Me like toys in the office…if you look closely, you’ll note my Darth Maul vs. Godzilla at the far left of [the pic](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Work&mode=&pic=work_04.jpg&picindex=3). 😃 ---

I dig your Jay and Silent Bob dolls. I don’t have a picture of my office on hand. It’s too bad. I actually took a picture of the threesome, but it is not in a digital format nor is it in the geographical location I am currently (which is not IN, thank Dog). My office is a bit overrun with toys at this time. I have two stuffed animals, a barbie, and numerous cows (one of the stuffed animals is a cow). And no, I have no pussies on display. But my favorite toy is a Jesus Christ action figure. I keep him in the box usually because it makes the toy all the more absurd. I put a sticker on it that reads: “with lepar healing action!” ---

Po-tay-to, Po-bite-my-ass. **Hal** right, **harmless** wrong. 😛 Lets break this down by accessories that come with the item in question: Barbie doll: _Pretty new outfits and shoes._ Darth Maul action figure: _Gleaming double-bladed lightsaber of death._ Bratz doll: _Whorish new outfits and shoes._ Jay & Silent Bob action figures: _Doobage, smokes, blueprints for bashing LaFours on the head and destroying the stage._ To summarize: Dolls – Designed to make look all pretty-like, not found on my desk. Action figures – Designed to sit there and look effing cool, found on my desk. In conclusion: San Dimas High School football rules, but not as much as I do. Bite me. 😃 ---

In my office we have a Yoda talking action figure, still in the box. You ask it a question and in it’s best jedi master way, it tells you (in a convoluted way) yes, no, or maybe/maybe not. It’s like a magic 8 ball from Dagobah. 🙂 ---

> [@Hal Briston](#): > > To summarize: > Dolls – Designed to make look all pretty-like, not found on my desk. > Action figures – Designed to sit there and look effing cool, found on my desk. To summarize: Action figures were invented so men like **Hal** could play with dolls and still claim to be macho. 😛 ---

Not promoting it. The following figures are stats. reagarding thread killers. The first list is the high percentages of members only. Naturally the Staff has even highr figures.
