Wal\*Mart now has the movie “Despicable Me” for sale with a free inflatable minion included in the package with the disk.

His name is David.

Well, you need more than one if you’re going to do anything good, really. Nobody sends their minion out to cause havoc, you’ve got to have minion **s** or all the other evil overlords are just going to point and laugh.

Inflatable minion! The dog is wondering why I’m snickering like a madwoman over here.

And yeah, what **Antigen** said.

Inflatable minion – hee hee!

I’ve had a minion for ages now. I won him in a claw game. He’s stuffed so I don’t have to worry about accidentally popping him.

My son has the one from the claw game, too. His name is Jeremy.

A joke stolen from our own **JayJay**.

How did the hero know that the Evil Overlord was Jewish?

He had minyans!

Heh. My cubemate has THREE minions. These guys are made out of cardstock from a pattern she found online.

Pix will follow after I go back to the office on Tuesday.
