#0, Things I Shouldn't Do
Posted by Gryphon on Jun-15-15 at 01:29 AM
So when I was a kid I had a Fisher-Price Fun Jet, because, well, it was just something you did when you were a little kid in the '70s.

A while ago I got to reminiscing about the Fun Jet, and looked around on eBay to see if anybody was selling one. There were quite a few, but I noticed that most of them were damaged - doors missing, tails broken off, and so forth.

This immediately gave me the idea that I should buy one of the broken ones... then search out a few of the blue-bodied Little People, paint NTSB on their backs in yellow, strew around some assorted others and some of the luggage from the airport set, and create a Fisher-Price Crash Scene Investigation diorama.

I should really not do that. But I want to.

Something you probably shouldn't do but would be weirdly fun and satisfying to do.
If you do actually do it I think it would be awesome to see the finished product but don't tell Fisher-Price, they might get upset.
Or they might get jealous you did it first.

That sounds like a fun little diorama project to me. :)

Do it, do it, do it, DO IT!

You know you want to, and that's OK.

Consider it job-related humor on my part, since dealing with fatal accident scenes is part of my RL job description.
