So yesterday I got a box of body parts in the mail and when I pieced them all together they were a bunch of angry cross-dressers.
I couldn’t make this shit up.
Lego sent me this to celebrate their new line or anniversary or something and I honestly have no idea what the hell to say here except that this pretty much sums up my entire life. Other bloggers get invited to go on CNN or get free furniture. I get an angry transvestite army.
Even my kid was like “Fucking-A, this shit is disturbing” except that she’s three so it was more like she picked up the girl/boy and said in a really deep, masculine voice “My name is Lori?” and then looked to me for guidance and I was all “I got nothin’, kid” and Victor couldn’t stop laughing.
And let me just go on record here as saying that I am a HUGE supporter of the transgendered community and I think Eddie Izzard in drag is 10 times hotter than Brad Pitt covered in nougat, but this is just bizarre. There was not one face in the box that wasn’t the threatening moustachioed dude.
PS. Someone just sent me the lego version of Eddie Izzard’s “cake or death”. I’m still confused but at least it makes this post slightly more cohesive*.
*No, it really doesn’t really at all.
Update: So it turns out that this angry moustachioed head is most often used in sets where he plays a patient about to undergo some sort of procedure. Of course it is.
Also, I got a very nice response from Lego which said “ Each kit was supposed to contain an assortment of random parts; however, it looks like yours somehow consisted only of angry mustache faces. Please know that this was not at all done intentionally or to freak anyone out in any way.” I also heard from several other people who got packages from Lego and none of them contained the angry moustachioed man head. So basically I control the entire market. It’s a lot like cornering the market on gold, which is enviable and glamorous. Only switch “gold” with “angry moustachioed heads”, and “enviable and glamorous” with “perplexing and mildly uncomfortable.”
Comment of the day: It’s like a bunch of tiny Tony Orlandos. ~Missie

I can’t wait for that Lego game to come out on the Wii. Move over Star Wars and Indiana Jones. They could make it part games skills like running in heels and part Guitar Hero except you’d be singing “It’s raining men.”

Anything Eddie Izzard rocks my world. I love his bit on the cunning use of flags. And about queues.
My father saw him in NYC a month ago. I had a moment of panic when he called me, the day of the show, to tell me he was going. I was all like How fast can I make it to NYC? Could I get away with robbing someone for a ticket? OMG, how the hell am I going to get to NYC??? I NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT AWAY.
I never made it to the show, but I heard it was a good one.

Um..I’m not sure what to make of this other than Lego is a very, very progressive company. I’m now rethinking our trip to Lego Land. Now we are DEFINITELY going.
jenboglass’s last blog post..Working Out For Each Other
I NEED some of these! Izzard is one of my favorite actors – I got to see his show live earlier this summer – amazing! But really, how can I get these legos?
Well, I’d be pissed off too is someone sent me off before I had my upper lip waxed and I had to wear purple (pink?) sequins!
Wait, are you sure this was just not a reader goofing on you?
Or perhaps this was the Lego Hermaphrodite Special Edition. Did you not get the press release on that. I hear Toys ‘r Us is doing a major transgender day to kick this off.
I like Ingrid’s idea. If I recall my son used to mix all the sets up anyway. Perhaps this was a child driven initiative!

If you haven’t seen it yet, look up his piece on Darth Vader in the Death Star canteen. Pure genius.
Er, Bloggess, there’s no denying your unusual status within the celebrity blogosphere. Just remember, there are kids in Africa who’d do anything to have a cross-dressing lego army… ok, maybe not.
Noopster’s last blog post..Radical Tele-marketers and my fatal error
I think the lego semi-dude in the overhalls is HAWT. Perhaps it’s the way Lego was able to properly depict transvestite immigrant farmers in their true light on a little inch-and-a-half plastic toy…? I don’t know. But this is definitely art.
I’ll admit to making transgender Lego people as a kid by switching around the hair, bodies and faces. But to receive a whole box of Lego people and they all have that scary man face is just plain bizarre.
T with Honey’s last blog post..How to remove a bat from your house
I absolutely love how they have long hair and ponytails and shit. Goes perfectly with the mustaches and sequiny tops. Now what do you suppose has got them all upset? I think it’s because they weren’t given cute shoes to go with those sequins.

