Hi Matt, regular reader for several years here. I’ve noticed the lack of defective yeti updates lately, which is unusual for you, and was just hoping everything was going ok in your life.

I almost didn’t listen to it — bad singing, how funny can that be, really?

I laughed until I cried, too.

And that breath capture vial sure is something. At first I thought the point was to send it to a loved one far away, a soldier at war or something, so they could open it up and smell it.

This sounds like the perfect survival kit for a weekend in Penticton.

You crack me up. I just ran across your blog for the first time today and was crying from laughing so hard. My husband thinks I am insane as I am sitting here with the laptop just cracking UP!

Have a good one!

Oh, now why I am just seeing this *after* christmas?

My seven year old told me this morning he wants the rocketrod for his birthday next week.

The Barbie dog reminded me of another Mattel poop product from my own childhood, Baby Alive. You fed her some kind of synthetic mash and she passed it out the other end. When the synthetic stuff ran out, I just fed her regular food. I guess I should have chased the stuff with some water, because she wound up with maggots.

So far, I have kept my actual live babies maggot-free.

I just saw a commercial on tv for the rocket fishingrod, had to laugh out loud.

Never mind, I take it back – it is real.

I’m pretty sure the United Nuclear thing is a spoof, actually…

Joey, you are correct. But it still weirds me out. It shouldn’t really, though, when you consider all the “average Joe” dogs who have them, so their owners feel better about them… guess that right there should totally explain why the owners would need them too!
