and I promise that I won’t let her post on the blog again unless it’s absolutely unavoidable.  Good grief, the only thing that was missing in my first posts here was some Robert Smith in the background and a razor. 

I AM NOT ENCOURAGING OR CONDONING THAT BEHAVIOR, CALM DOWN. 

I do encourage The Cure, I’m just mildly annoyed and yet mesmerized by the culture that seems to have grown in the last 15 years sort of around a band that’s more than 30 years old.  That being said, I can move on.

Now, can anyone tell me where I can find some, oh it pains me to say this, vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise?  The 3yo watched the vhs copies of the movies and was elated at the Walmart commercials featuring toys that we will not be able to find unless by some miracle they are in a box in the barn.  Let’s add to the poor kid’s frustration when he goes into Hot Topic and the TMNT are only available on girl things.  He’s all for equal opportunity but he’s pretty sure that’s not fair and I’m pretty sure I want my childhood left untainted.
