Underpants for the hands and other unspeakables among the holiday horrors for presents...

Worst Gift From SNL

[Happy Rain]

I bet if momma was to wash your mouth out with those you wouldn't cuss.

[Madame Dufarge]

As with any high-quality item, the user must approach with respect and strive for a level of proficiency.

Or cover with Saran Wrap.

[GunsAndBibles]

Every year I get something useless from one sister and bro-in-law

Yeah, one year I got the -coffee filter dispenser- and the sad thing was, they really thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

[Revolting cat!]

Solution:

[SomeCallMeTim]

One year, my mother ‘gave’ my dad a large wooden Coventry Candle... you know, the wooden ones with candles that spin..

Dad REFUSED to accept it, and we ALL had agood laugh!

[SonOfDarkSkies]

The worst gift, hands down, is that iPod loaded with his speeches that Obama gave the Queen!

[Allegra]

The only way you get skid marks on those skivvies is if you run out of TP.

Well then, Sheryl Crow might find them useful...

[death2tyrants]

[Dallas59]

The worst is forgetting the reason for the season....

[danielmryan]

But then Queen Victoria smoked pot for menstrual cramps...

One of the reasons why libertarians are so hepped up on drug-law repeal is because there were no drug laws when laissez-faire ran high. None.

Regarding opiates, Paul Johnson noted in Birth of the Modern that the typical clientele for liquid opium were middle-class women of a certain age. Incredible as it sounds now, there may have been Woman's Christian Temperence Movement meeting where the party favor was lanaudum.

Bizarre, I know, but it shows how profoundly times have changed. To make the scene even more bizarre, such women would not have been hypcrites by the lights of the time. No social ills accompanied opium use back then, unlike alcohol back then.

Merry Speculative History Day.

Merry Christmas!

[Churchillspirit]

LOL!

Merry Christmas, Allegra.

Take care of yourself out there.

[Churchillspirit]

The worst gift, hands down, is that iPod loaded with his speeches that Obama gave the Queen!

Followed closely by the bunch of DVDs he gave PM Brown - who is legally blind.

[Happy Rain]

In John Wayne's last movie,”The Shootist” his character guzzled laudanum to offset the pain of his terminal cancer.
It was not a prescription but a recommendation by Doctor Jimmy Stewart.

[Huntress]

IIRC, the DVDs weren’t even for the right region.

[danielmryan]

Yeah...times really change.

I think what pushed things over the edge was the introduction of heroin in 1898. It proved to be too strong and too addictive.

Bayer Company sold both. Strangely, there was more hope for heroin as a "wonder drug" than for aspirin. If you love history, you gotta love irony.

[Churchillspirit]

LOL. You are correct. Wouldn’t even play in the UK.

[Happy Rain]

Heroin addicts,if affluent and thus assured of a clean and easily acquired “product” can live long and healthy lives as the drug posseses no true toxic properties other than the addiction itself.
But the opiates,like THC,often makes the users too content and thus uninterested in industrious pursuits so they tend to become entitlement junkies and thus solid liberal Democrat voters.

Reasons enough to make drug crimes capital offenses don't you think?

[SonOfDarkSkies]

I can forgive narcissism, particularly when it has some basis in excellent performance, but malicious tackiness and tastelessness...never!

And Obama isn't just a pathological narcissist without any apparent justification for such...he's tacky and tasteless in a mean-spirited kind of way.

When he returned the Churchill bust, I wanted to kick his teeth in and snap his skinny neck...in a nice way, of course.;-)
