Top 10 most dangerous toys of all time.
This article had me rolling with laughter, tears streaming down my face.
Oh my god, so damn funny.
The Fisher-Price Power Wheels Motorcycle is one of those toys kids salivate over for years. Even adults can barely contain their jealousy when the little brat from down the block whizzes by on that shiny plastic hog. But the ride wasn't always so smooth. In fact, on some models, there was a rather serious glitch.Eager youngsters who gunned the throttle found that it often stayed gunned, stuck in a petrifying state of perma-acceleration. Presumably, the child on the motorcycle was then taken on a hellish, intestine-twisting scream ride. At one point, he or she would face choices unthinkable except in an Evel Knievel meets Knightrider crossover episode: Do I jump? Or do I ride it out and see if I can clear the gully? Is it sentient? Can it be reasoned with?

Just playing with the new toy.
I got some minutes for the new camera phone today and decided to play around with the camera.
Hee hee.
Kali does like Shahiro but Shahiro is a pain in the ass.
She's always attacking Kali and trying to kick her ass.
As you can see, Kali is not amused at all.
Click for bigger.
This will be fun tonight. I can take pics of the goofy people I hang out with now...lol

Been doing much of nothing today.
I did the errands, some general cleaning, a load of laundry and that's about it.
I have other wise been playing video games with the kids.
I really like The Urbz.
It's fun. Not at all like the Sims for PS2. There is no annoying "blue line". The loading times suck but it's fun and trying to get all the goals met so you can go here and there and get a good rep is addictive.
When I get that stupid usb cord, (mine is about 3 feet too short) I'm going to hook it up to the pc and see what all this Black Eyed Peas shit is about. I guess you can like download different music into the game and they are a featured artist or something.
Will figure it out eventually.
Later days.

The room is done man.
Just a few small things to put away like blankets. Basically fold them all and place them back on the top bunk for later use.
But I can see the floor, the books and games are straightened and 6 large bags of crap are gone.
Got some more of my bead supplies so I can get busy on those here after I take a little rest break.
Having a good day. Getting a lot done and just hanging out.
Mark's going to teach me how to play Battlefront later.
Cool.

I want these for my bathroom.
Ya know, little conversation starters? I used to have this gigantic poster of Frank Zappas nose directly above the toilet but it creeped so many people out and then at one party one night, someone tore it down and destroyed it. Asses. Tampons and these rolls of tp.
Way cute.

I'm basically in video game hell every time he sleeps over.
The boys have now been playing the PS2 since 7pm.
This is a long ass time for me.
Sure, there is nothing on our cable less tv but repeats of it's a wonderful life etc but man, am I bored to death.
And they are loud.
Not just the game being loud but the boys playing the games are loud.
I just don't really have the patience for it right now.
I'm in a bit of pain cuz it's slightly cold and rainy and my arthritis in my hips and knees is just flared up and no amount of anti-inflam or pain reliever seems to be helping.
Can you imagine me back in a state that is cold for 9 months if this little bit of cold is killing me?
Oh yeah, I'd be bed bound all winter.
Whatever.
I think I'm just gonna go have one last cig, read another chapter and hit the bed.
Later days.

I figured out what I want for xmas.
I'm just posting these cuz I like them and yes I want them but no, you don't have to buy them for me. It's simply a wishwant.
I was looking through the Disney catalog that my sis dropped off last week and found the most magnificent mirror I have ever seen and I wants it.
The Nightmare Before Christmas wall mirror. If the link goes bad, just type item number 95131 into the search box.
This item will be mine eventually. Yes it will.
I also want these cuz they are my favorite in that whole movie, Lock, Shock and Barrel mini bean bags.
I also really like this purse.

Controversial Toy Surprise Recalled
August 27, 2004 — A toy surprise found inside a bag of candy sold in Florida has stirred a lot of nerves, and controversy.
The toy is two towers with a jetliner in between that appears to be crashing into one of the buildings.
Anna Rodriguez bought a package of the candy for her grandson without realizing that the toy was inside.
To make matters worse, the toy also had a product number "9-0-1-1."
The company that distributes the candy bags, Lisy, was offended by the toy and has decided to recall 17-thousand of the bags.
Lisy says it bought the toys sight unseen from L & M Import/Export from Miami. Which, surprisingly, said it had no problem with the toy.

Video gaming.
Marks birthday is next week but I went ahead and gave him the present he asked for early.
He asked for Dynasty Warriors 4 XL and he loves it.
He first started playing Dynasty Warriors as a demo game we had and then he started playing them all and this is the one he wanted.
You can load saved game data from DW4 into the XL so you can change their hair, armour etc.
Some of the features are:
‡ Expansion and "remix" of popular fighting game
‡ New Xtreme gameplay mode pits you against random skirmishes for as long as it takes
‡ New Legends mode with 42 stages
‡ Arena Challenge permits one-on-one duels
‡ For 1 or 2 players
I don't do detailed reviews because I don't play these games.
I play horror games and puzzle type stuff. Wars and battles and stuff is for them.
It's a good game all in all though. They have been playing for days on end and still are no where near beating it.
Hours of fun they tell me.

Twisted Land of Oz.
More specifically, this one. Click it.
Yeah, I know. I am twisted myself for liking that and maybe I got dropped on my head as a baby but damn! Those toys are fucking cool.
The boys told me about them.
Me: What are you looking at?
Mark: McFarlane Toys at Toy Wiz.
Me: What kind of toys? Spawn?
Mark: No, Twisted Land of Oz.
Me: What?
Mark: You know, Dorothy but uh, she looks bad.
Me: ??
5 minutes later.
Me: Oh hell yeah!!!
