    I must say that the sheer lack of awesome toys these days brings me a great deal of sadness. Now we're so worried about our larvae cutting their precious little cookie grapplers on sharp corners and denying Darwin his comeuppance when one of them decides to gnaw small parts out of toys and swallow them.


    We need more diecast toys. Maybe ninjas should come with actual metal swords, and have life-sized ninja stars in the packaging. It would be a brave new world, like a modern day Agoge, and only the strong will survive, and collect these ferocious trinkets of childhood, and return, as our kings and queens.

    @Jrsy Devil's Food Cake: Right now, Lucas is probably selling pieces of his soul in mason jars on ebay/craigslist. I'm also certain that he's selling his blood, claiming that there's midi-chlorians in it.

    Am I the only one who thought play-doh smelled delicious? And then they started making the little mcdonalds sets where you can make your own burgers and fries out of play doh.. Man, that stuff tasted salty though. I wonder if high play-doh consumption leads to people becoming shut-ins and posting all day on crap sites like [www.f2bb.com]

    I agree with most of the other parents, I think its a good thing. When the kids wake at 2 a.m., they are tired and whiney by 6 am, when it really IS time to get up. The manufacturers could pretty it up a little maybe; make a happy sunshine face or something. :)

    I agree with those who laud this.


    Obviously you have no kids.... ESPECIALLY TODDLERS/PRESCHOOLers. They are hell bent on waking you up on THEIR schedule.


    I am the proud papa of 2 girls 3 and 1(see avatar) and somehow Daddy is always the target of the weekend early rise.

    "The Alarm Clock for Neglectful Parents"

    says the guy whose never had kids.


    I had a friend that did this with an x10 setup. Essentially, when the night light shuts off, you may get up.


    It worked.

    Hexbugs are cool!

    I gave Hexbugs to everyone this past Christmas.


    The original is still my favorite, with the Inchworm coming in a close second.


    Great silly fun!

    @Anonymoose: I am getting so many people on Giz lately saying that I am actually a man, its starting to worry me. I am not sure if I have lost my femininity or if they just have never actually talked to a woman before.

    @Curves:


    no no no, i had to explain this to my buddies girlfriend yesterday, who's recently gotten into CoD4.


    you see, the things men are interested in are inherently cooler than the things that women are interested in. so when you have a woman interested in those aforementioned, cooler things, she isn't being more masculine, or less feminine, she's just being cooler.
