Hey kid, be careful

Paging Irwin Mainway: A group called World Against Toys Causing Harm has issued a list of what it says are the 10 most dangerous toys. One of the toys is Poo-Dough, a Play-Doh-like substance that’s supposed to look like excrement. The group says the stuff contains wheat gluten and could sicken kids with allergies.

Come to think of it, gluten-free goop that looks like excrement would be a good fit with gluten-free bread, which only tastes like excrement.

It’s also a Dylan song, you dummies: A store in Denver called Isis Books &Gifts has been struck more than once by vandals who think it’s a front for terrorists instead of a New Age shop named for an Egyptian goddess.

The Buzz can think of a name for both the terrorists and the doofuses who throw rocks at stores: Daesh-bags.

Plop, plop, fizz, fizz: Oh, what a relief it would be for pizza chains subject to government calorie labeling rules, if legislation sponsored by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rogers, R-Washington, becomes law.

Although that relief would not allow Pizza Hut to list the calorie count on its BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger pizza as “You really don’t want to know.”
