Okay, Comic Relief is coming up (March the 11th) for us in the UK (and maybe the World, I don't really know)
and what are YOU going to do on it? Remember, this is for charity so it doesn't matter how old you are or what you do go nuts. I've decided 'what the hell' this year and am going to take part.

What am I going to do you ask? Well, I call it project Darksabre but in laymans terms I am going to get a full Darth Vader costume.

EDIT: Here's what the costume I will hire out will look like.

I already have made note of a local fancy dress shop a few towns down, but I still need help on:

The Voice, I want a mad Vader voice amp. Anyone know where I can get one of these, either in the UK or online?

An angle: I cannot decide to be serious Vader or Episode III: A lost Hope Vader.

Something to put on this!: http://sequential.lunarpages.net/Emperor_Stationary.jpg

Feel free to give me and other people planning stuff suggestions.

Look's quite bulky.

Ahem?

Don't screw with this holiday.  It is on my B-Day.  Just goes to show I'm nerdy.

Sure, I once gave some blood...

Some guys...

I've never heard of these voice amp thingies, but maybe you could do something like tape a bunch of Vader quotes, and just rewind and play for people to think you can actually do the voice. Or you could just try the Vader voice yourself. Bad impressions aren't too hard. 

so Nurdy dressing up raises money for charity how? people pay him to stop?

Charity Velour, I thought you Catholics knew what it was. For the unlucky children in life.

I'm not the only one, but I want to be original. Everyone else is going for a mild overused idea (Dyed Hair) or an overused one (Males in drag, Girls dressed as slut etc).

I've also always wanted to do this.

Tweek: Thanks.

Funny enough, one of my younger cousans was born on Red Nose Day too.

Perfect excuse to corrupt him and bring him to the geek side.

I might ask if I can have two Lightsabres from the costume shop, so people can dual me and see if they can win.

Yep.
*Giggles at the though of hitting people on the head with his Lightsabre*
Now to find that blasted voice amp...

Nurdy, I know what charity is, duh. I've just never heard of your crazy UKian holiday and I don't understand how it works. I don't make fun of you for not understanding American stuff like... um... deep fried twinkies.

Velour: We have something like that, though Marsbars may be different.

Melll: It's on my College Campus.

Speli: I go for the eyes, they least expect it.

There's your answer.

It's a chance to act like a complete idiot for an entire day and have an excuse. That's good enough.
I think Australia needs a bit of this "holiday".

Their.

My question was, what exactly are you doing - walking around with a collecting bucket?  Getting dressed up as Vader doesn't qualify you for a donation, in my book. 

You should dress as a nazi, and say you're dressed as Prince Harry. 

My point is, in order to seperate you from the prolls at your college, you should have some kind of sponsored challege, like seeing how many tutors you can whack with your light saber, charge a quid for each.

There's nothing funnier than mindless violence towards authority figures.

Vader voice kit: But it requires that you whip out the soldering iron. Also, I don't know if it'lll ship to UK.
People tend to like this kit better if you get some foam for the mic and some cloth to put in front of the speaker.
A suggestion: Get some portable speakers and an mp3 player with the Imperial March, so you can play it while you stride onwards. (The height will add to the comic value)

Hehe, sure thing.
