Wierd crap I secretly want- but won't get- for Christmas.

[LaraMN]

DR 15 HP Commercial Pro ALL-Terrain Field & Brush Mower
I don't TECHNICALLY have a field to mow- but I bet I could find one. This sucker looks like FUN! I could totally take out my neighbor's fence with it...in theory.



Dymo label writer. What COULDN'T I label with this thing?!



Slip-N-Slide. Because I never had one with a tunnel, and I feel that if I did, I'd be as happy as the kids pictured:



PSA; One to pass up: Eurosealer. I got one for a gift one year and attempted to use it, and some Ziploc bags, to make my own water bra. Not a good idea. It doesn't really seal that well.

[KitchenWitch]

1. Did you ever see the Will and Grace episode with Grace's water bra

It sprung a leak...:rofl:

[LaraMN]

2. Yes! Mine never even made it onto my chest. n/t

[GrpCaptMandrake]

3. Wait a minute

Like, 37 years ago, I spotted a "Batman Utility Belt" in the toy store window and began spontaneously yearning.

I never got it. I had been caught the week before trying to scale the house with an umbrella to put the whole "Mary Poppins" thing to the task. The Utility Belt, what with its Batarang, scared the dickens out of my Mom.

I was five at the time.

Still want one. Need more features now, though.

[LaraMN]

4. Ha! Sounds familiar. I jumped off of our garage roof when I was seven,

pretending to be Teela from He-Man, which was really dumb as shit, because Teela couldn't even fly. Someone needs to get you that belt!

[GrpCaptMandrake]

10. My whole family, inculding my kids

knows about that belt.

My son found the latest incarnation in K-Mart. Bless his heart, he said "Dad, here it is. AND . . . they've got TWO!" :pals:

My heart just melted. Right there. On the spot.

[LaraMN]

12. Aw, sweet. Y'know, some year you ARE going to get one from someone.

Maybe if/when your son has his own chld, you can get a set of three- that would make for a classic "generations" pic!

[GrpCaptMandrake]

15. Yeah, but does the "Old Guy" version come w/ attached walker? n/t

[LaraMN]

17. Nah, just a harness and hanging clip. It's a model similar to this:

[GrpCaptMandrake]

19. Looks like fun if

there's at least a little bungee space.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

18. P.S. Just read your profile

Hygiene-wise, do you know about Aramis Lab Series?

Turning any guy onto that, especially the shaving cream, will be the nicest thing you ever did for any male with your clothes on. And I mean that as only the highest compliment.

It's the only shave cream that contains a healthy dose of benzocaine. Greatest nick reducer ever. Also unscented. My wife and daughters *love* it for their rasage.

/Guy-stuff geek off

On Edit: I'm not a Freeper and don't intend to start typing like one now!

[LaraMN]

20. Never heard of it. I also don't know what canasta is.

My husband uses some sensitive-skin stuff. He smells like plums.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

22. Oh, gosh!

I'm sorry. I can't help you with the canasta. My sister taught it to me about a thousand years ago, and all I can remember is that it apparently requires to decks.

Plums are nice, if you like plums all the time.

That shaving cream is the most wonderful thing I ever ran across in terms of mens' facial health. I *HATE* shaving. Most guys do. And they do mainly because of the irritation. The ALS stuff I mentioned makes shaving a non-event. If you're in a department store that carries it, drop the $18 it costs. It will last your hubby a year and make him an ever-so-happy-shaver.

[LaraMN]

23. Thanks, I'll make a note of that for Christmas shopping!

My husband's notoriously difficult to shop for.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

24. If he hates to shave

you'll score a large sized coup.

[hfojvt]

21. you need one of those things that

Kevin Smith has

[TheMightyFavog]

5. Every year since 1996, I have been asking for one of these for Christmas..

[KitchenWitch]

6. And I always wanted Rock em Sock em Robots.

I had issuezzzzzzzz as a child.

[LaraMN]

9. We got my son those, a few years ago.

He dismantled it and lost all the pieces.:eyes:

[KitchenWitch]

11. I think they were made a little more durable back in my childhood.

[LaraMN]

13. Were they carved from horse hooves?

Or were horses not invented yet?

Ohhhhhhhh!!!:spank: :spank: :spank:

[KitchenWitch]

14. Watch it Sparky!

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

[LaraMN]

16. Sorry. It's paper mill smog. I blame it for everything.

Headache? Paper mill smog. Chronic cough? Paper mill smog. Herpes? Paper mill smog.

[LaraMN]

7. I've never even seen one of those. Is it big? n/t

[Broken_Hero]

8. well thats not bad...

I secretly want that Radio Controlled Batmobile, which in reality is totally worthless, but looks great and I would terrorize my dog to no end with it....:)

[NV Whino]

25. If you get the brush mower

you can come mow my field(s). I've wanted one of those for years.

[LaraMN]

29. On the commercial, it looks like it can take out ANYTHING,

short of a redwood. I like mowing the lawn, so I'm pretty sure I would REALLY like this thing.

[NV Whino]

32. Yeah, I think it whacks anything up to two inches.

And it's self propelled.

[DS1]

26. I'll get you the Label Writer

IF you promise to prefix every label with "Bat-"

Like


Bat-phone
Bat-wall
Bat-door
Bat-window
Bat-oven
Bat-teevee
Bat-etc

[billyskank]

27. ...

Bat-lavatory

[DS1]

28. and going a step further

which I never do

Bat-shit

edit: guano, is not an acceptable replacement

[LaraMN]

30. I don't know- that could get confusing:

I was kind of thinking of giving everything a human name, with it. When I was in college, all of our furniture, plants and mannequins had names. Our couch was named "LaTonya," and I had a plant that I only watered twice the entire first semester, that wouldn't die, named "Alanis Luciferous." I eventually dropped it out my window onto a car that had parked in my spot, during a nearby hockey game.

31. ...

This whole thread so far is f'n hilarious! :rofl:
