Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
"Mountain Research"? Okay, their DAFs (Dictator Action Figures - Maybe Henry Thoreau shouldn't be rolled in there, but there he is, courtesy the Mountain Researchers -) are dressed up for mountain climbing; they even have their packs. If Mountain Research is trying to tell us the world would be better off had at least three out of four of those characters actually gone mountaineering, instead of doing their durndest to ruin billions of lives, I'd tend to agree.
ReplyDeleteDoes the kit come with little signs and slogans to incite the proles?
My GI Joe figures can kick their asses.
ReplyDeleteI can barely picture Thoreau climbing a mountain- but he'd demand a cook, valet, and laundry lady to go with him. (His "retreat" at Walden was well catered.)
ReplyDeleteLenin would consider it beneath his dignity. Marx would be too busy getting drunk.
And Mao would want a sedan chair with several strapping Red Guards to carry him up the hill. And he'd need it, too.
