Birthday present ideas for 4yr old boy?

Sorry to disappoint you mate, but I have to admit that on a forum like this I tend to think that the higher a person's post-count, the more of a saddo they are!

So by that virtue every post you make, you're getting more of a loser? Hard to see why you ever joined.

Fisher Price Corn Popper (from a parent's website)

This perpetual noise machine has been delighting children and annoying parents since 1957! It is single handedly responsible for the end to the baby boom some seven years after its introduction.

For those unfamiliar with the toy, it can best be described as a walking fireworks show, minus the pretty lights. As your child pushes the toy, little hard plastic balls POP inside a plastic dome which is seemingly made of some special science-fiction type of sound amplification system.

I’m not sure what the Corn Popper is intended to be, as the balls inside the plastic dome are colorful and look nothing at all like popcorn. Nor do they taste like it – don’t ask. Judging from my son’s use of the toy, he thinks it’s a vacuum cleaner.

Since children LOVE noisy toys, this will surely put a smile on some child’s face as he walks by, looking at his parents.

POP POP POP POP POP!!

And you’ll be smiling, too as you call the Happy Parents and ask them how their child is enjoying the corn popper.