“hey I got a great idea that will speak to sexually confused people”… “no, not people that think they might be gay, but people that have both parts”
Where in that pitch was that “idea approver” going like “hey – that is so awesome!” i mean they have lego starwars, lego pirates, lego dinosaurs… why not have lego gender wars.
great post – i laughed… and that video you sent was awesome.
Aman’s last blog post..Updated comments
Y’know, those figures wouldn’t be all that bad if it weren’t for the faces. I’m guessing someone typed in the wrong part number for the head. The question then becomes, whose head is that? Is it just “generic angry guy with cheesy porn-star mustache” or is does it have some cinematic tie-in? I think it’s pretty safe to assume that Lego doesn’t have a Ron Jeremy minifig.

But those are so mind blowingly awesome that I would endure a trip to Toys R Us for them

Walking With Scissors’s last blog post..War Wounds
Oh, wait, I found it. A google image search for minifig brown mustache yielded a lot of images, one of which looks right. It’s called (unsurprisingly) “Minifig Head with Bushy Brown Eyebrows and Moustache Pattern” (3626bpx135). Details here: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3626bpx135. Looks like it’s included in a lot of different sets including “King’s Castle” and “Escape from Privet Drive”. There’s nothing in the list even remotely like “Grumpy Cross-dresser Playset”.
Steve’s last blog post..“All the parts of the internet”
Holy crap, Steve. So basically this head is most often used as a frustrated patient about to undergo some sort of surgery.

Okay, I’m past the extreme Queen Lego Set jealousy, but, sweetie!!! Eddie Izzard? Christ in a rowboat, I have “Velvet Goldmine” on continuous loop in my house…ooh,now I got the vapors…
Seriously. What is that? I’m trying to make sense of it all. Maybe they’re supposed to be army lego people…but then why the pink? And why is Lego sending you shit? What kind of a relationship do you have with them to where they just randomly send you they’re latest arrivals??
I have to commend Lego for stepping out of the box though…it’s about time some companies out there started embracing the transgendered. They’re severly overlooked in the community.

Lotta’s last blog post..Smurf Jizz and Teddy Bear Porn
No explanation. There were also a pair of 3D glasses and a DVD with a one-minute commercial for legos (non-transvestites) in the box. That’s it. I’ve emailed the company twice asking what this means. No response.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Yes, but… Do you have a flag?
I swear you couldn’t ask for better material if you paid for it.

katelin’s last blog post..Fuzzy brain thoughts.
I have to make a public mental note not meant to ostracise or embarass anyone. It would seem to me that about every fifth comment associated with maybe all of your blog comments ever describes how a perhaps otherwise normal person spews coffee or an alcoholic beverage uncontrolably all over their homes or offices as a result of your ninja-like, surprise-attack wittiness.
That’s all, I just wanted to point that out. Maybe there are some Kegel type throat exercises these people could do to avoid this in the future.
I freakin’ love these legos. Love ‘em! I’ve been looking for a way to teach my kids about alternative lifestyles, but since we live out in the sticks where all the gays are banished as soon as they turn 18, never to be heard of again, it hasn’t been easy.
Who knew Legos would solve the problem for me?
Plus, not all bloggers get invited to do things. Take me, for example. CNN hasn’t called yet. Bastards.

How the hell else was lego gonna get rid of those heads? At least they had the presence of mind to send them to YOU!
Kile’s last blog post..Tuesday Smackdown
What I want to know is how did you get on the mailing list for free Lego?!? I’d gladly trade my place in the “we’ve got a book written by a man about fatherhood and need people to review it who don’t have a vagina” list for a spot in the “free hermaphrodite lego” list.
I’m not sure what that says about me, though.

