Something something fertility celebration

My mom got my son a couple of Matchbox cars Hot Wheels for Easter.  This is one of them.   I find it vaguely alarming:

Well, okay, not alarming from this angle.  This is just a cop car.  No biggie.  From this angle, though?:

photo 1Can’t have a cop car without carefully-molded machine guns and grenades in the trunk. Because military hardware is the first thing we should think of when we think of “police” nowadays.

Sigh.

(Not for nothin’:  this is my 500th post.)

In which OMG ENOUGH

20130830-183623.jpgI’m posting too much today, I know; it’s been kinda a weird day.

Anyway, blogwank of all blogwank questions:  This blog has been around for six months, give or take.  I just hit my 500th follower today.

Is that good?  Is 500 a lot?  I don’t know how to calibrate my sense of accomplishment around here.  Those of you who actually comment once in a while, how many followers do you have and how long has your blog been around?  Just curious; I promise not to post again today unless something really funny happens.  And even then I might save it until tomorrow.
