When you squeeze his tummy, he says “OH NOOOOOOOooooooo!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s adorable…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;… the first 10 times you hear it. It’s moved up to SECOND in the favorite toys ever, knocking Honking Hedgehog into third place. Kinda wishing I got him something not as noisy, but he LOVES it.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://mercurypdx.tumblr.com/post/235406846</link><guid>http://mercurypdx.tumblr.com/post/235406846</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:09:00 -0800</pubDate><category>Seven</category><category>greyhound</category></item><item><title>Seven and Mr. Bill</title><description>&lt;img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksppjmwbFF1qzt9h6o1_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seven and Mr. Bill&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://mercurypdx.tumblr.com/post/235402684</link><guid>http://mercurypdx.tumblr.com/post/235402684</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:04:00 -0800</pubDate><category>Seven</category><category>greyhound</category><category>Mr. Bill</category><category>Oh No!</category></item><item><title>talix18:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So friends of mine had a kid last year and they’re  having a party this year to celebrate. My question is what the hell do I get somebody who hasn’t done anything or doesn’t tell anyone what his interests are?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the kind of stuff that gets you gift certificates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Why don’t you get them a nice savings bond for college…”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…is the advice I always get and promptly don’t follow. The cool uncle gets them TOYS not financial security. Pfft.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The noisiest toy ever! &lt;/b&gt; It’s not coming home with you… (this is much more effective if you don’t have kids of your own through which they can reciprocate).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes! Also good: The 1000 piece lego set.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://mercurypdx.tumblr.com/post/235388515</link><guid>http://mercurypdx.tumblr.com/post/235388515</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:46:54 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>(via lifeisdelicious)
