So, question. On Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, what's wrong with the little girl doll that makes her a misfit? She looks fine to me. Two eyes, one nose, no antennae... I don't get it.


It is painfully cold outside. The constant wind makes it bitingly colder. My tea has gone cold. And I have a cold, annoyingly enough. This grows tiresome. I have a lot of things I should be doing (and should have done this weekend), but none of it's getting done tonight. I'm really only here because I don't want to let myself get out of the habit of posting again, after barely doing so all summer. I mean, I'm paying for this darned thing. Might as well use it. But I'm tired of this stupid cold.

I thought it was because she was a plain, old-fashioned rag doll that didn't cry or wet itself or do some other fascinating new-fangled thing? But it's been forever since I saw Rudolph, so I could be making things up. :)

I hope you feel better soon!

Duh. It's the lack of antennae.

Or she's a lesbian dolly, out to corrupt the youth, OMG!

Or possibly I'm just being weird.

I always guessed it's because she's a red head (since I was one). My husband has always insisted it's because she has no underwear.

Hee! Aw, poor little redhaired doll. That wouldn't surprise me, considering the treks my mom had to go on to find redhaired dolls for my own wee self. Young redheads today don't know how easy they have it. We had to go uphill both ways in the snow for redhaired dolls! ;)

Your husband is far more observant than I am. Though, hey, that explanation works too. *g*

snerk. Dude, it's always open season on weirdness around here, so feel free. And the corrupting the youth thing works for me. Of course, when I asked a friend this question once, her theory was that Misfit Doll was actually a transvestite Raggedy Andy. So maybe she can join forces with Hermie the "dentist" elf and get some community-building going.

Antennae would be cute, don't you think? ;)

Actually, that would make a lot of sense. Much more so than any of the wild theories I've been coming up with. Poor doll, lapped by technology like so many others. Aw.

And thanks! Nice House icon, too. *g*
