Meme Virus and Victor Doll
Dec. 7th, 2009 10:55 pmCold still in effect, though the sore throat that was accompanying it seems to be leaving for greener pastures finally. That and a stuffy nose made me feel all irritable at work today. Blah.
-D: *pats shoulder* Well, hopefully you'll be over it soon.-
Yeah, fingers crossed. I just want to know how I managed to plow through that box of Puffs so fast.-
Anyway, in other news, my RPG characters have all done a meme I saw on Moose's Captain John the First's journal (
hart_on_sleeve), regarding their first names. I thought it was amusing, so I gave it a go. Results:
Doc's Result -- NAILED him. That is so DEFINITELY Doc. :D
Victor's Result -- Eeeeh, not really. The first bit I can kind of see -- Victor is loving, no doubt -- but impulsive? Thaaat I'm not so sure on.
Marty's Result -- Yeah, that's pretty much Marty. Though a little of the language makes me think of Doc.
Alice's Result -- Again, that's pretty much Alice. I find it amusing her result was identical to Marty's.
Steve & Gary's Results -- Well, the guys are smart for turrets, and they definitely think outside the box. I think Gary's result is a bit more accurate than Steve's, though -- the turrets are more known for being unique than geniuses.
Simon's Result -- This one's hard to call, but I don't think it's a bad fit. I've always seen Simon as a nice chap, and if there's one thing his life is, it's unpredictable.
Lucy's Result -- HAHAHAHA no. This one's pretty much the complete OPPOSITE of Lucy.
Dee's Result -- Identical to her Daddy. Considering he pretty much built her, I'm not surprised.
My result would be the same as Victor's, incidentally, since my name is simply the feminine version of his.
And in further other news, a Victor I wanted but didn't buy at the time has popped up on eBay. Good, right?
Well, take a look at the huge picture they provide.
Is it just me, or is that an EXPOSED METAL JOINT in his knee?!
-TTV: O.O *looking creeped out*-
That annoys me! It's a lovely looking doll for the most part, but then I see that hole and that metal, and -- they couldn't at least spring for a bit of white PAINT for that bit?
-TD: You could paint it white yourself, you know.-
I suppose, but that still pisses me off a bit. You make a lovely little poseable doll, then let a bit of the metal interior shine through because of one stupid rip in the pants. (Makes you wonder why they didn't just go with non-ripped -- well, okay, he has Scraps with him, so obviously he's post ripped-clothes at that point. Even so. . . .)
-VD2: Yes, but will that keep you from getting a Victor you can actually hug if you feel like it?-
Murgh. . . .
-TTV: If it's got metal poking out its knee, I don't imagine it would be very comfortable to hug.-
This is what I get for getting into fandom late. All the good stuff, like Victor plushies, is a distant memory. And of course I get to see all the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff out in the stores, mocking me. *shakes fist*
Well, we'll see what happens. Right now -- bed.
