This season, I vote for the pop-up 5th Anniversary 9/11 Proof, which I see advertised over and over and over again on TV, and each time I see it, I am gob-smacked all over again, as my brain, in self-defense, blots it out of my memory.
So so dip into the Harriet Carter catalog of your minds, and find something to beat the 9/11 proof out of my head!
My vote on Harriet is either the ducky floss dispenser or the cotton ball bunny!
It looks like you are pulling cotton balls out of the bunnies ass. (snicker, snicker)
I once had a job of going door to door to raise funds for an environmental group. In one neighborhood, I was starting to get a little freaked out because every door, every single door, had a decoration. Made of wood and hand painted, each door had either a goose or a teddy bear. Then I came to the coup de gras; A teddy bear riding a goose.
I can’t link to this item, because I don’t know who made it or where it was purchased. My inlaws give each other gag gifrs at Xmas. A couple of years ago, BIL got his dad a little plastic cow full of brown jelly beans. You push down on the head of the cow, and it poops out a jelly bean. Is that tacky enough?
Good news, Outlierrn, the leg lamp is available in real life. Some guy brought Ralphie’s house (the house that featured in exterior shots in the movie) and has opened up a “Christmas Story” museum inside it. The guy is having leg lamps manufactured and is selling them in the museum gift shop. I read an article about it last month; if I can find it I’ll post a link further down in this thread.
Oops, Shagnasty got in here with news of the Leg Lamp ahead of me. For anyone who’s interested in the museum story, you can read about the “Christmas Story” Museum by following the links in Shag’s post.
