How to take ugly to the next level?
HaRuMaN:
*sigh* I thought this was going to be a thread about Tommy... :blah:
Spaz Monkey:
Glue macaroni and/or glitter it and/or Bedazzle it!!

Heh,
well I bought the Homer Hula doll and the sound activated cats came back into stock, so I ordered one of them as well. I've already cut out a thick piece of plexi to enlarge and re-enforce the bottom (the current one bends too much so the hulk keeps breaking off), and I also ordered the light wire which should come any day. I've already gotten the homer doll, so once the cat arrives I'll try to take it apart and wire the sound activation to homer. My main concern is that if you push homers talking button while he's mid sentence, he immediately starts saying something else, so if I connect the sound activated thing, he'll keep giving sentence fragments until the room gets quiet....I guess if I want it to be annoying, then that could be a good thing.

Well unfortunately it looks like I was right about the sentence fragments. I took homer and the cat apart, and after a little bit of soldering and some wiring I got them working together. It looks like I may have tapped into the wrong spot on the cat since homer seems to be getting the pulsing power that made the cats head jump up and down, so I'm going to mess with it a bit more and see if I can get it to work.
Here's a video of what homer down now when I make a sound (you can hear my fingers snap to make it go)

Make it work? What are you thinking, that's so much better than a successful Frankentoy. If annoying was the goal, a stuttering hula homer is tough to beat.
