Hearing the UPS Truck pulling up, I eagerly meet the driver out in the front yard with a smile on my face. He holds in his burly hands a parcel containing my latest K&C order. After thanking him profusely, I rush inside, my pulserate rising slightly as I open the package and thrust my paw into the popcorn.
I open up the first box, being ever so careful not to tear the cardboard tab. I gingerly lift the top foam piece from my new treasure.
I don't know....Maybe I'm not responsible enough to collect K&C. Perhaps I never quite lost that last trace of teenage immaturity. possibly, im just plain clumsy. I hope i'm not getting a bit senile.
With a very slight back and forth motion I slowly work the Crusader Piece "Gruesome Trophy" loose from its warm nest. I hold my breath as I work the tip of my index finger around the back of the figure, lift slightly, and............The Trophy head is now in my hand instead of the Saracens.
It could be, one end of the figure wasn't as loose as i thought it was, creating a bit of a levering effect, combined with less than adaquete grip which....er ummm....
Really, I thought I was being carefull. (sigh) Am I the only one? (Sniff) Does this ever happen to anyone else?? Was it all because the fates weren't with me? The alignment of the stars????
You'll all need to excuse me now while I write 1000 times on the blackboard......"I PROMISE TO BE EVEN MORE CAREFULL WHEN I HANDLE MY K&C FIGURES".
Whats it gonna take for me to learn??!!!!!!
