Ok, pretty funny. I just did a search about Rudolph and found this....

The number one question that we get asked about the special is: What is wrong with the MISFIT GIRL DOLL? Arthur Rankin answers this question on page five of my book. Apparently, her problem was more psychological than physical. I have recently obtained THE original 10-28-63 draft of the script by Romeo Muller and the MISFIT GIRL DOLL does not appear in this first draft.

That's cool...do they have a complete list of the Misfitoy characters?

My favorite site to look up obscure TV/Movie stuff is IMDb.com.
Here's the link to the Rudolph page.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058536/

I think nowadays, she'd get a prescription for Zoloft for her ticket off the island!


And TV Party is a fun site, too.

Ok, I just saw a reference to Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp!!! I think I'll have to buy the DVD!

I was at a stop light the other day and a very well groomed woman about my age was beside me in luxury car. I could see her looking at the Casper on the A panel of my car with a superior attitude. I thought, you know, it is kind of silly for a woman my age to be running around with a cartoon character on her car but I really don't care. It's my car. The next car I passed was a family van. You could tell everyone in the car was enjoying the sight of my fun car. It made my day.

My car wasn't specifically named after her, but after I picked the name the character came to mind and now appears on my Whalen.


My MINIs name is Boo.

Inspired by the movie which was a comic book

The night before we ordered MIB we saw Men In Black on HBO. Hence MINI IN BLACK.
Just your ordinary innocent looking MINI Cooper...

Nod ya head, Black Suits Commin!
