\*My name’s Ken  
And I like men  
But the people at Mattel  
The home that I call hell  
Are somewhat bothered by  
My queer proclivities…

They always stick me  
With Barbie  
But I want you to know  
I prefer GI Joe  
But any able-bodied man-doll  
Will surely do  
Just someone to love, since I am  
Not set up to screw\*

“Ken,” The Negro Problem

OOAK auctions are the best. It seems this seller specializes in nude dolls.

Is it a bad thing that I find Billy kind of hot?

A friend of mines son asked, " Why are there nude headless barbie dolls at everyone’s house we go to, mom."

She replied, " They are plotting a world takeover son."

No, but his boyfriend Carlos might get a little jealous and you don’t want to piss off them Latin mens!  
(I was going to link to a picture of Carlos, but my browser at work blocked the site, citing “Nudity; gay/lesbian; travel.” Travel?)

Barbie/GI Joe party update: Last night, the four original Barbies were joined by 5 additional Barbies. Those are the two happiest GI Joes in the world, I think. One of the Barbies is dark skinned and has crimped, blond-streaked hair. I wish I was GI Joe.

I think it’s a typo: “Nudity, gay/lesbian traval” is what it’s supposed to say. Face it, your browser just doesn’t want you to have a good trip.

Sigh.
