Rubber-headed spring clamp holds objects (up to 1/4" thick) in a firm grip but won't hurt them. A two-position thumb latch locks the 3" long U-shaped clamp closed on thicker or thinner stuff. Meant for clamping things together while glue sets, but you could also use this clamp to grab onto something loopless so you can hang it from a hook.

90199 RUBBER HEADED CLAMP |
THE American classic novelty item (even ahead of the whoopee cushion and rubber vomit, we think) is a set of chattering choppers. Auto-dentures. Invented by Eddy Goldfarb in 1949, a man who made the Toy Industry Hall of Fame ahead of Milton Bradley, these are, not to put too fine a point on it, the sine qua non of gagdom, the ne plus ultra of spring-driven frivolity. Ours are 2-1/2" dia, with a wind-up key.

92824 CHATTERING TEETH |
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.)

88182 BATTERY 6V |
Look at the kids eyeing this bobble toy! A green claw holds an approx 2" dia eyeball too garish to be truly yucky, and they both rock on a particularly springy spring with a self-adhesive metal base. It'a a dashboard (or skateboard) toy made for the prepubescent (or permanently pubescent) driver.

38001 SPRING SNAP |
No more wasted energy stirring your coffee; no more dregs at the bottom of your hot chocolate; no more mocha residue in the remains of your morning mocha latte. Not with the Stir-Crazy Spin Mugs, born at the nexus of the beverage mug and the mini-blender industries. Each clear-plastic drinking mug, (you'll get a pair) is 5-1/4" tall x 3-1/2" dia (approx 12 oz) with a pair of (dead) "AA" batteries in the black base. Replace the batteries, hit the push-button, and watch the little coiled-spring whisk stir up the contents while you relax. Could whip up a little salad vinaigrette, too. They come with black sippy-cup lids and are, unsurprisingly, not dishwasher safe.

37449 BLENDER CUPS |
Think dental office supplies. Our mini-choppers are 1-3/16" wide x 1-1/4" deep and open to a max of 5/8", before they chomp down like the spring clips they are. Your dentist isn't on your gift list? Clip them to notes that you really want to sink your teeth into. Sadly, the little hinged false teeth have a bite too tight to work as earrings unless you, well, enjoy a little pain.
