Like the watchmen waiting for the dawn...

Oh, and speaking of The Watchmen, guess what I got this week? No, not a case of herpes, try again? No, not arrested for debauched sodomy. Oh, I can't wait, I'll just show you!


Oh yeah! Yes it IS all 8 of the Watchmen Action Figures. And they are Action Figures, not toys, and for God's sake not dolls. Dolls are soft, fluffy, cuddley things girls take to bed at night. Action Figures are posable, multi-jointed pieces of plastic that boys play with...and older boys keep inside the boxes and never take them out, and only admire them proudly rom the shelf where they've lovingly been displayed for all to see. Action Figures.

At any rate, when I first got them all out on the bed, I almost had a geek-gasm right then and there. They are SO sweet.

Yeah, yeah, I know they cost over a hundred dollars in total, but c'mon, that's WITH my discount, AND I'm allowed to have one vice, right? It's not like I waste my money on drink, or cigarettes, or heroin, or LSD, or marijuana, or cocaine, or betting on the ponies, or on cheap whores (all the whores I purchase are of a more upscale nature), or expensive clothes, or poker nights, I mean, I don't even buy porn anymore since the invention of high-speed Internet! I gotta have SOMEthing to waste my money on, right?

If your only vice is action figures I think you'll be okay. Have fun playing with your dolls. ;-)

Oh - too bad we aren't neighbors. I'd bring Wonder Woman over to play (still haven't taken her out of the box).

The original Silk Spectre looks soooo cool. So do Rorschach and Ozymandias.

You know...hubby has never minded my obsession with Kevin Spacey because he always said I could have worse habits - smoking, drinking, drugs, etc... He'd take Kevin over any of that stuff.

So I understand perfectly.
