Getting there

I think fatigue just decide it wanted to come for a visit. Good thing there is only four and a half hours left. Even better news: I have the next round almost prepared and written already of the Toy game. Again, I’ll give $2 to the winner. Cya in 30!

I’d like to give a shout out to Grace over at Grace Online.

She’s blogging in support of Kiva. KIVA raises money that goes towards entrepreneurs that are currently unable to better themselves to get started or their businesses due to poverty. Donating to the cause means not only bettering one person, but bettering a community and helping people get on their feet.

Everybody always talks about those important things that they’re good at, like playing the guitar or balancing a budget. But nobody ever talks about the little things that everybody is ‘Okay’ at that one person might excel at.
Me? I’m awesome at eating ice cream REALLY FAST! Nothing else, just ice cream!

What is your unsung awesome talent?

Toy: Captain Planet

With your guesses combined, It was Captain Planet!

Captain Planet and the Planeteers was awesome. In fact, it was actually thought up by the same guys who did the Trash Bag Bunch we talked about earlier. For those out of the loop: There was 5 environmentalists who has 5 rings that had powers (Earth, fire, wind, water, heart) to help them fight looting and polluting. When their powers combined, they formed Captain Planet!

It was pretty epic. I had Captain planet and the Geo-Something plane they had. Captain planet had a string that came out of his back so you could ‘fly’ around with him. I also have the NES game around somewhere I think, though it was pretty lame.

I actually still have one of the rings they had, it’s water. If I could figure out where my camera ran off to, I’d show you. Oh well.

Mokia got it FTW! She’s graciously donated her $2 winnings to the folks over at Make Mine Gluten Free! who are blogging for the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness.

Keep it up guys. There will be another round once I think of another toy, so keep ‘em peeled.

You ready for the next round of ‘Guess That Toy’? I am!
This one is pretty easy, I’ll give $2 towards the charity of the first person to guess it in the comments. Ready?
What is it?

This toy requires us to combine our efforts to play with it.

And I’m very inconsistent it providing good content every post. I’ve got Round 5 picked out already for the Toy game (it’ll be easier than the last one, trust me) and will be coming up in 30.

Time for the first plug of the night: Gylanne is blogging on her blog This is me, Take it or Leave it and is blogging for Band of Parents.

Band of parents raises money for research of Neuroblastoma, a deadly form of cancer that effects over 650 children in the U.S. every year. “Survival is dependent on age and disease stage: children diagnosed before the age of 18 months have a high survival rate, but high risk children diagnosed before age 5 have about a 30 percent chance of growing up.”

Give her a little lump change love by pledging here for her cause and be sure to leaver her some comments to keep her going.

Toy: Trash Bag Bunch

Long await answer to Round Four
What is it?
Trash Bag Buddy!

Trash Bag Buddy were a short-lived toy back in 1991. The idea behind them was to bring awareness about recycling and saving the environment.
These were cool because they came in a sold-colored bag so that you couldn’t tell which one it was. When you put it in hot water, the bag turned into dio-degradable green goop and you could take the monster inside out.

They were cool, I just liked them because they were awesome and the suspense between getting it and finding out which you got was always fun.
