i installed the $6.50 fake security camera (http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm/terms/12063) in my guest bathroom.
I particularly like the inflatable Moose head. Those damn things really get in the way……especially if they are attached to a Moose body as well. You’re trying to watch TV and the bloody Moose is in the way. I’ll tell ya, the number of times I have said “What we really need is an inflatable Moose head” and now wham!
I may get a couple, one for the car.
The nice thing about your inflatable moose head is that it is deflatable as well.
NIce observation, Sheila….Mmmmmm, feeling slightly silly, how did I miss that one!
Now it has two uses, so even more of a bargain.
What, the magnetic stirrer?
This one is kind of sweet:
Rocky Picture Show
Our “Rocks & Minerals” poster from Roylco® is a full-color, 17″ x 22″ illustration of (49) different rocky friends, from amphibolite to talc schist. Illustrations are approx 1″ to 1-1/2″ and carry brief descriptions, locations and uses for each rock or mineral.
Our “rocky friends”. Cool.
“Locations and uses for each rock or mineral” is kinda groovy, too.
Each rock.
Or mineral.
Our rocky friends. Ignorant, sentimental, and metaphoric.
Yes, it’s the uses really, isn’t it?
Altogether Aristotelian.
