Well, I did it! I finally started my Christmas shopping. Oh, I still have a long ways to go, but I’m feeling good about this purchase. A coworker received one of these as a gag-gift from our CEO, and the minute I saw it in action, I knew I’d be purchasing several of them as gifts myself.
It’s a slingshot monkey! And when he flies across a room, he screeches in the most annoying way.
And just because I’m an adult doesn’t mean I’m done torturing my siblings. My tactics are just a little different than they were in my younger days. Now, I can antagonize my brothers and sister through their children.
Yep. Six young nephews and one young niece will each be receiving a flying, screeching monkey for Christmas this year. And if there are any protests from the moms and dads, I’ll just remind them of all of the years my kids received gifts such as the book about farting, and the games about nose picking and toilet flushing.
I suppose I should really get on with the serious shopping, but I wanted to make sure I got the really important stuff taken care of first 
I bought that SAME flying monkey for Tony and the dog a couple Christmases ago. The both LOVE it! And now he’s showing the baby how it works.
I love the flying monkeys!!!! Where did you find them?
Found them online…and CHEAP… http://www.officeplayground.com/Slingshot-Flying-Monkey-P225.aspx
Love it!
Wonder if they are available over here!
I have already bought my boys toy guns that fire foam bullets…
Those are fun. I got my son a screaming monkey slignshot two years ago. Totally fun and useless toy (unless you count annoying your friends and coworkers as fun). If you ever wanted your own sonic screwdriver or bacon wallet or even a cube trebuchet, try thinkgeek.com for some really interesting/cool/off beat gifts.
I love it! and I think I want one.
I want one too! I can torment my own kids with it.
There is a slot machine with flying monkeys that explode on the screen when you get the bonus and change into wild cards. When that happens(rarely) it’s Big Time Banana$1
I so need one of those or maybe a dozen for the office. Hmmm…..
Ripple On!!!
Ah ha! I see you already answered the question I had about where to get one of these monkeys! I’ll have to check that out as I think it would be a great gift for a special grandson on my gift list. Good for a 13-year-old, agreed?
I love it! I do the same thing! I send noisy firetrucks and things that make all kinds of racket! What’s wrong with fart toys? Lol
I AM getting a few of those!
That is hilarious. I didn’t even know about them, but it sounds like you’re getting even this year.
I haven’t even started my shopping yet. Sigh.
Love it. Revenge at Christmas time. Could anything be better??
Oh my god… I must have one.
> my kids received gifts such as the book about farting, and the games about nose picking > and toilet flushing.
I KNEW that growing up overseas deprived me of something. Now I know what, because I never received any of those presents. But, a flying monkey woulda been cool….First I’ve heard of it.
Very cool. I don’t think I need to arm the kids with anything more after being blasted with dart guns all evening long.
Oh I love it! LOVE it! And I *must* get my hands on one of those a slingshot monkey’s!
Oh, no! Not the Flying Monkeys! Brings back the one movie element that really scared the heck out of me when I was younger (and older.)
You have found the perfect gift! And I wish I had a dozen or so to give to various nieces and nephews so I, too, could annoy my sisters and in-laws!
Lol I was just thinking to myself as I was reading this that Mike would love one of those. They are always throwing things at each other at work.
My sister is a total “poop” about noise making toys for her kids. She doesn’t want them to have any and she takes the noise maker out whenever they get something and she’s able.
She would just dismantle it, but I’m sorely tempted to send one of these to each of my nieces. >:)
