Question...

from left field...

Thursday, February 7, 2008 by RPGFX | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

ok, this question is a little off the wall, but those little structures with the steel bearings in a line attached to strings, and the first and last balls swing back and forth, what is that thing called? And does anyone know a website where I can buy one?

I've been to every Walmart, Target, Meijer, Office Depot, Kohl's, and any other store you can name within a 20 mile radius of my house and haven't found one...

Thanks everyone for telling me what it's called...
