Greetings! New on the block…

I am an explorer and a creator.
I created the Ultima series, the modern use of “avatar”, MMO’s and lots of games.

As an explorer, I am the first and still only person to explore from Pole to Pole and Orbital Space to the deepest ocean depths of the Mariana Trench!
Look up copyright law… make note of the time.
I remember those!!! (Just went to eBay to re-acquire)
One of my favorite automata toys. From Japan. Found my first one during the 90’s in Japan, ended up parting with it. Took years to find another, via a Japanese eBay like site. Check this out. Seen it anywhere? May be more parts to add on.

Aha… interesting that they either… just like rubbing on the rope like a scratching post… or note its lack of flies? Former, I presume.
Riddle me this? What does this do?made for cattle? If you push up the rope, a button is pushed letting some liquid spill onto the rope. Does it have medicine? Bug repellant? Vitamins? Cattle rub or lick?

I collect puzzle boxes… I cannot figure out how to open one I bought a few years back! Anyone know? It has a slightly movable “drawer” on the bottom. I’m stumped.
@theexplorersclub.bsky.social “Discovered” by the Imperial Palace Tokyo!
Ok. I added that because I was president of The Explorers Club. Also, in addition to being “The Ultima Guy”, I also build organizations like: XPRIZE, ZeroG, Space Adventures, Deep Ocean Expeditions, Antarctic Logistics. I reached those extremes by building the companies that now allow many to go.
