TOYS

I FOUND OUT FRANKIE'S SECRET !
I KNOW WHAT IS COMING TO BLOGVILLE
NEENER NEENER NEENER  FRANKIE
A Circus is coming to Blogville!

All I, Sweet William The Scot, ever hear is "gentle with your toys"   "William stop destuffing your toys"   "William make that toy last"   "WILLIAM stop chewing on your toy". I ask you what's a guy to do just sit and look at his toys? Jeez louise ~ oh my gosh Lee is just a pain in my butt ~ Lee has no purpose other than to hassle me when I am playing with my toys. Lee is a vexation, annoyance, nuisance when I am playing with my toys. Why Lee expects me to take care of my toys!
Lee comes from a long line of toy worshipers.
Why look at this. This toy belonged to her fraternal grandfather circa 1921. It is a Jazzbo Jim Tin Windup.
And these dolls that her maternal great grandmother brought over from Germany circa 1860.
Or this vintage Brass Lion Bank circa 1920 which belonged to her fraternal grandfather.
Why Lee has a whole chest of these old toys.

I, Sweet William The Scot, believe destroy your toys as fast as you can.
At the Cincinnati Museum Center there are cabinets of old toys.  Lee loves looking at them and saying I have that one!
Now I know Monopoly is a game but they are going to take away one of the tokens that have been in our game for a long time. Not since Mars discontinued the red M&M - which blessedly later returned - has a piece of your childhood been so threatened. Fans get to vote on which of the classic pieces - the car, thimble, shoe, dog, wheelbarrow, battleship, top hat and iron - gets to stay. The token with the lowest vote total is sentenced to life in Monopoly jail, never to pass go or collect $200 again. I say save the Scottie Dog Token. You got to save ME! Vote here https://apps.facebook.com/saveyourtoken/ Vote to save ME!
My game has some of the old tokens that have been discontinued.   A purse, lantern, rocking horse and horse and rider are among pieces removed over time. In all 20 tokens have been cast since the game was introduced in 1935.

Thanks for being a friend
Traveling down the road and back again
Your heart is true and your a friend of mine

  1. Great toys Sweet William. We did not know that the tokens had already been replaced. Suppose time moves on. We have a special dedication to you tomorrow on our post. Have a magnificent Monday.
    Best wishes Molly

  2. The Scottie MUST stay otherwise it wouldn't be Monopoly. If the Scottie goes, Parker Bros can just go Park Place themselves.

  10. What is the point of toys than cannot be torn apart, that's what I want to know, Sweet William? Gail has this sold pair of Teddy bears, called Mr and Mrs Teddy (you can see she had a very conventional childhood....) which she will never ever let me so much a lick. Not fair is it?
    Toodle pip!

    PS As for the Monopoly pieces, they absolutely have to keep the Scottie!

  14. Oh my SW...we've never heard you speak of Lee like that! Be careful, just now you hurt her feelings - hoomans can be very sensitive you know.

    Lee's toy collection is amazing! Both Mom & Dad have kept a lot of their toys from when they were kids - they are very similar in that they both loved and looked after their toys so they are still in pretty good condition. They were hoping to pass them on to their kids one day...but that won't be happening, 'cos they can't have kids.

    Anyhowl, you be nice to Lee and play nice with your toys!

    Barks!
    Wally & Sammy

  32. Sweet William I have bad news, bad news I say! I bought my son the new electronic monopoly game and there is NO SCOTTIE DOG!!! I almost died. What the *&*^!!! I wanted to write letters and scream. What the hell was I going to be? I took the damn rollerblade and was not one bit happy about it! By the way, Lee's old toys are pretty cool and you sit like a very nice boy next to them.

  33. Wow, I totally agree about killing those stuffies as fast as possible! Only peeps seem to understand about saving them. Lee has a pawesome collection and I bet they are super special to her. I wouldn't want to hurt them at all...but give me some stuffie guts anyday! BOL I can't wait for the Circus and I know we'll have a lot of fun. No one would dare vote out the scottie token. Mom says get rid of the iron, who would want that! BOL
