Me: We have to be careful what Mateo plays with or he might develop gender identification issues.
Dave: Well, if he plays with My Little Christian Ponies, he will.
Me: Actually, that would be trans-species identification disorder.
Dave: I wonder if they’ve thought of G.I. Missionary Joe yet?
Me: There’s an untapped market for ya’.
Dave: I’d start with the apostles. They could play pretend about their journey to Rome and the first church of Corinth. And then act out the stoning. Each figurine would come with a packet of gravel.
Me: How did people die from stoning anyway? Couldn’t they just run away? Or duck?
Dave: I dunno. Maybe you should blog about it.
Me: Nah. Too gory. Anyway, it seems a very ineffective way to kill someone. I would imagine it taking a really long time.
Dave: I think I read about someone running away from a stoning recently. I think it’s legal in other countries.
Me: Well, now "getting stoned" has taken on a very different meaning.
Dave: A better meaning.
Me: Now THAT should be legal.

Yes, that is a very weird conversation. Bryan and I have had our share of weird ones, too. I think it keeps things interesting!
Actually, along with the Christian praise ponies they were selling bible character action figures that looked like He-man on steroids. They had Samson and Moses. I'm sure they have others out.
For Samson the warrior figure you can shop at amazon.com
