Tentacle arms for squishy fun

Cory Doctorow at 10:11 pm Thu, Jan 17, 2008

The Gaiastore's polyester tentacle arm slips neatly over your boring old human arm, giving you hentaicred to burn. Or squish. At fifteen bucks each, I think you could get four of 'em and go quadtentacular. Link (via Wonderland)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Now I have Jonathan Coulton lyrics running through my head again.
“My bodyâ€™s strong, but my will is weak
I got pretty nice arms, but I hate my beak…And I crush everything…”

I *definitely* need several of these…

I got one of these a while back at Fanime last year. They’re great for chasing random people with. I ran after a friend of mine who was wearing a lolita-esque dress wearing it.

Unusual Suspect: Problem is that it would be old news since they came out a while back. Besides, 4chan in general hates Gaia and vice-versa.

Talk about taping into the Zeitgist; #8, that was the first thing I thought of, and #11, I’m listening to that song right now.

I’d like to know if you just stuff your arm in, or if there’s some kind of attachment. Perhaps a strap you curl your hand around?

I want to make one with a shoulder strap (so it’s flat on top) and a rod in the tip so you can twitch the end around…
