Meanwhile, caught in all the hype of the recent death of Micheal Jackson: (may he rest in peace) I (like many others) proceeded to watch various works of his, mostly his videos. So while I was browsing the galleries of youtube. I came across the music video for "Scream".
I obviously started watching it and you know, it's a good song. However, that's not what caught my attention. As I was watching it, it eventually came to the part where it's Micheal dancing on the wall and all over the floor....
there were bumble balls.
And along with that site came many fond memories of my childhood and how I used to own one of these facinating anomalies. I remember 'oogling' over it's rotating motor and it's random movements which seem to come more out of an impulse, rather than a premeditate move.
Nowadays these kids have these toys that talk, think, piss, and probably soon enough take a shit. I'd probably have more fun with a bumble ball other than the robotic dogs of today. See, I would put my bumble ball on the edge of stairs and turn it on and just watch that thing fall down the stairs. Course I'd probably end up running after it and then doing it all over again, but being that young, I only had to worry about the battery dying. Eventually I got a little more creative and put small lego type of structures at the bottom. Those were the days...
I'm glad they still make these things... Except they only make it for pets now.
I'm still going to buy my kids one. Do you think it's weird that I still remember what the rubber things taste like?
