Sick Day

hurl

Just a few quick things…

  • I’m recovering from a 24-hour bug that kept me up all last night, so there probably won’t be many updates today.
  • Doing five “It Figures” per week has turned out to be a little too ambitious, so from now on there will be a new one every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon.
  • I watched G.I. Joe: Resolute over the weekend and will get a brief review up later this week.
  • Also coming this week: a review of Action Figure Displays‘ new, 30% taller displays and possibly Bandai Movie Monster Series Hedorah (a.k.a. the Smog Monster)

    It's from an old WWF "Grapple Gear" set…there was a trash can and a dumpster too.

    Glad you're feeling better!

    So where/what is that toilet from? Was there a Trainspotting action play set that I somehow missed?

  3. Poe

    I don't have swine flu! Well, not as of right now, anyway. Can't say about the future. If there's a pandemic or something, it might be hard to avoid.

    @Ed: Dr. Mrs. Ghostal loved the "mcfarlanesque clamshells."

    @Jim: Trust me, if I'd been given a super soldier serum, I'd have a more trim gut.

    Did i mention Poe slightly looks like a young steve rogers…he's feeling the side effects of the super soldier serum. He'll be benching tanks by tomorrow!:)

  5. tornado eater

    Get well soon.

    The word everywhere is that Poe has swine flu? Don't die, Poe!

  7. Jim

    @ED:"mcfarlanesque clam shells"

    LOL

    @Jim

    I think she's trying to find a cure for the Action Figure virus that causes obsessive erratic consumer behavior but sadly I think Poe is too far gone. His white blood cells are now encased in mcfarlanesque clam shells.

  9. Jim

    @Poe: a scientist??? Hmmmmmm….I wonder if she's secretly preforming secret experiments on you which is causing adverse reactions!!!

  10. I wouldn't force yourself to adhere to a schedule at all; just alternate It Figures and Picture of the Day as you're able.

    I liked the latter 'cause I'd end up seeing toys I'd never heard of.

  11. @MG: Is this to make us jealous? Or are you offering to shop for us?! 😉

  12. Mumma Ghostal

    Back in the Day, I would have brought home a surprise to help you feel better! So sad to be all grown up…sort of.

    A reminder to your commentators…I will be in the vicinity of 4 FLA Walmarts in the middle of May!

  13. PresidentJuggernaut

    Yeah, hope it isn't swine flu. Eat your veggies and all that!

  14. Poe

    Dr. Mrs. Ghostal is a scientist, not an MD…I'm OK though. Definitely better today. I'm sure it's not swine flu 😉

  15. Jim

    At least your wifey is an MD! Oh and what did you eat that could've caused it?

  16. Jim

    I also hope that Nightwing didn’t use that toilet after Clayface….

    LOL

    Crazy stuffs going around…that swine virus seems pretty scary

  17. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well! Hope you recover quickly!

    I also hope that Nightwing didn't use that toilet after Clayface…. 😉

  18. Feel better, Poe! My Youngest had the yuck for almost a week, and that kid can vomit like a firehose. (I feel terrible, since I took him and his brother to Wal-Mart, and the Oldest asked me what if the Youngest gets sick? I answered, "Pfft. It's Wal-Mart, who cares?" since I didn't think he would, and of course…)

    What is that toilet from, though? And why doesn't Nightwing have someone there to hold his long, luxurious hair?
