LOL!!! Curiosity would probably get the better of me and I'd peak. Maybe you can give it to a friend to keep at their house until Christmas?? If you decide to open it, let us know what it is!!

 

[Brisully]

OPen it, and if you don't like it......

REGIFT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry it took so long to reply--DH and DS had hockey last night and didn't get home until after 10:00.

Anyway ...O.M.G!!!!!!!!!!! I think we have a winner for the all-time most bizarre gift. This beats the Weasel Ball from last year hands down.

Drum roll please........................................................

It's a big plastic rooster that is supposed to sit on your counter or table and it sings!! It came with 4 plastic discs, each with a different genre of music. They are:

1. Old Standbys--with such gems as I've Been Workin' on the Railroad, Bicycle Built for Two etc.

2. Disco Fever--with Night Fever, Last Dance, Turn the Beat Around, etc.

3. It's Country Time!--with Achy Breaky Heart, You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Lucille, etc.

4. The Classics--with My Way, New York New York, Volare, Aint That a Kick in the Head, etc.

The beauty of it all is that it sings them all in a ROOSTER voice! A total of 24 beautiful songs all massacred by a rooster!

I just have one question...WHERE DOES ONE BUY SOMETHING LIKE THIS? It's going to take me until Christmas to think of the appropriate thank you for this one.

 

[buzzlady]

OMG!! That's just too funny. Not sure where you would buy something like that.

 

[KristiKelly]

Uhhh, speechless!!!

Now you can start a new thread for the perfect response/thank you & the perfect spot in your house for such a wonderful gift.

 

[tkyes]

it sounds adorable

 

[stinkerbelle]

omg
(btw - it IS possible to snort yogurt through your nose - I just did.)



Aren't you glad you opened it??

now re-wrap it and somehow lose the box in the next 7 months. (heheh - just kidding)

good luck coming up with a thank you for that!

More importantly, how can you get rid of it?

 

[lilboo]

How will MIL EVER top that one?

 

[stinkerbelle]

do you have children?
I'm thinking on December 25th...around 3 in the afternoon, get your kids hopped up on sugar and let them "accidently" knock into the table it's on.



that's why you have kids - right? to have them do the dirty work for ya? heheh

 

[Mimi Q]

Bless your heart. I hope she doesn't expect to see that displayed in your home.
