goolin & the gagaland of flying bengal tigers

My windows com got wiped-out. Again.
I went out with my sis recently and "won" a stuffed Stitch toy from that coin-sucking, curse-inducing toy grabing machine in a sleazy arcade. Yeah, the kind with pincers so flexible you'd think they were screwed on with bluetac. And yet it still attracts hoards of dumb people willing to blow $20 trying to grab a furry pencil case when you can get the same thing for 7 baht in Thailand.

Anyway, that Stitch cost $10. And we didnt even really knock it down the gutter. It's bloody head was so big it got stuck.
Yeah, i think that's why they make them heads so huge. Like tweety bird or Doraemon. So that when you drop them down the hole, their nauseatingly cute mugs will clog up the hole and Lo'! stare back up at you with their gigantic eyes and impossibly smug grins. Taunting you to smash the tofu pincers in their synthetically stuffed faces while your wallet gets violated 5 times over.

Oh yeah, so its head got stuck and while we were considering tipping the machine over with the excuse of dropping our keys underneath, a really sour faced lady who was in a rush to do "maintenance", gave us godly sympathy, opened the glass casing and tossed our stuck friend to us.
What an adrenaline killer. But that's ok. My sis was happy enough. She loves Stitch.
