Also from the toy article:
Warner Brothers hopes to “reinvigorate and reimagine” Bugs Bunny and Scooby-Doo through a new virtual world on the Internet, where people will be able to dress up the characters pretty much any way they want.
I could not possibly care less about Scooby-Doo, but HANDS OFF BUGS.
Wasn't that the one dubbed Cock Ring Ken?
I never had a Ken doll, but I had a kick ass barbie with really long, crimpy hair. Does anyone remember her name? Apparently (not verified), she's now collectible. If intact. This would be helpful if my babysitter hadn't given her an impromptu haircut once upon a time.
Additionally, my coworker brought in all kinds of devilishly delicious treats that are very, very indulgent. Then she proceeded to open all the naughty little packages up and left. Bitch.
Now I'm compulsively eating licorice (the unnatural, red dye kind).
That was indeed Cock Ring Ken.
HANDS OFF BUGS
Bugs never had any inhibitions about dressing up...
Bugs in drag = aces.
Bugs reinvigorated and reimagined for a new century, as worked over by a jillion People With Ideas on the internet = RUN AWAY SCREAMING.
sigh ... I had one of the early Barbies - blonde ponytail, blue eyeshadow. My mother threw it away (although ... a year or so later she found out the thing was worth real money and has been regretting it ever since).
Yay! We have a diagnosis! Pico has a retrobulbar abcess, which is an abcess behind the eye, making it painful to open his mouth. They are apparently pretty rare in cats. They've given him an agressive course of antibiotics, and they are hoping they won't have to drain it, because that will require anathesia.
Hurrah for Pico with a treatable diagnosis!
I'm going to a convention in Silver Spring
But, but . . . I live in the next town over.

I have to say, it is lovely sitting here on my front porch right now -- nice breeze, happy puppy playing in the yard (translation: puppy is digging up my garden and I'm pretending not to see her)
I just made dinner from CSA vegetables. Pac choi, garlic scapes, carrots, and tofu stir-fry, with scallions sprinkled on top and brown rice. Pretty good, though I put in a bit too much soy sauce and it ended up too salty. Now I'm deciding between yogurt with strawberries or a frozen mango pop for dessert.
