The Second Coming?

Okay.  So this has nothing whatsoever to do with the kids, but does anyone else notice the resemblance?

One picture came from the internets, the other was handed to me at my front door.

You guess which is which.

I can't take all the credit for this.  It was actually Huzbend that mentioned the similarities.

I just couldn't help myself.

"Jeeeeesus!  He turns water into wine in about 20 seconds! Jeeesussss!  He heals lepers and blindness with common household materials!  Jeeeeeesuuusss!"

Moving on.....

Another subject that has just a smidgeon to do with the kids - only 'cause they play with Legos.
 

Sometimes LEGO sucks.

Is it SO hard, frickin' LEGO, to make a series that actually has a strong female character!?!?!?

Okay.  Yeah.  You all (or you Ninjago freaks) are yelling out "Nya!!"  Yeah.  Okay.  I'll give you that.  She was kinda cool.  BUT, the series started off with her being kidnapped and having to be saved by her cool ninja trained brother.  Looking past that, later they showed she could kick some butt with her awesome samurai mech.

If you ask me, SHE shoulda been the Green Ninja.  Sigh.

Anyways, my main complaint is with the new CHIMA series - specifically the TV shows that Mikey has watched about a million times.

They've got this female eagle-like character.  Just seeing her makes me want to punch LEGO in the face.

In the first few minutes of the first episode, she's pulled down out of the sky ('cause she can fly) in a net by the bad guy and whines, "Whhhhhyyy are yooooouuuu doing thiiiisss?"  Ugh.  So, it's gonna be like that, is it?

Later on, these anthropomorphic animal characters are having a battle on their jazzed out motorcycles.  They duel, one on one, to win a competition.  One of the bad guy characters wants to get the main good guy to fight.  The main good guy doesn't want to fight.  So, you know what the bad guy does?  He, of course, decides to attack the helpless eagle lady.  Wouldn't you do that same thing?

So, he begins to drive right at her.  She, of course, can't get her motorcycle started.  She's fumbling with the controls and is screaming for help until the main good guy rescues her by bashing into the bad guy with his motorcycle.

UGH.  UGH.  UGH.

LEGO, do you realize how much YOU ARE PISSING ME OFF?!?!?!?!

Just reminds me of the time I walked into the Lego store and a gentleman greeted us with this gem, "Hi!  Welcome to the LEGO store!  The Girl Legos are back there (referring to Katie and her obvious like of the Friends collection based solely on his observation of her gender), and the Boy Legos......well, they're, uh, everywhere."

Argh.

Confound you, LEGO!!!!!

Getting off soapbox in 3.....2.....1......now.
