    Got one of these bad boys off of eBay to take on my highschool senior trip. :D He'll be the hotel room mascot...and so far he isn't shutting up. He just sang to me. how sweet.

    Anyone remember these? We had one ages ago that met its demise via slingshot when I entered teenager-dom. Muahahahaha

    I was a bit old when they came out, so I never got one. Yeah, I know--very sad.

    I must say though, I'd have taken the batteries out and shoved some dynamite in their place.

    Now THAT'S entertainment! ;D

    :lol: To be honest with you, I have no idea what I did with the ones I had but now I'm kinda sad that I didn't do what Reef Sparky suggested.

    DOD regulations state that they are not to be near any type of sensitive documents or present for classified conversations. I am dead serious, there are actual regulations against Furby's in the DOD regulations manual.

    Well it's pretty obvious why--just look at it. Anyone would be hard pressed not to completely trust and confide in the thing. Think of the espionage that such a cute listener could facilitate. Tell me that you would not be compelled to spill your guts.

    The DOD clearly has all their ducks in a row.

    I was a bit old at the time they came out, but one of my friends got one for some reason, and we got it to swear and react to cuss words. That was pretty cool.

    HAHA I had one of these critters about 98 maybe for Christmas. i could go forever without seeing one of these thingys again. Oh yeah. My granddad wanted to see it and it almost put him in the hospital. He has a pacemaker and the magnetic stuff in messed him up for days. Did teach it to talk about some stuff tho...!
