At Least He Looks Her in the Face When He Talks to Her

August 24, 2005 by Mary & Kimberly

It’s comforting to know that those poor little roly poly kid heads can grow up, fall in love with full-bodied boys, make afghans (I’m guessing with their teeth??), and visit old villages.

    Maybe it’s the full bodied boys that are making the afghans? Of course, we don’t know that they’re full bodied either since we don’t get to see his feet, but instead some strange numbers. Assuming that that *is* a he, and not a she with a wierd haircut. After all, that could be a male kid head with the blond hair.

    I’ve been to Old Sturbridge Village. It’s 20 bucks a person for some fake old village. I think this couple spent so much money making that afghan that they’re just looking at the village from across the street.

    What the F***! Ooops! (Can I say “What the F***?” here?) I swear that that is a hair extension she has on. And, please, no more “Fish Heads” ..I never even heard of that song …BEFORE this blog. Wow..she has very…leafy (or, grainy) hair. Hmmm…I DO need a new hair-do.

    That pattern looks like something a swingin’ bachelor would have for upholstery in his swingin’ bachelor pad, perhaps positioned near a picture of a hunting tiger painted on a mirror.

    I think the couple in the picture are suppose to look like they’re being romantic or something. They’ve failed at said goal, but that’s still what I think.

    I don’t even think it’s a head. It’s just a wig on a stick, held by a pathetic wretch pretending his afghan is cool enough to get a real girl.

    Every time I stop at a bench while on my country stroll, I make sure to have my homemade afgan with me so that if I get cold, I can drape it BEHIND me. Making sure, of course, that it is dragging on the ground.

    I like the wig-on-a-stick idea. Perhaps someone can find that in another craft catalog.

    However, at risk of sounding like the complete nerd that I admit I am, I would really like to know where I can get the pattern for this afghan. (Don’t worry, I’ll use a better color combo.)

    I want the pattern,too! (but gosh, it looks dense. I wonder how many rows are in that?

    What is in the water supply over there to create a two headed hunchback monster? At least the two-headed monster looks fetching in the vacant lot across from the tourist trap.

    OK, freaky posing, but that afghan is beautiful! I’d make it in green, I love green.

    It really is a lovely pattern. Too bad I don’t knit! But, I do think that that guy is holding a wig on a stick. AND..why is the pattern titled..”A Visit to Old Sturbridge Village”? I mean, is that the name of the pattern? Strange.

    It looks like there’s something under that blanket behind them. Perhaps it’s just a 2-headed horse in a handmade blanket. Very stylish. Or maybe she was born with a very long tail and is embarrassed by it.

    Well, anyone that knows anything knows that this is Zaphod Beeblebrox on one of his visits to Earth. He is probably wondering what will happen to old Sturbridge Village after the Vorgons make way for a Galactic Highway. He is probably also thinking that Trillian will love this Afghan and will be a sure bet to get her to come with him in his “spacehip”. What else would the President of the Universe have to think about????

    Cindy….WHAT???…WHAT??? Who IS Zaphod Beeblebrox? Sounds like a great work of literature I may have missed. Please, fill me in.

    LOL! Zaphod Beeblebrox!!! I hadn’t thought of that!
