Novelty Draft - better than you thought it would be (1 Viewer)

[Psychopav]

I can't believe no one took Wooly Bully.

I'll be back with my last pick. I know, you can hardly wait.

 

[Mister CIA]

If I had one more frozen novelty pick, it would have to be homemade ice cream.

I considered drafting Ted Williams' head for frozen novelty

Ooh good one. Hadn’t thought of that.

 

[Don Quixote]

I was thinking Keerock for novelty frozen (the caveman lawyer, not the FBG poster).

A few I was waiting for:

• Pick Up Sticks
• Jacks
• Puttin on the Ritz (song)
• Heelies (kids shoes with a wheel in the heel)
• Sit n Spin
• Jelly Bracelets
• Electric Football (shaker table style)
• Klondike Bar - only because of the "what would you do for a Klondike Bar"

I could probably go on....

Steal of the Draft still sitting out there.

Did you ever tell us what your SOD pick was, and whether it ended up getting picked?

No, I had two. Both qualify in my opinion, and maybe one of them got picked and I didn't notice, but I had:

1. Harlem Globetrotters

2. Shake Weight

Globetrotters is a great one. What else has been around almost 100 years and could still rightly be considered a novelty? Well maybe next year someone will pick them...

 

[krista4]

1. Harlem Globetrotters

2. Shake Weight

Globetrotters are a great pick. I've never even heard of "shake weight."

Mr. krista suggested Garbage Pail Kids at the same time he mentioned wacky packs, and I took the latter instead. I had Jarts on my mental list but then forgot about them!

Shake weight infomercial is hilarious

8.ee - Whee-Lo (aka Gyro-Wheel) - Novelty Toy

The Whee-Lo was introduced in 1953 as kind of a hybrid of a yo-yo and a spinning top. It consists of two basic parts: a curved metal track and a plastic wheel with a magnetized axle. When tilted, the wheel rotates along the track but because of the magnets it is able to ride on both the top and bottom. Later models added a plastic slider at the base of the track that could control velocity of the wheel.

I was fascinated by the thing when I was a kid. You could get the wheel to run for a long time on its own momentum before gravity and friction spoiled the fun. I see they're still in production so I'm considering buying one for Christmas so there's a toy under the tree.

Santa brought one of these for the family yesterday. We weren't very good this year because it was the only toy any of us got.

The Whee-Lo was a huge hit and got a lot of use yesterday. There's something calming about how the wheel glides silently along its track. My daughter is thinking about getting another one for her office.

For some reason that whee-lo reminds me of the bobbing bird in front of the water.

it seemed like all families were required to have one of these when I was growing up and yeah, it can be pretty soothing

especially compared to one of these ...

Funny - my daughter “won” a magic 8-ball in our extended family white elephant exchange. I was so proud.
