Toy Shopping Land Mines

Now back to your regularly scheduled dipshittery.

I have a young niece and nephew. Looking for birthday gifts.  Things I won't be getting them include but are not limited to:

Only one of these is fake. The last one appears to be a new offering, which seems... short-sighted but perhaps astute, from a revenues perspective and accounting for the sociological state of human beings.

Any ideas for a 9-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl? My Uncle of the Year award is being etched as we speak.

Inspiration from Random Places

During this downtime, we will all have to find things to occupy our interest . . .

Some will listen to podcasts. Some will listen to music. Some will make music. Maybe Dave and I will have a quarantine song-off.

Some of us will watch movies. Others will make movies. I can only hope.

Some will do push-ups. Others will build a homemade pull-up bar.

Some will really return to their childhood days. They will play card games and board games and hide-and-seek.

Even others will play with matchbox cars.

This is a photo from my living room:

The interior is white, not black, but short of that, this is my WCSAGD.

Get some, gheorghies.
