I'm fun, but crappy!
As Jim pointed out in his comments on my blog about Vaughan Mills, I did leave out some detail.
I drove all the way up there to look for this:
That bizarre thing is a speakerphone. Well, it makes any phone into a speakerphone. Its chrome lips move synchronized to the voice of the person you're talking to. We were recently at another mall and discovered this discontinued product for sale for a whopping $4.88. Jim, asking "is that seriously $4.88?!" ended up purchasing the last one in the store. Later on, we hooked it up to a set of headphones and an iPod and it lip synched an amazing (and possibly funniest ever) rendition of Hot in Herre.
Anyway, after seeing that I decided that for $4.88, it was worth seeking out more of these things. Struck out at one mall, but it was suggested that I try Vaughan Mills. The store up there had 2 of them, so now I have 2 of them.
BTW: There is a funny write-up of the lip talkers at Gizmodo.

Gotta see that thing in action. It's funny to look at just in the picture -- It must be hysterical in person.
Have a good day! (I'm not buying the sofa either!)

Now THAT'S what I call a blog entry. Having attended the Lips inauguration ceremony, I can vouch for the fact they sing a mean version of “Hot in Here”. It’s almost like they were designed for expressly that purpose. It's Lipsquisite.
