			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here in the Philippines the elderly are respected and revered; these two toys are definitely not from the Philippines. First up are the wheelchair and racetrack bound <a href="http://www.whatonearthcatalog.com/cgi-bin/hazel.cgi?randomizer=696805056&amp;action=detail&amp;item=AW6062" target="_blank">racing grannies</a>. Racing grannies. I can barely wrap my head around the concept.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5526 aligncenter" title="racing_grannies_slot_cars" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/racing_grannies_slot_cars.jpg" alt="racing grannies slot cars" width="520" height="282" /></p>
<p>The grannies can be individually controlled and are powered by AA batteries. The elliptical racetrack ensures that the race will go on even if the grannies forget where they&#8217;re going. Or what they&#8217;re supposed to be doing in the first place.  Stop it. Respect and revere. Of course if you have racing grannies, then <a href="http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/speeding-grandads/index.html" target="_blank">speeding granddads</a> can&#8217;t be far behind. Actually they might even overtake the grannies because they&#8217;re on mini scooters. Bitchin&#8217;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5504" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/speeding-granddads.jpg" alt="speeding granddads" width="520" height="291" title="speeding granddads photo" /></p>
<p>Whereas other cars are equipped with nitrous oxide for speed boosts, the mini scooters are fitted with oxygen tanks. For life boosts.</p>
