Move em on (Head em up) Rawhide!

For when you really want to karaoke with a severed deer's head, but just don't know where to start. Do you have a cousin, grandparent, or spouse who enjoys really large, high-concept, expensive gag gifts? Look no further. Buck the Singing Trophy is the latest product from Gemmy industries, whose previous culture-changing invention was Big Mouth Billy Bass. It's already sold out at Wal-Mart and most online stores, so you'll either have to wait until the new year or head to Ebay to get your crate of Pepsi Blue. And really, has Pepsi Blue ever tasted so strange (WMV)?

As well as bursting out into "Sweet Home Alabama' and other classics with his own witty introduction, Buck will say whatever you want him to. Just speak into the mike, and your words come out of his mouth. Even better, he also works via motion sensor, watch that door-to-door salesman or your party guests jump out of their skins as Buck smoothes them up with another classic crooner. Buck's realistic appearance, with fur and even a few stray hairs in the right places, is made even spookier by his mouth, head and ears all moving as he talks or sings. Infact he's better than the real thing, lets face it, a talking deer is much better than a dead one!

The first time I saw this I was really perturbed, but then I was reminded of the infernal mount from EvilDead and had a good laugh. I'd love to see it hacked and replicated, that might make a great Halloween decoration. For bonus points, bring it back into Wal-Mart and replace the standing model.

I'm undecided as to whether this FPP brings more shame on you or on your family.

I work for a company that bought a huge amount of those singing fish just seconds before they became completely unsellable, never mind that they had absolutely nothing to do with any of our usual product lines. People still joke about it today (and I imagine, in the corner of one of our warehouses, there's still a crate or two).

This fpp brings no shame to anyone - it only brings joy. Joy into the hearts of all.

HOly shit, wolfdog. My favorite bar has one of the talking deer heads - the owner got it as a wedding present. The deer is mounted behind the stage, so when a band sucks, the owner will make the deer sway and yap its mouth to the song. Creepy.

There's a chain restaurant called Bugaboo Creek -- not sure if all their locations have this, but the one in Warwick, RI has a variety of singing animal heads. The moose scared the bejeezus out of me because I was the only person around when it started up. It was cute at first, until it started insisting that I buy dessert. I still want a Billy Bass that croaks out something about joining the Esoteric Order of Dagon before it seizes up and starts flopping around..

They've got a few of these at both K-Marts near my house. They're awesome! Except for the price. Not so awesome.

Yet another reason we need more oil: to make entertaining anthropomorphic plastic replicas of nature as we destroy it in our quest for more oil. Can it say, "I ate my own ass"?

We have a stag's head. Doesn't dance or anything, but we have him up in the living room. Slightly odd of place in a three-bed South Manchester red brick semi, but we hope he's suitably post-modernist and hip.
