Weird Wednesday: July 20, 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 didn’t get any suggestions this week so I just found a bunch of goofy stuff. If you do have an idea for what you want to see on Weird Wednesday, email me at laurie.barak@gmail.com.
Do you live in Texas? Need some advertising? This Texas grandma will wear t-shirts advertising your business for 8 hours a day for one full year. The advertising has to be family-friendly, as grandma has 2 grandsons and a granddaughter on the way. She looks so sweet with her little Dachsund in her scooter basket!
Here’s a “Walk” sign, apparently from an airport. “This is one of the largest “Walk” signs made,” writes the Seller. The sign has been converted to a standard wall plug. Great gag gift or collectible for someone who likes cars or other traffic-related memorabelia.
Need a shoe model? Here’s a collection of vintage mannequin feet, the kind you see modeling hosiery, socks or shoes in department stores. Not sure where the Seller found these, but it’s kind of a funny auction.
Ah, the Bard. William Shakespeare. Writer of wonderful plays and poetry. Now you can have your own Bill – in the form of a plush doll. He comes dressed in leather pants and a vest, true to his time. This would make a fun gift for someone who enjoys theatre. The Seller has some other plush dolls including Leonardo DaVinci, George Washington Carver, Albert Einstein and Edgar Allen Poe. Too funny.
Do you have lots of remote controls? That’s dispicable! Here’s a cute Daffy Duck remote control holder. It fits over the arm of your favorite chair for easy access to “the clicker”. Super for cartoon fans!
Coming soon: a Weird Wednesday logo!!
That’s your Weird Wednesday report for July 20, 2005.
