I was at Target today looking for Halloween decorations for my yard when I noticed that nearly every item I picked up had the following warning on the back:
Prop 65 Warning: This product contains lead, a
chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Uh, yeah. Happy Halloween! The best I could figure was that it applied to decorations with electrical wiring coated for outdoor use. But, see, once I'm given a warning like that I either develop OCD and have to wrap myself in Saran Wrap before I can touch it OR I have the opposite inclination and find myself strangely compelled to floss with the lead-caked cord. (Possibly these are two ends of the same spectrum.) Needless to say, in the interest of safety, I didn't buy anything.

I hate when I
google to see if Spots and Emma can safely have a certain type of fresh
vegetable and instead of getting a list of Guinea Pig Approved Foods, I
get something like this or this.

Overheard today at Target:
Manager
(talking to female employee): Now do you understand that before you
can clean the bathroom you have to make sure ALL the men are out first?

Hey, my cousin is in a music video!! He's the shirtless guy at the bar.

<sputter> flossing with the lead caked cord? Oh my God. There is something amiss in your head. I mean, I understand the inclination exactly....but I would never think of flossing. Chewing on it, sure. Like licorice strings.
<snort> Licorice was the exact other image I was going to use. LOLOL
OMG, I'm totally going to hurl now. Thanks for MAKING me click those links and reading that stuff. :::shudder:::
