Sorry Nelson army guy has bought the farm. Also you guys are gonna need a new toaster.

Was plastic army guy able to save Barbie?

Nelson’s army guy fainted in the heat of preparing for the commander’s toast.

Ain’t Nelson a little too old to do this kind of thing? He usually looks more clever.

I remember as a kid being at my grandparents. One evening they took me to a park where the restaurant there had great fish and chips. My grandfather got takeout and when we got home he put the three plates in the oven to warm them up a bit. However he forgot the plastic film that covered those dinners. Of course it melted all over the fish and chips. We had a dilly of a time trying to salvage those meals. Money was tight, the take out was a treat so we had to make the best of it.

In the toaster? Usually kids put them in the microwave.

My brothers destroyed my Easy Bake Oven many years ago. They had used it to melt their Green Army Men. (Apparently they were jealous that my toy could make food.) It was an awful smell!

I would say it s Nelson!

My brother took his wife and 2 sons to visit his mother-in-law, who never cooked meals. While there he went to preheat the oven for a frozen pizza for the boys. A burning plastic smell emerged. Turns out that is where she stored her Tupperware. True story. Lets just say it didn’t endear him to the MIL.

Can’t you smell that smell?

Well sounds like it’s time for a new toaster.

It probably is, Nelson.

So how did they resolve the cat using the toilet issue?

the army guy is now a melted unrecognizable plastic army guy.

Detention. Resulting in a somewhat larger detention.

Unlikely. There are so many possibilities. On an unrelated topic, no matter how well bred the army guy was, now he’s toast.

He must have had to spend the night in the box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqhyIIZt87A

So, the plastic army guy is toast? ;) (Someone had to say it!)

Reason No.# 385 why I don’t have kids…….

Gonna change the taste of anything else that gets toasted.

Nelson, don’t admit you did it. The cat put it in there.

They couldn’t reach the toaster. I found stuff in the VCR.

Ah yes, Nelson, a chip off the ole Block Head.

I’m surprised Nelson did that….LOL

That army man is toast!

Nelson should have put the army figure in Earl’s coffee mug. “The best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup.”

When I was a kid I buttered my toast before toasting it.

That would be the one!

Fortunately toasters are cheap.

So long Nelson……..

Many years ago, back when I was a kid, a mouse was in the kitchen, on the counter, and mom was trying to hit it with a pan. The mouse ran into the toaster, which mom then put the pan on top of it, and hit the button…we never used that toaster again.

UH-OH!!! Nelson’s in his “figure mangling” phase of being a little boy! I STILL regret destroying all the cool 90s action figures I used to have at 35.:( (Ace Duck from “Bucky O’Hare” made it I know . . . )

They make a Gummy version of green army men.

No, no, he’s floating face down in that big patch between California and Hawaii. But, it could be his Purple Heart.

One of my wive’s uncles was last seen in a cave just before the North Koreans used to flamethrower on it.

I imagine the plastic soldier smelled a lot better burning.

OOooops…

Nelson, “Hope springs eternal” (A. Pope),,, but sometimes fails to materialize.

Now for the obvious: the army guy is toast

You are busted Nelson!

Lesson learned, life moves on.

he’s gonna have tanlines
