Last Minute Gift Idea: Electronic Bubble Wrap

bubble-wrap_putiputi.jpg

This is beyond the Valley of Stupid, past the Hill of Morons, and all the way up to the Citadel of Ignoramus, but it’s available here. The site has an appropriately annoying soundtrack, too, to remind you of what bubble wrap popping sounds like. China knows that we’ll buy anything except for an oil pipeline from the Alaskan arctic desert, and they’re banking on bubble wrap popping audio electronics for now.

Don’t get me wrong. I’d be hawking it right here if I’d thought of it first.

P.S. Don’t buy it yet. This is only the beta analog version. Digital is coming out in January.

One More Great Gift Idea

Everyone should have an Albino Bowler Action Figure, if only to go with that Lunch Lady Action Figure you have on your desk.

Great Gift Idea for Hannukah

As a regular goy, it just occurred to me that I’ve inadvertently overlooked our non-goyim friends and readers who celebrate Hannukah this time of year. To recompense for my accidental oversite, here’s this gift suggestion:

A DELUXE EDITION of NO LIMIT TEXAS DREIDEL

[I didn’t make that up. Ask Kinky Friedman. Here’s the link, found here. At least it’s not “Strip Dreidel.”]

Saturday Matinee: Rock and Roll Wheels

“Rocks” by Das Rad (The Wheels).

Vodpod videos no longer available. from www.videosift.com posted with vodpod

 

Rocks, and Rolls by God, with wheels.

 

Put ’em together and watcha got?

Rock N Roll with Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, as if you hadda ask.

[LATE UPDATE BONUS: CLASSIC TIRE ROLL.]

TGIF: The .gif Friday Post 16: Crispness is Clumping…

“Crispness is clumping, the geezer’s got a flat; Won chew fleas butter Penny Inn anode man sat.”

It was still cognizant.

The chicken is not a real chicken. It’s a rubber chicken. It’s not even a live rubber chicken. And that’s not a real ninja either, but it’s obvious that the rubber chicken didn’t know what it was messing with when it attacked without warning. Did the rubber chicken deserve this brutal treatment? (Watch this and decide for yourself.)

Santa with Two Nekkid Elves, um, well, kinda…

Apparently there are a handful of folks who are offended by too many things, who are all humpy about this dopiness. I love it. And I love that those folks are all humpy about it, too.

Now if that were my son (the one on the left, I mean) I’d get all humpy about that ridiculous outfit, smack him on the temporal lobes, cut off his driving privileges and ask him what he was thinking.

Nature’s Parking Ticket

The street had eroded and the parking meter rusted away years ago when Big Momma stepped in to finish the job.

Mr. Lung Face Person Cushion

mr-lung-cushion_chiquiworld.jpg

Um, ah, you know, sometimes the words just don’t come easy when trying to describe something like Mr. Lung Face Person Cushion. Repulsive and attractive at the same time, and when you tickle him, he coughs.

Or maybe it’s Ms. Pink Apple-Shaped Windshield Face Person who just came into contact with a bloodless blue leaping newt at 50mph, and they both turned into a collectible plush toy.

But it could also be a comfy sanitary example of incomplete twinning en utero.

Oooh! Wait! It’s Cherchez “Churchy” LaFemme from Walt Kelly’s POGO looking at himself in a mirror!

I dunno, Babs, but I do know this. Someone thought this up, someone designed it, someone picked the colors and fabric, someone sewed it together, someone marketed it, and some folks are buying it, for someone else, for some unknown reason.

Some mysteries should just be left unsolved.
