Who the freak invented Playdoh?

It had to be a male. A seriously disgruntled husband who was trying to get back at his wife by inventing the worst toy ever, thats who invented it. Do you think a mom would invent a toy that their kids would want to eat, that crumbles all over the friggin house, that is IMPOSSIBLE to get out of carpet?! Heck no!

Here at the Cline household Playdoh has been the cause of World War III. Seriously I'm about to drop some bombs on a certain little 5 yr old that thinks its fun to wrap ALL his figurines in Playdoh...do you know how difficult it is to get all that Playdoh out of all those little cracks and crevices?! Because I do!! AND IT SUCKS!! If they didn't cost $7 a pop I'd throw out the entire collection. But nooooooo, here I am pulling Playdoh out of Luke Skywalkers butt. I'd like to drop kick my kid like a football right now...don't be alarmed...I won't really do it. But a girl can dream, right?

Here's a random fun fact I just found out. The makers of Playdoh- Noah McVicker and Joseph McVicker. MALES! And originally they made it as a wallpaper cleaner...wtf? Whose bright idea was it to let the kids play with the wallpaper cleaner? UGH.

Okay enough complaining! I just had to vent. And on a more serious note, I'm super bummed about Michael Jackon passing away. Despite all the controversy that surrounded him and his life, he was an American Icon. The King of Pop. The guy was just Bad. I will truly miss his amazing performances and the sequined glove. I'm so thankful for his music, at least we'll always have that. Now I'm gonna go slide around my kitchen floor with my glove on, let out a loud "HEE-HEEE....OWWW" and rock out to some MJ.

  1. Stopping by from sits and read your post. He was an american Icon! The jackson 5 and his stuff from the 80's...Genious. But I think he was sick, maybe seriously depressed and suffering. It is too bad he went from an icon to a freak. I loved him back when. Hopefully most of the people remember how amazing he was nad not this...ya know?

  5. I keep the playdoh up and away. When S gets to play with it he can only play with it and the toys he has for it (which admittedly are too many anyway LOL). He LOVES playdoh and even more since it's a special toy that he gets to play with.

    PS throw throw the toys in a sink with warm water and soap...soak then use a TOOTHBRUSH.

    Seriously gonna miss the MJ too! LOVED HIM! Always been one of my faves.

    Funny that you said drop kick because I totally say that too ROTFL

  6. I loved you're post on play-doh!!! I had to laugh because it made me think...MEN! Only they would come up with something unrealistic and with out any logic involved, and i espceialy had to laugh that the makers wanted to use it as a wallpaper cleaner, i mean seriously, ae you kidding me. Judging by the mess it makes it would have screwed up any wallpaper!!!

    I agree its really sad about MJ. He wont be forgotten.

  8. My pet peeve with playDoh is I don't like it when kids mix the colors...I'm in big trouble I think when I have kids, hopefully I can get over the mixing and let them be kids!

  9. It could be worse - Nickelodeon's Gak Splat, Oh My Gross. It stains every surface it touches, and it runs/oozes.
    I don't know if they still sell that crap, but stay far, far away.

    Moon Sand my eye.

    Slime (and its counterfeits) is redeemed by the farting sound. I can't help it - I love Slime.

    I hate watercolors, and most markers. ("Washable"? Puh-leez.)

    Crayons melt in a hot car. I'm a dumba**.

    Finger paints. Eek!

    I need some Advil.

  10. Love the new blog look! Sorry about the play dough mess :) I think it is pretty funny that men invented it. I bet they didn't even have children at the time! :)

  11. Your blog looks great girl!


    I loathe playdough. However, to make it more bearable take a cardboard tray that a case of water comes in and have the kids play with it in that. Mess is contained a little bit more!

  12. Your blog is rocking it!!! Playdo = toxic. I'm throwing the whole lot away today. WTF? And, yes it is a bummer to see the King of Pop pass. Get on your glove and work it out girl.

  13. Your new look is faboosh! Loves it!

    Michael Jackson...ugh. So sad! I still can hardly believe it.

    I love the mental image of playdoh getting plucked from the crevices of Luke's butt. Awesome!

  14. Dude, when I was a nanny, my kids used to play with this stuff that resembled Floam. One child was a color purist and hated for the colors to touch each other, while the other child liked to smoosh them together for kicks. And once mixed, they can never, NEVER be separated. I believe some time-outs ensued after that debacle.

