  • The bicycle with its basket is the leading choice over the communicator; an inert puppet would feel disappointing rather than magical.
  • A Coors beer is an easily obtained alternative; Speak & Spell, the NFL poster and Elvis Costello poster are desired, but the bike is immediately recognizable without explanation.
  • The puppet remains appealing to another speaker, with display in a glass case suggested and its present whereabouts unknown.
