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.
oooh, somebody's parents are going to be pissed. Those things are expensive.
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.

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?
