There are plans for building them at the link above. They're in a pdf linked at the bottom of the blurb, How to Build a Sandbox Backhoe Plans. Easy to miss - it looks like the header for the ads below it.

Looks like this was caught on camera

Meanwhile, I'm pondering the difference in connotation between "schoolgirl pedestrians" and "pedestrian schoolgirls."

Well, obviously, pedestrian schoolgirls are less exciting than their perambulatory sisters.

Boingy boingy boingy...

Wow. That's some party. No wonder everyone who lived through the 70's looks so damned tired.

@6 The best way to clean anything with nooks and crannies like that is to fill it with warm water and drop in one or two denture tablets, broken up if necessary to get it thoroughly mixed. Works like a charm on novelty vases, baby toys, fancy-pants liqueur glasses with hollow stems, etc. Also good for cleaning toothbrushes.
