i’m pretty sure this mutant creature thingy that is a pixar brainchild holds my sanity in his hands for the next, oh i don’t know – TEN WEEKS! i can thank the brilliant marketing minds at disney for that i’m sure. through their machinations, they have permeated the brains of five year old boys to make sure their parents spend every last discretionary dollar on useless plastic merchandise. well, maybe most parents. cause i’m not going to be one. except for the birthday party decorations, a toy, movie tickets, licensed birthday cake, and maybe a t-shirt. but i’m telling you, that is absolutely positively where it ends.
