DUMMIES ARE CREEPY

My beautiful wife has been very supportive of all the things I've found myself involved in over the years, but I've noticed more than a few rolled eyes in my direction. I think she is giving up to the inevitable, as each new book and such makes it's way into the house. And she is shaking her head a little less as she catches me practising in the mirror.

The problem is that I grew up with Jerry Mahoney, Knucklehead Smif, Farfel, and Danny O'Day. My heros were Bergen, Nelson, Winchell, and Prof. Echo. Yoko grew up with the film, "Magic." I don't know if I've ever seen it all the way through. To tell the truth ... the only thing I remember is the wooden heart at the end. So because of "Magic" she finds vent figures . . . CREEPY!



But Yoko I have to admit that you are right. I was looking at some of the figures at the Vent Haven site : http://www.venthavenmuseum.net/ and found Sammy. Made and used by Walter Lambert. He dressed in drag as a nurse and tended to the little fellow. What makes Sammy more than a little creepy is thet fact that his teeth are actual human teeth. OOOOOO! Uck!
Okay Yoko ... I promise ... I won't use any body parts ... I promise.
Really.
No really!
