The Alien, and Other Things

A photo of a toy alien lying on a bed, alone.

Here are some mysterious old film photographs from some Christmas or other at my grandfather's house. First, and possibly most importantly, the alien. From Toy Story. This was a very special character in our household. You could press on his tummy to make him say "ooooh". And that, people, is all you really need.

A girl is standing on top of a man who is lying down on the floor. They look at each other.A girl is smiling at the camera and standing on a man who is lying on the floor.

Here, you might wonder, what the hell is going on? Well, that's me standing on my uncle. He deserved it. I strongly remember being really passionate about that Mickey Mouse t-shirt. I loved that thing.

But did I love it more than these two huge multipacks of crisps? Some questions are hard to answer. 

A girl stands with a sitting woman. Nearby bags of crisps can be seen.

Forget about me though, because it's time to see the cat. She's covered in Beanie Babies. It's normal for her.

Now we must see the journey of a whoopee cushion. First, it's in front of my uncle Steve's face.

A man holds a whoopie cushion in front of his face.

But soon it has a peaceful rest on the couch. Relax now, whoopee cushion. You have done your duty.

A man and a woman are smiling, sitting on a couch. Behind the woman, a whoopie cushion sits, deflated.
