I was looking at boys' clothes and ran across a couple of gems:
Speaking of little boys, my son brought home a coloring book from school the other day. One of the pages inside is this:
I love Amazon.com, not just for their low prices and wide selection, but because they carry the weirdest range of shit imaginable. It's like going to the thrift store but without the pee smell. I was looking at boys' clothes and ran across a couple of gems: By the way, there are longer versions of the SNL Shake Weight skit that you can find online. I just included a brief clip as a quick reminder of what the "Shake Weight" is. Or was. I don't know if it's still an item that's for sale. (OK, I had to Google it. You can buy it on Amazon for about eleven bucks). For $19 (discounted from $44) these pants can be yours: Speaking of little boys, my son brought home a coloring book from school the other day. One of the pages inside is this: All kids know there's nothing funner than coloring in your local coroner! At least the guy in the drawing is appropriately sad. Not like the talking key with the big smile on his face. What an asshole. This next incident happened last weekend. The little boy in the photo is my son: (By the way, the person who answered all these text messages is my friend Alanna, from the blog "White Girls Be Like". She deserves a co-writing credit.) The bra incident was kind of embarrassing; nearly as embarrassing as this: I apologize in advance that if in the future when you hear the phrase "jazz hands" you automatically think "jizz hands". I know I will. At least we'll all suffer together.

Darth Vader absolutely looks like he's holding a shake weight in one hand. And he *is* listing a little to the right, which is suspicious...

So far everyone who's seen the Darth photo agrees that it looks like a Shake Weight. I feel so vindicated.

Pee smell! I guess I never clicked to that. Our local Wal-Mart has sort of a disinfectant smell, most likely covering up the pee smell.

Maybe pee smell isn't the best description (well, some of the time it is) but there's definitely a specific smell that I've noticed inside of thrift stores and Goodwill. It's probably a combination of unwashed clothes (hence the pee smell mixed with sweat stains) and old furniture and God only knows what else. But you can find good bargains so it's part of the deal.

All I can think of is the picture of the coroner. And "The name of my coroner is..." You're gonna die, kids! Be prepared by knowing the guy who'll be scraping your remains off the pavement! This man spends all his time with corpses! Maybe you could cheer him up by getting to know him.

I love the game you mention. It makes me want to laugh a diabotical laugh while rubbing my hands together with glee.

I am such a child of the 80s. Until you mentioned the shake weight, I totally thought Vader was holding a LEGO version of the Motorola DynaTAC brick phone my dad used to have when I was growing up.

Hahaha! I had to Google the phone you mention and I have to agree that there's a definite similarity. Darth is getting so pissed off right now. "It's a light saber. LIGHT SABER!".

Thanks-- I think he's pretty adorable too. But he contains half my genetic material so that was pretty much a given (ha).
