The 6 Best Little Sisters in Pop Culture
My little sister’s birthday was last week, and I’m still having a hard time believing that she’s in her mid-20s. It helps that we live several states apart and only see each other on the major holidays. But still, come on, world! Cut me some slack! There’s no way she’s that old now. Regardless of age, I still love her, and the best way I know how to show love these days is with a List of Six dedicated to her.
This also qualifies as her birthday present.
“Happy Birthday to you…”
I did a similar list a few years ago for my brother around his birthday. But in researching this list, I discovered that brothers are a much bigger deal in pop culture than sisters. His list was all about awesome brother teams, like Mario and Luigi, but that sort of thing apparently doesn’t exist very often in pop culture when it comes to sister siblings. What’s up with that? Besides the obvious gender inequality inherent in all of fiction.
Still, I ain’t buying her a real present. So here’s a list of the 6 coolest little sisters in pop culture!
More Simpsons LEGOs – I Never Thought I’d See the Day
The only appropriate word is ‘SQUEE!’.
Just look at those beauties. You can check out a gallery of each individual one at Gizmodo. They each get a little accessory! It’s adorable! I’m having to wipe up some drool over here! They’re gorgeous! They’re works of art! They are probably more expensive than I could ever afford. They’re apparently $4 a piece and will be ready in time for the all-LEGO episode of the Simpsons in May.
Some days I am truly amazed that we get to live in this world.
Why Did No One Tell Me They Were Making a Charlie Brown Movie?
I think it looks kind of adorable, quite frankly. It looks like a fun, stylized, modernly animated take on Charlie Brown and Snoopy. And that music is the music of life. Here’s hoping that whoever is behind this movie makes it a good one. I long ago gave up all hope that any classic cartoon or comic was sacred, and that Hollywood would actually try to preserve something. So I’m cool with the Peanuts being turned into a film. Why not? No point in fighting the inevitable. But man, this is Charlie Brown! Don’t we all owe a little part of our souls to Charlie Brown?
I hope my favorite Peanuts character, 5, is in the movie
I Don’t Own Any Simpsons LEGOs Because Money
Did you know that The Simpsons house LEGO set is $200?! What does LEGO think we are, made of money? Or that we’re all money tree farmers? Darn it, I knew I should have gone into money tree farming! I guess I’ll just have to satisfy my desires with all the fun that other people are having with their LEGO Simpsons houses. Like Monsieur Caron, for example.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Post-Credits Scene Has Leaked Early!
Sort of! If Only Leigh herself ever reads this, I want her to know that I’ll be posting every video she makes from now on. They are adorkable!
She does the best voices too! Let’s hope the real Guardians of the Galaxy movie is half this funny!
