I remember living in Michigan in the early 80's and my mom came home with this summer toy. You hook it up to your garden hose and these long pieces of flexible tubing would whip around and spray water every where. I recall getting too close once. I STRESS ONCE ! I would like to buy it if they still make him. I think every kids should have the wonderfully painful joys of hot summer days. That is why I ask for help.
When we moved to Arizona in the late 80's we still had it but he was left out in the sun and mom (against my wishes) threw him out.
I did look him up and I found a picture but he wasn't for sale. Tell me where I can buy him.
Thank You

I don't know if you ever tracked one down, but here's one!
