* Kinda started running out of ideas toward the end there, eh?
* You know what sand is good for? Burying Cabbage Patch Kids.
* So now you’re thinking, “I spent all that money on an American Girls Doll when I could have just bought some sand?”
* It’s OK, toy fire engine – remember, it’s an honor just to be nominated.
* I was a bad kid. One of my favorite things to play with wasn’t a fire engine, it was fire.
* I get the feeling the “National Selection Advisory Committee” is just some neighbor kids of the guy who runs the museum.
