The stupidest thing I've seen for sale...

A nasty little big that bites and makes you itch.

Be glad you aren’t familiar with them.

You may call them “noseeums”. They are the little invisible bugs that eat up your legs when you walk in the woods or through tall grass.

Chiggers, that is.

No we aint got them or ‘noseeums’ we have ex-wives though and they bite and make you itch :smiley:

Honestly you Yanks you have everything doncha?

Is that the greasy-looking guy?

You’da thunk they’d have at least hosed him off before the commercial.
C’mon people…I know somebody out there has a “Flowbee”

:smiley:

AUTZ: I read the article, nasty little buggers aint they

“Good things don’t end in '-eum,” they end in ‘-mania’ or ‘-teria.’"

One of the funniest things I’ve seen for sale was an ebay auction for an “imaginary girlfriend”… the kit came with pictures and personal items you could place around your house, some love letters and a whole bunch of other things so that your friends/family would think you actually had a girlfriend. I’m not doing it justice here, but the whole writeup for the item was hilarious. If anybody else knows what I’m talking about, or could provide a link (I can’t find it on ebay), I’d appreciate it. SDMB was where I heard about it.

Pretty much.

Wanna buy some chiggers? How about Blackflies? I’d be happy to put them up on eBay for you… :wink:
