Radio controlled yodeling and hopping lederhosen
(BaronBob)

Every now and then, a piece of beer memorabilia comes to my attention that is so pointless and utterly without merit, that to ignore it would be a crime against all that is good and decent in this world.

This radio-controlled lederhosen, available from Baron Bob (who is starting to frighten me just a little), is one such item.

If you believe that the lack of a small plastic pair of lederhosen that hops around making a yodeling noise is holding you back from fulfilling your life's potential, then by all means go ahead and add this to your collection of crud, which I am sure is impressive. The rest of us will stay on the sane side of the street, pointing and laughing.

That is not to say that this item is not without its uses. If you have ever been involved in the horrific tradition that is the "Yankee Swap", then the plastic lederhosen can make a useful spoiler item. By displaying it prominently in the back window of your car, then you send the message to thieves that you have nothing worth stealing.

In a pinch, it's possible that the remote control (which is shaped like a knockwurst) (Looks more like a 1970s dildo to me -- Ed.) could be used to plug leaks. It may also be that the yodeling noise is more annoying to certain rodents than it is to humans.
