The Treasure Chest of Terrible Toys: iPotty

ipotty

Great Shades of Satan! (Ah ha!) This falls under the category of educational toys. At least I think it does. This is for either potty training or training to waste time on the potty. Maybe both. Remember yesterday’s imponderable about the guy who broke into a home and twice defecated on the floor? I wonder if he used this.

I have to admit that when I first saw this, I misread the author’s name as “Simon Crap.” It is an easy mistake to make.

Before you ask (not that I can hear you), the iPad is not included and no, there are no apps to help the kid learn to use the potty. I guess the secret is that the kid will sit there and forget his anxiety about popping by playing Angry Birds or watching funny kitten videos on YouTube. Personally, I wouldn’t mind if the kids surfed over to Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride. Sure, it would be a different demographic but I could really use the clicks. If it took off, I could totally see myself pandering to the pre-K group- lots of articles about Nick Toons, even more poopy jokes, etc.

As far as I can see, all do is A-teach kids to spend more time on the toilet and B- create an iPad that I would not touch without rubber gloves and disinfectant. Little kids are not exactly neat and do not wash their hands. Plus they play with the most disgusting things.

Truth to tell, this isn’t any different than putting the kid on the throne and giving him a book or a magazine to pass the time. That always works for me.

Imponderable #80: North Fort Myers Florida

This is kind of a long one so let me give you the bullet points first:

  • Gregory Mathew Bruni climbed onto Tony Lands’ roof (Oh yeah, he was already naked.)
  • Leapt off the roof, onto Tony, and hurt Tony’s shoulder
  • Ran into the house. knocked over a tv, spilled the dirt out of a vacuum
  • Dodged gunshots from Tony’s wife LaDonna
  • Ran into the living room and masturbated
  • Cleaned himself with clothes he found in the son’s room
  • Took not one but two dumps on the floor
  • Drank the dirt from the vacuum

Howzabout that for a good day’s work? I never accomplish that much at my job, and I rarely have to dodge bullets at the office.

It might make things a little clearer if I tell you that Gregory Matthew Bruni was a carnival worker. Yes, a carny. I don’t know if he guessed people’s weight or just cleaned up after the animals and took down the tents, but man, how many stories this good do you know that also feature a naked carny? Not many, I’ll bet. Maybe he bit the heads off chickens.

According to the police, they are going to do some tests to determine “what Bruni was on.” Personally, I think the cops might be jumping the gun. I’m not so sure he was on anything at all. This might just be normal carny behavior. Have you ever been to a state fair in Alabama? ‘Nuff said. I’m not saying these guys are not the sharpest tools in the shed, I’m saying they cannot spell shed.

At this point, I might- just might!- be going a little hard on the carnies. I’d be happy to apologize to them, but I am sure none of them are  capable of reading this blog.

Among the charges against Bruni is criminal mischief, which really seems to cover a huge array of behavior.

More to the point, I have a few options for the Imponderable, including one or two related to the masturbation which I am going to skip for the sake of not disgusting myself. As far as the dumps he took, in that kind of extreme situation, is it so hard to believe that he crapped his pants, so to speak, bearing in mind he was not wearing said proverbial pants?

How did LaDonna Land manage to miss the naked man defecating and playing with himself in her own living room?
The question is Imponderable.

And while I am railing against carnies, I’d also like to mention that I have never found circus clowns funny. Not at all.
