You never know. . .

Right before Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, my DH and I held sort of a contest to see who could find the weirdest thing up for auction on EBay.
Folks, there is some weird a** s*** on EBay. At the time we found a taxidermist in Louisiana who specialized in posing animals in, ahem, compromising positions. DH wanted to give one of these as a wedding gift to one special couple. I resisted and won out. After the hurricane, the taxidermist seemed to go out of business and that helped reduce the number of stuffed toads doing the nasty that reside around our house.
So tonight I had a few minutes and since we had just talked about the "weird" EBay contest the other night I decided to give it a shot. Here's what I got:
An Imaginary Friend.

I'm going to stop here because I'm not sure if the links will work once the auctions end. This is all just getting too weird for me.

But if you have spare time or you want some really. . .umm. . . "unique" gift ideas, here's my recommendation.

Seriously? I could have spent this time reading or something. Even clipping my toenails would have been more productive. . . ..sigh. . .
