PEZ.
Do you really have your heart set on gluing him shut? I think it would make a great Jello mold.
If not that, I like the oil-and-water idea. Blood-red and bile-green, and you could shake him up and watch the colors settle.
Or maybe one of those shake-up snow globes.
I like the Runts and Nerds ideas best.
Is there any other kind of candy that’s small like that? I’m thinking one shaped like little men would be perfect.
I’d suggest Flintstones Vitamins but those’d be kind of expensive to fill the whole figure.
There’s a kind of doggy snack called People Crackers. Little firemen and mailmen and paper boys and vets. They’re about an inch long.
How about potpourri? Drill a couple of small holes and he’s an air freshener.
I was thinking about my Runts idea…just think, you could place bananas as ribcages and other parts of the anatomy, and have a bunch of limes for the brain, and cherries for the eyes…I think that would be a lot of fun to do! Fruity anatomy!
Any idea where to get shredded money? Remember those pens (from what, late 70s/early 80s?) filled with $1M in shredded US currency? Break apart a few pens, fill him up, and then you could have the Six-Million Dollar Visible Man**.
** Give or take a couple hundred thou.
Paint balls?
If ever a thread title begged for a smart-ass remark.
Let’s see…
Those little plastic G.I. Joe guns
Flower petals
fake pearls
staples
ink
condoms ::wink wink::
ribbons
That was the best I could come up with that wasn’t already taken.
They might only be letters, but would alphabet beads work as a source of vocabulary?
Little, tiny, itty-bitty seashells. My sister got me some from a touristy shop in Wisconsin. They’re very pretty.
If he was my Visible Man, I’d fill him full of grit.
How about taking that colored beads suggestion and making him a Visible Rainbow Flag Man?
(BTW, when I saw that the last answer in “What Is Mr Visible Full of?” was from lieu, I was quite concerned!
Okay. I finished it.
I found my inspiration somewhere between lel’s suggestion of shredding Cecil’s columns, my boyfriend’s suggestion of filling him with words, Screech-owl’s suggestion of shredded money, and Polycarp’s rainbow flag suggestion.
Late, late one night, when the hamsters were resting, I did a search for my old posts. I found the first few hundred, and copied and pasted them into a text file, in all different colors. I then printed it out, on thick paper. I ran the pages through the shredder. And I took the little strips of sentences, and stuffed them into the little plastic guy.
So now we know the answer. What is MrVisible full of?
He’s full of himself.
So cool!
Thanks, Ginger!
I think it makes him look creepy, but literate.
Looks cool; good job.
And my keyboard is now full of coffee.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love it.
Sweet!
Great job, MrVisible!
Way cool! Jake even, to throw in a Rueism.
Looks great MrVisible!
