Can I sum up:
We need a coordinated lifestyler to advertise the fact that we wish to totally transform a ceramic elmo into a lot of unidentifiable debris?
Have I got this right, or did I miss something.
PS: I have the opinion that Tickle Me Elmos are objects which should be included in the Geneva Convention as something which human beings (which excludes lawyers in general, most taxi drivers, all Microsoft marketing personnel - and, for the English - the French ) should not be subject to, as with torture and George W.

Probably more to diguise the fact, than advertise. We dont want to be lynched by the teeny-bopper mums that these toys are *really* aimed at.

Heheh... Yeah sounds fairly complicated.
I believe the instructions for mine said. A straight sapling and bend it by tying it to a tent peg. If I remember correctly I used to trip over it all the time!
Gave up and pulled the plant out ^_^

There's a video on youtube of someone burning a tickle-me Elmo. It continues laughing happily while it starts burning up and, oh yes, burning horrificly nightmarish images on your brain!

Munchausen's syndrome.
[en.wikipedia.org]
There was also a Terry Gilliam film about the man, though. That confused me for a long time.

Kitten,
Your problem is solved.
Your vocational assessment, tarot cards, tea leaves, cloud shapes, Tim Tam crumbs alll say:
Go into Federal politics.
With jokes like Abbot in there you should be able to get a job no worries.
You could even start up a new party. Qualifications would have to include an excellent knowledge of the "world of Jasper ff' and a good working knowledge of Terry P,Robert R, Tom H. Anyone not sufficiently inundated with these philosophies of the universe would be ineligible for becoming an MP.
Start now - you probably got only a few weeks, maybe less, as I haven't seen the news yet today.

The day I enter politics is the day I throw my moral compass away and start taking huge sacks of money in used notes from mysterious un-named big-businessmen, and frittering away tax payer money on fact finding trips to the bahamas.
A few weeks... Yeah, I can still make it!

Can you do a 'French Revolution Elmo" for each coiuntry? Ie, customise them for markets?
i am sure a French Guillotine Bush would sell.
As for Australia i am certain that if you made a 'French Guillotine cane toad' we would all get the joke and buy one. (my apologies to any cane toads, their familes and associates, reading the forum. I am aware that cane toads are a part of the Darwininan process of filling niche environments and that eventually your descendants will evolve into something else. Unfortunately there is no evidence that politicians will ever evolve into something useful.)