Anissa@Hope4Peyton’s last blog post..Playing Their Reindeer Games
Just got a very nice response from Lego: “…Each kit was supposed to contain an assortment of random parts; however, it looks like yours somehow consisted only of angry mustache faces. Please know that this was not at all done intentionally or to freak anyone out in any way. In light of all of this, we do appreciate the humor you have put into your post and appreciate even more the fun your readers seem to be having.”
They also even offered to switch out my transvestites for a wider selection of torsoes and heads but it turns out that my Uncle Frank was right. Once you go transvestite, you never go back. Seems like that should rhyme.
Way too funny! I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter. Any chance I can get some of those Legos too? Want to make sure she’s prepared for Kindergarten! LOL

Shoegirl’s last blog post..A Black Cloud With a Side of Rotten Meat
Okay, so this is an odd way to promote the third decade of the “mini-fig” but even the transgendered deserve their own Lego set.
You can’t shield children forever either and at least you were around when your daughter learned about cross dressing. My kid learned it at camp from two kids who told her how their dad waits until their mom isn’t home and they all play dress up with her underwear.
My daughter’s stuffed penguin dressed in drag for a week after that and she would say “buts he’s really still a ‘he’, Mom”
Either trannie legos, promoting the new season of “Swingers” either way, would’ve made childhood much more entertaining.

I actually ditched Macy’s Drunk In The Shoe Section Night at BlogHer to go see Eddie Izzard. I thoroughly agree….way hotter that the Pitt. Way. Although I would prefer to lick the nougat off Eddie than even visualize it on Brad.
And, while we have close to 5.2 million pounds of Lego in our home, we have none of those little s/he minifigs. Maybe they’ve decided to scrap the Star Wars theme and go with a new Tranny line? It’s about damn time those Swedes embraced the transgendered community.

Okay, I’m going to precede this by saying, I only looked at this stupid page bitching about these Lego people which I am sad to say I stumbled to, however…..HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU HONESTLY SAY YOU’RE LIKE MOTHER TERESA ONLY BETTER?!?!?!?!?!? As far as I’m concerned you’re a huge conceited bitch, if you’ve even done a hundredth of the shit that Mother Teresa did for other people I’ll be shocked, especially seeing as you have time to bitch about your free Lego transvestites. You’re an absolute whore and I hop you die a slow and painful death you stupid bitch. Feel free to email me back and explain yourself, I want to hear what I’m sure is a massively fucked up reason for saying such a thing.

I’m hoping Poster #271 went back and read a post or two and felt like a total douche canoe and is now pretending to be someone else and posting something more interesting.

When I hate people I simply seethe. I need to learn a lesson from #271. If I “hop” the other person dies, then I get my workout while also allowing my anger to fester. Hopping helps develop balance too. Win-win.

#271 comment = WIN
Mother Teresa was a bitch. Get the facts straight about the woman before defending her on a comedic blog, take a breather, drink some mushed up oreos, and explain yourself through e-mail to every person. I hurt you so much you made me smile
Dude, do you kiss your Mother Teresa with that mouth?
#271 may know who Mother Theresa is, but (s)he apparently doesn’t know who The Bloggess is. Which means (s)he lives in a hole, because how do you not know The Bloggess!?!? Maybe when (s)he finds out she insulted one of the purest and funniest and best people on the Internet, (s)he’ll reconsider calling you such names, which is very un-Mother Theresa like in the first place. #271, you could take a cue from Mother Theresa about letting God do the judging.

So good to see that #271′s love of Mother Theresa has inspired them to such loving diatribes! And for the record – Mother Theresa would TOTALLY love the Blogess. I mean, she’s a nun – its kind of a requirement.

