"Let me tiptoe through your veldt
Let me stomple your albino
Let me nibble on your nubs
I'm your Love Rhino"

Everybody sing!

I lurvs the foamy! and I even found him by myself!

Actually, I think you do need to say more, Shel.

What's exciting about a 14 year old boy?
Unless your his 40 year old female English teacher?
Then he might be interesting for about 30 seconds after class.

The 14 yr. old son also LURVES Foamy. He LURVES Foamy so much that he quotes him. Constantly. And annoyingly. Until I want to scream (loudly) if I hear ONE MORE Foamy routine....

Has he tried Happy Tree Friends (a wiki link, not a link to the cartoons)?

"As indicated on the official site, it is "not recommended for small children". Despite its childish appearance, the show is extremely violent, "

I would add - Not recommended for almost all children. It takes a bit of getting used to.

I'm going to pretend I did not see this... he doesn't need any more ideas!!

recluse · 11-13-2010, 02:42 PM

At least one would be nice though, don't you think?

**imagine me screaming in frustration, here.**

Last winter, when I went to the Julie Hyzy signing at the Borders in DeKalb, there was an associate there who was taking pictures. He later ended up as a contact on my Facebook (stop right there, this is NOT a Facebook or not debate!) when I asked him for copies of some of the pictures he took of me and Julie.
Ever since then, he occasionally comes up with a post about how the Borders in DeKalb can't sell ebook reading devices. I have done everything (given advice, given him selling points to use) but go in that store and show him how it's done (and probably get thrown out of the store in the process).
The problem? He has no passion for his product. He doesn't see the use of the devices so he can't sell them. I can't inject passion for the product in this kid, of course, but it frustrates me NO END to see him basically losing sales for no reason other than his lack of investment in what he's supposed to be selling.
While I realize, of course, that there are always going to be people that for one reason or another don't take to ebooks and ebook reading devices, you just can't sell something you don't care about yourself.
