Be honest, do you really need to put up any other Christmas decorations besides this USB-powered, drum playin' Santa
Claus which regales you with Jingle Bells, Joy to the World, The First Noel, and Silent Night? Didn't think so.

Whatever happened to the good old fashioned wall socket?
with a wall socket you can't impress chicks on the subway or in a coffeeshop by simply plugging your USB Santa into your laptop. must i really point out this obvious fact?
and the fact that it makes ACTUAL annoying sounds in addition to just looking like a hip bongo drummin' USB Santa makes it even better.
last years USB Christmas Trees just made twinkling lights. big deal.
oh yeah. park benches. i forgot park benches. you can use it there too. libraries also. well... until they kick you out.
Who else read "USB powered SATAN" after scrolling down and seeing the top of Santa's red hat, thinking it was devil horns?
Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?
If you like this kind of oddball stuff, Cyberguys (http://www.cyberguys.com/) seems to specialize in it. I have a couple of entries in my blog (http://mg.to/) with some of my favorites from their catalog. (I have no connection with Cyberguys; I just like their sense of humor.)
