Every time I go to the thrift store, I see the section devoted to cast-off plush toys, and it makes me sad. My idea is to buy them all, eviscerate them, sew them into one big blob, fill them with beans (or whatever they fill beanbag chairs with) and sit on them. It would be the world's most comforting
chair.
The result.

So, um, why don't you do that thing? I've seen worse in art galleries. |
|
| |
My wife recently made a giant bean bag bear for my 3-year-old grandson. It's basically a bean bag made out of furry material with a bear's head. She also included cuddly arms suitable for wrapping around small children... |
|
| |
Should sell. How about you fix the category, [saxman]. |
|
| |
never mind the category but those button eyes are feckin' uncomfortable |
|
| |
It would be an interesting Moreauesque hybrid of the cuddly and freakish. Plus functional! I likes. Do it up, saxy. |
|
| |
Ah, the Thing. What a fine film. One of the best endings of any movie, period. |
|
| |
For some reason, I get this image of roadkill, sort of splatted on the floor with legs akimbo. |
|
| |
Wasn't Legs Akimbo a dancer on the old Muppet Show? |
|
| |
[bungston], I've not seen The Thing so could you gauge the ending in comparison to Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (the 1978 version)¿ which in my opinion is the best ending of all time. |
|
| |
I bunned the idea by the way. It's like Frankenstein's pooch. |
|
| |
Zombie Pet Beanbag, as posted on the Barfbakery. |

[theleopard], I envy the fact that you have not seen the Thing, because now you can rent it and see it for the first time. Do not read or attempt to learn more about it on the web. Just get it and watch. The opening is pretty amazing too. This is the John Carpenter Thing. The black and white original version has its charms as well. |
|
| |
The ending of the Thing is better, because it is truly metaphysical and can be interpreted on many levels. |
|
| |
... but the end of Silent Running is more of a tear-jerker ..... |
|
| |
I remember seeing The Thing. It was gory and difficult to believe. Then again, I was similarly underwhelmed by Alien... "Hit the doors and blow the fucker into space." |
|
| |
Is there anything you do like? |
|
| |
This would be good for the environment too. Love it. |
|
| |
Yes, [tl]. I liked Mad Max, especially where he handed the hacksaw to the bad guy and told him, "The handcuffs will take 4 minutes, your wrist about 1 minute, the fuel tank should explode in about 2 minutes." |
|
| |
I nearly wet myself laughing. |
|
| |
The truth is, I don't like things that are simply unrealistic or cannot be expected to occur in the real world. Ghosts, boogeymen and shape-shifting aliens rank pretty low on my probability scale. Man is a far nastier critter than anything else on Earth, or on any other planet, I suspect. |
