I should be on the bus going home right now, but I thought I would leave you with these:<\/p>\n
First, we have this guy<\/a>, who apparently spends his time in what I can only describe as incredibly strange ways. He takes plastic dolls and makes montrous mutations from them. It’s right out of a horror movie, and vaguely disturbing. Boing Boing called them Toddlerpedes, and that makes me even more freaked out somehow.<\/p>\n Then, on a lighter note, a freaking awesome, if strange, business. It’s the Unfortunate Animal of the Month Club<\/a>. Basically you suscribe to this club and they will make you a one-of-a-kind stuffed animal with way more than the usual number of limbs and heads. It will come wrapped:<\/p>\n “It may be packed in leaves, wrapped in an odd length of fabric, a placemat, yards and yards and yards of string, joss paper\u00ef\u00bf\u00bdyou just never know, and it won\u00ef\u00bf\u00bdt be the same twice.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I think this is brilliant and weird, and I want to get Lockrey a subscription for her birthday, but don’t tell her.<\/p>\n And finally on the toy frontier I have an (untested since I’m still at work and not on the bus) link to a movie<\/a> of the animatronic Tigger doll (we have two at home) in a rather explicit scene with a Tickle Me Elmo doll. I’m sure you can picture it, I sure can. The original article from Boing Boing<\/a> has a still shot.<\/p>\n Again, you should just read Boing Boing, since this blog is over 80% Boing anyway. Those guys rock.<\/p>\n * Update, I had the Toddlerpede link busted, it works better now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I should be on the bus going home right now, but I thought I would leave you with these: First, we have this guy, who apparently spends his time in what I can only describe as incredibly strange ways.
