Americans and their TOYS. There is a saying that men don't grow up
only their toys change...

We have our guns, our cars our military people with their war toys

the endless ways to have Fun and excitement at the same time, never mind the cost..

For the Bushies, their toy is US Americans and how they have Fun at OUR Expense.

Come, we need a drink

3. toys are great
The latest toys to arrive are 2 kayaks. I was out in the ocean
trying one out, when i flipped over... and being too excited to put
on the skirt, scuttled it and had to swim it back to shore.

In future, i must learn this technique of righting a kayak whilst
still in it... toys are great! :-)

I toast you with a drink of
2003 shiraz cabernet lindeman's south eastern australia.

cheers!

4. Toys suck
You eventually tire of them and have to get new toys to whet the appetite. They become like a cancer after awhile.

It's not only men who have an appetite for toys as shown here. Before women denied men sex to end war. Now some deny sex to men until they get new toys.

We need women like the ones who stopped the Polynesian War.

We do need a drink.

8. REAL toys are cool!!!
I have a nifty collection of vintage tin toys: helicopters, robots, airplanes, etc. I also have several mahogany-wood painted scale models of WWII airplanes suspended from the ceiling over my desk at home. I just took my ancient baseball mitt to the game last Saturday (didn't catch any fouls, however :().

But I don't need to tweak up my pleasure by consuming whatever the media is prodding me to consume.

11. I am a member of PLANETSIDE, a computer game which is
interactive. Members play with other members from around the World. This is a game for advanced Computers with voice communications required. Its a blast.

More important, it soon teaches that only by joining with other members forming squads, platoons, and outfits, can advancement in rank occur expeditiously. It teaches TEAMWORK and cooperation. Besides writing and research in seaweds, its the only toy I have and use.

12. That's because men are still in charge.
If women had equal power, the toys might change a little. Also, the men might find themselves doing their share of the shit work, which would distract them from the need to play so much.

Come, help me clean the bathroom after we fold the laundry. :-)

13. Toys? Are you talkin bout that big DUMMY Dick Cheney has?
The one that Cheney talks and plots for, but the dummy's lips move and smirk? OOOOOOh, that Dummy,...err...toy! That's, the Toy...err...DUMMY I thought you meant!

Shrub started fragging Frogs as a little squirt, and has grad-e-ated to GIs in Iraq! The soldiers are like the little vinyl troopers that you and I played in the sand-box with as children, to the cosmetically Gung-Ho Commander Shrub! Just pawns in the game of politics to the "great" Commander Shrub and his fearful side kick Tony the"paper"Tiger Blair!

Come, we go get a half gallon of 190!

17. It takes a strong solution to wash away the BUshit that pollutes...
America! Why spend money on a depressant like 190, when all you need to do is watch the Bush/Cable News propagandists on the TV set, to become depressed?

The facts are starting to catch up with the Shrub about the H-U-G-E disaster in Iraq! Only a total drunken fool, or a complete mongo LoLo, would vote for any more Bullshit like we got now in Washington!

18. Indeed the shameless Lobotomies of the Stepford Sheep carries on Daily
on the TV Networks. The Free Press is fast becoming a thing of the Past.

Tragic and intolerable but nevertheless...according to the Roves Plan..... on course.

Herr Himmler himself woulda been proud of this massive propaganda effort to subdue on such a massive scale. Rove and his buddies planned this for 20 some odd years and in a diabolical way...it has paid off.

As I see it, there are too many drunken fools and midnite Lobotomty Cases running around voting for the First Fool. Delusion is upon us and we reap the shit.
