February 12, 2009: Our Newest Toy

The Super Munchkin mascot suit is a very serious marketing tool, worthy of much brow-furrowing on when and where it will appear for maximum effect.

For the moment, though, it's just a great big toy to play with.

We got Phil to put the entire thing on, and walk around the office (and outside!). Maneuvering will require some practice, both for Phil and whomever is helping him not bump into tables. But my biggest worry -- heat exhaustion -- is somewhat lessened by the comfortable fabric and the (very quiet) head fan.
