Queenkv’s Brainpickings

so…we headed down to Rosemont to cover the National Barbie Doll Convention…

(from http://www.comicon.com/)
we’re breaking news, people….

the main issue we investigated….where did Barbie and Ken go wrong?
What is up with the new man in Barbie’s life, Blaine?

Back at the newsroom - we got into a discussion about the type of people who go to conventions…rest assured - we didn’t run into the chicks who had plastic surgery to look like barbie…yeah, that was a scary little TV segment….

Then the hit on Star Trek Conventions…and well….I tried to defend those fans…but heck, once I was able to explain the difference between a trekkie and trekker - it was all over….my professor got this weird look on her face. I tried to explain how other sci-fi stuff went into these Trek Conventions - like Xena and Hercules. She basically told me: ‘Stop right there, before I start losing more respect for you…that’s so not cool.’

hmmm….everyone got a good chuckle….sigh….i guess it was funny

live long and prosper
