These things are hard to find? Where? Seems like every damn place I go into has a display of them. Well, [silver lining] they don’t seem to be selling like hotcakes around here. I guess it’s proof that the town I live in is somehow more enlightened than your neighbor. [/silver lining] Still, the fact that they exist is pretty frightening. I actually took a peek at one at the store the other day. It’s about as amusing as the animatronic Xmas tree that was so big a couple of winters ago. In other words, not very. If one were in my house (perhaps as result of a late-night break-in by someone desperate to get rid of it), I think I’d have to smash it to smithereens about the third time it got triggered. If it were Before Coffee, it might not finish the first song. ---

Oh, ChiefScott, you really are missing out on something… The Boogie Bass is an extremely annoying “sold only on TV” gag gifts… It looks like a stuffed bass on a plaque, but the critter has a motion detector on it, and when someone passes by it or moves, the Boogie Bass wiggles and sings annoying little ditties or cracks jokes. It truly is the epitome of evil. ---
