How ''bout Cosmo Merman? Unfortunatley, Clint Cowboy Merman is sold out... awww shucks. I''m gonna need that cosmo. Cheers!

If he sang the YMCA when you pushed a button I''d buy it just for the sake of my personal amusement!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I had the same thought!!!

Struth!! So it does!!

 

[sunnyd]

i often wonder who draws these things up, takes them to their boss, who says YES!!! make me 1000 army mermen to sell so people can hang him on their christmas trees!!! seriously?!?!?!

i think i read that you can''t make the ornament, but my siblings and i always love to embarrass my mom by hanging all the strange things we made in school right in front. how about an ice cream cone hatted styrofoam ball with a face? no? a sheep made out of those beads that you iron and melt together hung with gold pipe cleaner? we also have a trio of gnomes that are hung promiscuously.

my favorite part of christmas!!!

Sunny, I made an ornament last year, it was perfect considering I''m so uncreative, but I was told I broke the rules, which were never established, in doing so and that I needed to buy an ornament, not make one.

There are quite a few merman (why? IDK!) Here is Clint Cowboy who is sold out ''til February (they''ve actually sold AND they''re actually going to make more?!). If you just can not wait ''til Feb, he''s on ebay... along with his friends Mojito Merman, Doctor Fish Merman, Mr. Martini Merman, etc.

 

[sera]

I guess it''s quite unfair of me not to include the mermaids....

Molly Mermaid

 

[sera]

And they have other lines like the birthstone ladies...

Young man, there''s no need to feel down.

I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.

I said, young man, ''cause you''re in a new town

There''s no need to be unhappy.



Young man, there''s a place you can go.

I said, young man, when you''re short on your dough.

You can stay there, and I''m sure you will find

Many ways to have a good time.



It''s fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

It''s fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.



They have everything for you men to enjoy,

You can hang out with all the boys ...



It''s fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

It''s fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.



You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,

You can do whatever you feel ...



Young man, are you listening to me?

I said, young man, what do you want to be?

I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.

But you got to know this one thing!



No man does it all by himself.

I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,

And just go there, to the y.m.c.a.

I''m sure they can help you today.



It''s fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

It''s fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.



They have everything for you men to enjoy,

You can hang out with all the boys ...



It''s fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

It''s fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.



You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,

You can do whatever you feel ...



Young man, I was once in your shoes.

I said, I was down and out with the blues.

I felt no man cared if I were alive.

I felt the whole world was so tight ...



That''s when someone came up to me,

And said, young man, take a walk up the street.

There''s a place there called the y.m.c.a.

They can start you back on your way.



It''s fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

It''s fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.



They have everything for you men to enjoy,

You can hang out with all the boys ...



Y-m-c-a ... you''ll find it at the y-m-c-a.



Young man, young man, there''s no need to feel down.

Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.



Y-m-c-a ... you''ll find it at the y-m-c-a.



Young man, young man, there''s no need to feel down.

Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.



Y-m-c-a ... just go to the y-m-c-a.



Young man, young man, are you listening to me?

Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?

Gee I cant wait for Gin and Tonic then!!


On a serious note..I have a hideous clown ornament I will GIVE you...seriously...take it...I have no where idea where it came from...funny how you just accumulate things....

This clip-on onion boy running away from home is what put me over the edge! I''d gone from quietly chuckling to all out, tears running from my eyes, fits of laughter. My dogs are a little scared!

And WHAT is up with that head? Is it an onion or what?! Good thing art does not always imitate life... let''s hope!

 

[Lorelei]

Yes Sera, that delightful ornament is supposed to be an onion boy

....I wonder if a Pscoper bought him???

SDL~ Did you know those lyrics off the top of your head??

I have to admit, I''ve never known all the words to that song until now. I''m seeing several double entendres.

I almost didn''t believe it was actually an Xmas ornament until I saw the part that clarified to sellers that the item was *real* and was *actually for sale* LOL.

 

[KimberlyH]

Just a quick update, I picked my ornament, thanks you guys. Oh, and also thanks to you it was no easy feat, too many good choices. I ended up buying the "ugly" ornament that says just that, thanks so much, Harleigh, for finding it. The literal interpretation was too good to pass up (oh and my fear that if I ordered something off of eBay, which I am terrified of using, it wouldn''t arrive on time or there would be some other disaster). I''ll be back with pictures of my competitors after Christmas.

I LOVE this thread. I'm in Cali... can I come to the festivities too!


My favorites so far:

Lucky's bulldog --20.99??? Are they high?

Ebree's ugly creepy head thing for 9.99. Definitely hideous.

TG's yoga flamingo (which made me snort with laughter) and her ho ho horror (what were they thinking?)

Harleigh's redneck baby (I just stared in horrified fascination)

Of course, Gypsy! We're a 'more the merrier' sorta clan.

Thank you, kind Lady. I'd LOVE to attend! Of course I just realized that I will be on the OPPOSITE coast this Christmas and New Years. DANG IT!

Kimberly, I''m kicking myself for just now seeing this thread!

DH and headed down to San Diego last weekend for our gang''s annual ornament exchange. This tradition has been going on for about 12 years (since college), and it was always known as the "pornament" exchange as the twist was to contribute the trashiest ornament you could find. We''ve seen some hysterical ones over the years.

However, it may be time to retire this tradition, as a couple of folks now have kids and you can''t really hang those kinds of ornaments on the tree with the little ones around. Each year the selection of pornaments at the party has gotten slim- I think we only had 4 out of 15 this year!

Anyway, it may be time to go with an ugliest ornament competition for 2008!
