Fry Baby

In between checking media buys today, the following instant messenger conversation ensued after I decided I was going to buy a crock pot online, and sent my sister a link for a crock pot in the shape of a football:

KA4 (1:31:01 PM): this is what i'm buying
SA2 (1:31:21 PM): cause you are such a football fan
KA4 (1:31:33 PM): you know me
KA4 (1:31:37 PM): i am an athletic supporter
SA2 (1:31:55 PM): it should really go with your decor
KA4 (1:32:00 PM): yes
KA4 (1:32:11 PM): i will place it right underneath the deer head on the wall
KA4 (1:32:24 PM): and the "fry-daddy" french fryer
SA2 (1:32:46 PM): remind me to tell you a sick story about the fry-baby
SA2 (1:32:55 PM): the fry-daddy's smaller version
KA4 (1:34:22 PM): ew
KA4 (1:34:23 PM): ok
KA4 (1:34:38 PM): if it involves [name of her ex-boyfriend] and a hot glue gun and a box of twinkies and a fry baby, don't bother
SA2 (1:34:52 PM): no, it involves a lawsuit that was filed
KA4 (1:35:02 PM): against a french fry?
SA2 (1:35:19 PM): a mother was deep frying some food in the fry-baby (the name of the product)
SA2 (1:35:51 PM): her small child grabbed the cord and because there was no safety mechanism, the fry-baby tipped over and scalded the child severely with the hot oil
SA2 (1:36:02 PM): the manufacturer of the fry-baby was sued
SA2 (1:36:50 PM): and, before the case ever went to a jury, the manufacturer fought a big long lawsuit over whether the plaintiffs were allowed to utter the name fry-baby since the product did actually fry a baby
KA4 (1:37:31 PM): no way
SA2 (1:37:45 PM): yes way
KA4 (1:38:08 PM): that is the best story i've heard in a long time
SA2 (1:38:27 PM): glad to have amused
SA2 (1:38:47 PM): the sad part is, i can't remember if they won or not. I think they lost since it was the actual name of their actual fryer
KA4 (1:40:06 PM): no, the sad part is that you didn't buy one
SA2 (1:40:15 PM): true
