Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 10, 2009
Transcript:
Marcus: I've found what may be the oldest toy at Blisshaven! Alice: What is it? Marcus: I don't know. It's so chewed up and beat up, there's no telling what it once was. It's lost its identity as a "toy." Alice: It's my turn now, Marcus. Give it. Marcus: Yet it retains the power to provoke play envy. Alice: Stop the fancy talk and gimme the dang toy!

I dunno… it has the look of a old school spy gadget or Sci-Fi gizmo. I’d say Miss Bliss has led a secret life!

I saw something like that on the Antique Roadshow. It was a spring-loaded precurser to the electric toothbrush. Too bad the kids busted it ‘cause it was worth $80,000.
