The Truth About Elvis!

I apologize for all the edging marks -- I'm not so great with Illustrator yet...

Recently DuckyBoy and I stumbled across a whole galaxy's worth of YouTube videos reviewing various Transformer Toys.

One of our favorite reviewers is SeanxLong. His humorous asides have sparked several interesting conversations between DB and me:

DB: "Why does he have the Autobots talk about looking for girls a lot?"

Me: "Because he's a young man, and that's what young guys do and think about."

But! When we watched Sean's 100th-video special, we found out a secret! Learn what really happened to Elvis at about 2 mins: 30 secs into the video ...



The story of how Grimlock and the DinoBots come to be was just on this morning. I don't get to see much while DB watches it before school, so I actually watched it myself while I had my coffee after DB got on the bus!

Fortunately I haven't had to tell DB what "beyatches" means yet. Can you watch the language, Jazz? Thanks!

Autismus Prime

It makes total sense to me that DuckyBoy has taken to the characters of the Transformers, especially now that we've discovered the animated series on Cartoon Network.

Robots that turn into vehicles? Just his thing! Coupled with the fact that, in the animated series, the robots are trying to figure out the customs and norms of life on earth, just as he is.

He's been enchanted by the whole idea for at least 2 years -- his Optimus Prime costume is headed into its 3rd Halloween season (and getting a lot of play right now as well!).
