Dangerous toys from our youth

Continuing on the theme of the last couple of posts, let’s reflect back on toys we had as kids which parents wouldn’t DREAM of letting near their fragile Gen-BW kids these days. I ran across a blog (The Poop) which had a great article on this: http://blog.sfgate.com/parenting/2007/08/17/recalling-toys-from-my-youth/ For those of you too lazy to click [...]

Generation “Bubble Wrap” – Gen BW
January 27, 2012

We had the “baby boomers”, then “Generation X”, then “Generation Y”… I think today’s crop of kiddies should be called “Generation Bubble Wrap” (or “Generation BW”).

It was Mahatma Gandhi who, during a speech in South Africa, in 1890 said: "A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependant on us, we are dependant on him. He is not an interruption of our work, he is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider of [...]

On Dec 13, 2011, Bungee jumper Erin Langworthy’s rope snapped, letting her fall into the Zambezi river at Victoria Falls, Africa. Here’s a link to the story: http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Africa/Africa-Monitor/2012/0109/Oh-snap%21-Bungee-jumper-plunges-into-Zambezi-River-at-Victoria-Falls I particularly love the quote on page two where one jumper in a party chickened out: The one who didn’t jump had asked the bungee operator what would [...]

A friend of mine sent me this link: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/a-python-tried-to-kill-my-son-mother-20120101-1pgxg.html – Thanks Mike As I’m the local reptile expert, he asked me if I believed the story (we all know that the media would never lie or get anything wrong, right?). I said yes, and made some other pithy comments on various excerpts from the story. [...]

I ran across this today in another blog – cracked me up and scared me at the same time! This was written by a guy who worked at Wal-Mart for a while: For example, I worked for three weeks in the Purcell Supercenter’s Tire and Lube Express. I changed hundreds of people’s oils. The top-side [...]
