Came across something of a bizarre toy at Sears- a talking Teddy Bear. This is not your usual talking teddy with a pull string that lets it say a few canned phrases. No, this is a marvel of modern technology that listens to you and responds in "bear talk". The bear's name is A.G. Bear. I quote from the box: Hi, I'm A.G. Bear, the smartest, talkingest Teddy Bear around. My state-of-the-art electronics give me the amazing ability to listen to you, analyze your voice, and respond in "bear talk", my own peculiar but entertaining language. Sometime I'll mimic you, and sometimes I'll say what I want to. Although I'm never shy, you do need to move me to start me talking. Just pick me up or roll me over, then say something to me, and we'll start talking! After about two minutes, I'll automatically shut myself off until you move me again. Obviously, I like to be held! Actually, he is quite entertaining. My little brother is absolutely in love with him. [Needless to say, I am not associated with Sears (other than as a satisfied customer) or Axlon Incorporated, the makers of A.G. Bear. I do wish to apologize for not having a more suitable disclaimer for a net.bizarre posting.] -- Name: John Ruschmeyer US Mail: Monmouth College, W.
