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....

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?

Armored Personnel Carrier?
Automatic Postage Calculator?
Automated postage center, I think.
IKEA UK Releases 100 Cats Inside Wembley Store
“Herding Cats” is an experiment by IKEA UK where they released 100 cats inside their Wembley store at night.
Just to see what happens....

So New Orleans is going MENTAL about this evening's game (Saints football for those who are unaware)- the city's closed, schools are letting out early, offices are closing early (including both mine and Tom's), the Post Office is closing early... there's a parade in the French Quarter before the game too.
HAH! So now you know. I'm starting to get a bit twitchy, myself. We have plans with our local people. I have grandaddy's lighter on me (which by the way if you talk to Kara or Krissie, tell them that. Superstition makes them feel better too.) We're going to be with the same bartenders we were with when we won the Super Bowl. I'm wearing my fleur-de-lis and my Saints...underthings.
Okay, guy in the elevator, you are WEIRD. Moratorium on strangers talking to me for the day.
I tried to self-medicate my misery away with art supplies, but was thwarted by the small selection at the local art store. Which, I suppose is good. I have come away with nothing other than a new Sharpie. It could have been so much worse.
