IN THE SNAIL MAIL YESTERDAY...

.

Well, The Mrs. gets all kinds of catalogs in the snail mail.  I'm not really sure why, but she gets some odd junk.

Yesterday, she received a dead tree, four color catalog from ASHRO!

Now...not one model in the ASHRO catalog in any way even somewhat resembles The Mrs.  

They got an online catalog dealie that might clue you in to what I'm sayin' (without me having to type it out).

Anyway, within the catalog that was received by snail mail, there was this REALLY BITCHIN' offer to purchase a figurine from some "Hamilton Collection Agency," or something.  And, not just ANY figurine, neither!

NOPE!  

A Michelle Obama Ambassador of Grace Figurine!

I think I might buy one.  According to the offer, you don't even have to send but just $15 up front...and then just send 'em your name and address, and they'll trust you for the rest of the money!  

Now...HOW COOL IS THAT?

(As always click on 'em to get the BIG PICTURE).



I think Imma get one, before they're all sold out.  According to the ad, there are only 95 days of "limited castings" of this bitchin' figurine!

They're hand-painted, with glitter, and junk, too!



I know it's a little early to be thinking about Christmas gifts, but y'all might want to get ahead of the rush on this one!

Don't bother to thank me for the tip.

I live to serve.

  1. Hand applied glitter, I don't think you could go wrong with that. I think it would make a great gift for Kartman . . and Mr. & Mrs. SIGIS . .

  9. I was a twisted little kid who liked to melt plastic army men into grotesque shapes. Not sure why that memory comes springing back to mind.

    1. Dangit, Buck! There is a "strict limit of two per order."

      Sigh.

    1. You are SO out of luck. Buck got the last one...

      Try eBay, though.

  13. Maybe Buck will sell his.

    1. Not a chance. I know Buck, and I'm pretty sure he plans to will it to one of his grandchirrens.

      He don't need the money (even though it would bring a fabulous price as a collector's item). He's more about passing along fambly air-loomz.

    2. You're right, yanno? I'm thinkin' that plate sold out almost imm-me-jidly. So the kids will have a SERIOUS air-loom when I kick it. You should call SN1 (or SN2, depending on how the fight turns out) and ask him in a couple o' years.

  14. In what way does The Mrs Andy not resemble any of the gals in that catalog? I looked and looked but didn't listen to their music player, so it that it? Mrs. Andy can't sing?

    What do I win for guessing this?

  15. Y'know...try as I might, I just could NOT come up with one valid, sound reason to expend the few paltry dollars for a figurine of such dubious antecedence.

    Now, in '08...and I will confess to this...I did buy the figurine of the election year. Yes, I did: I bought a Hillary Nutcracker. Really. Honest. It still makes me laugh.
