We have a chair rigged on a cart that is controlled by a hoverboard. So she drives and steers with her feet!

She controls the up and down motion of the eyes with her hands!

I managed to get a video up!!

a short video of it here

edit

If you like this, check out some of our previous year’s costumes!!

When she's rolling do the eyes go googly? Has to be authentic.

Edit: nvm, saw your answer below. ;)

I am shocked and delighted with your costumes! Just stellar!

Where do they live during the off season?

They all unfortunately had to get destroyed and tossed.

The older ones we lived in a small apartment and had no place to store them.

We now have a house with PLENTY of space. So we’ll at least hold onto this one for a while.

Wow… HUGE wooosh for me. I didn’t notice that!

I appreciate you pointing it out! I’m the phony!

We did get a rope for it for the front, but decided not to put it on. It would have looked weird being bunched up in front or being dragged.

Fisher price did a re-release of these a while back so we got one for my nephew. He had no idea what it was. Got super upset with us when we told him it was a phone cause he thought we were fucking with him.

I had to shorten them cause it simply wasn’t working with the hyperlink for some reason. All three of em!

Odd, I've never had issues with link length. I wonder if that's a new.reddit problem or something with the app.

That actually makes me realize that Reddit have seemingly hidden the shortlinks these days. On old.reddit they are right at the top of the sidebar on every post. However I don't see them at all on new.reddit ("share>copy link" just gives the full link) and I'm not sure what the deal is with mobile.

Anyway, once you know they exist they are quite easy to create at least since they're just redd.it/ + the 6 character code from the URL.

That’s awesome haha. I have an early 1950s rotary phone (WE 5302) in my house and anyone younger than about 20 has serious trouble figuring out how to dial it haha. Guess none of them had one of these as a kid

I have mine hooked up to a modern IP phone switch via an analog station card installed in the switch. It actually natively supports converting the pulse dial signal into a modern SIP trunk (VoIP service) which means I can have the best of both worlds, no expensive monthly landline fees and can still use my nice old phone. It’s great.

It's like building beautiful sandcastles at the beach. Everyone is so amazed, everyone is dazed by his magical, and when the special day is over, they are gone, but everyone still remembers ...
