Those are cute...

Didn't know the bobble head buddha would be such a hit.

It's evidently touched a nerve with some of us.

Gee, and all I ever had in the Dodge Dart was a bobble-head German Shepherd

But I don't think I could fix a bobble-head Buddha on my bike - he'd end up in the gutter.

And metaphysically speaking, that would be kind of...weird.

German Shepherd`s a good thing!

And I seem to recall he was fuzzy, too.

Years later, when I was married, we bought a pure-bred Shepherd. I had to call the breeder to take her back after 3 days, because I had been watching her closely, waiting for her head to go up and down, and it never did.

Yeah, I was just gonna say, my dad's SO just now finally went to Chinatown (she'd been threatening to go for *years* now ) and brought back not 1, but 2 Buddhas. She's *very* happy with them. When I didn't notice them right away, she said, "Aren't you going to say anything about my Buddhas?"

For real? Hmm....German Shepherds are usually pretty smart.

You might just tell her, "I am not your Buddha's keeper".

My brother brought back a foot-tall Buddha (Hotei, the "happy" Buddha with the belly) from Korea. He loved that thing - set up a special mini-temple for it, burned incense around it, etc.

Of course, being who and what I am, even when I was 8 years old, I made a little girdle for Buddha out of an old Ace bandage and some safety pins.

When I die, I think they're going to create a special new level of Hell just for me.
