The Stick was inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame today. Yes. A stick. I’d rather play with chlamydia.
“It’s very open-ended, all-natural, the perfect price — there aren’t any rules or instructions for its use,” said Christopher Bensch, the museum’s curator of collections. “It can be a Wild West horse, a medieval knight’s sword, a boat on a stream or a slingshot with a rubber band. … No snowman is complete without a couple of stick arms, and every campfire needs a stick for toasting marshmallows.

Thanks WeLove2Read, much appreciated. And yeah, I can think of nothing I’d enjoy less than a stick. It might be because I haven’t had an imagination in decades thanks to TV, movies, and video games, but still.
