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.

Spot The Looney
Or anything else on your horizon with a very nice kids' Safari® telescope/spotting scope. CJ calls it a toy-that's-not-a-toy, which means that it's a 15X magnification, 35mm dia, 3-draw scope suitable for watching the moon, the fauna if you're in a Safari mood, or the approaching ships if you're in a Master and Commander mood. It's 7-5/8" long when closed, extends to 14" and comes with eyepiece and objective covers. We'll pick one with a red, yellow, green or blue plastic barrel.

Here's a Tip
In fact, here's a bunch. Save the floors with chair-and table-leg tips, 7/8" ID x 5/8" tall. Also good as teensy paint pots, or pillbox hats for collectible dolls with a Camelot fixation. Our each is a package of (4) in black or white.

Chuck a Nun!
But first, a caveat for the devout emptor: If the word "sacrilegious" gives you pause, you might want to stop reading right now. If not, then this is your chance to quite literally chuck a (tiny) nun with the Nunchuck hand catapult. Frankly, we don't think the chucking game gets any better than this. The spring-loaded black-and-white-plastic nun-gun is 5-3/4" long and comes with (4) assorted Little (1-1/4" tall) Sisters of the Air, ready to soar across the room. Extras available in packs of (10), despite the decline in vocations. (We get extra points, by the way, for not making Flying Nun jokes in this description, but you should feel free.)

Therapeutic Poetry Magnets
Anyone can write lightweight sentiments and Moon-June-Spoon verse with the standard magnetic poetry sets. It takes a special mind – and our special Word Play™ Refrigerator Magnets -- to add real interest to the old Kelvinator. Each set gives you (350) magnets in a jewel case, including both esoteric and common words, suffixes and punctuation marks. The Aliens (encounter, terrifying, creature…) and Ghost Story (eerie, Halloween, spook…) words are Glow-in-the-Dark white on black that glow for an hour and recharge in a few seconds of light. The Gross & Weird (rubbery, spider, larvae…) and Therapy (dysfunctional, sexual, delusions…) are black-on-white, and include (12) blanks and a pencil so you can write your sweetheart’s name in the appropriate space. These were pre-priced to sell in stores at $9.99 each. Our rock-bottom price lets you buy all (4) for melodramatic mixing and matching.

Substantial Chess Board
Nice. Made from thick composition board, it's 15-1/2" sq x 5/8" thick with black and pearly grey squares, non-slip feet at the corners, and a 1-1/8" wide x 3/8" high border, in case you slip. Bonus: it does not come with the too-cutesy woodland chess pieces it was made for, which means you don't have to throw away the toadstool pawns. Good, of course, for checkers, too. Originally $19.95.

Play The Piston Flute
Or the Swanee whistle. Whatever you call it, this little slide whistle (just consider it the smallest trombone in the universe) has an outsized musical history. No elevator has ever fallen in a cartoon without its accompaniment, and no jug band is complete without one, but Louis Armstrong also played one on his Hot Five recordings, and Ravel even required one in an opera score. In assorted plastic colors with a steel slide, 6-7/8" long x 1/2" dia.

Half-Mile Horn
Blow into the little mouthpiece and people four blocks away will look up. Folks any closer will spill their mocha frappucinos in their laps. Actually we think the manufacturer's half-mile-range claim might even be an understatement. The Mega Sound Blaster delivers the loudest horn blast we've ever heard from this small a package (3" long x 2-1/4" dia). It has a 30" neck cord, so you'll always be ready to scare the bejeebers out of woodland critters, tell the rangers you're lost, call the kids in from the lake, or impersonate an 18-wheeler.

Sluuuuuuuuuunky
This is a plastic version of the gray spring toy that rhymes with stinky, but it's twice as tall, many times longer, and a gazillion times more colorful. Ours is 3" in dia x 5" tall and runs through the spectrum twice before it's done, which is pretty near forever. It stretched the length of our office, maybe 35 feet, and still had more to give, which makes us think that aside from its toy potential, it'd make a honey of a party decoration, like an indestructible crepe paper streamer. Get a few of them and your festive adornment needs are met forever.

Building Das Boot?
Finish it off with das periscope. Perfect for a blue-plastic submarine, our blue-plastic periscope will let you see the destroyers following your bubbles, or, if you're stuck on land, let you look around corners. Our visual aid is 1-3/8" dia, telescopes from 14" long to 10", has a clutch to secure the length and a 1" dia port to look through. Handy for reverse snorkeling, too. (Just think about it, OK?)
