The Year of the Live Action Figure



Our four-year-old friend Eliot discovered the "Brett Action Figure" this past holiday season. The resemblance is striking. I don't believe Brett has graced us with a comment. Now would be an appropriate time, Brett.





I was looking through some old college pictures of Jeff. I like to call this the "Jeff Ruxpin action figure." If you put a tape in him he sings "Lonely One".



Aren't you glad you tutored me in the "add a picture" function on blogger, Jeff? TYOTMF'inD is right. You look great.

I had a run-in with Ruxpin in college. Though his lower jaw was missing at the time (maybe from mouth cancer), he still put fear in me like no one else. Almost as scary as the "I eat weiners" chin-nose guy in college. I get shivers just thinking about it.

After carefully reading this post again, did Grandma just say, "TYOTMFinD"? Awesome.

jmac-don't front on the chin-nose weiner roast announcer. he was a product of genius and, sadly, many gallons of midnight oil.

i especially like the spacing that you used between the text and picture. i never knew that you cared so much about that sort of thing.

Point of clarification..."lonely one" is the name of a hit single Jeff wrote in college...not a slam I am making on our beloved friend. If I had a gift with computers I would have loved to have Teddy Ruxpin actually singing "lonely one". Oh well.

John is right. Anybody who has been alone with him for a few minutes knows that the Rux is one intense dude.

I think I speak for Jeff and I both that our blog's purpose is NOT for the primary purpose of entertaining John and Kristen. I just wanted to clear that issue up now, since they seem to think that is why we have this blog. We have to wait for our inspiration, right Jeff?

I'll tell you where you can stick your 80. And you may have enough room for the 20 too. All I'm saying is that Sarah told me about Brokback with pics, and I don't see anything. Bring it!!!
