I love I LOVE TOYS... and I surprisingly don't hate the new QUEEN

[thehefner]

Oh VH1, just when I thought that since you'd exhausted all your best and most lucrative decades about which to reminisce, you come out with I LOVE TOYS. Just like the previous I LOVE ____ shows, this show is pure sugary empty crack. And also, I want to have geek sex with Rachel Harris. Seriously, there's nothing quite like a cute girl with glasses who has a sense of humor and can geek out about toys.

Although I have to take issue with something on the show. Ok, look, I know I didn't grow up with the 12-inch Kung-Fu Grip GI Joe, but seriously, you *do NOT* step on the 80's tiny GI Joe figures. Duke, Flint, Scarlett, Road Block, Destro, Doctor Mindbender, Zartan, Baroness (*swoon*), Storm Shadow, motherfuckin' Snake Eyes, COME ON! Kung Fu grip? Snake Eyes has a goddamn katana blade, moss-beard!

In a completely unrelated note, PBS is airing a concert of Queen with new singer Paul Rogers. At first, I was wincing the entire time because, let's face it, it's not just that Paul Rogers isn't Freddie, it's that Paul Rogers isn't QUEEN. The guy isn't theatrical or flaming or anything. The singer of Queen needs a theatrical flair, not the singer of frickin' Bad Company (and I like Bad Company!).

That said, uh, they are putting on a hell of a show. They really know how to rock the house, proving it really wasn't just Freddie (and I am one of the few defenders of Roger Deacon's singing) that made the band awesome. My Mom is KICKING herself when I broke it to her that they were in town *literally* last night. Now she's plotting going to Philly to see 'em without me (as I will be working).

Me? I'm thinking about dropping Pittsburgh-gal bloo_mountain a line to see if maybe she'd like to be my date for the March 20th show...

I loved I love toys. Seriously, when the aired the bicycle segment I got a happy rush that I hadn't felt in years. I think I'm gonna buy a bike and go cycling around the city, once the weather improves.

...first I'ma buy some Play-Doh though. (just to squish it in my hand and inhale its wonderful scent from time to time. Is there a happier smell? Ooh! And do they still make the McDonalds play-doh set? I used to make little play-doh burgers with the molds, and brightly colored little fires and...)

The thing that pissed me off was the lack of Playmobil toys. I guess those were more of a UK/European thing I guess. :/ The whole show was US-biased though. Shoots and Ladders? Nu-uh, when I played it it was called Snakes and Ladders. And it's Cluedo, with Reverend Green thankewverymuch.

Now I feel like a bad fan. I had no idea Queen had a new singer.

So i am assuming you are not going to the play tonight.

Sorry, i was not on much yesterday. After I got home from work Kimmy and her friend came over and then i went to Mel's until late.

See, I've never understood that. Is Cluedo even a real word? *rhetorical/too lazy to check dictionary* And besides, come on, there wuddint no REV Green played by Michael McKean who said, "Now I'm going to go home to sleep with my wife!" That was Clue all the way!

And also, I know it was Snakes as well, but sliding down a snake makes less sense than a chute. I mean, what, if you landed on a snake, did it eat you and poop you out at the end?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Yeah, not tonight. Mayhaps later.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Yep. Bizarrely enough, the singer of Bad Company.

the Boxer Bandit strikes again!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

But the question remains, is the Boxer Bandit friend or foe? Did he or- dare I speculate?- SHE de-boxer this man (with the Bandit's abilities to yank off someone's boxers without taking their pants off first. Just like Abraham Simpson) to foil his plot? Or is this Willever person just a thug, a lackey, a PAWN in a far-greater scheme by... THE BOXER BANDIT?! Just wait, soon J. Jonah Jameson of The Daily Bugle will put out an editorial: "The Boxer Bandit: Threat or Menace?"

What we do know is that Panty Lad really, really likes girls' panties.

...and of course, my brain saw "Bad Company" and veered off at a 37 degree angle to start internally playing "Bad Medicine". Hm.
