With Christmas here and all the children getting toys, I couldn’t help but think that a line of LOTM action figures might be jus the thing.
Cora doll – comes with an attitude and 10 different complaints.
Alice doll – Push off the edge of a table and try to make it land on a rock-shaped target.
Monro doll – Comes with removable heart.
Webb doll – doesn’t do anything.
Ching doll – throws large blue war club at a Huron target.
Duncan doll – made of asbestos – can be mounted in the fireplace on top of the Yule log.
Uncas doll – lifesize and inflatable – should be quite popular among a certain set.
Hawkeye doll – make like a nutcracker with the handle being the long, flowing hair.
Perhaps others.

Thanks, ladies!  I'm glad my offbeat sense of humor is occasionally amusing to people other than myself! Like Light's tagline says, "I live in my own little world...." 
And, yes: poor Uncas's pasty white skin and chest hair has to go!  Copper 22, eh, Light? Looks like someone's had experience with this sort of thing before!

RED !! That is toooooo funny ! Couldn't stop laughing for a straight 20mins. I must admit the real Uncas doll looks 100x better, almost real actually but this one...well...even though it needs a can of spray paint (copper22) and a shave (epilady here we come!) all in all not bad. But not that good either.
Having not found a replacement for my "idol" Uncas (thanks Fitz) I guess I'll be lighting a Dunkin' doll to this pic instead.
Eh ...it'll do until I get another one.

Like I said, the prototype clearly needs some work.
But I guess that's what you get when you combine two pics using Microsoft Paint because you don't have Photoshop! At least I covered up the naughty bits with a loincloth. Now that was disturbing!  |

We already know he doesn't hold up very well, from what Light has said. Now about that chest hair....
Sorry. Just having a bit of fun!
Geeze Red where'd you get that pic from Not very flattering for Uncas Looks more like a woman with a hairy chest and a loin-cloth Don't think I will be ordering one any time soon  |

Good lord!  I swear I disappear for a week to move to PA and what do I find when I get back?! A lifesize blowup doll of Uncas!  I definitely think the body needs some work, perhaps losing the pasty white skin tine would be a wonderful start. Oh and the chest hair definitely has to go! |

Well they do like to blown things up and you have to blow up Uncas  |

Oooh, the "Lion's Den." Sounds like we better "gird our loins" for serious conflict.  (Or other, similarly biblical-sounding phrases.) |

Good discussion! You may now continue it in The Lion's Den under the thread "The IRA." |

Kudos, Caitlin! I didn't even realize what a great straightline that was, until I read your response!
Well, though the lines of conversation have been interesting, maybe it should have been moved to a different forum? I thank everyone though, for an insightful and diplomatic discussion. It's very refreshing to see different views and taken as such... different views. 
Thanks, Red for recognizing my bit of humor.. I try! |

Oh, silly me. It said handle with care. Well...I gave it all the care it could take so I demand a full refund!! |

Apparently so, if it is going to last for any length of time.

I correspond with some Canadiens on other message boards, and their primary language is French. Some have even appologized for their English not being all that good. They sometimes make spelling errors using a more French spelling of a word, and they will put sentences together as one would in French. (Actually their English is better that a lot of US born people!) I think they haven't stopped being French any more that the Asian Indians stopped being Indian when the British impossed the Raj at about that same time. I could not see them wanting to re-attach themselves to the France we have today, but an independent and French Québec? That's someting to think about!
Oh, and a few other thoughts . . . Monongahela, Choueguen, Lac Sacrement, Carillon, St. Charles, St. Foy . . .

Uh... I'm willing to bet Light's instructions got thrown out with the giftwrap, as soon as she opened the box?!

"I also thought that the second phrase must be a sort of translation of the first. Like Redbird, I knew it was quite "liberal"--I'm a Latin instructor, after all!--and just assumed that there was some joke I wasn't getting. Now I understand!"
--- RedFraggle
OMGosh, Red (which BTW, is the only thing my Dad ever called me for most of our lives) -- if I thought the same as a Latin instructor did, then those poor nuns did a much better job than any of us realized!

Not to take away from the discussion, but I appreciated the explanation of your tag-lines, too, Sarge. I also thought that the second phrase must be a sort of translation of the first. Like Redbird, I knew it was quite "liberal"--I'm a Latin instructor, after all!--and just assumed that there was some joke I wasn't getting.  Now I understand!  |
