Martin and Chris have discovered my brother’s cache of old toys and are fascinated by them. I remember so many of them–like the action figures he kept under his pillow and called: “My men.” As in his famous quote at about three years old when he found out what college was: “I don’t want to go to college. I want to stay here and play with my men.”
Of particular interest is the car from the old show Knight Rider with the accompanying David Hasselhoff action figure. Although I was a bit disturbed seeing my little boys play with a miniature David Hasselhoff, I shrugged and introduced them anyway. “Guys, this is David Hasselhoff. Can you say David Hasselhoff, Chris?”
“Hazel Hasselhoff!”
And Hazel Hasselhoff it is.
As in, “Steve, come quickly! Hazel Hasselhoff rescued a baby croc who was captured by a poacher and needs your help because he got injured! Get Bindi and bring the helicopter!”
And, “Steve, come quickly! The baby is eating Hazel Hasselhoff’s head!”
I am laughing so hard I am trying not to wet myself…I can totally picture it, and the baby with the MAN in his mouth- that’s priceless! And I know that the boys take the whole thing so seriously!
And yay, you’re posting again! =)
You’re right, Marya. Hazel Hasselhoff is certainly no joke. It’s all very serious. Especially when s/he’s injured. (I’m not sure of Hazel’s gender, and no one cares, so it’s all good.)
That was a literal LOL post. Hazel Hasselhoff. Hahahah.
My brother refered to his toys as “my men” and “my stuffs” when he was a wee one. It was so cute.

Hazel Hasselhoff suffers the final indignity (the hair is the first) of being eaten by a Giant Baby. You hate to see that happen but the world will be a better place

Hey there,
I’m looking for a way to contact the owner of this blog, but the about page doesn’t seem to be active. Could you please help me out?
Thanks!
Too funny! I love the Steve Irwin / Hazel Hasselhoff combo. Who would want to go away to college when you have all that at home?

I hear that Hazel is HUGE in Germany.
My son discovered my brother’s old ninja turtles. He was thoroughly confused and couldn’t even begin to say their names.
I’m sorry. I’m distracted by the Hazel part because then THE Hoff becomes part nut (although some would argue he’s ALL nut) and then you add in the German bit and I’ve got Nutella on the brain and I want to go lick something tasty.

This is hilarious. Do you really have a Steve Irwin doll? Is it vintage too? That pic of “Hazel” in the baby’s mouth is priceless.
A propos of almost nothing: In a small village near where my husband and I honeymooned in Costa Rica, there was, inexplicably, a headshot of David Hasselhoff taped to the door of the schoolhouse. Also, oddly, I once shared an elevator with him in a bank parking lot in Beverly Hills. He’s very tall, and skinny.
