Y’all have forgotten:

the pet rock.

the garden claw.

the thing that holds your book so you don’t have to.

the red, white and blue basketball

The anus of the fish could be enlarged and served as a holder for your set of ginsu knives, and when you pull out a ginsu knife it “dances” like the butt-shaking Santa Claus that we all know and love.

What really gets me about the Boogie Bass is that it comes with a CD featuring the songs the bass sings (“I use batteries not gas, I’m the funky Boogie Bass”). Now what the hell are you supposed to do with that CD? Play it at your next party?
