Sometimes you see things that are just…. wrong.
And that’s what I saw the other day. A product that’s beyond wrong and well on its way to horrifying.
.
.
For the love of all that’s holy, no.
.
.
Ack!
Who in their right mind would purchase this abomination?
.
.
I’m going to have nightmares about this, I just know it.
.
.
Do I love a good baked potato? Of course… please pass the butter. But do I need someone’s face on my tater?
.
.
I definitely do not.
.
.
Best gift ever? Clearly some people don’t know how to shop.
.
.
Whaaaat?
.
.
Let’s wrap our minds around the idea of someone actually applying for a patent for water soluble panties in a can.
🥴
.
.
They’re right. I love cats… but I do not love that. Not even close.
.
.
Have you ever fallen head over heels in love with a perfume? Become so completely enamored with it that you’ve worn it since the first day it was released? I did, way back in 1986 when Prescriptives (a sister company to Clinique) released Calyx.
.
Energizing and audacious, the classic, acclaimed fragrance of Calyx is crisp, green, and ideal for the fragrance connoisseur who appreciates the unique and distinctive. Notes: Grapefruit, Mandarin, Passion Fruit, Mango, Papaya, Freesia, Muguet, Neroli, Lily, Jasmine, Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Vetiver.
.
What on earth is a Calyx? Well, I’m glad you asked.
.
.
Anywho…. this has been my signature fragrance for 35 years and while I love to try other scents, I always have a bottle of my favorite waiting in the wings.
Enter 2021, another shit show of a year where Covid is thriving but my beloved perfume will cease to exist. Yes, to my utter and absolute horror I discovered the company has halted production… and River is not a happy camper.
My second reaction…. after screaming Noooo! at the top of my lungs?
Amazon.
.
.
Thankfully I found some at a very reasonable price and ordered 3 bottles. But after they arrived I thought hmm… better get a few more just to be safe.
.
.
But damn it! The price gouging had already begun.
I paid $45 for 1.7 Oz …. now it’s $249 for half an ounce.
And a few days later?
.
.
Holy Hell!
I love it…. but not that much.
.
.
I saw this the other day and was sorely tempted.
.
.
I totally need cherry tomato toting ants.
In other local news….
.
.
Such a neighborly thing to do.
And lately a dip in the pool has been sounding wonderful with temps being hot, hot, hot.
.
.
Of course this is Maine, so while it felt like 104 one morning…
.
.
Two days later it felt like 45.
.
.
I replanted my left over garden bed with geraniums after the baby woodchucks ate all the petunias.
.
.
But not before the little bastards darlings chewed all the leaves off my gay feather.
.
.
At least they left the blooms this time.
🥴
.
.
Now I’m wondering what an appropriate beef jerky card message would be.
I wanna hold your ham?
Nice to meat you?
Don’t go bacon my heart.
I have a t-bone to pick with you?
.
.
Because I know I don’t.
.
.
Lately the man cave/Barn Mahal has been our money sucking box….
.
.
But I agree, that one is much creepier.
.
.
Okay, I admit a yodeling pickle might be a nice screaming goat accompaniment at our bar… but I restrained myself from ordering one.
.
.
Yeah. I can do without that as well.
.
.
Sorry, but there’s not a board game on earth that would make me want to eat my husband’s Uncle Donny.
Nope.
Not happening.
.
.
It seems there’s no end to the ridiculous things you can buy for your pet.
.
.
A privacy screen?
.
.
Cats are a lot of things… smart, manipulative, stealthy, lovable. But the one thing they’re not? Easily embarrassed by bodily functions.
Does Lord Dudley Mountcatten need a privacy screen to hide behind while doing his business?
.
.
You be the judge.
Cats. They have no shame.
Moving on….
Lots of people tell me I need to add perches to my windows… and while that might seem like a good idea?
.
.
Over the kitchen sink has got to be the stupidest placement ever.
.
.
This next product must have been invented by a moron. Seriously….
.
.
If I left that on the counter? His Lordship would be sliding those levers to the left every chance he got.
.
.
.
Whatever happened to plop plop fizz fizz… or snap crackle and pop? These days it seems like it’s all ball wash or dead hoohaas.
.
.
My Whoopee is right where it needs to be thank you very much.
.
.
They did not just say that!
.
.
Good grief, do they even prescribe that anymore?
.
.
Here’s hoping your hoohaa is in good health and not in need of such products.
.
.
I believe I’ve found heaven right here on earth… and it seems I’m not the only one.
.
.
Yes, boys and girls…. dreams do come true.
.
.
Alcoholic ice cream. Be still my heart!
.
.
Oh, yes.
Yes please!
.
.
Couldn’t have said it better myself Joe.
.
.
Nutrition facts? Who cares! It’s ice cream made with bourbon. ❤️
.
.
Excellent idea. An adult Good Humour truck ! I’d chase that sucker down the street for sure….
.
.
My mouth is watering already.
.
.
I’m good with that.
.
.
Yikes!!! $28.75 per?
.
.
On second thought… I might just drop a scoop full of Breyers in my Woodfords Reserve and call it good.
.
.
If you’ve ever doubted the power of misspelled words, I think these listings might change your mind. They’re also a scathing indictment of the educational system… but that’s another blog entirely.
.
.
I’d like to think that was a typo, but they wrote it twice. Sigh.
.
.
They’re selling a Porsche for $100? What a deal!
.
.
This could go either way… because axes will most definitely grant access.
.
.
If the wax breaks into La Boheme during dinner, fine. Otherwise? Please, buy a dictionary.
.
.
I can’t even.
.
.
This made me chuckle, but judging by the price… it might be a fake.
.
.
Damn, the poor man’s Tardis.
.
.
I have a cat, therefor I am inundated with stupid cat product advertisements.
This week?
.
.
Cat capped aviators may look stupid, but at least they’re well read.
.
.
I am not yet at the time of life where I need to sit on a donut. And a smiling cat donut? I hope I’m never there…
.
.
For the love of all that’s holy, no. I can’t think of a more horrifying, undignified, soul sucking experience to force upon your feline than a taco costume.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten agrees…. and will shred any human who comes near him with that abomination.
.
River's world.....
