WEIRD ITEM OF THE MONTH
APRIL 2006
THIS ODD ITEM IS ACTUALLY NOT SCARY, JUST DISTURBING TO ME. IT IS A REPLICA OF A TOY FROM THE 1950'S OR 1960'S. I WAS TRAVELING WITH A FRIEND AND SAW ONE OF THESE THINGS IN A GAS STATION / JUNK STORE. FIRST, YOU WIND IT UP. IT STARTS TREMBLING AND SHAKING, THEN POURS THE DRINK. STUFF LIKE THIS THING ARE IN HIGH DEMAND OR SOMETHING. THE PLACE WANTED $29.99 FOR THIS CLATTERING HUNK OF MOSS AND TIN. THERE WERE SIMILAR ITEMS OF THE SAME TIME PERIOD ON THE SHELF NEARBY. TO THIS DAY I WONDER IF THEY ACTUALLY SOLD ONE. EITHER WAY, YOU'D HAVE TO BE DRUNK TO ENJOY A MONKEY POURING YOU A MARTINI.
MARCH 2006
IN APRIL, TOPPS WILL RELEASE THE ALL-NEW SERIES 5 GARBAGE PAIL KIDS. TO CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF THESE COOL, BUT STRANGE CARDS, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SHOWCASE THE JAPANESE GARBAGE PAIL KID CARDS. THEY ARE CALLED "BUKIMIKUN" (WEIRD KIDS) AND HAVE THE SAME ART AS THE AMERICAN CARDS. THE CARD NUMBERING IS DEFFERENT FROM AMERICAN GPK AND THESE ARE EXTREMELY RARE, SERIOUSLY RARE. I ATTEMPTED TO TRANSLATE (VERY POORLY, I'M NOT JAPANESE) THE CARDS, BUT STILL NEED SOME HELP THERE... FUNNY HOW A QUESTIONABLE-AGED NAKED GIRL IS UNCENSORED, BUT A KID WITH SEVERAL HEADS IS TOO OBSCENE TO BE SEEN IN JAPANESE PICTURES. THOUGH WE HAVE DIFFERENT CULTURES, GARBAGE PAIL KIDS GIVE AMERICAN & JAPANESE PEOPLE SOMETHING IN COMMON TO BE SICK ABOUT. GARBAGE PAIL KIDS COULD UNITE THE WORLD, WEIRD ISN'T IT?
