The childhood toy I remember loving and losing was a Stretch Monster, an ugly green monster that you could pull and stretch. My brother poked a hole in him. There was purple goo inside that got all over the carpet. He was in double-trouble - my mom was pissed that he ruined the carpet and I was furious that he ruined one of my favorite toys!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My oder brother had a G.I. Joe. The old, 12" tall kind. Joe had a suitcase full of grenades, which was so cool, because it was a suitcase full of grenades!

There's a Robert Sheckley story about a robotic vaccuum that falls in love with a woman and has itself shipped to her so it can try to seduce her.

The status is NOT quo.
I think I had 30+ Breyer horses over my childhood. I totally played with them like dolls. I, also, thought Barbie was lame, but I loved my Princess of Power dolls. My favorites were Angella and Mermista.
Is it any wonder that I became a Buffy fan?

Gloomcookie, you could have copied and pasted that directly out of my brain! We also had a Stretch Octopus (in powder blue). And if you punched the Stretch [toy], rather than stretching it slowly, the goo inside was all hard and really hurt your hand! (Or your little brother, if you chose to pummel him with the Stretch Monster. And by "you," I mean me.)

I remember the Stretch Monster and Stretch Armstrong (a friend had one) but not Stretch Octopus. Except when I think the phrase "Stretch Octopus" in my head, it seems... oddly familiar....

There's a great 2 Nice Girls song about She-Ra, Princess of Power. Anyway, I'm off to the pep rally. Go Cats! Or, um, something.
I'm not the spirit-est of teachers, I'm afraid. Bye!
