Movie you've watched more than six times. It is supposed to be a gif. But I couldn't find a good one, because I'm Soo tired....
Two white males in sweater vests and blue shirts stare into the distance with a wry smile on their faces. It is the movie poster for the movie "Step Brothers" starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly

Happy Thanksgiving.
an amateur drawing of a brown turkey with colorful tail feathers peers into the window of a house with yellow siding. On a table inside the house is a cooked turkey steaming on a table.

Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only
An pale, white bespectacled man peeks from beneath the outline of oversized black helmet, reminiscent of the helmet worn by Darth Vader from Star Wars.

Post a red Transformer
Cartoon drawing of Powerglide, a Transformer who converts between a plane and a robot. This pose shows him staring pensively to his right, with his fingers beginning to clench on his hands.

Drop something 80s
A slightly chubby boy lifts his Hawaiian button-front shirt to expose the belly above his plaid shorts. He has tussled brown hair and an open mouth which exposes his two oversized front teeth. The boy's name is "Chunk" and he is doing the "Truffle Shuffle" dance.

Cooler nights means breaking out the sleepy pants...

3 times on release weekend:
A brown alien with large blue eyes looks pensively straight ahead. He has a slight grimace to his purses lips. The background is out of focus. He is known on earth as E.T. the Extraterrestrial. But in my heart he is the epitome of good in a world that's quick to pass judgement.

Damn, I guess I missed out on a $40 droid that doubles as a platform, plus two action figures and a diorama that isn't related to the OT...

Oh well.

I do not have the space, nor the budget. But damn I just put in my pre-order for this. And then pre-ordered another GI Joe Classified Retro B.A.T. to act as the driver. But maybe I should get another Cobra Commander...I spend too much effing money on things. Someone needs to take my phone away....

He is adorable! My cat, Barney, kissed the screen and then sat down in front of the monitor. Long-distance buds!

Ramen Toys Rev 04 Recoil A-Team Van side view. Ramen Toys Rev 04 Recoil A-Team Van with an open driver's side door. The side mirrors tab into little holes and seem immovable once in place. Take that, Stanley! Ramen Toys Rev 04 Recoil A-Team Van. Rear doors open wide. One could put a lot of junk in that trunk! Ramen Toys Rev 04 Recoil A-Team Van front wheels. They kind of turn. The way Face kind of turns away from the camera in every shot he is in, without really turning away, because, when you've got the look...

Ramen Toys Rev 04 Recoil A-Team Van magnetic spoiler. Neat way to customize something. Though I'm about to magnet this to the top of the van and it will never be removed. Probably. Though Stanley does enjoy going into the toy cave and knocking stuff over and stealing the blasters from all of my Vintage Collection Storm Troopers. And I think he ate the staff from the hand of my Masters of the Universe Origins H.O.A.R.D.E. trooper. So we'll see how this holds up to his vicious little paws and teeth. Ramen Toys Rev 04 Recoil A-Team Van front cowl thing, or whatever it is called. It goes over the front window. Maybe B.A. doesn't like flying because he's too close to the sun, and therefore tries to block the sun from shining into his eyes when he's driving around terrestrially....hmmm. Ramen Toys Rev 04 Recoil A-Team Van grill. Also magnetized. Also "locks" into place really well. Also reminds me I should get one of these for my 14-year-old Ford Fiesta, because that is one bad a** look and I assume the same would be true on my car -- or at least make people not notice the rust and paint chips because they'd be focused on how bad a** my car looks, with a grill and light set like that...

There is no box Stanley doesn't like. So of course, he is the first (and only) member of the family to appreciate what arrived today, on my birthday, even if he doesn't care what was in the box, only that there was a box. And, no, Stanley did not get me a birthday gift. Which is fine, I guess. I don't think he even cares that it is my birthday, since it was the same 5 a.m. wake up pounce that woke me today, just like every other day; because, you know, birthdays be damned, 5 a.m. is when the treats come out of the cabinet, and we can't delay that by one minute, regardless of it being someone's special day. Ramen Toys Rev 04 Recoil A-Team Van packaged in a foam insert. We're getting fancy now! Ramen Toys Rev 04 Recoil A-Team Van foam insert box. Stanley does not like this box. The feel of the foam on his delicate little paws is not something Stanley appreciates. But that is what happens when the whole world revolves around one individual, who cares only about regular boxes and 5 a.m. cat treats. Ramen Toys Rev 04 Recoil A-Team Van foam insert box. And the first peek at the actual prize, tightly wrapped in plastic.
