I came across this fantastic item today.
Who comes up with this?!
What's the strangest thing you've found? And should I go back and buy this?
I don't know why I need it, but I feel like it's going to be one of those things I'll wonder about years later....

A statue of Chairman Mao. I bought him of course and now he wears a straw hat and string of beads to show people we are not serious Maoists.

That's really weird but cool, I would go back and get it for sure! 😀

It’s bonkers but brilliant. Buy it!

We have a different Chairman Mao. Ours is wearing one of those tiny knitted bobble hats that used to come on Innocent smoothies.

Mao's hat is one I got in Pets at Home for a rabbit! He's not wearing his beads there but they look good

Davros · 08/03/2024 21:02

@Aydel show us your Mao

PandaG · 08/03/2024 21:04

Do not buy, that is just plain weird! Like the Mao though!

FeralNun · 08/03/2024 21:06

Obviously, buy it. A future heirloom!

I have nothing else to contribute other than the fact that my friend’s cat is named Chairman Miaow..

Davros · 08/03/2024 21:18

You need to get that cat a rabbit's hat

I worked in charity shops and one widow added the urn to the donation.

I bought a saw fishes saw.
It was in a junk shop window and I thought that nobody else in town would have one.
It’ll still be somewhere in the house, among all the other rubbish.
