Toy Series #7 "Rushmore +++"

Yow!

Monster George, Monster George,
Stomped the British at Valley Forge...

Well, thanks to the noble chickelit we now have our missing Washington -- sort of! I didn't realize that Marx made different sizes for this figure set...so what one is mine? Curious...

Toy Series #7 "Rushmore -"

The "Rushmore" sessions, Day 1:


Tom: Teddy, Abe

Abe: S'up

TR: Hey! Where's George?

Abe: Yeah, is he late...again? Prima Donna!

Tom: George is in a pitch meeting with Warners on the West Coast, with Chickelit!

Abe: Is it that "Denture Movie" prequel again? No one wants a feature about the ancestor of an obscure Bond villain!

Tom: No, this is Bennie Arnold, Burn In Hell! Probably better with the tween demo anyway.

Abe: Who's playing him? Barry Bostwick? No powder needed for that wig! [raucous laughter]
TR: Hey, that's better than Mork from Orc! Was Russell Crowe busy that week or what?


Tom: or Nick Nolte

Abe: Uhhh... I didn't mind Raymond Massey...but I wouldn't try to kill Cary Grant!


JFK: Fellows, if we need a "Father of The Country", I'll be happy to, uh, fill in!
TR: Dude, give it up!

Toy Series #6

Bully! It's hard not to just automatically say, "Bully!" when talking about TR. A personal favorite of Fluffy Stuffin'. Possibly a Saint of The House of Fun as well? I'll do some more reading before I write him up!

Toy Series #5

Here we have the standing FDR, complete with cape! And in Superman colors, no less!

For Chickelit!

Toy Series #4

Tom Jefferson is pleading his case...or perhaps selling his wares on the Home Shopping Channel!
And no, that is not his Jolson impression!

Toy Series #3

Harry Truman tells a dirty joke! Use your imagination!

Toy Series #2

OK, so I've been nudged about the pics here for the Toy Series, but I couldn't figure out a way to get a clear pic of something so small....but the scanner can do it!

When I was a lad, I got a giant, detailed model of the Capitol Building. This thing was almost 4 feet long! I've lost that over time, but it did come with...a set of US Presidents! These are teeny; they're only 2 inches tall! I still have most of the set...minus some casualties (like Washington) This company was also going to make a White House model, but I don't think they ever did...

I post John Adams today...Perhaps, if people are interested, I'll post a few more Prezs!

Toy Series #1

Well, here's the first of the many Toy pics that will be forthcoming...but, wait, we can't do it!

Here's a picture of George Washington instead...let's comment on the first President shall we?

Teaching...

A very sweet F&G video made from stills.

The Teaser

Yow, time flies! Well, here's my teaser for my "toy" series...


The hole in the box covers the word "Truans", which made this small box of candy when I was a lad, and now contains the "political" toy that you'll be seeing...

Stay tuned!

Christopher Walken on Golf

Golf. My God, that's a mysterious occupation. I know people who are — good friends — who are absolutely smitten, practicing their swing and talking about it. I can understand some sort of sport where your body got a benefit, like marathon running or bicycle racing. That's not golf. And not only that, but the whole business of standing in the sun — my God. That's like torture.

The new phone?

What a Dump!

Bette Davis knows you're there! And your friend Addison deWitt won't help you!

Poor lil' blog...

You think I've forgotten you? I haven't, honest! I've just been busy lately and today is no different! But I stumbled onto a old childhood toy and I'll be having some fun with that here, so stay tuned!

Incoming!

Yesterday....I had a brief hail storm. Here's a quick pic taken as it was falling in my yard!

Happy Birthday, Little Man!

Ol' Big Chin!

All Right...don't make too much fun!

Thanks, Trooper & Simon!

For taking Miss Holloway home! But I want my black satin sheets back, count on it! I'm exhausted... and need a nap! Maybe after a couple of beers...

Careful with those boobs fellas...they're a national treasure!

Hat tip to "Mrs. Vog"

I go Old School from time to time...but how could I go without my bestest friend in the world, Miki?

For you, Sugarpuss...the Mikiphone.

Back Home

Yeah, she may go and visit over at Trooper York's, but Joan always comes back to Fluffy Stuffin'...for the love! Ain't that so, Joan? Yeah...
