"Because there are not nearly enough beeping, zapping, bixxerfouping, anthropomorphic synthesizer monsters in the world."

My friend Grant from Electric Laser People (formerly The Product™) was just telling me about this here Thingamagoop (no really, that's its name). I can't even begin to explain how much it makes me want to squeal (and shell out $100 plus $6 shipping, like pronto). Watch the video — my favorite part is when they ride around on the turntable.
High fives for Thingamagoops! (I'm still high fiving, yes.)

I found the video strangely compelling and terrifying, all at the same time.
And, the Thingamapgoops would do wonders for terrifying my cat. I'll see your High Five and raise you a "D'oh!" (in honor of the Homer Simpson 420 celebration day of it all).

Did anyone else notice the TIG props you'll find when you click on Imaginary-Gary's name? I'll give you a "gimme a five! up high! down low! TOO SLOW!", like my stepdad used to do, for that, Gary!
(Sorry about the seizure.)

Indeed, multiple high-fives for the kind words!! Thanks SPB!

I read about these a few months ago in Electronic Music Magazine! There were pictures of two cute little pink ones, so I used them for an art project at school :]

I'm buying one for every single one of my 11 nieces and nephews and then I'm going to wait for the hate mail to come from my brothers and sisters...

P.S., I got to play with my friend's Thingamagoop (sounds dirty!) last night. Yes, friends, it is well worth the money. Hours of pure entertainment! Even the baby and the dogs at the barbecue were delighted by it!

Okay, where do I begin here...
First, I thought it was called ThingamaPOOP, which is quite a bit cooler than the actual name, IMHO.
Second, I watched that video, had an audio-induced seizure and have been laying here on my office floor for 10 miutes, and my office mates drew a mustache on my face with a sharpie.
I'll give you a low five... maybe one on the side. But, no way am I high fiving on this one. ;)
