You are buddy, it's you.

A sitar? I love watching local news just for these kinds of things to laugh at. KOAT News Channel 7 in Albuquerque is my favorite. Coverage I can count on, indeed!

That's a hammer dulcimer, dumbass
I didn't see a vibrator, but I did see a big dildo

He was holding the mic.

WHOA! She's got GOGGLES! She must be a super villain!

BravadoGT: Damn thing is huge.

The vibrator? YOu have pics?

cretinbob: That's a hammer dulcimer, dumbass

I knew it wasn't a sitar, couldn't exactly place what it was. My mind was stuck on 'autoharp', but I knew that was wrong. At least I was closer than that moron.

I don't know about that. Seems small for a hammer dulcimer, and certainly not an autoharp. Definitely something in the zither family, though.

All the stuff that woman could have said on live television, and she went with vibrator... and not one of those old-timey, vibrating belt exercisers, no! A small, Dr. Scholls (?!?), "personal massager."

F*ck yes.

That is an extremely satisfying use of a journalism degree.

Yeah, um...it's like the ultimate hitachi

That was a thumb piano.
Zimbabwean mbira dza vadzimu if you want to be fancy.
Not a Hammered Dulcimer (big, freestanding, played with ...hammers
(small box dulcimers are lap or table sized look a little like that, but are picked)
Agree with y'all about the dildo with the mike.

Oh, cr*p, I lie. Yes, it's a thumb piano, or a lamellophone, if you want to be fancy.
Form of percussion instrument. Dulcimers are stringed instruments.

NOT a mbira dza vadzimu, that's way fancier. (teach me to cut and paste)

I smile to think she's one of these conservative church-going ladies that's never actually been around a gay guy before, and she was just honestly trying to think of something he would most likely be into.

ohmygod he's gay ohmygodohmygod he's right next to me ohmygod..... "uhhh, vibrator".

Student size. Interestingly enough I saw one like it a few weeks ago at a local yard sale, in about as rough shape.

I was actually thinking this the other week when reading something on Fark about vibrators. Not sure quite how weird it is me being jealous of women for their sex toys.

Gotta admit I loved the way this guy handled the situation. 'can't wait for that to turn up on youtube'. He got a chuckle from me.

Thanks, Subby, for sending this one along.

Small corrective note:

"hammered" dulcimer is the standard/formal term.


Maybe that's going the way of "iced tea" and "old-fashioned" and so on....

The instrument in the video has strings. It's definitely a hammered dulcimer - looks like 6/5, so with a range of probably an octave and a half it is most likely a novelty or toy.
