Weird Wednesday: June 1, 2005

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it’s time once again for …

WEIRD WEDNESDAY

Where I look up some weird auctions on eBay and share them with y’all for fun.

I will tell you, dear readers; it’s been very difficult for yours truly to find some funny/weird/odd things on eBay to share with you. Lately it seems like all I can find on the weird front are are pieces of burnt toast with cartoon faces scraped in them, fart machines and things that would make an adult film star blush.

I did manage to round up a few items for your amusement. Check ‘em out.

  • Tired of the rotten air in your area? How about a nice bag full of clean Wisconsin air. Yes, that’s right, all the way from the great state of Wisconsin to your door, a nice big white trash bag full of Wisconsin air, collected just at the moment you ask for.

    You’re on the city bus or train and a person with bad B.O. sits right next to you. Well just scoop some FRESH CLEAN WISCONSIN AIR out of your bag and place it in a lunch baggie and when the person sits next to you open your bag and SNIFF. OR how about when you go to bed and your spouse rips a good one instead of yelling at him just open your bag of FRESH CLEAN WISCONSIN AIR and it won’t seem so bad.

    If nothing else, you can’t help but smile at the cute little girl with the bag filling it up with air.

  • Not really weird but a very cool idea for kids on the Fourth of July. Instead of sparklers, which might injure children or pets, try out these nifty glow sticks.

    You will receive 1 tube of 25 Dazzle Glow glowing light sticks. Each tube contains a mix of five colors – yellow, pink, green, orange, and blue. Your order will also contain 25 removable connectors with n so you can wear the light sticks around your neck or hang them on things.

    The Seller also offers links to other glow stick auctions including glowing bracelets and necklaces. How do they work? “Inside the glowing light sticks are two chemicals that emit light or glow when they are mixed together”, writes the Seller. “Inside the glowing light sticks is a thin glass tube, when you bend it for the first time, you break the inner glass tube. This mixes the two chemicals together. Just shake it up and presto – it starts glowing like magic!”

    These really are a blast for the Fourth of July, concerts, picnics, any evening gathering. Fun for children and adults. Link them together and gently swing them for a neat effect. Twist them together to make fun glowing jewelry. I love these!

  • Have a doctor, nurse, phlebotomist or EMT in the family? Get them some of these fake syringe pens. The auction is for a red pen with black ink. Starting at 99 cents for bidding and only 10 cents for shipping. These are really a cute joke gift for the medical professional in your life.
  • Coolest and grossest auction for kids!!! It’s the BRAIN-SHAPED GELATIN MOLD!! Yes, this one is also one of my favorites. Absolutely hilarious, gross, funny and even educational, the brain-shaped mold can hold a variety of things such as frozen juice, ice or flavored gelatin. The picture on the auction indicates there’s a recipe on the back so you can “make your own brain food out of gelatin dessert mix!” Great for Halloween parties, jokes, gross-outs. Kids love it and so do adults (including me!).
  • Tell someone you love them spelled out in…fake dog poo. Yes, it’s the alphabet poo, from your friends at brownfido.com.

    Some people call this the Best and Most Funny Novelty on the Planet and is called by many names in different parts of the world like: ca ca, caca, poopoo, poo poo, po po, feces, turd, stool, droppings, stinky stuff, smart pills, guano, road apples, turds, loaf, pellet, unusual fido offerings, a smelly present from the dog, doggie surprise, pooper scooper trash, and a great fun gift for those you love and those you hate. These are all American and made in the USA. No dogs were injured or hurt in the making of this product.

    You can order the numbers 1 through zero or A to Z. Spell out THE DOG LOVES YOU, NO DUMPING or even I LOVE YOU. “Make your house look just like Ozzy Osbourne’s house with dog poop all over the place!” raves the Seller. I think it’s kind of funny, yet, kind of sick. But there’s no accounting for taste, right? :-)

  • That’s your Weird Wednesday report for June 1, 2005.
