Um ... no. But thank you!

This is the carnival story set in the 1920s, I should have probably said.

Carnival prizes in that era included celluloid dolls, including Kewpie dolls, that usually wore sort of flapper headbands and brightly colored feathers; ruby flash glass that could be engraved with names and dates; and carnival glass.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

W00T GUD!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
