Jelly Man...

Meet Jelly man. Resident of our house since he appeared in the kid's stockings at christmas. Do you remember those rubber octopus toys you used to be able to get that your threw at a window then it slowly crawled down. Jelly man is made of the same material and thus shares some properties with Jelly octopus.

Jelly man has a bit of a rough life. Whenever he appears after being lost(hidden) for a few weeks he is repeatedly throw at full force against any surface the throwee deems he will stick to. During Ewan's birthday party in January, he was used in a mass WallSplaticide incident in a wee segway to get us from one party game to the next.

He is currently hanging from our living room ceiling. Full body splat and stick is a pretty standard manouvre. Hanging from one or more appendages is quite clever, but for full on style points, you want to throw and stick him to the ceil hanging only from his rather diminutive cranium.

He's been there for about two weeks now but if you look at him, I think he likes it and just wants to give everyone a great big hug.
