I wanted one of these so that between shows and in parades, I can hide out and run the little critter around crowds of kids. I know, I'm sick like that, but it just sounded like fun. I also plan to run the little guy around through crowds in the diesel shop at the museum just to mess with people (and chase the museum shop cat "Hotbox" with it).
This sounds like the best gift i have heard of this year. I think my dad would really like one of these. I might have to plan something for next year.
