strange questions

I need to know what a particular toy is called. It's the balloony tube thing that is filled with goo, and when you hold it, it slips through your hand in a vaguely x-rated kind of way. I'd like a link to some kind of web source for verification.

Thanks!

Oh...and for those who wanted to know *why* I needed to know this. I'm crazy. Here's proof:

I know the exact thing you mean...but I don't know what they are called either. Good luck!

I don't think they really have a particular name...sorta like hair ties, doohickys, thingys

Here they are called squeeze water snakes, water tubes:

I loved those things when I was a kid, I used to get them from the special olympics.

(I put in google search "slippery toy tube" got some interesting sites too!)

OK. This has officially annoyed me. The rough topological shape you're describing is a torus, and I know more or less what you're talking about, as well. I've asked all of the chat channels I typically hang out on and googled on pretty much every variation of "toroid water toy" I could find. I'm coming up with nothing here. Bah. I fail you. I'm sorry; my google-fu was weak this time.

The pancreas of your hated enemy. With the proper ritual markings and a light garnish you too can harness the power of said pancreas.

Amber is correct. They're called a variety of different things, but the most common name is Water Snake. Toysmith, probably their largest manufacturer, calls them water snakes on their website, and in this case I'd consider them the authority:

Game store employees, FTW.

I've always heard them called Water Snakes, as noted above.

You and Amber are my heroes. Not big poopy failures like the kneidzw. Thanks!

Not so wiki now, are you? ;>

[teleidoplex]

Yeah, I got all sorts of kinky google hits no matter what I tried (and an interesting urban dictionary entry for wet-willy). Thanks for the water snake thing.

I feel the same way...my GooFu failed me!!

[squishymeister.livejournal.com]

*thwap*

I throw the fish, and it comes back to me!

[kniedzw.livejournal.com]

Nah. I kinda need some.

[kniedzw.livejournal.com]

No. I can't say I did. You're clearly the better man.
