And While We're on the Subject of Elmo...

I found this article in the newspaper, and it's so hilarious I had to share. Thanks Tom Maurstad (the writer).

Elmo Like You've Never Seen Him

With all the electronic gadgets out there, and the ever expanding digital playground of the Web, a fuzzy doll that giggles when you squeeze it doesn't pack the punch it used to. Over the last 10 years, Tickle Me Elmo has tried to keep up with the times..he's done the chicken dance, boogied to Rock N Roll..but for his 10th anniversary, he's gone extreme. TMX Elmo doesn't just giggle, but rolls around, slaps his knee and pounds the floor. Consider these other Elmo incarnations that might be waiting in the wings...

Throttle Me Elmo

The ultimate interactive toy, Elmo shouts at you, unplugs your PlayStation, deletes your e-mail and hacks your My Space page until you pummel him into submission.

D.I.Y. Elmo

Elmo is a punk rocker. Activate him by sticking a safety pin through his tongue. Put him in the middle of a bunch of Beanie Babies and watch him slam dance. As a finale, he gives himself a tattoo.

Triple X Elmo

Turn him on by playing the cheesy electronic music soundtrack included. He asks for a drink, and while you're getting it, grabs Miss Piggy and runs off to Vegas.

Elmo Shmelmo

I hate Elmo. With his annoying little voice, and his scary red fuzzy body..makes me want to scream! I just love it when the batteries quit on one of my baby Grands many Elmo toys.

I have a confession to make though. As much as I HATE Elmo, I jumped on the bandwagon for the newest TMX Elmo! The day I heard about them was the same day they were released in stores, and they sold out in a matter of hours! Since I couldn't grab any from the store, I shamefully went on Ebay and found one for about 13.00 more than they were at the stores. Why did I do this? Not for Michael like you would think. It was the dollar signs in my eyes that hooked me in. Because they are sold out, the price is skyrocketing on Ebay every day. I'll save mine for a few weeks and then list it and hope they are going for a few hundred by then:) Oh if only I could find about 20 more...

Crazy, isn't it?

29 years ago today (shhhh, actually it was 41, but don't tell anybody!), I came into this World kicking and screaming and fighting to stay in. I was hard headed then and I STILL am!!

My Mom said "She's Beautiful!"

My Dad said "It's a d*** girl! Doesn't look like a John Gregory to me!!
