Jun. 12th, 2003 08:31 amYou know, I just got back home from work, where I spent the whole night bored out of my mind and staring at the kids' meal toys I've got on the shelf above my desk.
Okay, has anybody seen the Justice League Superman that BK gave away a while back? It's two pieces, and by themselves, they're not bad-looking. Superman's all with the fists in front of him and the flying and the pumped-up muscles. And then he's got this asteroid I suppose he's saving the world from that's orangey and reddish and yellowish and rolls around. It's incredibly playworthy.
The thing is, Supes is intended to balance atop the asteroid with a magnet holding the two together. And where is he supposed to balance? Right at crotch level. All I can think every time I look at the damn thing is that you'd think he would gone to Star Labs ages ago to have that checked out. Sheesh.
So much for having a secret identity with that lying around for all to see.
Also, I was flipping through Entertainment Weekly at work and there was an advertisement for Trading Spaces in it that I liked. Then again, I'm biased -- God only knows why, but I'm still hooked on the bloody thing. So anyway, all of the designers and carpenters are standing in a line in all-white clothes, and Paige has painted a bright red line across the front of them. Isn't she just an imp? (I meant to add "of Satan" after that, but I'm behaving today. *g*)
The reason I like the ad is because for some ungodly reason, it's as if the photographer got a hold of some kind of Twilight Zone-y camera that makes these people look like they really are. For example, Ty couldn't look any more like that car sticker with the Calvin peeing on the Chevy symbol if he tried, Laurie looks like a crazed Kewpie doll all grown up, Gen looks exactly like a Maxim cover model right after she puts her shirt back on, Hildy has her hand behind Edward as if she's shoving something up his ass (knowing Hildy, it's probably hay or eggs or fabric flowers it's going to be hella-expensive to remove), and Kia ... well, Kia looks like the vengeful, shrieking harpy we all know and love.
Not only that, but she's standing right next to (or rather, all over) Vern in the photo.
It's wrong to scream, "Stop touching Vern! You'll get bad designer cooties on him!" at a magazine in the workplace, right?
Right. Thought so.
