Of course I remember them, though I had NO IDEA they weren't still out there!

Guess it's been awhile since I've hired a hooker....er I mean rented a motel room. :eek:

I miss them, most of the time my parents stuck me and my brother outside the room when they played with it :( I think they didn't want to spoil us.

Haha lots of stories involving those beds.

Anyone remember rotary phones in the hotel rooms and how you could still call out if you had a quick finger on the hook? :Q

Now the question is...

Why was the bed vibrating? ;)

I know of them, but i have never actually seen one and i have been in some really seedy motels.

Seedy? Holiday Inn used to have them.

Well, i have been in hotels that charge by the hour, day, and week and i have never seen one. And i have traveled extensively in the states and grew up in Reno, Nevada. Never seen one. How old are you?

I'm 33 years old and I remember seeing them.

I am 36 and remember them just about everywhere growing up.

They pop up time to time on ebay actually.
