Here is a photo of the luckiest kid in the world. Look at that cute little face. He seems to be saying “I have a Vespa rocking horse. Do you have a Vespa rocking horse? Where do you keep your Vespa rocking horse? I’m but a small child so I can only assume that all other children have a Vespa rocking horse just like mine.”
While I’ve got news for you, Diego. My childhood rocking horse consisted of little more than some cheap springs, a whole lot of ass splinters, and general disappointment.
Aw, I’m just jealous. That’s why I’ve been so moody lately. It’s not Diego’s fault, he clearly has an awesome grandpa. And to be fair, my grandpa did buy me Castle Grayskull no questions asked when I was five. Can your Vespa rocking horse travel to Eternia, Diego? Oh, it just stays in one place? I see. Hmm, that’s unfortunate.

Your grandpa was the shit for getting you Grayskull. I had to build mine out of cardboard boxes.
Cardboard boxes? Lucky. I had to build my boxes out of small leaves.
Leaves? Lucky. I had to build my leaves by engineering a genetic enhancer and implanting a formula into my skin to cause it to shed leaf-shaped excess epidermis.
Genetically shed skin? I had to walk around the back streets of London sweeping up the shed skin of indigent prostitutes for weeks at a time and then put them in a sock and filter them with my own urine until they turned to a mulch that I could then roll out and dry on my grannies broken ironing board.
Prostitute shed skin? Mine was made from following around Nickleback on tour and collecting the tears of all they played for. Plus Michael Jackson’s nose (too soon?).
custom built? The vespa parts look too small to be actuall scooter parts…did he hand form the metal, etc?
No, he built a shrink ray, collapsed a regular size vespa, and then made the rocking horse.
Dave, I do believe that’s the first time you’ve made me laugh aloud.
With dignity,
