The horrors of shopping...

[thom_f]

So I went to the mall the other day to get Christmas presents, as well as a housewarming gift for Carson and Kyan, which was supposed to be a surprise, but oh well, now you both know. Of course, you don't know what it IS, so there's still a surprise element. Anyway, I'm going to leave the mall when I see the toy store up ahead. Thinking I could get

I think those Boo-bah things are actually kind of... endearing. I want a blue one :\

[thom_f]

They are TERRIFYING. I was thinking of buying tons more for Halloween and making a haunted Boo-bah house.

Well, I will admit that any toy that teaches a child to loll it's head back and spin it around is vaguely terrifying. But then again, have you seen The Wiggles? Those men are kind of... scary, too.

OOhh. I want to come to it. How much will you be charging?

[thom_f]

Yes! It's like one step away from an Exorcist doll. I've seen the commercials for The Wiggles, about them wanting to have a "wiggly wiggly Christmas", and I think that's all I can really take.

I might just make it free. I might feel guilty taking money from people who will end up being scarred for life.

Those things creep me out too. I change the channel when a commercial comes on for them. I hope my kids don't want them.

[thom_f]

I sincerely hope your kids won't want them, too. No one should be subjected to these things. Mine is hidden in the bottom of the closet right now.

I've never heard of them. They sound like good stocking stuffers though. I know a few people I'd like to send them to.

[thom_f]

A stocking stuffer?! That is just cruel.

Those boo-bah things are just WRONG. I thought the Teletubbies were bad, these are worse.

[thom_f]

They are creatures of the devil. Give me a teletubby over a boo-bah any day.
