Time for the Christmas Stegosaurus!

Well, it gets lonely out there with only a flying pig to talk to.

The pig is so ridiculous that I want three just to enrage my HOA. But I can’t possibly be the only one that wants the Bumble, right? I want him in my house all holiday season, actually.

What I really would like is one of these ridiculous things, but a Grinch. I’d like him to live by my fireplace all Christmas season. Oddly, no such thing seems to exist.

I’m so glad I live in an apartment which causes me to restrain myself decoration-wise because I want the stegosaurus! I actually want a whole set of holiday dinosaurs. The christmas stegosaurus, a velociraptor that wears a yarmulke and lights a menorah, a t-rex in bunny ears and a basket full of chocolate eggs for easter, two brontosauruses that wear pink sweaters and kiss one another for valentines day, etc. My neighbors would beg me to switch to garden gnomes.

The steg would look AWESOME next to our flamingo light, giraffe light, and labrador light.

I’m running out of room on my tiny townhouse lawn.

I’m still calling shenanigans on the Bumble. It doesn’t bounce.

Bumbles bounce. If it doesn’t bounce then it is not a Bumble.

Silly Rand, for that you need a Tigger.

Outrage! The Home Depot site refer to it as a “Tiger” both in the description and the ad copy:

Don’t forget to get a Kwanzeratops.

Ridiculous…the next Prehistoric Creatures Day isn’t until January!

And a Godzilla!

Couldn’t you have the Flamingo getting farked in the bum by the dog whose getting farked by the Giraffe to make it a “Very Special Space Saving” display to make room for the Stegosaurus?

Xmas Stego purchased !!

Unfortunately, Mrs Labtrash nixed the idea in the post above, but maybe I’ll sneak outside after she’s in bed…

We looked at the Christmas stegosaurus on Black Friday for a couple of minutes. If it had been $75 instead of $120, my friend would have bought it. I think she should have, it would go nicely with the Christmas hippo and Christmas lobster she already has.

Christmas Lobster? Does he hide in the stockings of bad children like an oversized scorpion? This is an awesome concept. I’m so glad to hear they celebrate Christmas under the sea. :smiley:

What he does is nearly scare a nice old lady to death. See, we found it last year in either K-Mart or Sears, and while her parents were out, we set it up on their front stoop. It’s probably 2’ long, and moves his claws back and forth (oh, there’s also a santa hat on his head), and of course all the lights are red.

The intention was to annoy her parents with it. The real result was that one of their elderly neighbors saw this wavery patch of red on their stoop some time after I went home, and…like most reasonable people, didn’t think “oh, a Christmas lobster. How cute.” No. She thought there was something on fire on the stoop and called in a tizzy.

My friend ended up carting it over to the neighbor’s house so she could see what the hell was going on :smiley:

That poor lady. I guess I can understand her confusion. I do think a Christmas lobster is pretty great though. Maybe they’ll make an animated Christmas Pet Rock soon…

See, now I need a demmed Christmas Lobster to sneak onto my Father’s lawn. Wher’dja get it?

I’m about 98% positive it was bought in the Salem, NH Kmart. If it was, they don’t have 'em this year :frowning: I can’t even find pictures of it online, nevermind a place to get another one.

No luck finding a light-up moveable lobster yet, but I did find a lovely inflatable lighthouse complete with a friendly lobster and snowman!

Thanks b! Normally that would be a great substitute, as he’s from NH. Unfortunately $109 is a bit over my obnoxious prank budget this year.

Shucks.
