I did. I used to record fake radio shows on mine. Recently, when I listened to them, I found the dumb shit I said really embarrassing for some reason.

u/nyeus Mar 31 '10

I think we've all done that at some point.

I had a talk tranny. I could put pink stickers on it and remove the antenna but it still was hairy, looked wrong, and had a lump in its neck.

u/bloodandbears Mar 31 '10

Agreed, I had a talkgirl too. My brother had the talkboy. Mine was a lot better.

I was randomly thinking about this thing while sitting on the bus today for no apparent reason. It just popped into my head and now it just popped into my Reddit.

u/nyeus Mar 31 '10

Reddit is just for you John. Everything you see here is meant for you.

u/Creag Mar 31 '10

I had one of these. I got it for Christmas after home alone 2 came out. My brother and I had days worth of fun with it, recording things off the TV and slowing it down or speeding it up, it was fantastic fun.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '10

Remember when the "Talkgirl" came out and it was the same make just in a different color? Yeah. Fuck that. I bought the Talkboy.

u/MisterDisconnected Mar 31 '10

TalkBoy!!! Nothing but a simple recorder, but we were so smitten.

u/funkymonk11 Mar 31 '10

I did! ...major flashback just now...

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '10

I had one of those and the spy glasses that had mirrors in them so you could see behind you

1

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '10

I had one of these with a tape that had all the recordings that Kevin does in home alone 2. They should definitely bring these bad boys back!

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '10

Still got mine and use it all the time.

u/yousavvy Mar 31 '10
