Isn't it? I would love to try this, although it has been tried on both east and west coasts in the U.S, and nothing. It seems it was mostly a slight problem of the first person who finds the oobi, keeps hir (completely unaware of the assigned gender/s of oobies).
I can faintly recall the advertisment for this Parker Brothers toy. Although I would have to have been very young. Such a lovely idea it is rather disenchanting when one thinks of the dismal conclusion the test markets ended up in. It says so much about humanity. It reminds me of the Great Wandering Notebook Disappearance.
It also reminds me of a Native North American dude who gave me a small, oblong, nearly polished, reddish-brown rock, that he said was from the east coast. He told me it likes to travel so, I carried it around with me from coast to coast for about five years.
Oobi is making me all nostalgic. *sniffle* |
