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.

Wheeling around in a wheelchair

Not unlike the chicken-legged ED-209, stairs and steps are among the hardest terrain for a wheelchair to access. Wide gaps in bridges and walkways are just another.

With steps, the increase in appearance in ramps at least alleviates some of the pressures in being able to off-road and rail up the footings. Not so much with planks of wood and such gone away from a slack bridge or over walk. That there is best left for people with whips and bodies that can withstand swinging into the side of a mountain or similar face.

Plus side in owning a wheelchair is the fact that there will always be a seat. Be it on public transport, at the cinemas or at a poetry slam. Even if the environs themselves prove not to be utterly accommodating in their own right. 

Brains for breakfast, a way to start the day

Start it off and kick a day into Action Jackson gear with the right stuff. Breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day. For some, it's the second meal after waking up, most others the first.

When you're a zombie, there's one thing that will bring up the undead in you like a worm burrowing through. Brains.

Or more precisely, braaaiiins. Juicy, soft and made up entirely of that grey matter, a brain is the life food of the undead and zombies.

Tough to crack, the skull is the shell that holds this most delicate of delicacies. Work it and you'll have yourself a feast for the day that will power you up lugging your left leg down the street with all the energy you'll need.

At least until the next time you sniff a synapse.
