Bar Brawl Elmo

I was recently reminded of the Christmas that Hopper got a Tickle Me Elmo.
Jee bought one in July or something; way before the whole Elmo craze kicked off.
Do you remember the year that people went apeshit for Elmo? People were selling them on Ebay for crazy money. It was just stupid.
Anyway. Hopper gets this Tickle Me Elmo.
He can't squeeze hard enough to make the thing work though. He somehow figures out that if he lays the doll on the floor and pushes on his chest 3 times the doll will do it's thing.

Picture it: toddler lays Elmo on the floor, pushes on his chest 1-2-3...and then the doll flops around as if having a seizure.
CPR Elmo is born.

So friends would come around and I'd tell Hopper. " go get CPR Elmo".
He'd get the doll and do his thing. Big Laugh.
Then he got wise.
"why do I need to get down on the floor and push on this things chest " he thought.
"why not just stomp on the chest?"

Now picture this: Toddler drops doll on the floor. Toddler savagely stomps the doll three times
'unh, unh, unh!' doll flops around as if having a seizure.
Let me introduce "Bar Brawl Elmo".

So the same friends come around and I say have you seen Hoppers new doll? they say "yeah we saw it, funny stuff dude"
"Actually I don't think you have seen anything like this. Hey Hopper! Elmo was talkin' smack again!"
Hopper brings the doll in and says some baby talk angrily (kid couldn't talk yet but , damn, he could chew you out in baby talk) and then stomps the hell out of the doll. Doll flops around like it just took a hell of a beating (which it did).

Man I miss those days.
