Hey all! We just put in a new pool and expect to be enjoying it by Memorial Day. I need help finding really fun, cool pool toys. Your challenge (if you choose to accept it) is to find websites that have cool pool stuff that I can buy (not from auction). Let the fun begin! :::Splash!::: Zette ---

Well, it isn’t a website, but I can give you a suggestion: Put Vaseline all over a whole watermelon and play “keep-away” in the pool. Nuthin’s more fun than a greased watermelon. ---

[Toysrus.com](http://Toysrus.com) has some stuff. My suggestion was vague and useless, I know, but more than anyone else seems to have offered so far (for websites, I mean). our local WAL-Mart sells the most insane Super Soakers you’ve ever seen. They’re huge. And you don’t have to pay shipping fees 🙂 it’s finals week this week though, which means they kick us out of dorms pretty soon, so I’m sorry to say that I won’t be around to crash your pool party, Zette ☹ ---

Oooh, oooh, there are a bunch of 'em in the millions of catalogs I get. Now if I haven’t recycled 'em and if they have websites. Will get looking. Some of these things almost made made me buy some, and I don’t have a pool. ::forlorn look:: And I really love pools! ::damp sniff:: Thass’ okay. I’ll look this up. I’m just glad _somebody_ can relax in crystal, cool water and frolic around. ::mops sweat from brow:: Veb (Actually, it’s 50 degrees and windy, but I’ll still try to excavate the catalogs. Worth a try, non?) ---

Easy. As my fiancé lives in a house with 4 other bachelors with a pool, there are all variety of fun toys in that pool. My favorite is the inflatable chair; his favorite is the kiddie land speeder (yup, Star Wars pool toy). It’s hilarious–that land speeder is made for a kid, but somehow that 6’5" body finds a way to fit on that thing. ---

Get one of those big “Paradise Island” things, the biggest floaty thing you can find. You can fit about twenty people on it and it takes two days to blow up. Tons-O-fun guaranteed. Bo ---

Pool Party at Zette’s house! I’ll bring a couple of six packs of good German beer and my world famous spinach artichoke dip.
