I find

that the amount of times I refer to 'the tiger' at work is ever increasing.
I take orders with the tiger. The tiger holds my pen. I tell people that I wish I was the tiger. Not simply 'a' tiger, but 'the' tiger. The little plastic tiger on the counter at work.

There he is. Fear him, and give him your two dollars for a large cup of coffee.
He is a great subject of conversation, as he is always there, but never listening. He is made of plastic, so it is incredibly hard for him to do so.
He never gets offended, but he always takes people's money. He always holds the pen for me.

The tiger is my friend.

Yo. Yo.

This is bullshit.
Neither Target nor Toys R Us have the type of Yo-Yo I was looking for. I just want a ball-bearing Yo-Yo without flashy lights, is that really so much to ask?

Toys used to be so simple and entertaining. Now its about movement, expensive replacement parts, flashy lights, and what can kick you in the face harder.



Like this life size storm trooper toy. Look at its small, expensive parts and face kicking action.
