Robot Arms!

The best thing about our new, giant poster tubes is not that we can now fit a mug, a t-shirt, and a poster into one cylindrical shipment, but that the tubes are wide enough for us to play robot arms.

That is right! At 4" in diameter (as opposed to our old tubes' measly 3"), these poster tubes can accommodate an adult human arm! This really changes things here at the office. We haven't tried it yet, but we'll let you know how our game of robot legs works out.

I have secured an interview with one of these tubes, so stay tuned for the upcoming daily Q&A. It is bound to be controversial.

And when you receive your giant poster tube in the mail, stick your arm in it! Snap a picture and email to us! We're starting a new series: "Robot arms from around the world."

Lindsey,

Wow! You actually get paid for thinking this stuff up. Just want you to know that I am not all that embarrassed.

Love,
Mom

Please process my order for 40 cardboard arm tubes as quickly as possible. See, I have a lot of goofy friends, too, and the opportunities for embarrassing my children, alone, would make having to pay premium prices utterly reasonable!

You guys are sooooo warped!

We all know what this means. After inducting the stick into the Toy Hall of Fame this year and the cardboard box some years ago, one of the next toys will have to be the cardboard tube, which can also be a cast, a cat hat (cats are curious, silly things), or a head bonker.

Why not buy the merchandise and get the free tube with it?
And that is utterly embarrassing putting on paper tubes on your arms?!? why would you call them robot arms anyways?

I concur with Cris ... I tried Robot Arms here at work, and everyone looked at me funny, including my boss.

Someone needs to include the robot arms in their NaNo novel. On another note, this interview requires video evidence.

I WANNA WORK THERE!!!

I never get to play robot arms at work... *pout* Then again, if I tried, the students would probably break all my poster tubes and ruin all the fun.

*sigh*

Sounds like my "handvelopes" that I put on at work when I'm bored. They are the 6x9 padded envelopes, slip nice and easy over the hands. Hours of entertainment.
