| | I was in the middle of doing something when my daughter asked me for assistance.
"Daddy, I can't get Barbie to stand up. I need help."
I told her I was in the middle of something.
She says, "She's supposed to stand up, but she keeps flopping over."
I said, "See how thin Barbie is? She doesn't eat enough food, so she doesn't have the strength to stand up. That's why she keeps flopping over."
At least she thought it was funny.

She's top heavy.

| | Didn't I read somewhere that if Barbie was a real human, she'd have to crawl because she wouldn't be able to walk?

| | Now here I am, trying to make a serious point about the misogynist way society defines the feminine ideal, including inculcating the minds of young girls - mere children! - through the guise of "fun toys," and you come along and make an irreverent insinuation of a sexual nature while missing the entire POINT of my post.
Hmmph.

dictionary.com returns:
No entry found for hmmph.
4 suggestions found:
hemp ..... homeboy ..... honeybee ..... hump
Why do I find those choices humourous...:-)
...tom... ( more humorous than 'smug disgust' anyway....:grumble: )

| | I've read that before, MJ. Barbie is way out of proportion and she would also have amenorhea like women athletes.

All those straps just to hold those little patches on. Bridges don't have so much support.

| | Now, Slick has made not one, but TWO posts indicating that he has a fetish for Barbie's feet, and you guys have failed to jump on that. You're slipping.
Yes, gentlemen, you may keep her. Is her name Barbie?
