Okay, I was browsing around the Internets looking for information on games and toys about horses, and I followed this link and found this toy, which isn't available anymore, I can't imagine why. Go read the product description and then tell me this isn't the weirdest thing you've ever read.

I don't blog here as frequently as at their brother site, AfterElton.com, but they let my inner Warrior Princess run free now and then when I have news to report about Lucy Lawless, Renee O'Connor, or Xena: Warrior Princess.

"You may wish to not open the box around your children if they may be frightened by a box with a decapitated horse inside. " I laughed out loud at that one!

The commercial is on TV non stop and my five year old had been asking for one.(and asking and asking and shouting and yelling and asking every time it came on TV) Over the weekend they went to Target to look at it and the horse bit both my kids. It chews the carrots and FINGERS! while making a crunching noise, and costs 250 bucks! No Butterscotch for us!

Okay...yea, it's kinda cool. But it also kinda creeps me out. I get happy when stroked, too.

Today while the commercial was one my youngest said:
"Why does it look so nice, but act so mean? Why did Buttersctoch bite me"?
good question!lol
For that kind of money seems someone before my kids would have found that "buttersctoch bites"!

I love the description. Detached head? Decapitated? Do they really want to sell this thing? And it's $589!?
Btw, it is available again.

I just want to know where the carrot goes..Does it actually deficate it out or do we have to go surfing for it?
Posted by: Melanie | 21 November 2006 at 05:51 PM
My kids say you take the carrot back out of the mouth. We used to have Gobbles the Garbage Eating Goat (even before John Waters wrote about it!) and it was the best toy ever! He pooped whatever you fed it.
Posted by: nancy | 21 November 2006 at 08:19 PM
whoa! for that kinda money you could almost by the kid a real pony.
the decapatated head part is great. haha. it does kinda look like my old pony growing up...sweet Buttermilk.
