Those who know me know very well by now that I'm a fan of animation. One of my favorite characters is the Bumble from "Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer". I've had the large, posable Bumble pretty much since he came out. In the last week, I've found two Bumbles on clearance, one beanie Bumble and the other a fully articulated, fuzzy Bumble figure. Neither one of them cost me more than $3-in fact, both of them together cost me about $5. Ah, the joy of giving Bargain Bin Bumbles a good, happy home.
I don't know if you've seen the Weight Watchers commercials with "Hungry" in them-"Hungry" is personified (so to speak) in the form of an orange, fuzzy, orangutang-armed, angry-eyed little beast. I totally want one! He's ADORABLE! I have a Bad Andy-(remember him?-Dominoes? Anyone?) and I think that he needs a Hungry to keep him company. If you're wondering-yeah, I've got a Noid, too.
I watched VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs-and I'm still left going What. The. ? SPOILER ALERT! The number 1 song was "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns and Roses. This song beat "Back in Black", "Born to Be Wild", "Smoke on the Water", "Paranoid", "Crazy Train," "Whole Lotta Love", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "School's Out," "Enter Sandman", and "Freebird?" NO FREAKIN' WAY! That is a travesty. Whoever voted the rankings that way should be FIRED. Argh.
Also-Bret Michaels. *Sigh* NASTY! I think it's hilarious that he swears that he's trying to find his true love on a reality show on cable TV. I just want to tell him, "okay, so, Mr. Michaels, you're on the wrong side of forty these days. The trashy, stupid, fake bimbos that you've be catching since the glory days of Poison have not worked well for you. They are not nice ladies. Most of them can't really be reasonably classified as decent people. So, instead of continually scraping the Ho barrell, why don't you-*gasp*-try having the guts to look for a REAL woman. If you look at someone who's different from all the other trash you've collected, then perhaps you will have a better chance at getting the real realtionship that you claim so emphatically that you want."
Alas, celebrities do not listen to people with common sense, and, often, they just wind up holding the Ho bag...
