WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It's 1953 all over again! Now you can buy your favorite childhood toy for your grandkids! We have the original Burp Gun that rapid-fires small ping-pong-type balls the length of our office as fast as we can pump the barrel (no batteries needed). All right, we remember the grip of the original as plain old brown plastic, and this one is bright red - but kids are used to a lot more stimulation these days! The Burp Gun, which comes with 15 balls, is 30" long when fully extended. The Burp Pistol, which comes with 7 balls, is 12" at its smallest and extends to 17". Great fun - but maybe you'd better buy a couple of bags of extra balls (10 per bag). Big sisters still stomp on them.

Wow! Double Wow!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
This is Philip’s new favorite toy, since he blasted a rocket so high over our parking lot that he lost sight of it (the rocket, not the parking lot). The Air Burst™ Rocket system has a 26” tall, air–powered tri–pod launcher made of plastic and rigid foam. A 65” long air hose connects it to any stand–up bike pump. After a few pumps, the air pressure bursts a replaceable booster disc in the launcher and sends a 10” x 3/4” dia rocket 250 to 1000 feet into the air. Wow! The system includes the launcher, (2) rockets, and (60) boosters (two different weights). Sending rockets out of sight, even if they usually come straight back down, is an ingenuous ploy for selling extra rockets. Our each is a pack of (2). And having extra rockets is an ingenuous ploy for selling extra booster discs. Our each is another bag of (60). No bicycle pump? The 18” black Tech Team pump blew majestically through a “double bozon” booster for us! It creates up to 120 lbs of pressure while most pumps will only generate 80 psi. It fits a Schrader (American) valve. Warning: The Air Burst™ Rocket is for ages 10 and up, with adult supervision. Don’t let us catch you out there without a kid!

DRINKING BIRD
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
A rather dumb looking 6" bird with a felt covered head and has plastic feet. Worse, he cannot get his fill of water. You buy the drinks. Fluid inside condenses from the evaporative cooling of the water off the bird's beak, making it top heavy and dunking it back into the water. The condensate rejoins the liquid pool in the bird's bulb, and he tips up again. Process continues indefinitely. It works, but it's not any more than moderately well made, and not any more than moderately priced. WARNING! The fluid and dye inside the bird can permanently stain, and the bird's glass body can easily be broken. Children are fascinated by the bobbing bird, and the educational possibilities are great. But they should watch it, not fondle it!!

Screeching Monkey Superhero
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Look! Up in the sky! It's a screeching flying monkey to the rescue! And at a screechingly low price. Our hero is an 11" long stuffed monkey in superhero togs (a cape, and maybe a mask or hood, depending on his sartorial whim). Put two fingers in the little pockets on his paws, pull his bungee arms back, and let him go. He'll fly a good 25 feet or more, issuing hideous monkey screeches all the while, faster than a flying nun and able to brighten up a day in the office in a single bound.

The Happiest Hamster
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Our very favorite new pet at AS&S goes by his Japanese name, Hamasuta, and runs around and around in his translucent, 5" dia plastic ball. Or you can take the happy little hamster out and watch him scurry all over the place, redirecting when he hits obstacles, like a tiny, furry roombot without the vacuuming. He's 3-1/2" long, in authentic beige and white with little pink ears and nose. Packs an enormous amount of cute into a small furry package. You add (1) "AAA" battery.

Love Meter
AKA hand boiler. An exotic bit of hand blown glass with a bulb at top and bottom connected by some zippy tubing that spirals, loops, and/or jogs. In the closed system is some colored liquid (methyl chloride) that is very light. Hold the lower bulb in you hand and as the air in the system is warmed it pushes the fluid through the loops to the upper chamber. When all the liquid is pushed out of the lower bulb, expanding air will bubble through the tubing making it appear that the liquid is boiling. WARNING! The glass is fragile and the liquid is nasty. If you drop the thing on e.g. the kitchen tile, it will eat the finish off the tile and the stain in the liquid will permanently stain the floor. So don't let kids handle this item unsupervised. About 7" tall, it is a favorite in our stores.

Fun On The Fridge
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Even as you read this, our office refrigerator is playing all by itself. Yours could, too, if you had this extremely cool set of automatic working-gear fridge magnets. Very instructive for budding engineers, just plain fun to watch, and, we assume, amusing for the ice box itself. You'll get (20) 3/8" thick plastic gears in assorted neon colors, all of which interlock in various patterns and turn all by themselves, driven by the 5" dia x 2" thick motorized gear/picture frame that runs on a couple of "AA"s that you provide. Gears include (7) at 4-5/8" dia and 3-1/2" dia and (6) at 2-1/2" dia. Buncha bright stickers included at no extra cost.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Ga-Booooiiiiiinnngggg!
The manufacturer calls it the Thunder Tube". We call it indispensable for the amateur Foley operator. It's a 7" long x 2-1/2" dia PVC tube with a resonant head at one end attached to a 17" long x 3/16" dia extension spring. Shake it, scrape it, wiggle it, use your palm to muffle it and you generate creaks, deep warbles, rumbles, weird heterodyne-ish gong effects, wa-wa's, rude noises, and, yes, realistic thunder. A perfect musical companion to your cuica and rain stick--and good, clean fun around the house. Don't make a sound-track without it.

Paleontological Pen
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It's a ptero-pen, a standard ballpoint pen with a flying pterodactyl perched on top, spring-loaded so that when you write, he flaps his gray-plastic wings. When you write ellipses…he flaps them really fast. The dino is 2-1/2" long with a 5" wingspan, and the pen comes with its own little stand.
