Hearing One Day -- Mark Gallo and the Witness

Da Boyz!

Picture from Hometown

So, you want to know what I get in the mail? Sure you do. Today I got these: Plush representations of (from left) Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin and Socrates, which I got from here. And you may ask yourself, well, what does a 34-year-old man do with plush dolls of Einstein, Darwin and Socrates? Well, I don't know what other 34-year-old men do with their cloth representations of the Great Thinkers, but what I'm going to do is re-enact The Apology, using my daughter Athena's stuffed animals as the Men of Athens, and maybe have Darwin pull duty as Meletus. Then maybe a quick romp through Crito, with Einstein as Socrates' prison visitor. What could possibly be more fun for a four-year-old? Not to mention my wife, who as it happens is currently reading The Apology for a philosophy class she's taking. It's nonstop hilarity here at the Scalzi home, I tell you!

If you've got some funkier toys, I'd love to hear about them. And let's see some pictures while you're at it.

    You had stuffed animals in your humanities class in high school? Odd.
