Photo-A-Day #644 01/12/07

Target still had a few items on major clearance. This remote control VW bus with an MP3 player hook up in the trunk was marked down from $60.00 to $14.00. I picked it up because I’d really like to repaint it some Buffett colors and fill my MP3 player with Buffett tunes and drive it around the next concert in the Tweeter Parking lot.

Here is the rear view. The bus also makes me think of the A-Team for some reason even through the van and the colors are off. There is just something about it that makes me thing A-Team.

Bessie the Flying Cow

While on a search for new Transformers toys on amazon.com I came across this unique toy. It is called Bessie the Flying Cow. Bessie apparently flies over 50 feet in the air and makes a screaming noise. From the Product Description.

Launch these super plush toys skyward and listen to them belt out their unique animal call — fun for all ages!

So I assume that Bessie would Moo as she flies through the air. But they don’t just have flying cows. Nope, there are other flying animals as well. There is Huck the Flying Duck, which cracks me up because “Huck” is another word for throw and that is what you do with these toys, you throw them. So you “huck” ’em around. Then there is Wally the Flying Pig. He must crash a lot. And there is also Freddie the Flying Frog. Aren’t all frogs named Kermit or Freddie? And last but not least is the Funky Chicken, however Funky Chicken must be purchased as part of some other package like the “Fab 5” Farm 5-Pack. There are also flying monkeys with various colored helmets.
