The Randomest Toy I Bought this Summer

Different store in Sausalito had this. That's right "Crunching Dog."
You plug him into your USB port and he does sit-ups.
Actually I think it's a "she" because the dog is wearing a sports bra (without pants by the way).
By the way check out the abs on this bitch. (I use "bitch" in it's literal, canine sense.)

Her she is in action.
Yup, that's pretty much it.

    The curious thing about this sit-ups is that she hits very hard with her back to the floor, isn it?

    That's dangerous.

    I really dont think thats a she... the USB port is just in the wrong area for it to be a she and it plugs into the computer so it must be a he wearing a sports bra...

  15. *~Dani~*July 15, 2009 at 4:03 AM

    I don't think that is a sports bra but one of those half tank tops that were popular with the boys in the 80s. Your dog USB is just from a different decade.

    "The Donald duck theory" The period in the evolution of an animated character to act human while still maintaining enough characteristics of an animal to justify the not wearing of the appropriate articles of clothing.
    This is some times confused with "the Chimpanzee theory" The period in evolution that a chimpanzee must where a diaper, but they don't need to wear pants or shorts to cover them up.

    I have the USB humping dog. It was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend (so romantic). The ab-crunching dog is bizarre, but at least it can be used in a public place.

    besides abs, the crouching dog does another "ability"? like 2GB storage or even, bluetooth conection?

    but I must agree it is very random, maybe not the randomest toy, but maybe the randomest USB gadget I have ever seen.

    Too funny. Also, while reading the post I downloaded the little video of the bitch in action. And totally forgot about it. And you know how in OS X (Leopard) the most recent downloaded item has an image next to the Trash? Yeah, I just glanced down and saw it...the miniature of the thumbnail for that video looks a little...racy. So I clicked and laughed all over again. Hopefully I'll keep forgetting about it and repeating this process for a while.

    This is awesome! It appears we share a brain on this subject... My wife usually will humor me when I buy things like this, because I just give them to one of our nieces or nephews when I have played with it enough (or humiliated myself in public with it ;)) However, if you ever get to Chicago let us know! I have quite a collection of some stores that have all kinds of stuff like this, and I would love to show you around, plus we can have a super munch fest because I also know of all the best places to eat. I am trying to get back to O'ahu again this November, but I am sure you will be busy with work. Keep up the great work Jorge! I love reading your blog!!!

    Oh my. Happened to stumble across your blog through Cake Wrecks and laughed pretty hard at this post.

    A good friend once sent me this strangely similar mini art book for my birthday last year. Labs With Abs

    The best part, and you can see it if you scroll down, is that the cover says "so real! so tite!". An important new part of my daily vocabulary.

    Cheers.
