Goliathon 83 Infinity Beam Projector

I was just over at Gizmodo when I came across a link to WetaNZ and their replica Rayguns. So I popped across and came across this.

Goliathon 83 Infinity Beam Projector

Well it was the name that caught my eye initially, but then reading the product description it I came across this added benefit.

Aim that in the wrong direction and you won't be able to sit down for months.

I need to come across an EchoLocator.
Thanks for pointing out the gadget though.

B- b- but where are the spangles? They promised me spangles and I can't see even one! *sobs*

What's the point of having a Goliathon on your chiffonier if there aren't any spangles?


(I wonder which 7/9ths of an African elephant it dissolves? Does the elephant get to choose?)

If the elephant is charging at you, it is probably the front 7/9ths, if it is runnaway fromyou probably the rear 7/9ths and if is dropping out of a tree onto you the bot..... lower 7/9ths. sorry nearly wrote something rude then.


Get me a Goliathon or FMOM and I will give you two whole packets, hardly licked. They may be a bit fluffy, 'cos they stopped making them over 10 years ago, but that just adds to the flavour dontcha think?

Na. They'd be soggy by now. I think it's goliathonish for sequins.

Cheers for the offer, but I think I need to corner the market in goliathons myself. After all, who could resist an undulating infinity beam?

Weta are going to put these guns on sale next year.

Looking at some of their prices, I think that they will still fall into the cartegory of unattainable.

Our cat does not like the Airzooka, so I have ordered a couple of mini airzookas

Mini Airzookas? What's the fun of that!? Giant garbage can-sized Airzookas are the way to go!

m9ini airzookas are pocketable, so she does not see the approach of an attack. She now recognizes a full size airzooka and runs away before the fun can start.

I give it about ten minutes before she runs away whenever she sees you approaching with anything mini-airzooka sized in your hand, unless she's unusually dumb for a feline.

Yep, I agree with Martin - cats hate even being blown on, so doing it with guns is pure sadism.








Nicky would approve.
