Hottest Christmas Toy for Dumbest Generation of Parents Ever Born

This, readers, is supposedly one of the hottest toys for the 2008 holiday season. This thing costs $39.99. It looks like something Baby Bigfoot dug out of his nose. Am I getting old, or is this country going to hell in a hand basket?

Let's bring back the good old days, when dad went out in a blizzard on Christmas Eve, spent six hours standing on line, and fought off three crazed 80's moms with triangular metal earrings to get me Pauly Jason Cabbage Patch Kid. At least that toy resembled a human. Sorry Muhammad Ali, but my dad is the greatest.

As a grandfather now, Dad says I need to make my kids more afraid of me, (as they climb on his lap and box his ears). I know he's right. Maybe if I buy one of these yucky things, that will make me scarier. Problem solved, dad. Thank you, China!

My Cabbage Kid's name was Cliff Edward, I called him Cliffy and my brothers friends established a organized crime organization called, CPK (Cabbage Patch Killers). I had to put Cliffy in the witness protection program.

That looks like something I would have enjoyed chewing when I was a puppy. I got in too much trouble for doing things like that though so now I am afraid of baby toys. Sounds like a lot of money for a chew toy.

Page was just putting a diaper on Andre Thomas, my baldie, not preemie Cabbage Patch Kid. I still can't believe that my parents got those dolls for me and my sis!

Dear Internet Traveler,

Welcome to my writer's blog, started about six years ago for fun. Over time, the writing I have posted has ranged from personal reflection, to Long Island history research, to tall tales for my own amusement, to feature articles for local newspapers. As you can see from topics listed here, I travel in many mental directions in regard to interests. Click on the tabs and labels to explore my strange mind which senses that you may be having a criss-cross day. If so, perhaps this blog will distract you. However, please note that if you tell me my blog is beautiful just to get me to advertise rhinoplasty surgery and cheap drugs from Canada in your comment, I will ask the gods to give you a tail that cannot be concealed.

Fondly,

Loren Christie
