YSaC, Vol. 390: The peeler / lincoln log set didn’t take off, though.
Some things just shouldn’t be advertised together:
Child Gate & knife Set
Pressure type Child safety Gate. Works well. – $25
Ronco 25 piece Knife Set with Injector. Comes with holding block. Never been used, still in original box. – $25
When I read “Child gate & knife set”, I imagine a child’s gate that has slots for knives all across the top of it. It’s the ultimate space saver for the kitchen! Keep your child out of the kitchen and store your cutlery all in one useful multi-tasking tool!
It’s almost as useful as the Dutch oven and baby bath combo I got as a wedding present. Or the electric child’s swing with built-in cattle prod. Or the child’s swimming pool / jumbo washing machine. Or the … [insert your own idea here … and by here I mean in the comments below!]
Thanks to Kris for sending this in!
I know I loved that jolly jumper-rock polisher that I got as a baby shower gift. It went so well with the playpen-aminal carrier.
I want to get the item simply because it will go so well with my Child Seat-Toaster combo I got at Target, and the toy Learn Shapes-Mace pack we got as a gift.
We can’t live without the pacifier/Mace key chain.
This is extra bizarre because it’s so unnecessary (Craigslist is still free, yes?), and separately they’re rather normal entries.
Also, damn, that’s a lot of knives.
It’s the only knife you’ll ever need, but wait there’s more…
I’ll tell ya, those kids only have to be stopped by that child gate & knife set once. ONCE.
“It’s a floor wax!” “It’s a dessert topping!” “Wait! You’re BOTH right!”
Pussywhip – Vintage SNL FTW!
If I give them an extra five bucks, will I get a Pocket Fisherman and a Bedazzler, too?
Ooooh, this should complete my set of child care/kitchen tool items so well! Right along with my bassinet/salad spinner, crib/bread machine, and breast pump/icecream maker (so handy.)
Personally, I’m a fan of my burglar alarm/white noise for sleep machine.
Better than the Homer Simpson “everything’s fine” alarm.
Simpson reference FTW!
It’ll go great with the baby bath/garbage disposal I got last year.
RE: The Dutch Oven/baby bath
You laugh, but my mom actually used a large oval roasting pan (the type you use for turkeys and large roasts) as a baby bath more than a couple times. 🙂
Now, my combo Sit ‘n Spin/circular saw…THAT’s fun.
Well, I guess if you put a lid on that large oval roasting pan while you’re using it as a baby bath … hey presto, you’ve got a Dutch oven of sorts. At least, once the baby farts.
Warm the water a little while bathing baby to make it fart. Turn the gas stove flame up to medium high till you see the water bubbling and then turn the gas off before the water boils (don’t wanna boil the baby, eh?!)
After that, any OTHER bubbles you see will be baby’s farts. Oh, any bubbles that occur if the baby is face-down in the water WON’T be fart bubbles, they’ll be cos water is replacing air in its lungs. Besides, you’ll see its arse out of the water. You’ve probably applied too much heat and/or the lid on the roasting pan depleted all the air. Oops!
baby walker/floor polisher.
but i’m only partly kidding. that would actually be really useful.
For the dad on the go, the Rattle/Phillips head screwdriver.
I think the “with Injector” is the scariest part of the Knife-gate
Sorry to be a comment-hog, but that just reminded me of the best invention ever….
KNIIIIIFEWREEENCH
It’s practical and safe!

For kids!
Thank you antoinette jeanine. You reaffirmed my faith in humanity.
This soda tastes inky.
I was imagining a gate with some sort of array of spring-loaded knives on the top. Like, “Come on, toddler! I @!&*#$^ DARE you to open me!”
Looks like a lot of these inventions will just be consigned to the dustbin along with my inventions of a Laundry basket with laser sighting, running shoes with a Harpoon attachment, and matching condom/socks combos (worst night of my life……..)
However – I actually see a vague glimmer of logic to this post. There are sooo many potentially lethal knives available that therefore you might want to consider installing a child safety gate to keep the rugrats out of the kitchen…..But yeah it ranks up there with a gun rack with child’s play pen combo deal in that respect.
I’m still trying to figure out what somebody could do with 26 knives. I mean, clearly there is some intended function for all of them.
Still… combing listings on a free site is extra-clever.
I should totally buy this for my sister. She’s expecting. It will go great with the pacifier/pen knife I got her for traveling.
Nothing says child safety like the Fisher-Price See ‘n Say The Farmer Says/Hot Shot Cattle Prod combo. “The cow says….MOOOOOoooooowwww!”
That’s not nearly as useful as my bassinet and bear trap combo.
who wouldn’t want that combo?
Baby-walker / floor polisher kinda already invented.

Last time I bought a child-safety gate, I was so disappointed. After I opened it up, I read inside on packaging “Knife set not included.” WTF, rip-off!!!
So, this is a pretty sweet deal!
I’m looking for a good deal on a combination hookah and humidifier.
You see, I don’t need EITHER of these things anymore. Nope, not anymore…
But would you be interested in this combination musical-crib-mobile and lawn-dart storage rack?
