(It will probably be induced by lead withdrawal).<BR/><BR/>The Man-<BR/>You provide a compelling argument, but of course the devil can quote scripture to suit his purposes. <BR/><BR/>This appears to be a similar case.<BR/><BR/>Beth-<BR/>I know - every child plays with Thomas at some point. <BR/>Although I have long suspected that there is an 'evil genius room' where such personas gather to congregate and plot wrack and ruin, I was disappointed to learn that they target young children. <BR/><BR/>Boo hiss.<BR/><BR/>nadolny-<BR/>Get rid of them quick! In my estimation, Andy has already experienced double exposure - from Scoot AND Zane. <BR/><BR/>It's like radiation, right? There's a danger zone around anyone who has handled lead-based James?<BR/><BR/>garbo-<BR/>Pootie tooties?

Adult friends would attempt to sit in an apparently empty seat in our car, and my child would shout "You're sitting on the Pootie Tooties!" All I ever knew about the Pootie Tooties was that there was a boy one and a girl one, and that they didn't care to be sat on. Debra and I knew to check for Pootie Tooties before we sat down but we often forgot to warn guests.Garbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12885326761328977632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25245139.post-42968850535229761692007-06-18T23:01:00.000-05:002007-06-18T23:01:00.000-05:00Hmmm, I have three I need to get rid of.Hmmm, I have three I need to get rid of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25245139.post-85028723097723910902007-06-18T14:22:00.000-05:002007-06-18T14:22:00.000-05:00Maybe all MY problems stem from lead in my toys as...Maybe all MY problems stem from lead in my toys as a child! :D<BR/><BR/>But seriously, WTF? I grew up in the 70s, so lead was practically a pre-req for toys. But Thomas toys?

I am technically the Man (white married male raised as a Christian {it didn't take so well} between the ages of 25 and 55) and I find fault with your logic. The Man would never taint Thomas the Tank Engine merchandise because of 2 reasons.<BR/><BR/>Reason 1: this would interfere with the capitalist market economy. If people can buy cigarettes they should be able to buy lead painted toys.<BR/><BR/>Reason 2: Too many affluent white kids play with these particular toys.SRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05180527214433859329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25245139.post-57710929377165371942007-06-17T04:35:00.000-05:002007-06-17T04:35:00.000-05:00You mean that he hasn't noticed 'yet'.You mean that he hasn't noticed 'yet'.jotcr2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01366448629677893285noreply@blogger.com
