A St. Patrick's Day adventure
A crisis struck in Action Figure Land today when I brought home a package of green Peeps. The Librarian very understandably decided they were a threat, but most of the rest of the toys really liked them. Peeps are exotic, both soft and grainy -- textures most action figures don't get to experience very often. Unfortunately, the Librarian managed to ( Read more... ) -

After their disappointing quest through the wilderness for the wrong Blue Box, the Plastic Captain, Plastic Rose, and tiny K-9 took their silver Honda landcruiser a long distance to a new place. The Captain called it a "base of ops" and Rose called it a "bloody huge flat."

(Previously in the adventures...)After smuggling themselves out of the hotel room in some luggage, then stowing away on several airplanes which the Captain insisted he could have flown if they weren't trying to be so secretive, the Captain and Rose found themselves in an area of rural America.

All of this has happened before (BSG)
It's busy at Casa Rusty these days. I come home and the TiVo remote has been moved, books from the metal shelf are out of place, new bookmarks have appeared on my Foxfire browser. The Action Figures are beelike ( Read more... ) -
TV report: SG-1
Unlike last week's "Beachhead" experience, most of the AFs didn't tune in to Stargate SG-1this week, and Regular Xander didn't have much to report. In fact he was pretty bored by the whole episode. Cordelia wasn't, entirely.
