Plunk-A-Skunk
Looking to get out a little pent-up aggression but don't feel like destroying your flatware? Plunk-A-Skunk is for you. Fans of the Whack-A-Mole carnival game found on Jersey Shore boardwalks will be familiar with this game's manic bonking action. As each of the skunk heads on the playing field light up you have to ding them with the padded Plunk-A-Skunk mallet to score points. Bang away and skunks taunt and praise you with phrases like "Time is running out" and "You're awesome." Sure, the game is made for anyone 3 years old or over, but releasing anger is for children of all ages. More mature players may want to cover the skunk faces with more relevant images such as an ex-lover, annoying co-worker, or Camille Paglia.

Plunk-A-Skunk is available for $19.99 at Kay-Bee Toy & Hobby, The Gallery, 9th & Market Sts., 238-1248.
