Giant Stuffed Dog – $750
Henry needs a new home. He sits at about 6 feet high, and is cute as a button. Head comes off, and appendages unzip, but not very easily. Great conversation piece.
I’ll say it’s a great conversation piece! Just imagine the conversation you’ll have with your four-year-old when you have too many Manhattans one night and end up unzipping Henry’s head and running around the house with it yelling, “I beheaded Henry! I beheaded Henry!”
Or does that only happen in my house?
Is that $750.00? It would take something a lot stronger than Manhattans for someone to buy that thing. And why exactly does the head zip off? Is that to store tommy guns or smuggle illegal aliens over the border?
You could fit a lot of cocaine in there. Just sayin’.
I had Henry dogs when I was little. I had several sizes, but had no idea they got THAT big!
Oh my goodness. Didn’t I see Henry in that freaky sequence at the end of The Shining?
I love how the eyes seem to suck out one’s soul. I guess you unzip the appendages when it’s full of souls.
holy jumpin jesus, is that a 6 foot tall stuffed puppy dog? can i pay $800? do you take monopoly money?
Crash test doggy?
I have a feeling the next time I watch Donnie Darko I’m going to be picturing Frank wearing this … thing. Those soulless eyes, that oddly pink tongue sticking out of his chin, the utter lack of a mouth …
And I’ll have to sleep in the bathtub with the lights on and the door locked, because I’ll probably have nightmares.
:looks at pictures again:
Oh, yes; there will be nightmares.
Don’t think of what can come up a drain.
This dog is bigger than me, and it’s sitting.
The head and appendages come off.
I could easily remove the stuffing from inside, thereby allowing myself to crawl in it and manipulate its actions.
Best April Fools Day prank ever, anyone?
Well, that depends. Can you sit motionless for 45 minutes in a room full of chattering people, and then suddenly look at your watch, say something insane, stand up and leave the room? That would be awesome.
Let me set up a camera crew before you do. It would go viral on youtube. Except in Japan. They would swarm him for autographs and pictures.
Godzilla vs Henry!
He’d need to practice signing (with stuff-dog-paw) this:
アストロナッシュ
(Asutoronasshu)
Since that sounds like a sneeze, we’d have to, quite naturally, call him Hideki (秀樹)
Japanese is like that, sometimes.
Oh, and the intimate-diminutive would be pronounced “heyeDEE-cho”
Will guess that Shibō *[sheeBOUGH] シボ, might suit being male, 16, and American better.
____________________
*”Asutoro” -> toro -> least-lean tuna -> adjectives for not-lean -> Shibō
It’s possible someone has already though of that. Better check Henry for bones and/or mummified remains.
Huh…
If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my
dogsquirrel costume.Henry dog has that special Oompah Loompa tanning booth orange tint to his skin, and look he’s developing a melanoma, we tried to warn him!
It looks more like a third eye, or a second nose. It’s worse than we thought!
He alternately has a mole then loses the mole. Maybe it is two different Henrys?
One for $750, take both for the low, low price of $2000.
“Henry needs a new home.”
Because the landfill in my area will no longer accept the 700lbs per week of Henry droppings and there are no more small children in my neighborhood to feed him.
Appropriate, though. Post XL for an XL stuffed dog.
If Henry is sitting at 6 feet high, those windows start pretty damn far up the wall.
I’m ‘Enery the six foot dog,
Enery the six foot dog am I.
I gave nightmares to the children next door,
They’ll need therapy for a year or more.
And all this is only from an ‘Enery (‘Enery!)
Not from a Willie or a Sam (no Sam!)
I’m a six foot dog named ‘Enery (‘Enery)
‘Enery the six foot dog I am
‘Enery the six foot dog I am.
Second verse, same as the first…
christina, you have been without an outlet for your snark for too long! It’s overflowing in the nicest way!
LRC, good up-take! And a new YSaC Battle Cry: NO SAM!
Finally, a perfect guard dog for my Bea Arthur life size cutout
Sorry for being a downer today, but I’d really appreciate any prayers/positive thoughts sent my way. I woke up this morning and I was bleesing, and I’m still spotting. It’s not as bad as it could be, but I’m still pretty terrified. I’m on bedrest today, so I won’t be checking in too often. Thanks for being a great group of friends.
I’m on it, EB. (and sorry for giving this post a door. In my flu-altered state, I mistook the adore for reply)
EB you know our thoughts, hopes and prayers are with you.
My prayers are with you EB. ((hugs))
*hugs*
Rest and be well.
Words fail me.
Take care, EB. Thinking of you.
Hope everything turns out okay, EB.
Thoughts and well-wishes to you EB! Try to think as positive as you can – lots of Mama’s clients start bleeding and she always tells them it can happen for all sorts of reasons and mean any number of things. I’m gonna tell the universe to make it one of the banal, safe, slightly-gross-but-perfectly-normal things. *hugs*
EB, I picture you surrounded by white, angelic light that heals and holds. I know for you that you are perfect, whole, and complete, and that your path may look rocky, but the truth is that you will reach the point of fulfillment at the appointed time. Hang in there. ((HUGS))
Best wishes. ::hugs::
Thanks, guys 🙂 I’ve been on the couch all day (Mr is being fabulous and taking care of me AND a crabby toddler, and now he’s making some homemade pizza… yumm!) and while I’m still spotting, I haven’t had bad cramps or other terrible signs. I’m going to the doctor in the morning and staying home from work tomorrow… It’ll be some Valentines Day, huh? :-p Thanks for the love!
Best vibes and good wishes to you and your family.
I’ll be thinking of you and praying for you. Let us know what the doctor says.
As you slowly and calmly breathe in and out, listening to each breath, know that perfect health is your natural state of being. Surround yourself in a halo of all of our well-wishes. If you need extra reassurance or if you’re feeling vulnerable, picture our halo around you and draw upon it. Envision it surrounding you and cradling you, protecting you from harm. You’re in a bubble of protection and well-being.
Lots of positive thoughts coming your way from both of us.

*Too freaky; can’t look.
If I had one of those, I’d pay someone $750 to get it out of my house. No way I’m letting it any nearer me than my computer screen.
Also, I just got the Cat Math mousepad I ordered, and it’s awesome!!!!!!!
It may even give me incentive to clear off my desk to make enough space to use a mouse with my laptop.
SilvaNoir outdid herself on the Cat Math image, and it looks great on a mousepad.
Sarajean, it is my privilege to bestow upon you the blessing of the bees, the ring around the collar, and the Punchity Punch Punch!
G’Night, Animal Fair!
