I think Rosey O'Donnell started this craze. C'mon, admit it. I've got a mondo koosh on my desk. How many you got?

Wolfie, it's a slow afternoon and I'm meandering around. What the heck are Koosh balls please. Sounds like some kind of japanese pleasure item, which I'm sure they're not!

*lol* i suppose, if one had the inclination, they could be used as such *grin* lemme get a link with a picture (my koosh ball sits at my desk at work)...

and that one happens to be the same color as mine. it's a plastic ball that has been shredded (kinda rubbery) and still has the rubber part in tack in the middle. the thing feels funny in your fingers and is easy to toss and catch.

I love'um but too cheap to spring for what they cost just to collect dust. So, I grab a feel every chance I get. They are good stress relievers, no?!

i got a big one for the price of the small ones ($5!!) and yes, i love to fiddle with it and the slinky i keep at my desk! (kids love to come to work with mom or dad, they get to play at my desk)

Oh, so it's a sort of grown up play thingy? I don't think they made it this side of the atlantic!

They're not made on any side of the Atlantic or on this side of the Pacific, either. Japan imports originally. Probably Chinese now, too. Too good for kids, btw *grin*
