Continuing our salute to Lil' Vet'rins (not yet an actual product line, but if I could just manage to find a free moment here...) I've got a few more patriotic collectibles to share, along with a few questions. First a question: why does Military Collectibles Today feature 2 pages for the Army, 2 pages for the Navy, 2 pages for the Air Force, only one sad, solitary, and off-puttingly tasteful collectible for the Coast Guard, and 15 pages for the Marines? Any speculative commentary on this would be appreciated. Next some proof that patriotic knick-knacks don't have to be cute and mass-produced in order to be super creepy, and in order to prevent the nightmare-filled slumber that would otherwise follow an encounter with Patrick and the Shelf-Sitters you can also order a pillow coated with ground glass. Finally, two beary horrid collectibles with a related question: how does libearty differ from the much less popular liberty? Well, liberty is related to liberal, and is defined as a : the power to do as one pleases, b : freedom from physical restraint, c : freedom from arbitrary or despotic control, d : the positive enjoyment of various social, political, or economic rights and privileges, and e : the power of choice, whereas libearty seems to be limited to the positive enjoyment of various bears, angels, or other precious and whimsical opiates. Though, to end this on a more positive note, a search for libearty did turn up this very worthwhile link that is pretty much the antithesis of all the empty sentimentality above.
