International Chindogu Society

Celebrating our 15th aniversary on the Web! (and if you don't believe us, just look at this web design!)

Dan Papia, president ICS (AS SEEN ON T.V.!!!)


First a message from our President, Dan Papia

"Hello to everyone who saw us on the BBC last May. Yes, this is the ONE AND ONLY official website of the International Chindogu Society. Feel free to use the special membership application form to join our organization and suggest your own Chindogu. It just might make it into our upcoming book! Or just to tell us about your dog's digestion. If it interests you, it interests us!!! Please brouse through the ten chindogu that we have already posted. More will be coming soon. Thank you!"

Hey, buccaroos!

Do you know what a chindogu is. Well, dogu is Japanese for "tool" and chin is Japanese for "weird." Thus, a chindogu is a weird tool. The term was coined by Japanese commedian Kenji Kawakami, who invented the chindogu pictured in these pages and collaberated with Mr. Papia on the first two Chindogu books.

Enlightened Pyramid Publications is teaming up with the International Chindogu Society to present to the internet society the quasi-official, semi-lifelike chindogu virtual homepages.

Enlightened Pyramid Publications and the International Chindogu Society make the perfect match. We have lots of great ideas for chindogu and they have lots of excess disk space. I know what you are thinking -- what happened to our old sponsers, Orangutan Records. Well, they used to be cool but now they suck. Bag of Cows hasn't had a hit record in years and how many people really want to cruise around town listening to North Korean Revolutionary music? Come on, get real!!!

The first 10 (count 'em, TEN!) chindogu are already online, and in the coming days, these pages will be expanded to bring even more real-live pictures and descriptions of chindogu into your home, tell you how to order chindogu, and best of all invite you to join the rapidly growing International Chindogu Society. Bookmark this page, because we're sure you will want to come back. If you want to join right now, send in the application form in the back of your Chindogu book or click here for an electronic order form.

If you join now, the $10 membership fee is waved, but you must provide a chindogu idea. (Don't worry about anyone "stealing" your idea. If it is worth stealing, then it is not chindogu!) We have already posted several ideas from our members, and will be posting more. Any other questions can be asked by clicking just below.

I WANNA KNOW RIGHT NOW!!!

BUT WAIT!! THERE'S MORE!!!

The International Chindogu Society is preparing for a third Chindogu Book, this time featuring the chindogu ideas submitted by our members.

SEND YOUR CHINDOGU IDEAS RIGHT HERE!!!

We will post them on our page after reviewing them scrutinously for quality, originality, propriety, appropriateness for family viewing, tastefulness, shamelessness, dishonor brought to ancestors, etc. Digital photos would be nice but are by no means required. Ideas that get posted may become eligible for candidacy for inclusion in the next book.
