I just have two: Sammy Sosa and Mike Piazza, both gifts. They stand near my computer, and I’m thinking of getting more because they’re so pleasant, just standing there smiling and nodding. ---

I was going to buy that Katharine Hepburn one I saw the other day but then I decided not to. ---

I was in a CVS drug store a few weeks ago and found a Wolverine bobble head. Not the “classic” Wolvie, but the one from his newest series. He looks a like what you’d get if Elvis and Count Chocula had a kid. I stuck it on my monitor at work. ---

1. I wanted to get a Happy Lendervedder bobblehead made, but I researched it and I’d have to purchase something like 5000 of them. Anyone want a Happy bobbler? 🙂 Happy ---

1. Although, I am responsible for the creation of a clay Ray Bradbury bobble head that’s about 12 inches high, full functional, and utterly terrifying. It was a prop a friend of mine made for a movie our group had to make for English class . ---

I have a Bobblehead Jesus that makes me laugh every time I look at him (he looks kinda stoned and the sheer wrongness of Bobblehead Jesus is something funny). He’s next to my Mr. T Celebriduck. ---

I purchased Roger Clemens for my husband, a HUGE Yankees fan. My feelings for Mr. Clemens are somewhat hostile. I punch him in the face every once in a while. For the most part, his head is used for propping the glass door to our stereo cabinet open. ---

Anyone from Chicago will be thrilled to know that I have an Empire Carpet Dude Bobblehead. And he looks just like my father-in-law. Human carpet dude says they go for big bucks on E-bay. ---

None. I fail to see their appeal. ---

I have 5. Mike Piazza (Mc Donald’s Edition) Mark Messier (Game give away) Joey Ramone (cool gift) Unfortunately I also have two NY Islanders (Yashin and Pecca) that I came in a basket I won in a raffle. I still haven’t decided what to do with these but occasionally they become vodoo dolls if the Fishsticks start playing well. ---

I agree with RealityChuck …I fail to see their appeal. However, I was tempted a few months back…I was at Target and they had a LUTHER bobblehead…it made me laugh. _keep smiling_ ---

I’ve never been a coveter bobble heads but hubby gifted me with the cutest Tiger Woods model. It makes me smile. Freaks my dog out though. ---

Steve Nash, the Crocodile Hunter and a no-name Wizards player. The Wizards player looks slightly evil and frankly scares me a bit but the other two are very happy. ---

I have one. It’s that dog from Men In Black, and I believe that it was a prize that my daughter got in a fast food kids’ meal. She decided that she didn’t want it and she gave it to me. I keep meaning to tape it to the dashboard of my car. My neighbor, apparently, is an avid collector of bobbleheads and often is standing in line at sports games, scouring closing grocery stores, etc. in order to find them. When he’s not doing that, he’s wheeling and dealing them on eBay. ---

Where did you get your Jesus, **GMRyujin**? I want one. Please secure your dog to your dashboard with superglue, **Tamex**! I remember when people lost an eye in a fast stop when those magnetic madonnas and St. Christophers were a fad (metal dashboards, too; God, I’m old.) ---

Looks like you can order a Bobblehead Jesus [here.](http://www.mcphee.com/enlightenment/current/10972.html) Never used the site, can’t vouch for anything, but that looks like the one I have. ---

Thanks, **GMRyujin** , you’ve solved all my Christmas shopping worries.
