"Doll or Action?"

[Pseudolus]

That's what I was asked today in a particular situation. Didn't get it at first, but then I caught on.

[Hugh Jass]

was this for your choice of happy meal toy for your children?

[Pseudolus]

That would be correct. And quicker than I expected.

Someone must have gotten (legally?) mad at them for asking "boy or girl."

[Abused Student]

So are you saying you can't have your doll and your action too? :cry:

[Hugh Jass]

wow, I can't believe I guessed right.

Mrs. jass takes the kids there occassionally. I never take my kids out.

I did notice some happy meal toys on the kitchen table a week ago or so, and I asked my wife how they knew to give us the "right" toys. I asked her "do they ask you what kind you need or something?" and mrs jass said "yeah"

But she didn't tell me about the odd way of saying it.

[vividox]

Oh. I thought it was a mad gab for "dollar action" and it meant going to the strip club.

[Snagus]

Well we are down versus the yen. Thought it was dollar action.

[vividox]

Also, last time I got a Happy Meal from McDonald's (last week, no I don't have kids, yes I ordered it with extra "happy") they simply asked "boy or girl". Should I be suing McDonald's for... what the **** would that even be, discrimination?

[Abused Student]

I thought the OP has put a hole in his blow up and either he could keep her inflated or he could have fun with her rapidly deflating self but not both.

[Hugh Jass]

I own way too much plastic. If I were single, I would own a lot less stuff made out of plastic.

[Snagus]

We just leave the toy on the table. Don't need more unused crap at home and we hope some other kid will be happy to get it.

[Werewolf]

I hate to break it to your kids, Pseud, but action figures are dolls.

[Hugh Jass]

I hate to break it to your kids, Pseud, but action figures are dolls.


I disagree

dolls are for nurturing and taking care of.

Action is for blowing up with leftover fireworks.

I rest my case.

[Hugh Jass]

everyone knows that when a boy prefers "doll" over "action" what that really means...

I remember my dad bringing McD home once in a while when I was little. He would cut the big mac in half because it was too much for us. I loved them.


I remember also how I wouldn't want to finish my soup and he would say just have four more spoons and I would somehow finish it. I would eat my icecream slowly and sometimes it would be soup by the end. And sometimes I would insist that all I wanted was a ketchup sandwich.

It's the employee that needs this explained.

[cubedbee]

And sometimes I would insist that all I wanted was a ketchup sandwich.

That reminds me of how for several years I insisted that I did not like cheese and that my mother should make my grilled cheese sandwiches with no cheese. She made them normally and told me the yellow stuff was just the butter, and I loved them.

And sometimes I would insist that all I wanted was a ketchup sandwich.

During the Reagan years, that was called a vegetable sandwich.

you sound a lot like my daughter

and for that, I love you

[ElDucky]

I thought this would be about choosing Roxxxy or a hooker.

[IMP]

what the **** is thois shit?

[Han Solo]

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the OP, but I've always been asked "boy or girl". I suppose someone got upset that McDs was insisting their girls had to play with the Littlest Pet shop stuff instead of the Hulk (based on actual toys received last week)?

We just leave the toy on the table. Don't need more unused crap at home and we hope some other kid will be happy to get it.
My wife is a elementary school teacher. They all go into the "treasure box". Teachers are always glad to get such donations, btw, so any crap you want to get rid of from home, it can become someone else's crap!

Doll erection?
