Pine Car Mass Pile up
I expect a certain level of disaster when dealing with children and/or parents of children. But what occurred in the Pine car panels can only be likened to a disastrous Interstate pile up caused by ice, speeding, alcohol, and possibly a moose. The shear destruction the poor pine car rack undertook was on a near Armageddon scale and it took crews (meaning me, thanks) nearly 30 straight minutes to sort through the wreckage of wheels, sandpaper, stickers, decals, paint, glue, body skins, weights, chassis, and starter blocks, before it was all cleaned up.
In Other News
A trail of yellow paint was found splattered here and there around the store... when the trail was followed back to its point of origin it was discovered that someone, in a wheelchair, had knocked several tubes of paint off the wrack and proceeded to run them over, leaving a wonderful multi-colored mess in the paint aisle.
Adventures in Figurines
A battle, or perhaps a mass exodus, was in it's beginning stages...however, it was thwarted by the efforts of the Frame Shop Guy, and thus I only witnessed the last stragglers (being the Red Knight on a Sheep)..... FSG did tell me, however, that it had been pretty spectacular.

The Grizzly Bears decided to take a field trip over to the Felt... I'm not sure why yet... but they seemed to be enjoying it quite thoroughly. I have come to the conclusion that either they just really like felt or someone gave them some very Special Pills.

In an effort to attain peace amidst themselves the Cowboys and Indians decided to throw one HELL of a party. I, sadly, missed the main event, but I was witness to the after math. People ending up in other peoples slots, Indians with Cowboys... horses with dinosaurs... and someone decided it was a good idea to bring a hot pink feather boa into the equation somewhere..... I'm sad I missed it, but I am glad that it's not my drunk picture that is going to end up on various social networking sites.

In a strange re-inaction of Finding Nemo... the residents one of the "Undersea" Toobs, the clownfish and a shark...all were found "swimming" around by the barn stuff.... It was quite comical if for no other reason than the Clownfish is NOT made on the same scale as any of the others and thus dwarfed all the other fish/sea life/and the shark.
---------
I'm guessing that some things were said and/or blackmail was involved after the WILD party. Everyone was back to their antics again. The cowboy with the mustache and the cowboy with the two colts were riding past one another in a strange dual.... the indians were attacking a group of cowboys. Meanwhile the Mega Rex was back to eating the others.....
----------
One poor cowboy met his doom. I found his horse hanging by its halter up on one of the pegs.... the poor cowboy had fallen. I thought about giving him a proper service, but I just stuck him back with the others instead.... no one has noticed yet. Which is making me kind of suspicious.... I do not need zombie cowboys....
