Unhappy Who is running this world?
I heard on TV yesterday that "Kids are DEMANDING electronic toys for Christmas."

This should be bad for the electronics industry since parents shouldn't cave in to DEMANDS from kids and the sales of electronic toys should drop off abruptly/

If your kids demand electronic toys, then give them the business end of a taser. That will give them loads of electronic fun!

Frontsight.

The rest of us are just waiting for Reaper's dot to move.

Ms. FS (Femaul Superior?), is out of the office for a couple days.
No dots are going to move unless someone can hack her system.

Electronics when I was little meant the toy had flashing lights.

I want to run the world. Then I would have a harem, a GPMG, a...oh wrong thread.

Seriously, whatever happened to the wooden rifle and the Tonka trucks? I loved my Tonka truck, lasted for years until it got a comprehensive crash test with a plastic car and a knife.
