993934 Remote Control, Hopping, Yodelling Lederhosen
It's the next generation of novelty lederhosen! Each 6-1/4" tall, plastic pair of Bavarian trousers is activated by infrared remote control technology. Just press the button on the 4-1/2" long, plastic knockwurst and watch in joyous astonishment as the lederhosen hops around and sings a merry little yodel. Undoubtedly, one of the most absurdly hysterical products ever created. Requires two AAA batteries (not included).


Go to the website for a Flash demonstration of how it works!

See a video of the lederhosen in action!

Walking Moaning Zombie
Run! Hide! Barricade yourself in the basement of an abandoned farmhouse! This 7-3/4" tall, plastic Remote Control Zombie will trudge forward and groan when you activate him by pressing the button on the 2-3/4" long brain-shaped remote. Horrifyingly entertaining! Articulated at the neck, shoulders and hips. Requires three AAA batteries (not included).

419287 Au contraire -- it's just an expression of my mental state and a commentary on the implications of my recent sleep-to-wake ratio.

698433 The blowjob, among other things, such as scenting, low-grade cuddling, and stone rolling, was invented by neolithic "man," who one day, as is reported crudely by the dappled squiggles at Lascaux, capped his womanfolk's scalp with his neolithic hand and "delivered" her to his groin. This was a profound innovation over prevailing customs, [i.e., rubbing the phallus between newly-dead fish] and signaled the advent of rudimentary sexual politics. Cunnilingus, on the other hand, was not invented until 1923, quite by accident, during a swimming accident in a Latvian natatorium. Its techniques have yet to be sufficiently elaborated upon and/or studied by scientists, who have been preoccupied for the past eighty years with the Aurora Borealis and saccharine.

419287 Thanks for your concern, Danny. I'm afraid that recently I've just been puking up my psychic torment through other forms of media! No, I haven't been productive in society or anything like that, just channeling my obsessive energies into different things.... I don't have much of a dimmer switch, so if I'm not here in a scary way, then I'm not really here.

Also, I just haven't been into reading much lately for some awful reason. Maybe summertime and its attendant forms of bad behavior are getting in the way....?

But don't worry, I'm sure a relapse is in the works. I always come back. Bookface owns our eternal souls, so we don't have much choice in the end, now, do we?

1002888 "In response to your query, my avatar is a film still from Exorcist 3 which particularly traumatized me when I first saw it."

So, the film still was enough to traumatize you, then? I'm guessing, duh. Apparently.

I've not seen it based on the principle that sequels to horror films are never as good as the first in the series. Unless, I hear/think otherwise. So, it would seem that I agree with you.

from Noran

993934 David, are you after me now?! Having dreams of doing in your friendly Er nurse? I use to wear dresses, until they stopped making scrub dresses about 15 years ago. Never wore my cap though--started in orthopedics and the traction bars would keep knocking them off. Only floor back then you did have to wear your cap on, but if you floated to another unit, you wore cap. Purdue colors!

1002888 RA asked the very question I was tempted to ask. I was worried, though, mostly because when it's tiny and kind of faraway, it looks sort of... phallic. :-\

731690 You're very perceptive, David. I probably was thinking something rude when that picture was taken. But not about you. You can consider it a friendly hello.
