Here's a Friday night funny for you. David Letterman takes on Butterscotch, that strange mechanical toy horse that I wrote about earlier. I'll bet that lady at Hasbro wasn't too happy with Letterman after all was said and done.

I was at Target with my children over the weekend, and we actually saw one of these things. She's cute, but a little freaky at the same time. If you pet her, if she really does respond to your touch. My daughter was swearing up and down that she really will gallop when you sit on her back. And for $300, she really should. But according to the specs, she makes galloping sounds and moves up and down when a child sits on her back.

I'm afraid she'd just collect dust. Or, who knows? Maybe some kid would wind up loving her as much as I loved Jane West and Thunderbolt.
