I can't believe it took this much thinking to get this accomplished...but BRAVO!! Matty you are awesome. :)

and thank you for the plog. :) which one is going on ebay? :)

I'm theeenking u should have foregone revealing the secrets (thru plogging) of how to make a stuffed hippo fart... It's going to be next Christmas's rage product, you know. Did you at least apply for a patent? Maybe perform the implant surgery on the remaining hippo and auction it? I'm pretty sure you could seal the deal on Evie's college fund with the proceeds...

A thousand thank you's! My gf's favorite show is NCIS, and u guessed it - her favorite character is Abby. Finding a "Bert" has plagued me for over a year...until I found ur blog. Thankfully there is an Ikea within 3 hours and Spencers close by. Now just to bribe my sister to sew and I'm in business. Again - thank you, thank you, thank you!

An easier, louder and more reliable fart box would be an electronic (recorded) one. The sounds vary and you can keep the remote external for a fart from across the room or imbed the remote.
