We were putting up our tree last night, and I came across the ugliest ornament ever. The Prospector of the Old West.

Now this image doesn't do it justice. It's HUGE and takes up almost an entire branch.

The best is the companion one that is a guy on the back of a horse with a shotgun. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a guy with a shotgun. Nothing at all.

But "You can earn 14 Grandmas Under the mattress CASH on this product!"!!!!! Surely that's reason enough to buy it

No. It doesn't need a friend.

I like how some of the links they had went to Bronner's. That's a Christmas store in MI that supposedly imports its Christmas items from all over the world.

The worst ornament I've ever seen was a Mr. Hankey, the Christmas poo, from South Park: http://www.gearlog.com/images/MrHankey.jpg A friend gave us one years ago and it's remained in the bottom of the Christmas box... I don't know what to do with it.
I Love it! You should leave Mr. Hanky on there! Does it talk? That would be even better if it said "Hiddy-Ho!" each time you walked past the tree

That is quite odd for an ornament. Looks more like it should be a figurine to me.

Well now I know what to get my Step-brother next Christmas!
He'd hang it on his wall or better yet from the ceiling fan in his bedroom.

No, I guess he's more like a stuffy except he has a loop for hanging. I'm kind of glad he doesn't talk! Sorry, I don't believe he'll fly on the tree this year. Our nine-year-old did the decorations and she's not going to want a big poo with a Santa hat on the tree because the colors are all wrong.

I LOve the "Redneck Baby with Buck Teeth" ornament! Perhaps they could re-name it, "Child of Brittney"?


Also,the eBay snowman "crafted from organic horse-poop" (how could poop NOT be organic??!!?). And it's "hand-selected". Somehow, that choice of wording just makes me queasy...
