Yesterday I read on dearauthor.com that Nora has a bobblehead. Seriously! A Nora Roberts bobblehead.
My initial reaction: Screw the RITA and the NYT, baby. I want a bobblehead!
That was yesterday. My thoughts today: Screw the RITA and the NYT…dude, I want a Shannon Stacey bobblehead! That would be so cool, and I’ve already started a list of ways my family could use it:
* The short kid would no doubt treat it as a “Mother, May I” magic 8 ball: Ask it a question, give it a tap, and it always says yes. But Mom, you said I could eat the whole package of cookies!
* The husband could use it as a new target for the Air-Soft gun. The last time I was his target, he shot me in the ass on Christmas morning, forcing me to yell less than joyeux words at him. I think he’d find the Shannon Stacey bobblehead’s reaction to posterior BB wounds much more positive.
* It would seriously freak out my cats.
* When the tall kid starts expounding on the ways the Union screwed up after Gettysburg, followed by a lecture on the mechanics of the building of the pyramids vs the mechanics of the building of the Great Wall of China, I can set the bobblehead to nodding in an interested manner and lock my real self in the bathroom with a bag of Doritos and a fun and frivolous book.
* During the unfortunately numerous hours I spend talking to myself, I’d find myself much more agreeable. Shan: Should I really send that partial to NY? Shan Bobblehead: *nod nod nod*
* Of course, that could also work to my detriment. Shan: OMG, I suck. Shan Bobblehead: *nod nod nod*
What would your family do with a You Bobblehead?
Not me. I want a talking Nora bobblehead that tells me to write.
Since I tend to ignore myself.
And face it, I’m much more likely to listen to Nora. :whip:
:thumb: I want a Shan and a Nora and oh, heck, a Jaci bobblehead too, as inspiration. I like the talking idea, Jaci (she’s so smart!). I could, however, see myself trying to brainstorm with it and popping it’s spring.
So maybe not.
And there’s no way in hades I’d give my family a me bobblehead. It’d be sick the things they do in the name of humor.
Definitely a Nora bobblehead. :nod:
So where to you get them?
:rofl:I’ll take both since you are both more prolific and better writers than me! Maybe I can get some inspiration and talent by osmosis. :shrug:
kate bobblehead=family makes:popcorn: me agree with all of their stupid plans. :rulez:Basically the same thing as your family, except unlike your cat, my dog wouldn’t freak. She’d just eat the damn thing.
look! this one is a bobblehead. It’s you!:boogie:
and where’s your TT? I have mine up and was ready to pimp myself here.
I think you have to go to a double A baseball game in MD, Ann. They’re giving them out on some game night.
MMMM. i sense a meme coming on. what your bobble head can do for you.
You can actually have these bobbleheads made. A GF did it for her boss. He had a crackberry and a briefcase but played with the crackberry on his bobblehead so much, the crackberry fell off.
So if I got my hands on a Nora bobblehead, what do you think my chances are of getting away with “Nora Roberts agrees this is the funniest book ever!”?
:groucho:
Ooooh, I must investigate the possibilities of a Shan bobblehead!
I must also investigate what exactly a crackberry is and why a man would play with it so much it fell off.
Hmm. The real question is, could my family tell the difference between a nodding bobblehead and the writer whose head is in her book so she nods and smiles and agrees with everything because she isn’t hearing a word of it? :rofl:
Apparently the bobbleheads will be for sale at Turn the Page after the game, so maybe you could order one.
MMMM. i sense a meme coming on. what your bobble head can do for you.
You go first, Jane :coffee:
