You know, I have been lamenting the future of humanity based upon the state of the youth I see today… Thank you, ObiMom, for giving me hope! In the meantime, I have a horde of unsuspecting nieces and nephews to corrupt – um, I mean, influence.

Thanks for the article!

My 8 yr old grew up with Buffy on constantly, first as the series, later as the DVDs. Her favorite episode is Hush, though Once More with Feeling is a close second. She’s into Supernatural now (Dean girl through and through.)

The boy, who is 5, had unlocked all the characters on the Lego Star Wars game, and is quivering with anticipation for Lego Indiana Jones. We’re gearing up for new Indy this month, showing him the 3rd one.

I’m pretty sure I’m on the right track to raising fanchildren.

Thanks, everybody! I’ll see if I can’t get that “redrum” scariness on film! And as for other great onsies at Hot Topic… we also have the Storm Trooper one that says “Storm Pooper.” Freakin’ brilliant.

Great article! I particularly enjoyed the “first word” part. Shared that with my co-workers. I’d love to see video of that Shining impression. Hee hee.

I liked the article. Your baby is so cute. I got the “Who’s Your Daddy” Darth Vader onesies for my nephew. I love some of the stuff they come up with for babies to wear.

Love it! I’m creating a similar game plan for my two-year-old daughter

Yes, it exists. My husband bought it for Christmas and it freaked the hell out of our 3-year-old. He thought it was a spider at first, then once he figured out it wasn’t, he started liking it. Go figure. We found it at Amazon.com but there are several other outlets on the Internet tat sell it. Just Google it, baby.

Great article, Rachel

a plush face-hugger from Alien or a Mr. Gordo replica from Buffy

I’ve seen the Mr. Gordo replica…but is there really a plush face-hugger? If so I must have it. I love stuffed animals. Love.
