(no subject)

So I heard this commercial for the wild animal park on the radio today, and it reminded me of those porcupine pen/pencil holders that were everywhere in the mid-eighties or so. I hadn't thought of them in ages. But I can't find then online anywhere. Not new, not on eBay, not on toy collector sites (though i haven't thoroughly searched those, since I don't know what the good ones are). One photo of someone's desk in Japan, and a mention that might or might not be to the same thing on a troll collector's page. This is weird.
