Ohio kid channels Toy Story pals, clawing into claw machine

 

Somebody better call Buzz and Woody, stat.

 

A little boy apparently crawled through the prize door of an arcade-style claw machine in Mason, Ohio, right after lunchtime on July 7. His adventure was captured by surveillance footage and subsequently posted online.

Not sure where his accompanying adult/s were at this point. 

 

The claw machine was situated in a hallway, but pushed into a nearby store after a man in a volunteer tee shirt spotted the lad’s legs sticking out of the prize chute.

 Police and EMS personnel were called to the scene and rescued the boy by dismantling the back of the claw machine.

 The incident, reported by ABC Chicago, Scripps News, UPI, and other news outlets, occurred at the Mason Community Center in Warren County, about 22 miles north of Cincinnati.

 At least he got to keep the stuffed animal toy, which he handed to his mother after coming out of the machine.

 Guess that’s one way to claw your way to the top.

Holiday game - Christmas carol titles undone

Here’s a tricky and fun game for a holiday party. I worked a little wordplay with 32 well-known Christmas carols and holiday songs. 

How many of these holiday songs (both sacred & secular) do you recognize? Can you decipher the titles? In some cases, the word orders and sentence structures have been altered, although the meanings still stand. See if you and your guests (family, friends, coworkers, students, or others) can figure them out. (Example: Stuff I Treasure Most = My Favorite Things)

NOTE: Feel free to print and copy the list for personal and party use. Republication or reposting (on websites, in emails, in print, or otherwise) is prohibited, as the list is original, copyrighted material.

Work it out solo, in pairs, in trios, in teams, or as a whole group. For an extra challenge, set a timer!

The answers will appear in tomorrow’s post, here at Delightfully Amiss: Berzerkians Gone Amok.
