Creepy dolls superstore

From the same people who brought you these creepy dolls. And these. Add Mrs. Beasley. Hanna Montana. Delilah Noir. Sassy. Edgy. And just plain creepy. (This one thanks to a RWS fan who wishes to remain anonymous. Remember, we love your RWS contributions.)

20-inch John Hancock lamp

With a lamp like this, why bother riding the elevator to the top? (It’s very important that you understand that the actual lamp is 20 INCHES TALL! And that strong demand is expected.)

The Barcalounger for Trekkies. For only $2,700, you get a full size replica. Of a prop.

And yes, people are buying them.

Biker Christmas tree…in March

This ad appeared in the March, 2009 issue of Rider Magazine, and just arrived on newsstands. This raises questions:

1. Are bikers slow on the draw for the holidays, or the ultimate earlybirds?

2. Do bikers share a weird ceramic Christmas tree jones with Boston Terrier lovers and Cub fans?

3. If a biker could only have one, would it be this tree or this snowman?

Also–note to The Bradford Editions: Enough with the “It Lights Up!” stuff.

Mark this momentous occasion in our nation’s history with a cheesy piece of crap. Despite our greatest hopes, some things will never change.

Bikers meet Thomas Kinkade and it ain’t pretty

  1. Three 3-D villages inside snowman’s belly: Check
  2. Vehicles that run around the snowman: Check
  3. It lights up: Check
  4. Won’t burn down your house: Check

Hey wait a minute, something smells and it ain’t burnin’ rubber! The Kinkade mashup snowman seems a lot less special right now.

Marilyn Monroe Christmas Ornaments

Never forget what Christmas is about: Glitzy, glamorous, resin figures on polymer ornaments. And “The Seven Year Itch.” And “Some Like It Hot.” And after you hang Marilyn from your tree, put Animatronic Elvis under it.
