<title>T.M.X. Elmo - English Speaking Version</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.news-blogs.com/_ln/merchant.php?id=1729" ><IMG border=0 align="right" hspace="10" vspace="7" alt="T.M.X. Elmo - English Speaking Version" src="http://TRUS.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-2900282_alternate1_reg.jpg" ></a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=BHHpMFhGCYU&bids=117710.2334520&type=2&subid=0" >"T.M.X." Elmo will tickle America's funny bone with three interactive tickle spots on his chin, tummy and toe. When kids tickle Elmo once on any of the tickle spots, he starts to laugh and slap his leg twice, then falls down into a sitting position and rocks himself back up to standing while laughing. When they tickle him a second time, he repeats the pattern even more, then sits down again and falls backwards onto his back and starts kicking his feet while laughing even harder. He then stands back up and asks to be tickled again. And on the third tickle he absolutely lets loose going through the first two patterns and then rolling over onto his tummy where he starts hitting the floor with his hand in gales of laughter, then rolling onto his back, standing up again, and ending with a deep sigh. Order Limit: Two per customer.</p>]]></description>
