Sorry about stating the obvious, but for those of you who don't know Spanish, Baño means "bathroom". It was the second toy that I hallucinated. It might have been inspired by the small town "Los Baños" we passed on the 5 freeway on the way up to the Dead show.

FAKE HISTORY: Created by George Ramirez in 1972, Baño is the top selling preschool throw toy on the market. It's slogan "Baño-Throw Him!" has been emblazoned on t-shirts, stickers, and other popular merchandising and has become a catch phrase among children everywhere. 1982 saw the first annual Baño toss in Pentaluma California which has now become an event that draws over two thousand people every year. The toy itself, fashioned after the Tequila worm and the Fisher Price play people is simple, easy to produce and effective. It has become especially popular among the Hispanic communities and is sold by the hundreds every day in Mexico.
