Posted by TFG on May 20th, 2004

I need to post, I guess, and I can’t resist this ancient email joke, from the Barndog.

>
> Denton Barbie
>
> This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair,
> archless feet, hairy armpits, no makeup, and Birkenstocks with white

>
> McKinney Barbie
>
> Is pregnant, drives a new Ford Excursion, and is perfect in every way.
> We don't know who Ken is cause he's always away hunting or in Japan on
> business. McKinney Barbie aspires to become Plano Barbie. Not cheap,
> but still very naive.
>
> College Station Barbie
>
> Into football, animals and bonfires. 98% belong to a cult, 2% are free
> thinking and void of any additions. Does nothing but complain about
> Austin Barbie.
>
>
> Austin Barbie/Ken
>
> This versatile doll can be easily converted from Barbie to Ken by
> simply adding or subtracting the snap-on parts. Likes to
> "experiment". Doesn't understand why College Station Barbie complains
> so much.

    And I live, what, six and a half minutes from Mesquite? Unfortunately, this one is a little out of date. Mesquite Barbie is turning into Garland Barbie, with Sunnyvale Barbie taking her place.

    Yeeeeeee-ha!

    Lake Dallas Barbie
    With her flip-flops, blue jean short-shorts and bleached blonde hair, LD Barbie spends her time keeping her 7 kids from falling into the Lewisville Lake and collecting bait and launch fees from the local fishermen. He also dreams of being Plano Barbie but can’t bring herself to dump gas station Ken.
