I was at Aldi this morning. It’s a discount grocery store. They’re very basic, warehouse style stores, but they sell a damn fine can of corn for 29 cents. Bread is 50¢.
I buy a lot of stuff there - LOL
They carry odd lots and discontinued merchandise too, so you find Halloween costumes there in November.
I laughed out loud at the display I spotted this morning though…Britney Spears perfume. Yup, the stuff that she has those nonsensical commercials for, that JUST CAME OUT. I mean, Aldi makes Walmart look like Macys, so that gives you an idea of what a high-end product she is peddling - LOL
It just made me laugh. I am easily amused.
I also get a laugh from yard decorations gone awry. Saw a Santa and reindeer, made of solid molded plastic, in front of a house. The wind had blown Santa over though, and he was lying across the back of the reindeer, Since he was unbalanced, the wind rocked him back and forth. It gave the appearance of Santa gettin’ it on, deerie-style.
Furthermore, there is a large inflatable snow globe thing down in town that has made me laugh for weeks now.
Inside the inflated clear plastic spheroid (thank you Thesaurus - lol) is an inflated white snowman. There is an air pump that circulates fake snow, to give the appearance of a real snow globe. Except they set it on a bit of a slope, so the pump doesn’t spew the white flakes up to the top of the clear outer globe, but instead spurts them out about butt-high of the snowman. He looks like he has severe flatulence. We absolutely roar with laughter every time we go by it. We even laugh when we see properly working ones, just thinking of Farting Frosty.
I am easily amused.
I am going through the ol’ blogroll, to send each of you good wishes. I know I don’t visit often, and I apologize for that. I wish I could, as I truly enjoy hearing about your lives.
And just for giggles, here are the latest additions to my funny t-shirts:
Too subtle? LOL
So…have any of you seen some funny Christmas stuff?

The farting snowman is priceless! Yeah, I’ve seen some funny stuff. I’m doing Christmas links for the next seven days to get it all in, besides the nine Christmas posts I’ve already done. Its overwhelming!

LMAO Marti. I always laugh when the wind tips Santa over, and we say “Too much eggnog for Santa!” But nothing as funny as the Santa bestiality you described, lol.

Have a very Merry Christmas.

The Talking Jesus doll looked a bit creepy.
Funny in a way simply because I could never see a child getting excited about a doll that quotes the book of Revelations.
I did pick up a little joke toy for a friend of mine: a reindeer that dispenses brown jelly beans. You lift the tail and a little brown package falls out of the ass. As I said, it’s a joke (and funny as hell) The tagline for the toy is “Have a poopin Christmas!”
Watch your mailbox, the CD should be there tomorrow or Friday.
Merry Christmas, Marti.

Marti m’dear you are cracking me up!!!! I LOVE the subliminal message experiment. I may just have a t-shirt made with that on it. Maybe that will get me a date for New Year’s Eve.
Merry Christmas ;-D

A flatulent snowman. I love it!

LMAO!!! Well, the snowglobe one really gave me a case of the giggles.
And I can’t believe that Britney’s perfume is in Aldi’s. I know all about the Aldi’s and you described it perfectly!
Have a wonderful Christmas!

Cumin, Pepper, Thyme, Rosemary, and Salt say “Hello”!
(Seasons’ Greetings)
Britney’s perfume should have used the tagline “Stank To Cover Up Your Skank”.
I look forward to getting back to blogging next month and reading your blog regularly again!

The farting snowman is REALLY funny! (Guess I’m easily amused, too!)
Just stopping by to wish you a very Merry Xmas and hoping that you have a FANTASTICALLY successful and happy 2007.

I hate those inflatable globes–and they are everywhere. Speaking of overthetop and tacky: Two doors down, these people have a globe, lights all over the place, santa on the roof, assorted lighted figurines, and something that plays music, except that you can hardly hear the music because of the loud humming noise coming from what I think is a generator. I live in fear of a brownout in this whole area.
I saw a large globe in front of a townhouse with a yard that was barely big enough to accomodate it.
I love those tshirt slogans.
Merry Christmas!!

OMG Marti, I love your sense of humor!! It’s wickedly fun like mine. Sometimes we see humor where others only see aggrevation (or nothing at all)! Your T-shirts are adorable! I love the SEX one, I need it for my hubby! LOL! If you happen across my blog again, you will see that I have moved and really miss our ‘little’ town. Well,
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

ROFL! I have some laughs over at my blog, and I read a very funny post by Voodoo about her own decoration debacle (she’s in my blogroll - go here http://www.voodoosroom.com/index.php/index.php?paged=2 and scroll to the bottom - it’s called An Ill Reindeer).
Merry Christmas, Marti!

ALDI’S!!!! That’s not something we have around here in the DC metro area. This saddens me - I used to shop there for discount grocery items and the occasional discontinued t-shirt thingie.
Did the Britney perfume come with underwear? Maybe she needs to go to Aldi’s to buy some.
I need to hit that place the next time I go back home. A friend of my sister’s actually managed one of those joints in Peoria, Illinois. Unfortunately, that meant doing everything but cashier work - stocking shelves, working in the storerooms, customer service. All the cashiers do is ring it up. He hated it and quit after six months. Now he’s an insurance appraiser. Who’da thunk?

Santa got romantic with the reindeer
Out in our front yard on Christmas Eve
Surely this was not the meaning implied,
By the phrase, “It’s better to give than to receive.”
(to the tune of “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”)
