Chaplin-esque

One of the toys Brian got for Christmas was this nifty little gadget that makes music any time the floor vibrates. The faster you move, the faster the music. It's supposed to get kids up and dancing and experimenting with music.

As of yet, Nora and I have had more fun with it than the kids...

Anyway, it's been sitting in the dining room all day. On, all day. And every time someone passes through the dining room music plays. And every time I go by it an image of a silent movie actor scurrying around doing whatever necessary to advance the plot of the movie goes through my head. The fact that at the moment it's set on a calliope sounding tune doesn't help.

Do do dodo doit do do dodo doit.