  15. I can't get Moose to play with Play-doh, I guess I should enjoy that for now. lol

  16. Okay. I love you. You said 'Holla' on the SITS roll call and I knew I would find a friend! And Playdoh...I am known for hating it. But I DO buy it as gifts to the boogers I don't like in my kids classes as gifts. I have punctured my foot more times than not with that crap. Have a great one SITSta.

  20. Note to self: Never buy Play Doh for Toot. That is so sad about MJ...

    ReplyDelete
  21. we are so over playdoh here. my kids don't even ask me to buy it anymore...i have said no so many times already. that's a mom-mom's house toy, 'cause she's crazy like that. that's probably why they like her more. poor michael. i will have to see if i still have the poster of him in the yellow outfit that used to hang on my bedroom wall. and the pin for my jacket.

  22. I'm with you. Playdoh is hell. But what are you going to do? It keeps them busy for hours. The boys just pulled it out the other week and decided it was best if they played in the dining room. Now that I now have pink playdoh in my white carpet. It is also stuck in the bottom of their sneakers, and my air vents. You get major props for pulling it out of Skywalker's butt.

  31. Play-doh is SO evil! It has been banned in this house since my 2 older ones were about 3-4. I got SO tired of picking it up off the floor, finding dried out balls in the toy boxes or as you said wrapped up in something it shouldn't be in. I've found it in the washer/drier, pockets, and in my carpet. If I had a nickle for every time I had sit for an hour with a butter knife scraping it up from under my table (carpet dining room) I'd be a millionaire I swear it! I prefer finger paints :) Those are usually washable :).

    MJ will so be missed :(. I was completely shocked when my mom told me.

  32. Play-doh is evil but kids LOVE it and it keeps them quite so I am decided that play-doh happens outside and thats it. If it gets all grassy fine then I will just throw it away. And if they eat it, fine. Its non-toxic.

  33. I love the new look of your blog! :)

  34. Stopping by from SITS, and OMG you crack me up with the playdoh....My son got some for his 2 yr bday in May....yeah that was put in the closet and may never be taken out! Good thing he didn't notice...besides it says 3+ years...who does that? Buy a 2 year old playdoh! I have a recipe to make my own playdoh and even then I don't think I will!
    Have fun cleaning Luke Skywalker's butt LOL

  35. Just found your blog. Super cute.

    Playdough in Luke Skywalker's butt is hot.

    Just kidding.

    Preach on SITSta!

  36. Don't hate me but....I love Play Doh! I buy it for my nephew all the time, so I can play with it, too!!!

    So sad about Michael Jackson. I was never a big fan of his though he had some great songs in the 80's but this is still sad.

    ReplyDelete
  37. You can make "play-doh" that's safe to eat (tastes gross but at least it isn't toxic). Try googling play dough or salt dough recipes.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Same guy who invented Silly Putty, I think. Has one of your kids ever left it lying around the house? It melts into a little puddle, and it stains, too! I've been totally slothful today...commemorating MJ's passing by watching MTV non-stop. At least the Music TV Station is back to what it was intended for!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Dude I loved playdoh back in the day...never thought about ow my mum must have felt clearing it all away though lol ... I still can't believe Michael Jackson :O

    ReplyDelete
  40. Drop kick your child, you went there! Love it! Is this why on Jon & Kate they only let their kids play with playdoh outside? Good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm anti-playdoh. My poor kids hardly ever get to play with it. Usually when they do, I make it and throw it away that night so they don't make messes for days on end. I hate the little crumbs everywhere and how you still find them for a week after they play with it.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I had no idea - thanks for sharing! And, good luck with Luke's fanny.

    ReplyDelete
  43. We haven't reached the playdoh stage yet. I'm thinking, when we do, I might just make peanut butter playdoh and then he has to eat it off the carpet or off of any little toys he wraps it around.

    I was so bummed about Michael Jackson! He's one of my favorite performers of all time. I was so looking forward to his new CD and I had dreams that one day I might be able to afford a nosebleed ticket to one of his random concert tours.

  44. oh my gosh, I love playdoh (SORRY). AND I am also a bad bad aunt because I give lots of it to my nephews and nieces... hehe!! my sister-in-law also thinks playdoh is the devil... guess I won't understand until I have my own little babies to mess up everything!! good luck!
