It looks like a gonzo ball. I'm gonna take some time to come round to this, if I ever do.

What do those words mean? Google Image Search isn't helping.

Wow, clearly I'm showing my age here because I can't find a picture either. Back in the 80s a gonzo ball was a bouncy ball cast into a roughly round, irregular polyhedron so that when it hit the ground it bounced at some unpredictable angle.

"Z-ball" seems to be the common name

"gonzo" means crazy or over-the-top Not familiar with "gonzo ball" but it probably means "large amount of craziness"
