Sorry, I know you would think that MINIon #1984 would wear a black t-shirt, sport trendy glasses, and talk about thinking differently. Then again, maybe you thought MINIon#1984 would have something to do with a cage that had rats in it War is Peace, etc… nope. Would you believe that MINIon #1984 is in the Navy? I was given these rather cryptic instructions – “Navy Dixie Cup” and a Neckerchief. Not having served in the military, (my father wanted each of his sons to be John Wayne and therefore a true American hero- one of my brothers did fly with Brian Williams and Seal Team 6 in Afghanistan from what he says, besides that we got nothing) I decided that teaching kids in this day and age was an heroic enough effort. So I made a Mr. Salty MINIon… You know my grandmother had a massive jar of pretzels in her house- mmmm… pretzels.
