What Happened To Bob The Builder??

I've got a baby boy on the way, and as any good contractor dad would, I wanna get him started off right. I was at Wal-Fart in the toy department looking for Bob the Builder toys and he's nowhere to be found! Instead, there's some character named Handy Manny?? I picked up a set of tools and pushed the "try me" button, then a screwdriver yelled out "HOLA" and started dancing. WTF??

Great! Made me laugh and now I have to explain myself to the wife while she's still watching ghostwhisperer.

Congratulations on the baby boy. Will he be in time for Xmas?

Best toy for a yougster is a good dad anyway. Give him that.

Good Luck
Dave

Re: What Happened To Bob The Builder??

Congrats on the baby boy!
For starters teach him to stay out of
Wallyworld and the Despot.
If memory serves, Cheryl Crow doesn't
exist there either.
