Just stubled across this on Roadside America, just in time for President’s Day:

I need one.
One? I want to have a bouquet of them, like in the photo!
A house divided against itself cannot nom nom nom…
It reminds me of a giant Pez dispenser.
It’s tacky. I have never seen one of these ‘grabber heads’ before. What do you do with them?
You grab things with it. There’s a handle with a squeezable grip at the other end of the stick-- Squeeze it, and the jaws close. In principle, this could be put to practical use to pick up things that are on high shelves or otherwise out of reach, but the angle of the jaws usually makes that difficult (there are non-toy grabbers built for that purpose, though). In practice, it’s most useful for annoying grown-ups by biting their ears from afar.
Use them to bite females on the ass with.
I’d hook all the triggers together and make them lip sync to the Ode to Joy.
Nom nom nom…
There was a stand up comic (whose name escapes me) who as part of his routine had three alligator grabber heads linked together and they lip synced to (IIRC) Elvis’ “Don’t Be Cruel”.
I’ll bet he originally used them to sync Elton John’s “Crocodile Rock”.
Just like the Muppets.
Actually, this item might be the Ultimate weirdest :Lincoln Souvenir:
Heh heh. “The Great Masticator.”
My girlfriend and her daughter spent a few days in Springfield to celebrate the Lincoln Bicentenniel (and to visit me), and they got one of these from the Presidential Museum.
No, that would be the Clinton model…
Oh. My. Og.
I’m so proud of my native land right now I could just cry 
Well, I just wasted/spent 30 minutes roaming that site (which I’ve seen before but there’s so much yet to see). Gee, thanks, guys.
Yes, everyone knows Lincoln preferred his asses rugged and attached to a man.
