Don’t Fear The Reaper…

Today’s post title comes from the Blue Oyster Cult hit of the same name. Sadly, this song has lost a tiny bit of its power because of the SNL skit. It’s a great skit, but I hear that damn cowbell every single time now.

Skippy Is Five

Today was Skippy’s fifth birthday party. It was a good time for everyone. He got some great toys and he loves to play with other kids. I will say they just don’t make toys like they used to. The General Grievous gun stopped working.

Six. Hours. After. Opening. Wow.

So, not only does it not work, but the paint on it is probably poisonous. Toy makers should just package live scorpions with the toys. It’d be a quicker death than the eventful lead poisoning they’ll get someday.

    I know after reading this post, two things will happen:

    1. I’ll have DON’T FEAR THE REAPER stuck in my head all day
    2. Along with “that damn cowbell”!

    @Becca It’s a joke. You notice lately that every toy these days coming from China has lead paint on it? Massive recalls, et cetera.

    O M G ! ! ! This is another great one to listen to!!! It’s funny when the thing says the curse words. Oh, and the part where you separated each word with a period, what a blast! I’m gonna go listen to it again, what took you so long to add this on? It’s awesome!!!
