next town next weekend, please drop by and support us. It’s the season of sharing. ^^;

    “TK-8316, why aren’t you at your post? TK-8316, do you copy?”

  20. 21 Fariz Asuka 1 December 2008 at 6:58 am

    OMG! Its a SAMDroid!!

    At least the Stormtroopers are doing it for the cause. We just need the help of Darth Vader to mind-control more droids to join the cause.. ^^

  21. 22 Ryo-Base 1 December 2008 at 11:20 am

    It’s look pretty much like you’re tried to rob or threat those girls.

  22. 23 FatB 1 December 2008 at 11:21 am

    Did you do “This is my gun, and this is for fun” gesture with the girls? Watch ‘Full Metal Jacket’ movie, if you don’t know what I’m talkin about.

  23. 24 AK 1 December 2008 at 1:23 pm

    Sorry I missed you. Sailing training.

    According to Ron, there weren’t any minders at the event?