Jenny,
You need to be a bit more understanding of hirsute females. The Freak Show at the carnivals where the bearded women use to work are mostly a relic of history – now they are delegated to Lego land. How sad. They may be just trying to get enough funds together to take care of their polycystic ovary syndrome.
Literally crying tears of hysteria over here.
.-= Katy´s last blog ..Unit on Plants =-.
um wow. Mother Theresa would totally approve of this blog- it’s something that brings laughter to massive amounts of people. And we all know that laughter is the best medicine. You’ve done much much more than whoever commenter 271 is to make this world a better place. As the saying goes, if you don’t have enemies, you don’t have character. I <3 The Bloggess!
My voice is NOT that low…it’s just that I haven’t gotten around to giving up the cigars yet.

Jenny, what I think she didn’t understand was that you are ‘like Mother Teresa only better’ because you put out, not because of your staggering noteworthy causes.

All she ever did was run around India saying, “Don’t you know me??? I’m Mother Fucking Teresa!” That’s why you’re better.

Wow. It’s a damned good thing commenter # 271 wasn’t put in charge of writing Mother Teresa’s epitaph.

I’m so glad you posted the link to that article. I never knew!

Man, I must not have learned the same history of Mother Theresa as commenter #271. I had no idea she’d approve of “hoping” someone a slow and painful death, calling people whores and bitches AND using retarded in a derogatory way. If only we all lived in a caring, respectable world like commenter #271. Thank you for reaffirming the love everyone has for radical Christians with no sense of humor like yourself. And since you have no understanding of sarcasm, I totally ruined the awesomeness that is using “radical.” Thanks. I’ve compromised my own character now. I hop you’re happy #271!

That’s gotta be your mom commenting up there – a true Mother Theresa fan wouldn’t use that kind of fucking language.
I don’t know which I laughed harder at – That you received a angry tranvestite lego army or at comment #271.
“if you’ve even done a hundredth of the shit that Mother Teresa did for other people I’ll be shocked”
So there you have it folks – straight from someone who *knows*…
Mother Teresa “did shit”.
That’s not quite how I’d put it, but whatever. Anyone else done shit during their time on this planet?

No one just happens to stumble across a blog about trannie legos. #271 stop Googling ‘trannie legos’ and get some help. You need it.
You’re probably the only person to receive a corporate apology letter containing the phrase “to freak anyone out in any way.” You should frame it.
Jenny, I just read this and laughed myself into an asthma attack in the middle of my office.
My coworkers all came running … first, because they heard me *SCREAMING* with laughter, then because they heard me gasping for air … so they walk in and I’m lying half-conscious across my keyboard, wheezing, with tears running down my face because I CAN’T STOP FREAKING LAUGHING long enough to breathe. Way to go, bitch, you almost killed me.
On the plus side, you are my new Goddess. If I pray to you every night, do you think Lego will send me a do-it-yourself transvestite army kit too? One can only hope.
Re: comment 301:
I believe her exact phrase was “I’m Mother Fucking Theresa, Bitch!” Or maybe that was Rick James. I get them confused sometimes.OF
good to see that #271 is following in mother theresa’s footsteps. to be honest, i was shocked the first time i heard mother theresa using the words “whore” and “stupid bitch”, and wishing slow and painful deaths on people. but after a while, i got used to it, and could see the love and compassion behind her words. i think she called it “tough love”. #271 – keep carrying the message – you’re doing a marvelous job.

What exactly did 271 google to stumble on your blog?
I really like this post, it’s silly. :F
not only was 271 googling transvestite lego armies, but she managed to make it through a page of comments and STILL not get the joke. Brilliant – at least she has given us all a reason to feel superior. Maybe that was the point – so maybe she IS a do-gooder. It was all a clever ruse…touche 271.

You said the phrase “angry mustachioed heads” approximately 80 times in that post and I think that this entire post is a subliminal advertising campaign for some new cross-dress your feelings movements and I resent being used as a pawn Jenny. I demand you send me one of these “angry mustachioed figurines” as retribution.
Oh my god. I haven’t laughed this hard in ages. Soooo glad I came to this post again from the Ebay listing. 271/272 just made that completely worth it.
Someday, I hope to get hate mail and comments as fantastic as that

Fortunately the only way of “hoping someone dies” is if you are the giant from jack and the bean stalk and if you are HOLY SHIT YOU ARE A GIANT LIVING IN A CLOUD CITY and where do you get your pants the big and tall? Leave the religious diatribing for the jehovah’s witnesses.

