Top 5 Weirdest Children's Toys

#5: Baby Laugh-a-Lot

The premise of this 1970 Remco doll is pretty simple: a doll who laughs when you rock her back and forth. What makes it creepy is that borderline demonic smile, and how they did the commercial.
I think the doll is either channeling the underworld or the illegitimate child of Chucky and the clown from It. Either way, I'm running away if I ever see it.

#4: Pregnant Barbie

Again, the concept of this toy is pretty understandable- Barbie's done just about everything, so why not pregnancy? Although, Ken doesn't have any...parts to make that happen. I'm lookin' at you, GI Joe action figure...

#3: Who Cares About Disabled People?

To clarify, this book was intended to teach the lesson that we should care about people who have problems, it's just badly worded. And apparently "disabled" includes:

#2: You Can Shave the Baby

We all know Japan makes some crazy stuff.
I've seen katamari. *
I've seen seriously creepy commercials. **
I...honestly have no explanation for this. Not even a joke. Can we...can we just move on to the next one?

#1: Big Loo the 4-foot-tall Robot

Things it does:
-Speaks (barely) by someone turning a crank on the back of its head
-Its eyes stare into your soul
-Right arm moves
-It shoots darts OUT OF ITS FRACKING NIPPLES.

So all in all, I think Big Loo deserves the title of #1 weirdest children's toy. If you'll excuse me, I need to go scrub the horror out of my eyes.


*I actually love Katamari
**I am aware that this is cool and awesome. I just find it really creepy.

Sssspppaaammm

If you like forum-based RPs and want to hear about the one I made, keep reading. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just back away slowly.

I've had the idea in my head for a while- just a simple RP, the characters you use are OCs- no celebrities or copyrighted ones.

I'm not going to blather on any more, just click here, and revel in the geekery.

I always do this

I have a blog, update it for a while, then lose interest and forget about it. I'll try not to do that with this one, ok?

So guys, it's nearly summer. That is, it's nearly summer to you. I remember visiting my dad down in Georgia this past February, and we were already in shorts. But I digress.

A lot of complaints have been going around about how, as the weather gets warmer, the clothing gets...less there. Clothes that could pass as underwear. Clothes that probably are underwear.

But to be honest, I'm a little jealous of girls with such great bodies to show off. I wouldn't call myself obese or anything, but I think I could stand to lose some weight before we go into bikini season. I'm not that familiar with being...attractive.

Heh, if you're in the market for a bespectacled smartass with a flat chest and body image issues, I'm your girl.

Ok, whine-fest over, back to the funny.

I went to AnimeNorth last Saturday! Many things bought, not much money left. I went in cosplay, and a lot of people actually asked to take pictures of me! I think it was around 10 or so- which isn't a lot for really good cosplays, but it's around 10 or so more than I was expecting.

Oh, I also got a Tumblr! I don't really know what to do with it.

So that's all I got for now. I promise I won't completely abandon this, I'm back on :D

Yay for weekends!

I love the weekends. If anyone starts quoting Rebecca Black's "Friday," I will stab you, and no jury will convict me. I am seriously tired of that song.

*Ahem.*

So, not really doing anything this weekend, mainly laying around and watching some movies.

Speaking of movies, is anyone seeing Insidious? I kinda want to, because being terrified to turn out the lights is always a good time :D

I'll need someone to cling to and crap my pants with, anyone wanna go with me? You can even pay.

Not much else to say...turned out I couldn't have my party the day I had planned on, so I'm still looking for a good time for everyone.

That's supposed to be a tumbleweed in the background. Please excuse my crappy mouse drawing.

Geekery and birthdays

There was a small anime convention today, which my sister and I went to. Wasn't that big or great, but I got some frackin' awesome stuff!

My favorites by far were the Konata and L plushies. I squee'd muchlies.

I also got a Suzumiya Haruhi keychain, pretty great :D

I also found a new soda called Ramune, and IT IS AMAZING. I also had a bag of cotton candy, so at the moment my blood is at least 80% caffeine.

I feel fine! I feel great! Everything is purple now!

*Ahem*

It just sucks that I couldn't go there in cosplay, the only thing stopping me is the small fact that I don't exactly have any of it yet.

I'm getting the wig and outfit for my birthday, and I can easily find some shoes and socks to go with it.

Speaking of birthdays, mine is soon! The 25th. Mark your calendars.

 

Gratitude in blog form

Just wanted to thank everyone for the amazing comments, messages, texts, and hugs. All of you rock :')

I've had a lot of problems, and they still get to me, but everyone has been amazing and I'm glad I was able to make some people think.

So as long as I'm anti-bullying posterchild for the day...

I don't want to sound emo, or like I'm not extremely lucky, but I know how bullying can affect people, through the rest of their lives. I know what it's like to cry at night and have issues with talking to people and making friends even years later, just because of some stupid rumors and how much they made you hate yourself and believe they were true.

Every time I talk to someone, even close friends and people I know are awesome, I feel like they'll hate me and think I'm stupid if I say the wrong thing or act the wrong way.

And the thing is, I know a lot of other people feel like that too, because of comments made that really hurt, whether the person knows they're doing it or not. I'm willing to bet everyone has at some point.

I'm not saying everyone is a horrible person, or the world sucks, or anything like that. I'm just saying that sometimes people don't think about how offhand comments rumors can hurt people as much as they do.

So next time you say something mean or start a rumor, just think about how much it would suck if that was said about you, and what it would feel like if you had to take that.

Do it for yourself, for the people you care about, and for everyone who bullying has hurt.

Calling all geeks!

Anime North is coming up in May, and I WILL go. Don't have plans with anyone yet, but I will flap my arms and fly there if I have to.

I'm too lazy to color this. It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a cosplayer!

Speaking of cosplaying, I'm probably going to go as Miyuki from Lucky Star. I found a cheap costume, and a wig for less than $10. w00t.

But if I get lazy, I can just put together a sweet loli outfit...

Notice how not cosplaying isn't even an option.
