This Christmas, buy your kid a laser


When Toys "R" Us went out of business, everyone was sad for Geoffrey. When the first one opened back up recently, folks were happy for Geoffrey. Nobody however, gave a crap about the TRU Robot. Here in this 1986 he shows dear old Dad who was about to steal his kids allowance to buy meth some way cool Laser Tag guns by Worlds of Wonder! Wonder whatever happened to that robot? Oh well, hey parents, shop at Toys "R" Us for your Christmas presents! It costs 50% more than Walmart!

Merry Christmas, you look like crap


One thing I've always noticed about Christmas is the abundance of hygiene products given as gifts. I mean, sure, it's a good idea. Just like the packs of underwear and socks your Grandma will give you (and kinda creepy), it's something you'll use and need. Or some cologne/perfume from your spouse, because they'd prefer you to smell good and a good occasion for a bottle of Juicy. Not to mention, it can be pricey, so it's a solid gift idea... from a loved one. In the office secret Santa... not so much. All rational thought aside, it's a little insulting isn't it? A stroll down the Christmas areas of your local stores reveals a myriad of gift sets of various lotions, deodorants, razors, you name it. Thanks Aunt Edna... guess I stink.
