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.

Not to mention turning your child into one of them...

They're just blatantly gay Australian middle-age men who have nothing better to do with their lives than sing a song about wiggling and enjoying life... it's kind of creepy, really.

Wow. This sounds exciting :D

I'm relieved right now that I don't have kids. I'd have to take it to Boo-bah therapy.

...that's EXTREMELY creepy. Although, if we ever have a Queer Eye musical, we will be blatantly gay middle-age men with nothing better to do with our lives than singing a song about making straight men better and enjoying life. Need to make a mental note to have "no musicals" added to my contract.

It will be :D. Too bad it's so far off.

I bet there's a million therapists cashing in on that idea right now.

Aw. If it happens, I'll join in. After all, I'm a living legend of a lyricist and musician. And I'll do it for free, too. Only because I'm pretty gay myself.

Yeah. Far too long away... Hmm. It'd make a good Valentine's Day Party theme...
