Why on earth would anyone spend money on this stuff? And AIBU to think those who do are incredibly strange people?

Or am I just a snob?

The ultimate dragon rock band!

I wasn't aware that there were any dragon rock bands.

I'm speechless at this table

I'm guessing whoever buys it already has the matching fleece

KingRolo · 07/07/2009 16:25

I bet some poor old misguided grandma has bought her metal loving grandson that dragon rock band.

Wow the more I follow your links the more I'm having flashbacks of being in MIL's sitting room.....

I have to say I love stuff like this. I mean - not seriously as in I think its actually pleasant! But god I love it. I would love to a have a whole room dedicated to the tackiest stuff I could find. Does anyone remember the mermice? Oh my passion for them... I'm still trying to find a place to buy them. God they were fab. This really sets my pulse racing.

I found this listed under Gifts for men.
Now being single for a while maybe things have changed but I've never known a guy who would appreciate such shite a thing.

hereidrawtheline · 07/07/2009 16:34

wolves walking on eagles... ? I think I saw that on acid once.

KingRolo · 07/07/2009 16:35

How exactly is that fleece the first of it's kind? Is it made of cats of something?

MN confession time

I was once proposed to by an Elvis impersonator. He was in full white bodysuit. He sang. I said no and dumped him.

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 07/07/2009 16:36

baby tree

KingRolo · 07/07/2009 16:37

Oh no. I mean its kind.

Thunderduck · 07/07/2009 16:38

Oh yes Soupdragon. I just need to find a gift that lights up and plays music and I'll have the ultimate gift.

"This sculptural tree is sure to find a place in your home and your heart."

Well no, the bin is far more likely.

My mother has a Diana Royal Doulton figurine, she collected tokens in the
Daily Mail to get it.

She keeps saying to me that I will put it out on display along with her other "ladies" (she has them with her name, my name and dd's name, and for some vague reason one called Ashley) when she's gone.

Dh says they will be gone - straight in the bin!

whoisasking · 07/07/2009 16:40

It's "First of a Kind" (of shit no one with any taste, anywhere in the known universe, would ever desire)

Thunderduck · 07/07/2009 16:40

I need one now

retiredgoth2 · 07/07/2009 16:40

You may not be single, Mugglewump, but I would hazard a guess that anyone who covets the elvis cuckoo clock is.

Just a hunch.

Think I'd better get me one of those baby monkeys. There's a smashing thing, eh?
