Good grief, that Morrow bobblehead is frightening! The Modano bobblehead is small and probably not that high-dollar, but it at least has the spirit of the bobblehead in mind. The dumpy body, the ankles together, the nice smooth paint, and the giant bobbing head. The Morrow looks like it started out to be one of those MacFarlane action figures, but decided it was going to be too expensive so they just stuck a giant and not-very-bobbly head on it. Yikes-ee.
Even though I was horrified, I’m now probably going to be compelled to go to five more Monday games so I can collect all six.
The game presentation had a new feature that I thought was fun. You can text a message to the Jumbotron, essentially. You send your text message to a number and they post it on the crawl on the scoreboard. The only problem is that none of mine went through. I started with a plain, “Go Bouch!” Then I thought it’d be fun to see if they’d put up my blog URL, but I wasn’t surprised they didn’t. Lastly, I tried to shout out to the Untypical Girls, Cat and Caitlin, but that didn’t go through, either. Shout out to y’all anyway! My lovely sister sent a message from home for me, though. So it was fun.
Cat & I bought them at the game and then promptly tore one out of its tiny styrofoam sarcophagus to check it out, only to be nearly blinded by terror. It was a collective moment of, “Dear God, what the hell is that thing?” And then me thinking, well, it’s okay. I can beat myself to death with the cheap, yet heavy, “ice rink” they gave us.
Cat theorizes it’s the eyes on that…thing. I personally think it’s the dead, vacant stare on the bobblehead that you most often see on Modano, not Morrow.
We thought about trying the ticker thingy, but we decided not to after seeing four or five separate people propose marriage. Thank you so much for trying to give us a shoutout! Awww, so honored! We’ll be at the game tonight with fellow Untypical Girl Jenlo – so, there you go! I hope you get a chance to go – I refuse to miss out on the almighty Hanson Brothers. And you can always e-mail me at texasmoviequeen (at) gmail (dot) com, since I get e-mails on my cell phone and all that good stuff! We’re sitting up in Section 328 tonight – $15 seats, what!
Now, what is the point of a bobblehead if the head doesn’t even bobble? I think it WAS a MacFarlane figure and it shrunk in the wash or something.
Seriously though, while I am horribly frightened by the Morrow bobblehead, and definitely am of the opinion that it comes to life at night and eats honey barbecue chicken wings out of my refrigerator (what? I have chicken wings missing!), I, too, am compelled to get all six. I’m also wondering who the other five will be. Certainly there will be a Modano and a Turco. Maybe a Boucher and a Zubov? And then…Um. Stu? I don’t know! I can’t think of any others besides those guys.
That is the strangest bobblehead I’ve ever seen. I… don’t understand. Why would someone make that? SO CREEPY!
Wow, that’s so creepy! I wish the Devils gave them out — I’d put my creepy Brodeur, or Parise, or best yet, my Elias half-McFarlain/half-bobblehead on the Reference Desk for my shifts and no one would ever approach me at the library to ask a question ever again!
As for the texting the jumbotron, I saw that in Washington last season and thought it was the coolest thing ever! That sucks that they wouldn’t let you pimp PK there, though.
Oh, hey Cat — maybe you can help me out! Schnookie and I have been trying to convince Patty to apply to HLOG, but someone’s been too shy to do it.
Don’t let them fool you, Cat! They have never said a word about that to me!
I got it to work last night. I think my “stars” part was mixed-case the first night and their machine didn’t like it. I didn’t try to do the PK url, though.
They have never said a word about that to me!
LIES! :)
