the latest advance from Hell Labs

a toy representing the Simpsons Halloween Special scene in which Homer is forced to eat countless donuts in Hell Labs' Ironic Punishment Division

We get some really excellent toys in the office. It’s almost entirely Nicco’s fault (although I’ve been lobbying to get one of these ever since April told me they can be run from Linux).

This one’s probably my favorite so far. Unfortunately the cranking mechanism isn’t timed quite right, and the donuts usually end up sliding off Homer’s mouth instead of down his gullet and into the collection tray. It’s still pretty great, though.

    I’m a little disappointed there’s no video of Homer downin’ donuts, but that still looks like a great toy. Any word on whether those USB missles can be fitted with tactical warheads? I ask hypothetically, of course.

    if by “tactical warheads” you mean “chewed pieces of gum”, then yes, I think this might be an appropriate ordnance delivery vector.
    I’m just disappointed that they’re spring-loaded. I was hoping for a satisfying FWOOSH of compressed air as the missiles went flying.
