Question...

from left field...

February 7, 2008 3:07:22 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
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...

You can get one at Spencers in just about every mall in the US.
