I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger’s shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger’s scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said “that’s the worst security ever!”. But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital. The best thing about this product is that it teaches kids about the realities of living in a high-surveillence society. My son said he wants the Playmobil Neighborhood Surveillence System set for Christmas. I’ve heard that the CC TV cameras on that thing are pretty worthless in terms of quality and motion detection, so I think I’ll get him the Playmobil Abu-Gharib Interogation Set instead (it comes with a cute little memo from George Bush)

The daddle is a unique and interesting device. My kids loved it, we shot some videos and it took some stress off my back. That is... until the fateful day my wife bought the boy some spurs. I should have known something wasn't right when I first heard that "jingle jangle jingle" as he came striding merrily along. But I wasn't fast enough; when he hopped on my back and kicked me in the sides, I about came unglued. It wouldn't have been so bad if the spurs weren't the "long-star" pointy type. Fortunately we have a 10 ft. ceiling in the living room, because the rotten kid's head came within four inches of it the first kick. He didn't have time for a second when unthinking, I stood straight up, forgetting the "child" attached to my back. To his credit he managed to hang on. That was when I regretted allowing the children to put a belt around my neck to simulate a bridle. I nearly popped eye sockets when his fists clenched that belt and his full weight was applied to my trachea. That did have the effect of dropping me back down to the floor pretty quickly. This would have been the end of it, except for the fact that this offspring from Hades (apparently enjoying the experience) decided to spur me again, somewhat harder this time. It's a good thing I was wearing trousers or I'd have left little horsie patties all over the living room. Have you ever tried to remove a child from your back when he's attached by saddle and stirrups? Suffice to say I now understand and fully sympathize with how a bucking bronco feels. Being somewhat more intelligent than a horse (although in retrospect I am thinking not that much smarter), I laid down and rolled, careful to try not to crush the boy. That did not prevent him from digging in the spurs a third time, which caused me to sit straight up and threw him over my head, where fortunately my easy chair cushioned his fall. No, we haven't stopped using the Daddle. But I do conduct a thorough inspection of feet prior to any and all rides. The belt is now attached to the Daddle directly rather than going around my neck, and my wife has been kindly and politely asked to never, ever again buy an [expletives omitted] set of spurs or in fact anything, ever again, for our kids, without my direct knowledge. On the positive side, after watching that display my daughter no longer wants a real life pony.

Tesseraction posted:Marie Antoinette was supposed to be ignorant of the plight of the poor, and suggested starving people should eat cake (except she never said that). Corbyn is eating cake, this means he doesn't care about the plight of the poor. FOX news always seemed like a half-assed take on British tabloids. it's honestly surprising more british people don't have terrible opinions given the saturation level of awful newspapers.

everyone knows that the guardian is the socially liberal left intelligensia booklearnin' cityfolk paper, the telegraph is the conservative party journal, the sun is a murdoch mouthpiece that tries to play kingmaker, the daily mail is the raving right wing racist grandfather paper, and the times is just totally identity-less with pretentions of being above it all and the independent is the mouthpiece of sandal-wearing lib dem voters
