RINGBO Ridable Robot For Kids Reminds Me How Much My Childhood Sucked, Was Bad
RINGBO is a robotic transportation device for children that hate walking. It was designed for kids aged 2-3 so they can run over the cat's tail. The unit has a 66-pound weight limit and a 6-8 hour charge yields about one hour of drive time. It also looks like a miniature Hoveround. Say, have I ever told you about how I always wanted one of those little motorized Jeeps when I was a kid but my parents never got me one? True story. My friend had one though, except he would never let me drive it. Or even ride in it for that matter. What he would let me do is lie in the sandbox while he backed over me. Best friends forever!
A commercial video of the thing, which features an awesome song that'll get stuck in your head and you'll sing all day long, after the jump (lyrics included).
NOTE: The lyrics start at 0:45. You MUST memorize them if you want our friendship to last.
We are down we're crazy fools
Every day at school
Teachers here, teachers there
Books and books they're everywhere!
Come on boys we need to dance
We have got a good chance
Lay your problems on the floor
Clap your hands and sing once more!
Everybody let's go to the game
We can dance there
Dance and eat ice cream!
Everybody dancing all night long
Try to do it
Sing a happy song!
Music dancing in the night
We can get so high
For no reason, no don't stop
Now's the time to take it to the top
It's a sweet and happy song
Sing all night long
Lay your problems on the floor
Clap your hands and sing once more
Everybody let's go to the game
We can dance there
Dance and eat an ice cream!
Everybody dancing all night long
Try to do it
Sing a happy song!
Time to dance it's time to sing
Sing a happy song (laugh)
A happy song!
Yo yo yo!
Let's go!
Let's go boys!
Come with me and sing!
(A happy song)

When I was a kid there were no FunSlides, we rode down the basement stairs on a baking sheet. And, goddammit, we hit the wall at the bottom and loved it. Product Site Thanks to Patrick, who glides across berber and shag with equal dexterity. Ladies?... / Continue →

I was never allowed to have a Power Wheels growing up because my parents were too afraid I'd back over my own head, but that's neither here not there, it's just one of the reasons I have parent issues. Anyway, some lucky tyke's father went and modded his to look like a Warthog... / Continue →
