That Ken is ready for anything.

Simon. An incredibly painful and lame bit of pun-ishment suggests itself:

Nothing is beyond our ken…

What about Ken? Does he have a willie?

Ithaca. No willie. Just a pair of flesh-coloured undies. I feel comfortable enough with my virile heterosexuality to yank down his trews and take a pic/peek. Here you are:

are you sure that’s really a Ken doll and not a Yahoo Serious action figure?

Not sure at all, though I doubt Mattel would ever have slummed it to the point of putting out Yahoo Serious dolls. My bet is still on the “Dude, they repossessed my Porsche!” 80s, smackhead Ken.

Don’t eat pizza in Italy, it’s not good there…

I’d heard bad things about the quality of Venetian restaurants but I think we chose fairly carefully. Almost everything I had was delicious, but we didn’t eat in any of the “Menus in 8 languages” tourist traps.

At a casual glance Mr.Fox is certainly well turned out but monocle aside he’s a dead ringer for the proprietor of the carnival coconut shy…

You speak as if you’ve had some carnie experience…but if I guess correctly you’re more used to shying the oval ball than the old coconut. Actually, you’ve just reminded me that fairgrounds provide plenty of opportunities to win manky toys. Providing you’re not shy enough to try…and shy…

What about Ken? Does he have a willie? If not, what does this tell us about Barbie? From his appearance Ken appears to have been a 'metrosexual' before the word was coined...
