Donut | Wednesday, December 25, 2002 - 09:27 pm     Just curious. In everyone's mall wanderings and gift receiving and giving, what caught your eye this year? I didn't shop much, but I guess the wackiest thing i saw were Osbourne slammers. They are like the size of Beanie Babies but are Ozzy, Jack, Kelly and Sharon, and when you slam them on a table they talk. Ozzy says " I refuse to clean up another turd...I'm a rock star, you know!" I also saw this really ugly toy called Bobby Q. Its a preschool barbeque grill that has a scary face that moves and speaks.. I did like the included talking condiments tho. like the ketchup that says.. 'its not done til theres ketchup on the bun!' (hey, Ketchuplover, it made me think of you ) |
Hummingbird | Thursday, December 26, 2002 - 10:56 am     J.C. Penneys had those tacky big-head, singing celebity dolls - Ray Charles at the piano, Bing Crosby, Satchmo Armstrong, Sylvester Stallone, etc. I didn't see anybody buying them. Bet they got stuck with quite a few of them. Maybe someone thought they'd be this year's "Singing Bass." |

Willsfan | Thursday, December 26, 2002 - 08:16 pm     I got the (Meade) Intergrated Binocular & Digital Camera. What a bummer! The software loaded beautifully and the power cord from the camera downloaded the photos into my computer beautifully. Everything was way too simple and fun. Right? Wrong Murphy's Law always works in my house... the camera itself DID NOT work. Only the top third of the photo shows. We tried everything. They will have another one in Monday and we will exchange it. Thing is, I was going to buy a much, much expensive one "after" Christmas and now I can't or his feelings will really be hurt. |
Cablejockey | Friday, December 27, 2002 - 09:06 pm     Wandering thru Walmart last week I did see something wacky. Some upbeat Christmas song was starting up on the p.a. and a woman pushing a cart past me suddenly kicked her heels together, did a little dance, then just continued on her way as if nothing had happened!! I would have thought I'd imagined it, escept for a Walmart employee who was behind her and laughing. |
Goddessatlaw | Saturday, December 28, 2002 - 06:30 am     My younger brother got a wristwatch with a TV remote control built into it. The other men in the family were ooh-ing and aah-ing and conspiring to get their own. |
