Have you heard that some cordless phones will auto dial 911 when the batteries run down? Who in the world decided to design that into the coding???

I'm all to familiar with that fading, out of tune sound. If you listen closely you'll hear, "You spent $5.00 for this toy. Now you'll spend $7 replacing the batteries! Ha, ha, ha, ha!"

there was a noise toy that would go off in the middle of the night without any provocation...I'm a light sleeper and it would wake me up every time. Calvin used to have a playpen that was the catch-all for a couple years of toys and it would invariably be buried somewhere in there. I remember fishing around at 3pm trying to find satan so I could smack it and try and make it stop.

this is Abby Road confirmation.

ps: this also confirms the thought that the Devil's best scam is convincing people that he doesn't exist.

Sorry Ron,

My kids got a Wiggles guitar. The damn thing sounds like it's cranked up to 11 but it has no volume control. ONLY Satan could have contrived such a sadistic toy. Next time my kids aren't looking I'm doin a Hendrix on it. Just gotta find the lighter fluid.

Take it apart and wire a resistor inline with the speaker wire. Instant volume control....:D

The Wiggles guitar is bad ...

My Mom gave my kids this 'Dora the Explorer' talking toy that teaches colors in both English and Spanish ... the voice is soooo damn annoying and loud. We keep praying for the batteries to die, but the devil keeps that thing going. It might need to have an unfortunate accident ...

We also had this dancing Spongebob toy ... I swear, louder than a neighbors stereo. No matter how much tape you placed over the speaker (which was on the bottom) you could still hear it in any room of the house. Thankfully Spongebob danced his last jig in less than a weeks time.

Our kids toybox is alway eminating some weird toy 'death' sounds ... the wife and I just smile now and know all will soon be better.

put the cat in a pillow case with only his head sticking out.

Are you kidding?

I pull the batteries out even before the kid sees the toy.

Those things drive me nuts.

Give the kid some Legos, or blocks, or lincoln logs, or the ultimate: an erector set!

Yes, I have two boys.

We now put tape over the speaker holes of all the toys. If the wiggles sing a long microphone didn't have tape on it I would bury it in the yard. I don't know about you guys but the WORST part for me with ALL toys is actually trying to get the toy off of the cardboard holding it in it's box. Not sure when the manufacturers decided that the toys needed to be attached with wire that could be used to tie steel coils down on a semi.

confirmed again that the Devil's scam is operational by leading his subject in another direction.

HOOT! OR...could it be known as "parent's revenge"? Meaning that loving grandparents buy toddlers these toys in order to drive their own kids NUTZO with the noise? I'll never have a grandchild, but would I punish my daughter in this way if I could?
Muahahahah!

BTW, where's Leland? He hasn't posted here for a spell...

Max has about a dozen RC cars/trucks/boats that unless they are switched off will activate randomly. (Due to the air traffic from DFW airport?)

Emmy has the Dora doll and also a baby doll that will randomly giggle, cry and coo like a neonate - many times it is mistaken for her. Real strange and life like.

She also has a saxaphone toy that when the cells go low it puts out musings that rival Judas Preist!
