I’m not much for dogs… but this level of obedience is impressive. Almost as impressive as the surprise at the end!

Jimmy Fallen asked for videos of folks playing video games with their mom. You can tell the children chose some of the more action oriented games for them to try. One mom cracks me up asking for Viva Piñata without even knowing it.

Today I present my first ever Buzz Lightyear poster. It hails from 1995.
This joker has hung in several locations over the years. It’s been in Macon, Georgia, Lakeland, Florida, Kansas City, Missouri and now in Saint Petersburg, FL. The best place he hug though was in a little blue and white nursery over the crib of my son James. The whole room was done up like Andy’s room with several shelves lined with Buzz Lightyear memorabilia.
So I have this kite. Probably cost $2. But it means a lot to me.
It was given to me by my bus driver. I say ‘my’ driver because back in 2000-2003 or so I was a “Bus Captain” in charge of a route picking up inner-city youth to attend the Waj’n War Youth Group. Some of the best memories of my life was during that time.
This Buzz was done by request from a couple of little girls at church playing with an Etch-A-Sketch.
“Can you draw Buzz?” they asked. “We’ll find out,” I answered.
A few moments later they were already amazed, bored and wanted it back so I never got to finish. But here he is anyway.
This Buzz says, “This is me moments before they shook me to death!”
In a previous post called Buzz Lightyear: Gifts From Children I wrote about “Fabulous” Buzz (above). Back when I got him he was being sold as a cake topper.
I was in Dollar Tree the other day and found this.
Possibly the best name for a product ever conceived. But isn’t the word “Jiggle” usually reserved for Jello and lady parts? Yes. But we’re Disney so we’ll do whatever the Fairy Godmother we want! We’re slapping that moniker on our new product and that product is for children!
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “I’m more interested in that Back to the Future Blu-ray than I am these Buzz cups” and that’s a darn shame.
You’re about to learn more about cups than you ever thought possible.
First, a quiz.
Today we have bubbles… or at least things that make bubbles. One in the bath the other in the air. Why does that sound so wrong?
To the left is a bottle of traditional “blow through a textured hole on a stick” bubbles. Buzz stands atop the lid looking off into the distance surely wondering why I didn’t dust it before I shot the picture.
In my online travels I’ve come across several Buzz Lightyear cakes. I thought it would be cool to feature some of them in a post. To my surprise there are many more Buzz Lightyear cakes out there than I ever thought possible. More than I expected, and more than I will end up featuring here. But, instead of one post, there are more than enough for at least 4-5 posts.
I’ve grouped them into categories. Today’s category is what we’ll call “Bursting” because apparently a popular feature of custom Buzz cakes is to have him bursting out of the top of the cake itself.
