Creation "Science" Museum

[Griffin NoName]

However she does indeed seem amply endowed higher up

I bet they are implants.

Oh, I forgot. This isn't real is it?

[Opsa]

Wow, you're blowing my mind, Duje!

I am now contemplating this zen-like question:

If Barbie wore falsies, would they have to be real in order to truely be false to her actual plastic physique?

Ommmm....migawd...

[Swatopluk]

The difference would be, whether you can take them out or not.

You'd have to get past Ken first, but he looks a push-over.

Apparently Barbie was based on a German doll called Lilli who in turn was based on a prostitute in a 1950s German cartoon.

(How does this weirdo know the history of Barbie, I hear you ask yourselves? Well I happened to read a review of a book called "The Real Toy Story" in the Torygraph today.)

I'm wondering which German publication featured cartoons with prostitutes; I'm asuming it wasn't Die Welt.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

So Barbie is actually a Nazi prostitute?


What a twist!

[beagle]

Possibly. I think Nazi-ism was somewhat out of fashion in Germany by the 50s, except possibly at a few regimental re-union dinners (and then those held mainly in Paraguay).

They'd just need to be made of a differing material to the rest of whatever is under the top level of plastic.

If they made her with zips or flaps to remove them, it might help my plastic surgeon find more realistic solutions.

No, that makes sense. It's clearly some kind of subliminal plot to promote the BNP etc.

Party rallies of the FDP (Free Democratic Party, today somewhere between liberal and libertarian) in the 50ies looked suspiciously like Nuremberg in miniature). post-WW2 Austria dropped the name but kept the spirit of Adolf (and claimed him to be Prussian not Austrian of course) alive more or less.

what is the world coming to?

1st Mike Sebring (aka Kirk Cameron) debates the drumroll please Athiests- the Rational Response Squad on Nightline

then yet another creationist museum opens(for coverage see skeptic.com or ncse.org( it may be .com it's National Center for Science in Education)

and now Barbie is a Nazi hooker with possible falsies---- WOW--- Oh boy would that make some interesting adult comic book stuff

anyway   we too have a creationist museum here in Arkansas. In Eureka Springs. I visited it once--- and was asked to leave! yep-- me-- age 38 a sortof overweight blond lady wearing glasses-- what did I do you ask? OH--- teee heeee I was wearing my UALR annual Anthropolgy Club Darwin Day tee-shirt! The one from 2004 when we had Dr. Donald Johansen visit and it had Lucy on the back! I was told that I was not dressed appropriately( umm yes I did have pants on!)----- way too uptight!

I plan to visit Kansas-- this time I'm taking a bull horn!

[Sibling Chatty]

At some point this summer, I will be in Houston for an extended time (I hope). I know the managers at two of the three Lifeway Christian Bookstores (formerly the Baptist Bookstore) and will attempt to get a Biblegirl doll...excuse me, Action Figure!!

We can accesorise her appropriately for our purposes, and free her little plastic mind so that she can become a Toadfish as well. Toadfish and Christian are NOT mutually exclusive, remember.

What's scary to me is that the two bookstore managers are the children of friends... I'm gettin' old.

[Griffin NoName]

Ah!  Our purpose; our meaning !!  We can rescue BibleGirl from stereotyping !!

Bless you Sibling Chatty.

(can we give her implants for me to test out some of my theories? it would be in the interests of medical progress)

[anthrobabe]

yes
thanks for the reminder that sterotyping is  and that things are not necessarily mutually exclusive

be careful driving in Houston 

[Opsa]

Toadfish Barbie?!

Can we put her on our dashboards?

[beagle]

Toadfish Barbie?!

The phrase has unfortunate connotations when read in Australian. Dashboard yes, but tin foil and sea-salt, no.

You haven't seen the pictures of me cooking defrost-vent pizza and soup, I take it?
