One of them huge clocks which they have for tourists. It has a door that opens on the hour and quarter hour and a mechanical figure/s come out as does stuff.
On the the quarter hours a little Khrushchev comes out and bangs a shoe on a table.
On the half hour a miniature journalist throws shoes
at George Bush..that kind of thing

This all fits in a cell-phone? |
|
| |
Yes, it's amazing what companies can do these days. |

I hadn't actually seen a market for 5 foot x 5 foot mobile phones, but now you mention it, it's obvious... |
|
| |
OK then - a little croissant will come out, too! + |
|
| |
Presumably, if it -does- actually fit into a mobile telephone, one would have to peer very closely to see the details? |

Is that what they mean by peer pressure? |

And at the end of the day it knocks down the statue
of Saddam and beats it around the head with shoes? |
|
| |
It can, but that's a special order, don't forget to tick that box on the order form. |

I'm thinking on the hour a small Dorothy comes out in red shoes and says "there's no place like home.." |
|
| |
And at 16:03:37 a pair of little boots come out.. |
|
| |
What happens at 4:20 in the afteroon? |
|
| |
Obama comes out and puffs a joint? |
|
| |
//What happens at 4:20 in the afteroon |
|
| |
Well, at 24:01:41 the little boots get splattered with something red and are dragged offstage...to be replaced by a small Claudius.. |
|
| |
...and has a small samizdat shredder/re-education camp vouchers dispenser to capitalise (irony) on the current shredder movement on hb. |
|
| |
I met a man who had no shoes, so I watched while he
waited to steal a pair from the statue. |

The beginning of 'not much else for the rest of the day',
typically. |
|
| |
At about 6pm on a Sunday, small figures come out and play toss the horse-shoes, later joined by a small Hercules who does the same, but with the horse still attached.. |
|
| |
At which point an equally small little man adjudicator comes out, pointing out it's not fair on the horse and also Hercules gets to throw four shoes at the same time. |
|
| |
Hercules replies "You cannot be serious!" and storms off MacEnroe stylee |
