Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Police detonate suspicious toy pony

Ha! They wouldn't even do that in the North. Well, they probably wouldn't do that in the North. I don't think most sectarian terrorists have enough in the way of classical education to think it would be funny.

Has the "war on terror" gone too far? Are people just needlessly afraid?
Yes and yes.

However, in this particular instance it worked out for the best. I am all for replacing the war on terror with the war on nightmarish robot ponies. [link] YIKES.

Now I'm disturbed that they didn't detonate all of them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I dunno - if I was the parent I might be trying to hold back laughter while I lectured my child for leaving the pony there.

Plus it'd be the perfect excuse to deny future requests for stuff:

"No, you can't have a goldfish. Remember when we gave you the RealPony and it got blown up?" Followed by my stifling a snicker....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Depends on how long they waited in line for one last Christmas...

Then I'd just make a video, starting with me waiting in line to buy RoboPony, then shots of the child unwrapping and playing with it, followed by footage of it blowing up. All the while, "Circle of Life" from The Lion King would be playing....

Okay, RoboPony is disturbing. What child would want THAT? That is the stuff of nightmares.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Post office was busy and understaffed, shocker. I hate it when I can't use the APC. So 2 out of 3 errands I wanted to do got done. Not bad, but guess what I am focused on?
