These two vinyl buddies joined the clan on a pilgrimage til Trader Vic's in Hamburg many years ago. As is reguired when tiki hunting in a city notorious for sin, it was a riotous trip. Beds were peed in, faces were slapped, too much was drunken, rock 'n' roll music was bought, people disappeared in areas of ill repute and old men went early to bed.
In the middle of all the fun, we also found ourselves in a skate shop, where these two grabed my attention.
Now this was all before my addiction had properly revealed itself, and I innocently thought a couple of two inch vinyl toys couldn't possible cause any harm. I bet my wife would love to go back and stop that little purchase.

So were these two pawns of World Industries the evil seed that lead to our humble home becoming over grown with toys? It could well be. I remember one of my friends commenting at the time, that I had a silly grin on my face from the moment I laid eyes on the flamming duo. Truth be told, I still get the same grin every time I notice them standing on the shelf by the end of my bed.
