I usually loathe those stupid inflatable Christmas decorations

Re: I usually loathe those stupid inflatable Christmas decorations

  • At least it's not from Homegoods.

    Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
  • I usually dislike them too but I want one to make up for the fact that I never had an actual Snoopy Sno Cone Machine.

    One of my neighbors must be jealous that they don't celebrate Christmas and can't participate in the awful inflatable fad. They had about 8 inflatables for Halloween, 1 for Thanksgiving, and 3 for Hanukah.

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
  • What's wrong with Homegoods?

  • I wanted one of those goddamn things SO HARD when I was little. ( the actual slusher thing, not the inflatable slusher c*cktease...)

  • Now if they had one of an Easy Bake Oven, I would sneak over to my Mom's house and put both on her front lawn with a sign that says "My Mommy didn't love me."  I still give her sh!t for not getting me either one of these for Christmas.

    I was trying to be judgmental like Christin, who taught us that you should never put anything you'd buy at Homegoods outside your house.

  • I think I like homegoods...but I am not that heavily into outdoor decor...

    oh, and full disclosure: I get a boner when I wank into tjmaxx. like...as soon as I pull into the lot, I develop a quickness of breath, and become all a-tingle with excitement.

  • I never got the snow cone machine either. Lame.

     

    Homegoods is like Marshalls or TJ Maxx but only decor/housewares. It's awesome.

  • I love homegoods. Ours is combined with Marshall's in the same store.
  • Ahh so like our HomeSense. Gotcha.
  • Remember the post where the girl was all "ohhheeeemgeeeeeee! It has been raining all day and we left out inflatable Xmas decoration outside. I was going to go home and lunch to bring them in but couldn't.  Do think they are ruined????"

  • YES! Last Christmas. When we were still trying to occupy a real Nest board on the sidebar menu. Maybe we should go back there.

  • That thing is awesome.  I, too, am bitter that I never got the Snoopy SnoCone Machine or the Easy Bake Oven I wanted.  I was such a tortured child.

  • I also usually hate them. My mom gave one to us a couple years ago and Will saw the box when we were getting out our Christmas decorations and begged us to take the penguin out of the box, so Lorne did.

    image

    Will named him Irving. Will loves Irving.

    image 

    I can't bring myself to get rid of him, though we have since convinced Will that since penguins live outside, Irving would probably like to live on our deck. Will now asks to go out on the deck to hug Irving.

    Your kid is too much.  My heart can't take it!  He's going to kill me.

  • Noisy, I am in love with Will and i also love Irving.

    So I just showed E the inflatable (we also loathe them) and he goes "does it make snow cones?"

    me: No, moron it is an iflatable lawn ornament

    E: "too bad, that would be awesome"

  • Will and Irving might be in competition with November and DeeWee for best friends on the board.
