What a Croc(k)!

[Chipperdini]

The other day I was searching Walmart.com for some inexpensive (candy) lollipops.

My search pulled up THIS for a mere $99.95!

And look: There’s more to choose from if you don’t care for the pink!

There are rave reviews:

''Best New Product!'' - SuperZoo 2008
''Best of Show'' - H.H. Backer Christmas Show 2008

And it comes with a lifetime warranty too!

What this all has to do with lollipops* is anyone’s guess.

Mine?

This product’s for suckers.

Even with the free shipping.



*Yes, I noticed that the (Pink) Lollipop color triggered the return. Humor me, if you will, all ye crazy Crocs lovers. But if you buy (or have bought) a “Croc” bed for your pet… well, like Thumper’s father told him, “Quaker’s Meeting has begun.” Or something like that. I know an old kitty/doggie who lived in a shoe...

Ooh! You could buy two of them, and put them on your feet. You know, like toddlers do with grown-up shoes!

At $100 a pop, what's a DISer to do? Buy a giant pair of "Crocs" or put the $200 towards a dinner at:

Decisions, decisions...

Probably should start a thread for others to help me make up my already made up mind.

If you click on the "detailed description " you will see at the end it gives other colors, and one of them is "lollipop pink" so, since the word "lollipop" was in the description the search selected it.

No lime green!

We interrupt this reply to remind Chip that Thumper's father told him that sarcasm on the DIS is a ban-worthy offense. Don't make us break out the duct tape!

We now return you to your regular thread reading.

I will simply pretend the quoted post was a figment of my imagination, lest I go mad(der).

 

[Chipperdini]

Clearly someone didn't research their market very well, eh? Well, they won't be seeing a dime from me, that's for sure!

 

[kellydizfan]

That is cool - wish I had the $100 to pay for it. I think the small dog and my 2 cats would love it.

 

[All American]

I have a dog considered to be an extra large breed. I'd hate to see the size of that bed...

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

That is hilarious! And you KNOW the cat would never go near it if you bought it!

I'm not sure where you were going with the Quaker's Meeting comment.

"Quaker meeting has begun.
No more laughing, no more fun.
If you show your teeth or tongue,
you must pay a forfeit."

I'm still trying to decide if your reference to this game in regards to anyone who purchased the amazing $99 shoe bed for the cat is remarkably astute or remarkably inept.

BTW, I don't have the amazing $99 cat bed for our cat, nor would I consider purchasing it. Our cat prefers our bed to any bed we've ever gotten for her.

This poster makes quite a few movie references in their posts, and I have yet to understand one of them! No offense, OP, I just don't get them!

Hi Chipperdini!!

99.00 for a giant rubbery shoe? What a croc!!


Plus I hope I never visist anyone who's got one of those in their LR. I know I'd LOL and sneak a pic for you!!

I got three of the rustic cat scratching sections from

http://www.angelicalcat.com/stackem_cat_perch.shtml

took weeks to get it shipped from Florida to the UK (but oddly enough harder to get shipping organised from docks to house)

hrh_disney_queen:

I concur.
(I have three cats. )

No offense, OP, I just don't get them!

This seems to happen a lot on windy days. How weird. Odd, even. Hmm.

with the Quaker's Meeting comment.

Chasing rabbit trails and falling down rabbit holes, to be sure. Helps me brave open stairs. (Time will tell re Tower of Terror.)

"Quaker meeting has begun.

Our Meetings were a bit different.

This is the curious albino bunny that called to mind the Quaker bit. Dunham could be a fun and effective means too, but perhaps his puppet’s too politically deadly for the DIS.

Ah, another with too much Styx in her ‘Tunes. Does that make us two (lime green) peas in an iPod?

Are you a gamblin’ gal? Some Inside-Her tips:
1. The smart money’s never on astuteness.
2. I’ve heard it said that “a little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.” If there was any emphasis on the “little,” I surely missed it.
3. Chip and sock monkeys are virtually either super-silly or super-serious (but never supercilious unless the letters are remarkably available, and remarkably arranged). If the post is short, reading is fun-duh-mental. If doubt remains after reading, I suggest a coin flip. If the post is long, just dig out a dime from the get-go and skip the reading part.

Or, you could simply remember these three words if choosing to click on a Chip post:

Are you sure? It’s okay; you can confess. I’ve taken what Thumper’s father’s doctor told him to heart -- pretty practical advice for impatience and inpatients alike, methinks -- and will refrain from casting aspersions on your catnap Croc of choice. Well, unless you got the Sucker Pink. Best for me not to make any promises regarding that one.

Our cat prefers our bed to any bed we've ever gotten for her.

We’ve never bothered to buy any cat cots, having previously played Finicky Fickle Feline with other pet products.

Buckalew! Hiya! Nice to “see” you. You’re the reason I posted yesterday. Happened to notice that you submitted a thread, so I posted on it with hopes that you’d drop back in and say “howdy.” Hope y’all are okay and dry out soon in TN.

Way I figure it, if my feet don’t get Crocs, then neither do my felines’. I mean, just ‘cause they eat better than me doesn’t mean I have to pamper their little pitty-pats too.

A pic would be purr-fect. If I saw one in someone’s living room, I’d probably be tempted to dress it up with some giant, homemade whatever-those-Croc-shoes-decoration-thingies-are-called thing-a-ma-jigs (Jibbitz??).

Ah, but do your cats use them or turn up their noses at 'em? Mine would take one glance and maybe a sniff or two, and then post them on Kitty Kraiglist.

 

[Buckalew11]

Aww...I missed that yesterday. Yeah, I was...well, uh...I'll let it remain a mystery. Just like you!!

I read through your repsones and now I need to go to bed. My brain is tired. lol
