The Three Wise Guys

Moe, Santa, Larry, Santa and Curly.

This is the greatest Christmas display we’ve seen in at least 12 months. Two Santas and the 3 Wise Guys, and they’re all life-size, too. Pure efficient genius. (I know where I’m gonna go busking.)

Curly, Larry and Moe.

Curly, Moe and Larry. Some folks display the 3 Wiseguys year round, just like God intended.

Cool Crafts: AK47 Paper Model Kit

“Each AK-47 Paper Model Kit comes with all the materials and instructions to construct this amazingly life-like paper model of an AK-47.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a very detailed project, requiring some attention to detail and time.”

Paint it flat black and it’ll get you arrested in the daytime.  At night, unarmed intruders will soil their chonies when they see the business end pointed in their direction.  As for armed intruders, it’s kind of a death sentence… for you.  It’s still cool, though, cuz u kn poze n stuf wit ur blng.

Christmas Shopping – Something for Everyone

I’d love to see her gift list.  I just hope they fit.

This picture reminds me of a classic Steve Goodman song, cowritten with Shel Silverstein: “3-Legged Man.”

Great Educational Gift Idea: My Cleaning Trolley

My Cleaning Trolley_Woosk 091008

Be a Night Janitor just like Mommy! (Note that  it says, “Girls Only.”)

Not to worry, though, as there is a related educational toy just for the future Junior Maintenance Manager in your family, called “My Mop, My Bucket and My Squeegee.”

More Great Gift Ideas (and some are Assorted!)

inflatable snake swords_The Toy Zone 090709

Wow. I’ve been looking for a dozen assorted Inflatable Snake Swords for years, if only to have a crazy sword fight. If you swing one ISS and miss, the snakehead homes in on and bites your enemy right in the crackerbockles before deflating. Ouch. Crazy.

Light-Up Expando Swords

On the other hand, these Light-Up Expando Swords come with a built-in choking hazard. Swing one at your enemy and it breaks up into little weaponettes that fly screaming right down his/her/its throat. These weapons of mass illumination go for $14.99/dozen, so maybe they’re better for self defense after all, but they’re definitely not assorted.

Foam Swords

Foam Swords + Duct Tape are an entirely different class of weaponry, to be covered in a future post. Meanwhile, don’t mess with ANYONE who displays little cows with crescent moons on his/her foam sword sheath. These people are dangerous, and THEY play for keeps.