Jen:
You have to hang on to Ole’ #231…she woth too much in entertainment value to let float off into the ozone. “Hopping mad” heh, heh. Keep up the good work.
So, after a year and a half, am I the only one wondering how you go about getting a free box of Legos? Those lil’ buggers are expensive! (BTW, we seem to be polar opposites in personality, but I can’t stop reading your blog! You make me giggle…)
Mother.Fuck! That is the funnies thing *ever*.
Wait, who’s Mother Teresa?
LOL, I already stumbled upon this ages ago, and then stupidly didn’t start reading your blog until this past week. But I’m so glad you linked to this post, because still could not stop laughing at the angry-lego-transvestites!
One. of. my. most. favorite. posts. evah! i love the tranny legos. bestest thing. i think you should make a necklace out of them and wear it to blogher. totally. or a belt. youre tiny. that would work.
p.s. can i have one? just one? they remind me of my brother. kinda. nevermind.
Am considerably late to this party, but have three comments for #271.
1. When expressing misdirected and nonsensical hostility in the form of a death-wish toward strangers on the Internet (and Jenny is, most certainly, a stranger to you, considering your ridiculous and completely incorrect characterization of her) it is best—if one wishes to be taken seriously—to employ some sort of proofreading and/or spell-checking mechanism(s) to ensure that one, indeed, manages to make one’s point without making one’s self look like an idiot. I “hop” you understand what I am saying.
2. Jenny is the LEAST conceited person I know, in real life or cyber-existence, and, if you were literate (see: comment 1) and intelligent enough to understand her blog(s), you would know this.
3. You’re an asshole.
You had me at clevage……..
I linked to this posting through shit-you-did-this-week because I was supposed to read Comment #271. I’m releived that I did because somehow I missed it when it was initially published. I’m going to ask that everyone step away from #271 and admire the unbelievable brilliance of “my name is Lori?”
I’ve said my piece; I hop everyone will reconsider…
I also hop I will learn to spell “relieved”
Are you going to respond to comment #271? If you do – I’m sure that it will be totally awesome and that Victor will not agree with your response – just guessing.

No, Jenny, I think comment #271 is MY mom. Sorry. She’s nutz. I have no idea how she learned to use the internet, though. She can’t even figure out how to use a CD player.
WEIRD.
Oh shit! Maybe my real Mom gotten eaten by pod people and that is why she is nutz, can’t use a CD player, but can use the internet?

That post made me laugh hard. Too hard. I read it while at work and the giggle fits set in and pretty soon there were tears (of joy) and uncontrollable laughter. My boss came over to check on me because he thought I was having convulsions or something. Then he just thought I was insane, kinda lame, and totally unprofessional. But it was worth it!

Second, Comment #271 is obviously by some ignorant pseudo-religious zealot, because what REAL religious zealot would use language like that or wish death on someone.
Third, Mother Theresa wasn’t the ‘saint’ everyone wants to make her out to be.
Lastly, I damned near peed myself laughing at Jenny’s reply.

Ooops – someone got fired for that balls up I’m sure.
Reminds me of a family friend who started working in a chocolate factory (before you ask, she is not an Oompa Loompa). She had to make two halves that would eventually fit together. They were then spewed out onto a conveyor belt that she then had to piece together to make one chocolate piece.
Except she had a brain freeze and only made one half, so when the conveyor belt started hurling chocolate pieces at her, she couldn’t get them to match up.
But the pieces. kept. coming.
It was an *actual* ‘I Love Lucy’ moment.
Moral of the story: we got 3 shopping bags FULL of chocolate halves.
(Which is not really a moral but the only good thing I took away from the experience. Shut up; I was 8 years old.)
P.S She did get fired for her balls up.
