I am no match for the FORCES OF GEEKITUDE

TRANSFORMERS FRIENDS!

I totally relayed some of our conversation below to Three -- no leading statements at all, only that I was saying how it seems everything cool comes from Japan, like flying squirrels (this all came about because of today's Cute Overload picture of the momonga) and robots and Transformers.

Completely unbidden, he begins lecturing me that, "Well, Japan just makes the toys. If they hadn't invented the stuff in America, we probably would have no story and no toys here."


....

XD

I AM SUITABLY CHASTISED, GUYS.

I'm picturing that he's going to get to go to Katsucon and everyone will start chanting, "One of us, one of us, one of us..."

Did you tell him they actually make toys in China? So, they can add the lead paint and toxic chemicals and stuff?

I'm sparing him from the sweatshop discussion yet -- he's already pretty darn ethically conflicted about eating meat. Normal ten year old kid, which is to say, his tastebuds are really acute and hot dogs are delicious, veggies are too strong-tasting. BUT, he would really morally prefer veganism. Even in Spore all of his characters are herbivorous.

(He was SO crushed when we bought some soydogs and no, they're just nasty. He was hoping that would be the ultimate solution.)

Aw, what a sweetie!

I wonder if any of the 10 gazillion vegetarians I know in Seattle would have any idea of a warm & fuzzy alternative to hot dogs? I usually tend to find the best vegetarian food stuff that's not pretending to be meat.
