There Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know

Because man is a sucker for his little girl. And remembers reading The Enormous Egg.

And because if Katie sees this, she will really, really fall in love with it.

This is such a bad idea.

Really.

If you think that's bad, meet Pleo (http://www.pleoworld.com/getpleo). Otoh, Pleo is programmable...

that is awesome

That's definitely cool, but I think better suited to an older kid. Like me. No, wait...

I saw that at Costco last week and thought of Katie.

[billroper]

How much is it at Costco?

[shsilver.livejournal.com]

I don't recall, but according to their website, more than at Amazon. We might (if I lose) go to Costco on Friday and I can check the price for you.

It must be the retailer in me that sees something like that and thinks ... size, quality, utility - yep, $200 would be fine.

I know we spent $150 on a huge stuffed dragon when Marty was young, and got many years of fun out of it. It's still here, but he's not so interested any more.

We still have the stuffed Dragon we bought when you closed Stars....
and years later, he still gets played with.

There has got to be someone in the fannish community that can make you a reasonable facsimile, much cheaper than what they're charging.

[billroper]

It's the moving and interacting that's the really cool part though and that's a bit harder to rig fannishly. Not impossible, of course.

I haven't seen that one, but I've seen the Golden Retriever. It's creepy, and it scared small children at the Walmart.

How old is Katie, 2 or so? dunkelpig exclaims that Our Boy at 2 would have been terrified of that thing! (When it starts talking and moving its head.)

[billroper]

Katie is two almost exactly, but you have to consider that she fell in love with the talking audio-animatronic gargoyle that I got daisy_knotwise for Halloween, so I'm thinking the triceratops wouldn't faze her.

The talking audio-animatronic gargoyle was wicked cool. And I loved that Katie showed it to me as soon as I walked in the door.

I like the D-rex better....

I dunno, a Dad's gotta do what a Dad's gotta do.

I suppose it could always turn into another verse.
("But, dear, where else can you get triceratops for $5.65 a pound?")

Dude, I'm in love with it. And yea, I remember The Enormous Egg. the dead pets are not near as much fun.
