Mirth alert!
The Gazette ran an article today about religious-based toys. There is an accompanying photo of an action figure that has black spots all over its arms and legs.
The caption reads: "An action figure of Job comes complete with boils."
I read that an hour ago and I'm still smiling.

Aren't toys for playing with? How do you play with a figure covered in boils? Clearly, I'm missing the point....

I googled religious toys - so many websites to choose from! What sort of toys would athiests have?
Atheists would have the fun toys.
May I be the first to ask: what the frig is a rock tumbler?
Puzzled 8-year-old? I can think of a puzzled 45-year old who would've made the same face.
And I can think of a slightly older than 45 year old who is puzzled as well. Please explain!
Sounds like fun. I can't imagine any child not being delighted to receive such a gift.
Well, its different......and er, creative!!!!
I've always wanted one of those
Wait - you grew up not 10 miles from me, read the same EATON'S and SEARS catalogues at Xmas and you don't know what a rock tumbler is? I got one for Xmas when I was young and I didn't even live in the big city like you did! Ask your sister if she knows what one is.
For your upcoming b-day, maybe I will pull mine out of storage and give you a shiny. polished rock. You will treasure it for all eternity.
Then I can say "I got a rock". I've always wanted to have a reason to say that.
P.S. I swear I don't know what a rock tumbler is. We didn't get the Eaton's or Sears catalogues. So I guess Consumers Distributing didn't sell rock tumblers?
It is entirely likely they did, actually.
I don't know where mine was purchased, but my parents often went to the CD that was near the Canadian Tire in your home town.
I scratched out many an order with dull, unsharpened pencils at that CD.
let me understand: you went thru children WITHOUT the "christmas wish book"???! you'd better get yourself one next year: an easy bake oven (not to mention rock a tumbler)awaits!
You have no idea how much I wanted an easy bake oven. My cousins had one, but we didn't. This may in fact be the reason I've never learned to cook and/or bake properly. Childhood scars. sniff, sniff.
We've really gotten off the subject of Job's boils, haven't we?
hhhhmmmm, job's boils or easy bake ovens....which one would you rather talk about?
I really think you should get yourself an easy bake oven- your suppers will never be the same what with all those little tiny cakes being cooked with that single light bulb
handy+ dandy
