Last week while visiting her grandparents, Elly has been playing with a number of Greg's old toys from his childhood. Most of them are Fisher Price toys from the early 1970's that he and his three sisters were raised on; decades later they are still in great condition and are being played with by their children. These toys are from an era when the Fisher Price name was synonymous with quality unlike Elly's Fisher Price toys that will be lucky to last until her second birthday. Stay tuned for that column.

While Elly and I were playing with the safari set, we came across the safari guide. I nearly wet my drawers and the floor around us! He had a classic 70's mustache that made him look more like a vintage porn star or one of the Village People than a safari guide.

This got me wondering ... How did this guy influence Greg? Did he find him hot? Why did Pixar leave VPSG (Village People Safari Guy) out of the Toy Story trilogy? Are they saving him for the adult version? If so, what will they call the movie - "Sex Toy Story"? Would Woody, aptly named, still play the lead role? In the straight version, would he be cast opposite Barbie and all her slutty friends? In the gay version, would it be Ken and throngs of army men? So many questions!

The rest of the week whenever we played safari, I had to leave VPSG in the toy chest. I couldn't quite look at him the same way anymore.
