Do you remember `Tickle Me Elmo`?
Tickle Me Elmo, is a children’s toy from Tyco-Prescool, a division of Tyco Toys. It was introduced in the United States in 1996, becoming that year’s top fad. Bright red in color and based on Elmo, a Muppet character from Sesame Street, when squeezed, Elmo would chortle. When squeezed three times in a row, Elmo would begin to shake and laugh hysterically.
Here is an image of the `Tickle Me Elmo` from wikipedia.org:
Out of sheer boredom and a reason to laugh out loud, I viewed a recent YouTube.com video of two boys having “fun” again a few minutes ago. The older brother was tickling his younger (asthmatic?) brother.
Of course, I had to take a breather or else pop a nice vein or two in my noggin. Click the link to hear the audio:
Then my mind made yet another connection. And I do recall sending out `tickling thoughts` to the boys prior or after the time that the video was uploaded on February 06, 2010. I’d figured it was before the upload. Then again, I’m fast getting old and cannot remember. I’d better stop thinking too much or out loud to myself and keep my imaginations to myself. Sheesh!
