Here is what her comment said.
"... Also, if we're allowed to vote for who gets the puppet? I'm voting Pickleope. He'd make it into an entire, maniacally convoluted post about ... rape-y dolphins? Dunno. You'd have to ask him..."
So there you go, courtesy of Vapid Vixen, our winner of the Little Thinker William Shakespeare doll (or Ol' Billy Shakes, as I believe he will be known from now on) is Pickleope! Congratulations Pickleope, you lucky devil you! If you send me your postal address Ol' Billy Shakes will be winging his way to you very soon!
Oh Billy, how I'm going to miss your little embroidered face. I do love a man who can carry off one of those funny pointed beards and a curly up moustache. But you're going to a good home, Pickleope will take good care of you. I'm sure he'll keep you out of sunlight, never get you wet, and never ever feed you after midnight.
What's that Billy? You're not a gremlin? I know, you don't have the ears and you're nowhere near as cute. But even so, it doesn't hurt to be cautious.
Oh Billy. How I would have loved you so.
ReplyDeleteI, too, shall miss him, but I'm sure Pickleope will make sure we're kept updated on his adventures.
DeleteMy Mannequin Arm would have loved this lil fella! ;o)
ReplyDeleteHugs!

It's a tale of forbidden love between a mannequin arm and a Shakespeare doll...
DeleteOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH Billy Shakes! I can't adequately express how excited I am by your pending arrival! We have plans for you, Billy Shakes. The wheels are turning. At the very least, we're going to have A Midsummer Night's Dream style sex party.
ReplyDelete“But I might see Cupid’s fiery shaft
Quenched in the chaste beams of the watery moon” –A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act II, Scene 1
Some things I'm already thinking I'll do with his total consent:
-A trip to the zoo to see the monkeys that can supposedly write all his works on a typewriter
-Show him how he is used to torture teenagers (probably not this one as I might get arrested going into a high school)
-Have him express appall at how I have helped devolve writing
-A game of "What's that hand doing to me?"
-"I'm a sexy bitch" Starring William Josiah Shakespeare (that's his middle name, right?)
- Psycho analysis of William Tiberius Shakespeare (okay, THAT is his middle name, right?)
-William Shakespeare's 5 worst habits
And those are what came to mind.
Thank you, Vapid Vixen (I can only draw so many pictures of you, you magnificent raconteur), and thank YOU Kelly, you are, for better or worse, going to get a pickled version of you drawn soon (probably next week).
Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you.
I'm very excited to see what you've got planned for him! I got your email and I'll pop him in the post on Monday.
DeleteAnd I get a pickle version of me??? Woo hoo!!! I can't wait to see it!
Congratulations!
Oh, too bad. I was looking forward to William The Muppet Shakespeare becoming the neighbor to my mountain climbing Mickey.
ReplyDeleteAlas, there could be only one...
DeleteDANG IT BUT CONGRATS TO THE ONE WHO WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE SEEING BILLY THRU BLOGOSPHERE!!!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's great that he's going to someone who will make the most of his skills. Billy's been trying to break into showbiz for a while now, hopefully this will act as a platform for him to get a role in a big Hollywood blockbuster.
DeleteParting is such sweet sorrow, Billy. Fare thee well at Pickleope's place.
ReplyDeleteIt will take some getting used to for him ... after all, he's a Southern Hemisphere Shakespeare doll ... but I'm sure he'll get along with Pickleope swimmingly after he recovers from his jetlag.
DeleteHello Kellie:
ReplyDeleteWhat a very kind gesture on the part of Vapid Vixen and we can see, from the above, how delighted Pickleope is.
Kellemes hétvégét.
Isn't it great? I feel like two people won instead of just one!
