\"PicardJayne1\"<\/a>Everybody knows that I own the disembodied head of Jean-Luc Picard.<\/a> It comes up in conversation more often than you’d think. Unfortunately, Jean-Luc took a bit of a tumble a while back. I had him on top of a tripod, precariously perched while I took a picture of him and FOUR! LIGHTS!<\/a> The tripod pitched forward and Jean-Luc broke his noggin on the edge of a table. The top of his skull came right off. Who knew Starfleet captains had such brittle bones?
\n<\/a>
\nEven if I try to put him back together, he’s got cracks running right over his eye. Basically, I have a Locutus head now. I’m considering leaving the top of the skull off and putting him out front as a planter. The neighbors already think we’re weird, so I don’t think a Chia Picard is going to damage our reputation.<\/p>\n

Today I used some of my birthday money (thanks, Dad!) to replace poor Picard. Here’s a link to the seller.<\/a> This guy baffles me. He’s clearly got the heads of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jim Carrey for sale, but nowhere does he identify them as such.<\/p>\n

Has he got some kind of a deal where he can have the life casts, but not identify them as such? Schwarzenegger is listed as male mannequin head #4 so the guy must have at least four lifecasts of famous people. I’ve seen Douglas Fairbanks up there before, complete with moustache.<\/p>\n

When I’ve corresponded with him in the past, he’s closed with “In Christ, (name).” I wonder about this guy and his life.<\/p>\n

Says my husband, “He’s just your basic Christian fundamentalist selling bootleg heads on the Internet. What’s to wonder about?”<\/i><\/p>\n

Hee! Okay, I’ll just take my Picard head and move along. Engage!
