Why Did You Buy Me That?

Who hasn't gotten a ridiculous gift over the years?

I had a sister-in-law in my past life that was the QUEEN of weird gifts. Like the see-through bathrobe in neon green she made my wasband; never did figure out what the hell that fabric was.

Or the broken plastic clock shaped like a piano? That was spiff.

I am only picking on her because - well - because she's in Missouri and she's an ex sister-in-law.

Check this out! Hilarious!

Thank you deb-oh-rah for this. I laughed myself tearless.

Ha funny Debroah - she's an ex-sister in law and live in Missouri; two good reasons to pick on her. Good luck with the interview. Hope you get a private plane.

I love that site - I could spend hours on it looking at all those crappy gifts. I've gotten some duds but nothing like some of these (nor the see-through green bathrobe - yuck!)

I've had some presents over the years that I've asked "why" silently... but never something as awful as those you've described!

Sent the link to a few friends.

I'm still trying to get over the fact that she 'made' a bathrobe. Who makes bathrobes? And for men?
That website is hilarious! :-)

A frog purse? Why would you want that? Even if you LIKED frogs???

The worst gift I ever got was Norman Rockwell border paper (the kind you put on a wall where it meets the ceiling). I got it from my dad because "I know you love Norman Rockwell". Personally, I think he got it to piss mom off because I live in her house (as if I'd actually USE it). lol!

Speakin' of laughed, that "two in the Busch" line was pretty funny !

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, Deb.

Am I the only one who thinks the fly swatter is both cool and practical?

Luckily, I come from a long line of family cheap ass that won't spend a penny on something good much less something silly.

SO, I never have stories to share.

Can't even imagine having the cash to spare on that.

Merry Christmas, to my wonderful bloggy buddy.

Peace to you in the new year.

Karen - Secretly, I want one of those.

David - Missouri used to feel far away, not anymore yes?

Pamela - It was a lovely bathrobe I have to say. Nope!

Lo Lo - Ask your dad about it! LOL!

Ca88 - You are a lucky girl.

SG - It is!

Sara - Who wears bathrobes? Well, that's not true. I wear one out to the spa tub.

JJ - so you didn't hang it? ;)

Heff - Once in a while I get a zinger. Not often.

LBB - Ha!

Empress - you just may be the luckiest of all in addition to the fairest in the land.

I should have never checked out the site. Now I have to go get the rest of the family so we can sit for hours going through it at the kitchen table. Now that is real down-home Okie fun!
