Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" Barbie® Doll
2008
Black Label" Collection
More Pop Culture Dolls
Product Code: L9633
In 1963, Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense, gave us a tale of terror not soon forgotten in his film The Birds. Dressed in a re-creation of the stylish green skirt suit worn by the films ill-fated heroine in an iconic scene, Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds Barbie® Doll celebrates the 45th anniversary of the acclaimed film. From the dolls classic ensemble to the perfectly painted expression to the accompanying black birds, every aspect captures the films infamous appeal.

He strikes from below like a viper or on high like a penny dropped from the tallest building around!
He only has one purpose--Do bad things to good people! Mit science! What good is science if no one gets hurt?!"

I wish they had given Barbie a look of absolute horror, instead of "How do you like my new hair accessory?", but that head would have been stolen A LOT and used in some terrible, terrible ways.

Not by me, of course, but ... you know.
He never brought you an unbalanced budget, which is a perennial joke. He never voted himself a wage increase and, to this day, gives back part of his salary every year. He has always voted to preserve the Constitution, cut government spending, lower healthcare costs, end the war on drugs, secure our borders with immigration reform and protect our civil liberties.

Guys, please.  This is not a laughing matter.

It's tragic.

Last Friday I took Sammi to the store and promised her three new Matchbox cars.

She saw some minature John Deere tractors, and I was thrilled.  In fact, there were five, and she told me that it was ok, she'd hold on to the other two for me.  Such a dear.

Then it happened.

She say some #!$!%#$ princess !#$%#$% Barbie.

She put down the cars, and wanted the !#$%$#% Barbie.

I was crushed.  My little girl is growing up.

Sigh.
One day at a time.

Damn.  That sucks.

She'll probably get over it, but it could take a couple decades...

Don't jump to conclusions, Mark.  Maybe she wants them for target practice?

Too bad that more useless consumer products don't come with three attack crows....

You know, I was thinking the other day about zombie apocalypse.

God's used up all the other good world ending disasters, and has pretty much told us he'd never use them again.
So it's either the Large Hadron Collider, or zombies.

At least the zombie one will be more fun.

The LHC would probably be, "oh good morning, hone-POOF"

Oh, no, no, no.  World-wide flood is the only one He's used to end the world, and then promised not to use again.  God reserves the right to wreck your world with fire and brimstone, nuclear holocaust, plague of ten-foot soul-sucking leeches, or even hordes of soul-eating Keith Olbermans.   shocked

Dear Lord, how could we ever defend ourselves against hordes of soul-eating Keith Olbermans?    shocked
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Visualizing this scenario:
Hordes of soul-eating Keith Olbermans to the left, an army of undead zombies to the right...me on the nearest rooftop with a bucket o' popcorn.

Amelia got her first Barbie this week from one of her Grandmas.  Her 3rd birthday is next week.  She's been incessantly brushing its hair.  She's getting a tea set and a table for her bedroom.
Of course, if I go ask her to go fishing right now, she'll say "Yes!!"

Yeah, well my little girl (5yo tomorrow) likes all that AND likes guns, so nyah nyah nyah. Cheesy Wink

When she gets a little older, I'm going to buy her a pink Chipmunk 22lr.

Maybe he'll just choose "all of the above" to make sure.

Actually, one of the reasons I built my AR with a collapsible stock was so it could be adapted to her when she gets old enough to shoot it. Cheesy  I'd even paint it pink if she wants it.  I'll gladly take a pink AR to the range if I can proudly proclaim it belongs to one of my daughters.

You could do that now and proclaim it belongs to Mike....  grin
