The Goonies was a hit movie in the eighties from Steven Spielberg and directed by Richard Donner (Superman I & II). It is a film about a bunch of kids searching for fortune and glory in the hi jinx of treasure maps, villainous crooks, secret underground caverns, deadly booby traps, hidden treasure and featuring One-eye Willie, starring Sean Astin (Sam in Lord of the Rings).

Mezco Toyz and Warner Brothers presents the first assortment of action figures featuring: *Mikey with map, Copper Bones, Spanish Doubloon, alternate hand with inhaler and bag of marbles *Data with Bully Buster, Pinchers of Peril, sticky dart and dynamite *Chunk with statue of David, milk shake and piece of pizza *Mouth with lantern, hair brush, pirate sword and pirate treasure *Sloth with pirate hat, pirate sword and candy bar.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Takes a loose minded entrepeneur to figure out that skinning a dog in a banana suit may add to the high price of a hand. Pity not the dog, in this case Brian Griffin from The Family Guy, a tool in the whole marketing scheme and scam.

Takes the discerning consumer to work out that a dog dressed in a banana suit helps no one in the long run. Not if the dog isn't playing all the cards that are involved in the game of dressing up fruity.


Such as knowing the limit at which the costume will work. After a certain period of time, it should be either taken out as a whole or left for the compost and hopefully the return back into the environment.

Another thing to note is the infuriating stickers that comes with the costume. Vital for those who are interested in knowing the wheres and whats. Less so for those who forget and throw it in the wash, only to end up with bits floating about not yet ready to let go.

Dressing up as a fruit is one thing. Knowing how to be the fruit is another thing entirely.
