Weird Wednesday: October 12, 2005

ww

Weird Wednesday is when I look up some weird auctions on eBay and share them with y’all for fun.

I haven’t gotten any suggestions in a long time, so this week it’s…a bunch of unrelated yet crazy things :-) If you do want to email me a suggestion for a WW theme, my email is lauriembarak@yahoo.com.

Flying Pig Hat
Have you ever heard the term “When pigs fly”? Well now you can make it happen.”This new adult-sized hat has a velour cap and a stuffed head and legs,” writes the Seller. “Pulling on the chin strap makes the wings flap.” Cute idea for the pig lover in your family or a Halloween costume.

Canadian Mouse Pad
This is especially for my best friend, Kat, who’s from Canada. It’s a mouse pad that reads, “Not only am I perfect, I’m Canadian, too!” The Seller of this item has many other items with this statement on it, including mugs, hats, bags and t-shirts.

It’s really great, eh?

Armadillo Lamp
This is way ugly. It looks like someone found a deceased armadillo and took it to a taxidermist that’s also an electrician. I’m not really sure who would want this, or how the Seller acquired it, but they say you can find anything on eBay, you can find this, too.

Shocking!

Fart Jar
“This is a clay jar with lid that I got in highschool as a gag gift,” writes the Seller. “I used to be really gassy and a friend bought this for me to “store” my farts for later. This would be a great gift for that gassy somone in your life.” You don’t say.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt!

Vintage Enamel Neon Advertising Letter Sign – Red “O”
If you’re an Ohio State or Oklahoma fan, this may just be the crowning touch to your football themed basement haven. It’s a big red metal “O” that originally had neon on the front. “I have several other letters on eBay now so you can buy them and make up your own name,” writes the Seller. “They all measure about 13″x18″, and are made of metal with an enameled surface.” O-kay then.

o
O my goodness.

Turbine Jet Engine
This auction is for a Williams WR-27 turbine engine. The Seller indicates it could be used as a starter for your go-kart or motorcycle. Could also for an airplane, generator or if you really want to impress the neighbors, use it for your leaf blower or to melt the snow off your driveway.

Blowing hot air.

And that’s your Weird Wednesday for October 12, 2005.
