Radio Shack Executive Stress Thingy

DSCF8653.JPG6 sounds, no waiting. It's got a Frank Zapper. It's the title of a Bob Wier solo song. It's got a rap verse from Mista Tung Twista. It's got a video game title and a laser tag noise. Finally, it's also a blast. As noise makers go, it's the cheesiest. Ahhh, but I remember how every executive in every fast food restaurant, retail hell hole or phone soliciting office that I ever interviewed in, had a lack of this device or the title of executive.

DSCF8654.JPGIt's a wonder that this survived. I'm sure 90% of these fine devices ended with corroded batteries in landfills near you. Sorta echos Radio Shack's current reality eh? Eh? EHHHHH?

DSCF8655.JPGLook at those FAT fingers pushing the fun button to make the genuine RED LED light while farting out a bit of fart fart fart, only digital, classy, Frank Zapper. I must have got it for a Christmas gift because, even though I like this sort of crap, I'd never buy this sort of crap. Maybe it came free as a giveaway with a coupon from the newspaper. You know, like batteries and flash lights?

DSCF8656.JPGActually, this got use when I got bands. I used this to make a song as you could push the buttons in a certain way to create a boop-boop-beep-beep rhythm. When my friend Bill and I formed the band "Spudlok", this was placed in the studio bag of percussion like cowbells and triangles and other analog stuff.  Then it made it's way into my junk collection where it happily belongs. I love the fake "wooden" sides.

Oh yeah, I guess I'm going to violate the prime directive again. I could have done a demo video or demo sounds or something interactive and cool, but I didn't. However, I had to show what this baby could do, so rather than searching the interwebs for it, I'll include this minimal YEWTOOB link. We do it all for you, ROD.  Bombs away!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RZrtF6OF88
