If one of those came alive and tried to chase me around the house like the Zuni fetish doll I'd be too busy laughing to notice its razor sharp teeth. Clever. | ||

The Chinese writing literally says "you can shave doll." I'm guessing they're from China, but I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for hairy baby dolls next time I'm in a department store... | ||

The Chinese probably tell their offspring that occidental children are born with lots of hair in odd places. | ||

Actually, there's an element of truth in that, Hubert! Most Chinese people think of westerners as being hairy ('hung mao fan' - 'red-haired barbarian' - was a common appellation, in the old days). You'd be surprised at how ignorant some people can be about such generalisations, even supposedly well-educated people. I remember more than one professor at university who would routinely explain to the class (I was the only 'western' foreign student in the whole university back then, in Taipei) that foreigners were more hairy because they hadn't advanced to the level of evolution of the Chinese. I had to put up with nonsense like this from time to time, but the good thing is that they were never mean about it; even remarks which were clearly quite offensive when I stopped to think about them were hard to get too worked up about, because they were said in such an innocent way, without a hint of malice. People here can be highly credulous of all kinds of dubious 'facts', especially if it's something that's been instilled over time. They're especially superstitious about ghosts and the like. I think I'll hunt down one of those dolls and send it to Lord P - he can perform an incantation at Probert Towers and bring the thing to hideous life. Imagine one of those loose on the streets of Bristol.... | ||

Huw: I'm not surprised. Matter of fact, I have begun to think of us westerners as barbarians . . . | ||
