Action figures and the things they do at night

Especially when you're not watching

Despite their size, small toys are not the sort of thing that slide down easy as part of any kind of morning cereal diet. Any. No matter how much custard they're dipped in, they just don't come out right the other end.

When the action figures start talking back outside the regular spool of tape lodged in their backs, it's probably time to hold further discussions with people outside.

One thing that cannot and should not be taken for granted is the fragility of boxes that contain certain model ranges. Holding up shelves and the left side of the television are tasks not in their system.

Despite their size, small toys are not the sort of thing that slide down easy as part of any kind of morning cereal diet. Any. No matter how much custard they're dipped in, they just don't come out right the other end.

With a microwave out of the question, taking a magnifying glass to the face of one of these people inside the action figure blisters will work just as well. Even cooler maybe.

Some people actually play with their action figures. Breaking the blister, scarring the packaging and even testing all points of articulation. That's their prerogative.

Every night, be sure to lock the cupboards and closets.

Dead man's chest and no pirates less

Davy Jones - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest action figures - NECA Toys
Davy Jones, owner of that famous underwater locker so many overboard and lost sailors and pirates visit before their deaths.

Jones also happens to be the villain in the sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), it seems, made a deal and now the one with a beard of tentacles has come to collect on the debt.

And what of that monstrous beauty that is his beard? A flowing and dangling series of tentacles like last week's dive into the seafood buffet.

Tougher to take care of than a head full of dreadlocks, it's quite possible that one major point in care is making sure the tentacles don't dry out. Drying out is bad for normal hair. When you take partially living limbs in consideration, it's a vital message to massage.

And making sure other people don't go biting the beard is another.

Slow down this holiday and Christmas season

Next to copping an eyeful of the sea of people rush around during the Christmas shopping season, and especially in the final days to December 25, the food at which tables and benches will sport and feast for the days ahead comes next as the thing to watch.

Namely that at which speed the food disappears from the table itself. Mostly due over the course of a simple gathering and meal for the holidays. Fifty chews or so and down the gullet the food will go. The majority with a careful pace and those who have yet to train as competitive food eaters.

And there are those who will forego any sense of moderation and make sure that there are no leftovers on Boxing Day. It's those people you should watch out for lest they finish of their meals and yours with a nice after-dinner mint.

Unlike packets of gum or boxes of toothbrushes, it's possible to have too much of a good thing. No matter how great the sauce, remember to slow down and take your time.

Merry Christmas and take plenty of rests between the eating sessions.
