Toys

Hah! Saw this on Digg today. Apparently the company Lasonic is bringing to market a totally retro boombox. I gotta get me one of these to go with my parachute pants, THINK LIFE t-shirt and Japanese flag headband. Awesome.

At work. It's sick. Now I can do things like this:

Happy birthday/father's day to me. I was presented last night with a fantastic gift: an XBOX 360! Go Scoomey, it's your birthday...

Anyhow, there's a funny story behind how I ended up having it given to me last night. I picked up Tina and the kids from the mall on my way home from work. Tina puts a bunch of stuff in the back to the Durango. The kids pile in. Liam immediately informs me that "there's no XBOX 360's in here."

Apparently Tina tried to coach Liam on not telling me and ruining the surprise. A lesson most definitely not learned by the little guy because he was more excited than anyone. So as we're driving Phoenix and Zoe are doing their best to keep him from telling me outright and did a good job at it. Until we got home that is.

The second he got me alone in my office, he looked around the room to make sure nobody was around, leaned in really close and said "We got you an XBOX 360". I was like "Oh no, you shouldn't have told me, it ruined the surprise!"

Liam's quick witted response was to throw his hands up and say "Surprise! We got you an XBOX 360!"

I got Liam the Darth Vader voice changer today. How funny is this? I'll have video up soon.
