I thought you might enjoy this post from last winter when The Mantel Gang had some good times. They haven't made an appearance on my blog for a while because they've been working so hard.
Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
At last the time has come for The Mantel Gang to share what they did over the holidays. First, they moved to their holiday headquarters––a secret location known as Top Shelf of Bookcase.
They took the time to attend some public events, however, starting with their attendance at a Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Following the parade, they buckled down and got to work, but someone new joined them to monitor their health. It's Dr. Fauci!He's so diligent that even in retirement he doesn't want his friends to get sick.
Their next public event was The National Tree Lighting Ceremony.
After working very hard throughout most of December, everyone took a break just before Christmas so they could enjoy the holidays.
They gathered in a new location––Top of Armoire––where they went walking in a winter wonderland.
Then President Biden wanted to attend church. He invited them all to join him. Suddenly everyone was busy. They claimed they had plans with their families or had already accepted other invitations.
Don't tell Joe, but they actually gathered around the Christmas tree to play some drinking games, led by Justice Ginsburg and Nancy Pelosi, who raised their gavels in unison.
Hillary imbibed a little too much and started to sing, which almost broke up the party.
Here you can see she holds out a glass of liquid refreshment for Barack, but he preferred to smoke his holidays away.
The action figures haven't decided where they'll gather next. Do they want to move back to The Mantel, where they're on display all the time, or would they prefer a more secluded spot? I can tell you they've done a lot of whispering about classified documents. Shhhhhh!
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
Woot woot
ReplyDeleteWoot woot to you too!
DeleteLove this post! Love those videos! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteEven though I made the videos, I snorted when I watched them.
DeleteHAHA! Love this post, Janie! It put a smile on my face. I would really enjoy getting together with this bunch.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're back, Martha!
DeleteBig smiles. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling, EC.
DeleteSo funny!!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it.
DeleteYou are hilarious and it looks like Janie Junebug and Wrangling Rebekah had a really good time.
ReplyDeleteWe did! And we weren't even drunk.
DeleteI will snorting at the parade video all day!
ReplyDeletexoxo
It makes me snort.
DeleteYou've taken art to the next level!
ReplyDeleteTo the next level of silliness maybe.
DeleteI think you need to add a spy balloon. Just sayin'
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent idea!
Deletemmmmmmm, are you washing the fruit off before you're eating it Janie?!?!?! LMAO!!!!!! I was laughing so hard, my side hurt!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll take that as a compliment.
DeleteI liked that and enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you did, Joanne.
DeleteI think you have too much time on your hands!!
ReplyDeleteI have to make time for fun!
DeleteI giggled all the way through this. Love your 'take' on everything. Have a great week, Janie. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI'm always happy when someone laughs at my silliness.
DeleteWhere did you get your figurines? Those are great. I love that Hilary is in a pants suit;)
ReplyDeleteThey're sold online at https://shop.fctry.com. When I wanted Hillary, she was sold out, so I bought her on ebay. I think she's available now.
DeleteI love the adventures they have. I think a window sill where they can keep an eye on the comings and goings. Although they probably have cameras set up for that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they need to visit a window sill to monitor a Chinese spy balloon.
DeleteI'm enjoying your Mantel Gang:) Have a great one.
ReplyDeletePlastic politicians are clearly more interesting than real ones
ReplyDeleteThat is SOME COLLECTION of action figures. Personally, I'd add some villains (we know who) for some interesting action and reaction
ReplyDeleteThe company made a figure of you-know-who. He had removable hair and the middle finger of one hand was up. He sold out. Some people have him for sale on ebay, but he's too expensive for me. It would be nice for my heroes to have the chance to beat him up.
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day, Janie. Sandra sandracox.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThe mantel gang!!!! Outstanding! I suppose they have to keep their travels on the up and up away from the canine crew (Thats is not to suggest that Franklin or Peneope would ever EVER do anything naughty, just that they might not want to swim in any bowls)
ReplyDeleteIf the gang were in a spot where doggies could grab them, Franklin would not be interested. Penelope, however, is a thief/kidnapper. She might attack them, which makes me wonder if Penelope is a secret Republican.
DeleteLove the mantel gang! I bet you can have a lot of fun coming up with stories for them to act out.
ReplyDeleteI like to move them around so they can get up to all sorts of things. Previously, Barack got mad at Joe for holding his hand.
