Toy-A-Week #19: I’ve Got Big Balls!

With all due respect to AC/DC, I think mine might even be the biggest balls of them all! I think this video title/joke might actually be a recycle from many years ago, but after a few hundred videos and almost 10 years of doing this, you can’t expect me to be creative all of the time. Sorry that this series has been turning into more of a “toy ever two weeks” lately. I’ve been searching for a new job, and I spent the past week cramming for an interview, and then Friday getting grilled by a prospective employer. My feelings are that it went well though, so maybe I’ll find myself back in a job with a more regular paycheck than what I’ve been doing lately (contract coding/web dev work), and able to invest in more interesting inflatable things… to pop, of course! 🙂

I’ve gotten a few pretty random requests lately for what to pop next, with no two people asking for any one toy. So, I decided I’d pick between the things that were requested, and ended up popping a big Intex beachball, partly because I haven’t done anything like that in a while. I enjoyed myself a lot, and I couldn’t believe just how big the beachball got before it popped! I also forgot how much fun it is to “play” with big beach balls. I think the video makes it obvious… 🙂 I wore one of my sets of Fox Racing MX gear, because somebody had commented recently that they’d like to see it again, and I think it looks hot. As usual, hope you all enjoy!

Somebody also commented recently that they didn't know exactly what I had left in my Toy-A-Week popping pile, so here's a shot of what's still to come. Feel free to comment and let me know what you'd like to see get popped next time!

Lastly, because I've had a few people ask if they could get the remains of my popped toys, I've setup a page with info on on how to do that. It's first-come, first served, and you will pay actual shipping cost to your address. If you don't see it listed on the page, I either don't have the toy any more, or ArmoredLooner has claimed it for his own collection. You can find the page here, or by clicking the "Used/Abused Toys" link at the top of the page.
