I was surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick!

his sister fights him over it, so now I need to buy her one.

Quote:
They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating). My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too!

I'm sure I read something somewhere about witch's brooms and phalli, I always wondered about their inclusion in the HP books.

That is fiercesomely funny. Rowling will probably be un-chuffed.

One can only marvel at the audacity of marketing executives selling The Kids... brooms. Coming next week; FUN-BRICK! CRAZEE-MOP! SUPA-SPOON!

Upon reflection, fun-brick has been selling well for fifty or so years under the brand name Lego. So I retract that one.

As do toy mops, vacuum cleaners, cookers, ironing boards, washing machines and many other houshold goods in minature Justin.

at first I was going to defend the thing - how many kids have ridden a hobby horse throughout the years? then I saw that it vibrates and its recommended for ages 8 and up

uhhh.....

I wasn't going to defend it until I saw that it vibrated. Now I'm all for it. I mean, why not?

A review of the toy:

"When my 12 year old daughter asked for this for her birthday, I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating)."

Review supplied, presumably, by Mr and Mrs Naive...

Or perhaps someone is, how you say, taking the urine?

Yeah, I thought of that, but I'll play along with it for now.

Not to be a pedant... if you can be pedantic about, er, flying on a broom, but it doesn't seem possible that the way to fly on a broom is with the broom between your legs. Seems to me that the way it would work is that you'd sit sideways on the broomstick with your legs together and one hand on either side of you.

I mean, doesn't it?

Persephone: It's not so much the between-the-legsness; ickle brooms for the junior witch in your life have been on sale for as long as I can recall. It's more the whole vibration issue-- 'tween legs, battery-powered...

You do the math.

Mind you, there's a limit as to how much fun you can have with three AA batteries. I know about these things.

It was a joke. I get the vibrator thing. Sheesh.

I'd like to know what gives those first bastards the right to take the batteries out.

13:41 / 04.09.02
Next thing you know, those kids are buying batteries on the street... from total strangers... and who knows where those batteries came from? They suren't aren't the copper top!

Parents, your kids are going to get batteries for their witch brooms one way or another. Wouldn't you rather they come from you?
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
13:49 / 04.09.02
Seems like they're missing a disciplinarian opportunity:

"Suzy, you're grounded! No batteries for a week! You'll just have to make do."

"But Mommy, Gloria Steinem said..."

"I don't care what Gloria Steinem said, penetration is perfectly natural!"

(Or, "You should've thought of that before you stole Daddy's ketamine!")

Please tell me someone has a link to that church's website that was fuming a couple years ago about kids having relations with a life-sized Jar Jar Binks doll which includes the deadpan use of the phrase "his innocent white heinie," as well as a followup about the Jar Jar rotating tongue lollipop.

Please, if you're gonna post really funny shit and I'm likely to read it first thing in the morning, put some kind of warning! Trying to laugh uproariously without waking anyone up is really painful!

That said, though... "fucking hell" about sums it up.

Sorry, Persephone. Wasn't trying to be arsey. I had arseyness thrust upon me.

(A bit like the Jar Jar rotating lolly.)
