WEIRD OLD PUSH-DOWN TOYS

I like these things. I guess they came from gumball machines. They seem 60s-ish if I had to guess. They have springs inside so you can compress them. When compressed, little smart-aleck messages pop out of their heads.
"NEVER"
"DOWN WITH EVERYTHING"
The last guy just says the same thing as the 1st guy.

    They look vaguely diseased somehow - like victims of some flesh-rotting fungus. The one on the far right appears to be drooling badly. In other words, I want one. -- Mykal
