Practice your ventriloquism with talking animals pen

You know we’re approaching Christmas when the silly gift ideas start appearing. Not that there’s anything particularly Christmassy about these ventriloquist pens, but be honest — when else are you likely to buy (or be given) something like this.

Right, so what is it?

Forget dictaphones and other recording devices. Nothing says “I’m a geek making it in the business world” more than turning up with one of these pens, recording memos on it, and then pretending you’re an ace ventriloquist by playing it back, at which point the creature on the end of the pen moves its mouth in sync with the audio.

Honestly, you’re definitely going to be the office fun guy with this. Colleagues will be itching to spend time with you just so they can see your hilarious act one more time.

$12.99 is a small price to pay for such amusement. Heck, why not get all four — frog, dinosaur, parrot, dolphin.
