Don't Sit

 Oh boy! Another group of pictures from just wandering around. Hope these can cheer you up if you need some cheering up.

Okay so this first picture isn't very cheer-y, but surely, one day, we will all look back on this horrible year and all of the restrictions we went through in an attempt to be "safe." And I guess it's cool to document some of these things, like this crazy McDonald's interior nobody can, or should, sit in. Right now. In 2020. That was crazy, right?



This is more funny and cheerful, I guess; they actually made a My Little Pony figure you... KISS. I have to imagine that if this came out like 7 or 8 years ago, when the whole "Brony" male-My Little Pony-fandom movement was at it's peak, this would have caused quite an outrage. But right now, nobody noticed or cared. Maybe it's a modern message that your kid can kiss whoever they want, even a pony. Don't judge. (And if you NEED to ask; no. My friend DID NOT get one of these! Hahaha)


Kit-Kat with a Limited Edition Apple Pie flavor. It was funny to see somebody couldn't wait and ripped into this to get one. We did not try it, but later thought: well, we did take the picture, we should have got one at least.


Red Light. Looked over and saw... Jammer Doors. Sorry if your name is Jammer and you want to have a door company. Who would want their doors to jam? It says Since 1920, so I guess they are doing okay for jamming doors for a hundred years.


Captain America is pretty wholesome all by himself but there is just something extra-extra wholesome seeing a Duplo version of Captain America.


If you've seen the Rouge One Star Wars movie, you'll also get a smile when you see the figure of K-2SO. Awwww! They gave him a gun! That sounds silly without the context, but seriously it was a really sweet part of the movie.


Wow this is an old picture. I took this back in July. We saw this Lego Mario set out before it's offical release date, and thought it was funny that the price scanner said "Project Leaf" which was the code-name the Lego development team used during it's creation to avoid spoilers. How did Target know about the code name?


Treasure X with odd pirate bottles to smash. Do you think anybody is going to make the connection that pirate bottles are traditionally filled with alcoholic beverages? Yo-Ho-Ho and a bottle of.... water? yeah kids... those are water bottles. Actually, maybe nothing about pirates should be marketed towards kids... If you think about it...


Feel free to collect all of the 2020 Olympic collectibles you want. I heard that even though they are delayed until next summer in 2021, they will still be called the "2020 Olympics". So nobody has to worry about any of these packages being un-usable.


That's great that they have a Cowboy Transformer, you think WildWheel is a take on the name Wild Bill? Maybe he could have transformed into a horse carriage, or at best a train.


You know there is somebody out there with one black cat and one white cat who got this picture on their couch somewhere.


What an awesome idea to hang a tiny Antman on your Xmas tree!


When we first saw this we thought it was a ridiculously huge ornament, but it's instead a full-blown Tree Topper! How much of a Star Trek fan must you be to put this on the top of your whole Xmas Tree?! And yes, I kind of want one.


And I will love him and squeeze him and call him "George"! My friend's family quoted that cartoon a bunch, so it was awesome seeing the Xmas ornament fot it.


Another busted "exclusive" as we see this not in a Hot Topic, but in a Walmart. Slackers!


It's a little wierd to see character figures for Dungeons & Dragons, since part of the game is that you create your own characters; who are not these guys. But that Beholder is certainly cool enough all on it's own.


Operate on The Child? YIKES! Is this what happens if The Madalorian had just handed him over to The Client and not gone back to rescue him? Relax, the back cover shows you are just taking toys away from Baby Yoda... carefully.


Busted! Haha the price scanner at Target says this is an X-Wing T-Shirt when clearly it's a Tie Fighter. Did they do this on purpose to "mess with" the fans?


Five thousand miles on the exercise bike! Though the weather may be chilly outside, we can still get in some virtual riding. I've had this exercise bike for a while now and I'm starting to get nervous thinking if the batteries run out, will this reset to zero?


Forgot to post this before Halloween but it's still funny. It's clever that they made a skeleton out of a Wendy's Frosty cup, but you think the Frosty inside would all squoosh out of the gaps? It would be a total mess!


We all know Bowser Jr from the Mario games but I thought it was fun to see his alternate-language name on this package as "Bowsy". I think I'm going to start using that.


We ventured out to the Stewarts for lunch one weekend and were happy to see it was still open. With all of the struggles the restaurant industry went through over this pandemic, it makes you wonder if any of your favorites were forced to close forever. And makes you appreciate the ones that hung in there.


What do y'know, they actually made a figure of Gale from Frozen 2. Gale was the Wind Spirit and was kind of invisible as just "wind" but here you can see a swirly pile of leaves. Gotta admit that's clever.
