Irriguanna

This is the time of year in the Northern Hemisphere when gardens need to be frequently watered, especially lawns it seems. (I know very little about irrigation matters) This is either carried out manually or via some sort of static sprinkling apparatus, both being equally tiresome methods.

Irriguanna solves the problem but in an efficient and entertaining manner. The device itself takes the form of small lizard-like figure having four legs and a head. The hose plugs into a stub connection where the lizard would otherwise have a tail.

When water from the hose enters the lizard's body, its pressure is used to power a complex system of hydraulic valves linked to pistons within the limbs and body. These cause the lizard to execute a variety of movements.

Mechanical dials on the belly of Irriguanna's body enable various movements to be preset, including of course one labelled "barbiturate mode". This the one that sends Irriguanna into a total spasm of leaping and slithering all over the lawn, periodically resting to accumulate pressure and deliver jets of water via its snapping mouth.

When not in use, Irriguanna can be left poking out between the foliage to deter unwelcome garden guests.
