Got Weepuls?

Well, do you? If not, don't worry, Calob has plenty!!! His school had a magazine fundraiser (the same one where Calob won the XBox 360 last year) and part of their incentive was getting weepuls. Huh? Exactly! I had never heard of a weepul before and I'm not sure I ever need to hear of them or see them again. Of course, Calob has a few to show me though ... sheesh. The kids got 1 weepul for every 2 magazines they sold. Calob sold 24 magazine = 12 weepuls. Here's a picture of Calob with all his weepuls.
So, to top it off, for selling 16 orders they got a quadrupler weepul ... don't ask. Here's a picture of Calob with that gem. ☺

What?! You have never heard of these things?! I remember them being quite popular when I was a kid...which would have been in the 80's....at any rate I have found a little bit of history for you.

Oh my dog! That's...impressive, I dare say. I don't think our color-changing straw and rubbery giraffe pencil topper can even begin to compete. Now, if Nick should win either the glow-in-the-dark Garfield shirt ($15 value) or the World's Largest Piano Mat (similar to the one in the movie "Big") OR the family trip to Walt Disney World...THEN we'll be right up there with Calob.

Until then, we'll be playing with the straw. Wheeeee...ugh!
