|Hey... Does anyone have a Tickle Me Elmos Doll?

AAAAARGH!!!!!

Stopitstopitstopit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

|<just joking>

Not funny....
Apart from the fact that I've no idea what one is, that thread has been
plaguing usenet now for a couple of weeks......

|For those of you who don't know what I'm babbling about because you don't
|live in the states, the Tickle Me Elmo is the newest kiddie craze here...
|It's a $30.00 plush red doll based on a Sesame Street Muppet that giggles
|maniaclly and vibrates violently when you push its stomach or sides...
|
|Anywaysm, the doll has been IMPOSSIBLE to find in the stores for the last
|couple months, and they are being sold outside of the stores for close to
|$1000.00 now...

Over here, it's apparently Buzz Lightyear that's impossible to get.....
Fortunately.... I don't have any kiddie relatives.....

At least, none that I've ever met.....

|I work in a Video Store, and we get very desperate people asking us if we
|carry these things... Yeah, right...
|
|I HATE Elmo... almost as bad a Barney...

NOTHING, apart from maybe Wesley Crusher, is as bad as barney.....
