Bits and bobs

nickless, you are EVIL for introducing me to KinderEggs. Evilevilevil. I added a fifth to my collection today, which makes three animals + carts (an alligator, a bull, and now a billy goat; rowdycamels, you must see this one), a grumpy-looking blue wizard, and either a Spanish conquistador or an English crusader. He has a rapier from the sixteenth or seventeenth century and is wearing a Spanish-looking red cross, but he also has a feathered hat that looks more like Robin Hood than anything else. Um, yes. Anyway, there's this little toggle/wheel thingy in his innards you can poke and he swishes his rapier. Hee.

The other day, I got an e-mail from Bowman commending me for my excellent spring break planning. Hee! I'm awesome. And anal. But mostly awesome.

The Farscape paper lacks but about three sentences of a conclusion and a complete restructuring small amount of rearranging. The Satire paper has 900 words. Woot!

Last but not least, happy birthday to suzvoy!

Dude. That's the best KinderEggs toy ever! And I love how you've identified the rapier. *g* I vote for Spaniard, or possibly Musketeer.

It is quite fantastic.

And I love how you've identified the rapier. *g*

I do so enjoy being vague about such things. "Oh, sometime in these two centuries..." :)

I vote for Spaniard, or possibly Musketeer.

Come to think of it, he might be a Musketeer. It would totally fit the hat. He's got a thin, turned-up moustache that I for some reason associate with the Musketeers, too.

I've already got that one, actually. And I got one of those rolly bust guys too, except all mine does is... headbang. I don't get it.

I think I need to see your collection.

Ohmigod! We have those too! They're called KinderSurprise here, but they are the best! Not too much chocolate but they come with an awesome toy. Yum.

P.S. Britt is back in Germany, you should email her.

Yep. They're called KinderSurprise here, too, but Kinder Eggs has fewer syllables. ;) What little chocolate they have is really, really good chocolate, though.

Okay.

Hee! They're awesome, aren't they? Wanna smuggle some to the US for me? I'll reimburse you!

[icepixie]

How many do you want? =)

[nickless.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. An even dozen sounds nice, or however many you can fit in a happy-sized box. (Was that vague-specific enough?? *g*)

Heh. I didn't get this before I left for Switzerland, but I'll get you some from England this week (might not get sent until after I get back from either Paris or Ireland, though, sorry). I'll just ignore the strange looks from the Tesco employees when I get up to the check-out with twelve Kindereggs in my basket... ;)
