I'm back

[unpaidpiper]

I don't think anybody noticed I was gone, but I took a trip east to talk to a guy in New York about purchasing this:

The first time, when I was exhausted from jet lag, I actually screamed.

If you had any idea how hard I just laughed, I think you might slap me.

That's quite the undertaking, Hart. I'm awfully impressed, I have to say. And a little terrified, but you know. Clearly that means it's doing what it's supposed to.

Oh, and did you know you share your birthday with my outsourced graphics design girl? Both on May 19th, I'll have to get you something nice. I could be particularly cruel and make her design her own card for shits and giggles.

A card from Hallmark would be just as nice, you know.

She's so scary in person. Her eyes are so life-like, I'm going to see if I can fit cameras in them.
She wasn't that hard to buy, actually. She had her own display in a little museum in Queens, but apparently they made other dolls as back-up. The one I have is the one that still works, the one still on display is just a very creepy and empty doll.

That's...it's really...

BUT WHY?!

Because

[unpaidpiper]

This is awesome.

[seiberwing]

Rats coming out of her mouth would scare the shit out of anyone who came in, so that's a psychological benefit.

Why you would want that accursed thing in your house to begin with, I don't know.

[unpaidpiper]

BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME.

And while psyching someone out might work, but I need something a little more reliable. Or at least a plan B.

[seiberwing]

Hey, no need for an alarm, you'd just hear them screaming.

Attach tiny flamethrowers to the rats?

[unpaidpiper]

I'm not worried about anyone breaking in while I'm home.

I'd rather not weaponize the rats. They might hurt themselves, or each other.
