Author Topic: Michael Schaffer: Meet my niece. Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-02-2003 06:29 AM                     If your name is not Michael Schaffer you will not understand this; don't worry about it. Michael, meet my niece; this is tiny Tears. Three and four year olds like playing with her; forty five year olds do not. You will notice that she has her initials on her dress, and on her nappies. She also has them embossed on her bottom, I think this is some new alternative to body piercing and tattooing. Tiny, say 'Hello' to uncle michael. <Tiny says 'Goo Goo', and makes strange gurgling noises.> Tiny, would you like to go to Germany and meet uncle Michael? <Tiny Tears makes more strange gurgling noises.> <Uncle Stephen puts Tiny tears in box, secures lid with large quantity of string and sealing wax, addresses label to Berlin, and heads in general direction of post office, with evil grin on his face.> <Strange gurgling noises coming from inside box.> <Distraught Mummy questions uncle Stephen; she wants to know where Tiny Tears is.> <Uncle Stephen decides it would be best to deny all knowledge of Tiny Tears, and keeps his fingers crossed that Mummy doesn't notice the strange gurgling noises from inside the post office van fading into the distance.>  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

Michael said they don't have Tiny Tears in Germany. I don't think I need a visa for Germany, I'll go and book a one-way flight this afternoon.

Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 04-02-2003 11:06 AM                        Maybe there are Tiny Tears here, but I had never heard about them. I don`t play with puppets. I prefer to play with Lego in my spare time. Recently I saw an ad for a Phil Hill action doll, maybe I get one of them though.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-02-2003 11:13 AM                     Those Phil Hill action dolls are on sale now at the Toys-R-Us store in Times Square. They are on the second floor next to the Reservoir Dogs Dolls. The only problem is they say there made by a company called TES.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-02-2003 11:17 AM                     Michael wrote: quote: Maybe there are Tiny Tears here Oh no!

She is happy and content. She say's thank you for all your concern.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-02-2003 11:38 AM                     Bob wrote: quote: Tiny Tears is living with my Grand Daughter..in the Bronx. Bob, I wish the mother of this Tiny Tears lived in the Bronx, rather than in Croydon. She would then be living several thousand miles away from me, and couldn't keep bringing me her wretched doll, sorry, dear little baby, to play with!  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I just found out its made out of old TES reels. This could be the next Pokemon fad. We better watch out.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-02-2003 12:48 PM                        Wouldn't this have been better as a Private Message?  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

For instance, Manny told us in chat that he had a big collection of dolls. He combs them, he dresses them and plays tea party with them. I wonder if he already has this one:  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-02-2003 01:20 PM                        quote: I wonder if he already has this one: ...And you wonder why I still haven't sent in my pic yet??
