Buffalo tastes

I spent all day programming. At the end of the day I just wanted a
hamburger. Buffalo meat will have to do.

Talking Carl

This app for the iPhone is so fun. It's 99 cents but the way it
works, we all get to use it on our phones on our family plan.
Anyways, he repeats after you in a funny voice and you can tickle
him. We justified the purchase by (e:Matthew) saying the kids would
like it.

Ah, the joys of searching for that tip-of-the-tongue word. Honestly, I don't think I have ever seen a viewmaster much less own one. I faintly remember something like it but it had just 24 pictures of Delhi and was handed out at one of those sucker bus tours of the city when I was 2 or 3 years old. You couldn't put anything new in. I think it got water damaged and smashed later so it BECAME a kaleidoscope...

(That was actually a cool little google challenge... I couldn't think of what they were called, and it took me several tries to get the right descriptive words... "picture disk toy" was a big fail, as was "fisher price 70s toys". "toy camera story pictures" didn't work either.

I vaguely remember a Donald Duck story with mine in the '70s, "story viewer toy" got me Toy Story (the movie) but the "shopping results" gave me a current version - it didn't look like mine but definitely the right concept and the right word... ViewMaster!

A kaleidoscope?
metalpeter - 01/06/10 18:43
He Isn't a toaster he is one of the those toys that you look through the eye things and you put that round disc in and see pictures he even has that front slot and his back is the eye piece.
tinypliny - 01/06/10 08:45
Is he a malformed toaster?

Remember the white tiger

Looks like someone else got it ;(

I need a little more background on this one.
Can you bring both the boy and the tiger to my place for examination?
tinypliny - 01/06/10 08:36
I think it was a regular tiger. You still have hope.

Flowers

(e:libertad) got these pretty flowers fir my mom. Each one is like the
size of a basketball.

Those flowers are pretty but I am so allergic to them. I could never have them in my house.
tinypliny - 01/06/10 23:05
Hmmm... I have never seen them in India. Must be some South-east Asian variety.
libertad - 01/06/10 22:40
They are Asian lilies. I got them from Bob at Mother Nature.
tinypliny - 01/06/10 21:24
What kind are they - Amaryllis?
libertad - 01/06/10 21:20
I love those flowers. I'm so glad that they were closed up when I gave them to her so they had something to look forward to. Best thing about them is they die and then she can throw them away!
