    The face on the first one is pretty good, but that is one ill fitting suit. He wouldn't be caught dead in that thing.

    I must say that the sheer lack of awesome toys these days brings me a great deal of sadness. Now we're so worried about our larvae cutting their precious little cookie grapplers on sharp corners and denying Darwin his comeuppance when one of them decides to gnaw small parts out of toys and swallow them.


    We need more diecast toys. Maybe ninjas should come with actual metal swords, and have life-sized ninja stars in the packaging. It would be a brave new world, like a modern day Agoge, and only the strong will survive, and collect these ferocious trinkets of childhood, and return, as our kings and queens.

    @Jrsy Devil's Food Cake: Right now, Lucas is probably selling pieces of his soul in mason jars on ebay/craigslist. I'm also certain that he's selling his blood, claiming that there's midi-chlorians in it.

    @Jrsy Devil's Food Cake: the exchange rate is as follows:

    1 obama = 10,000 palins

    1 obama = 666 mccains

    1 obama = 12.5 sec. of clapping and grinning.

    1 obama = 1/2 a mcdouble and a small fries at Mcd's

    1 obama = 1 euro

    1 obama = about $1.79

    all in all the obama could get you not too much but enough to shut you up for approx. 100 days.

    The amount of celebrity worship here is alarming. I mean, I voted for the man too, but the day after inauguration I settled down to picking apart his every action and being miserable again. It's the American way!

    The one with Obama asking for your change is probably the most realistic one there. Soon we will all be living in tent cities and drinking dog piss out of rusty hubcaps, at least according to [www.f2bb.com]

    @Snapper: Right, it being a mobile designation. However the two main planes designated to carry him are 747's.


    Where as that model looks like something they dredged out of the Hudson.
