wilie care kit (£12)


Description:
An elegant case of “intimate essentials” for the discerning Gentleman on the move.

This case contains a range of luxury items designed to keep a mans most treasured parts in order. A silverware “fluffing brush”, styling “shears”, a silverware “sprucing” mirror and a metal “bracelet” complete with mini medallion, for that special evening wear occasion (it is, in fact a very upmarket “Willy Care Kit!”).

All these items come packed in a luxurious, hard, leather look case to add a touch of class to this fine, personal grooming collection.

A must for every “Man on the move!”

Jehane found this on Gumtree, which appears to be England’s answer to the insanity that is Craigslist. (We’ve featured Gumtree ads before, and they’re pretty WTF-tacular.) She wonders if it’s common for traveling gentlemen to groom their nether regions, while those stay-at-home gents prefer to let it grow into a junglescape.

I’m very grateful that in my, um, experience, I’ve never come across anyone wearing an evening wear bracelet on their … I can’t even finish that thought. And I’m reasonably certain that I’ll never be able to eat a FlufferNutter sandwich ever again.

However, I may have found something even more appalling.

Pejazzling.

That’s right … pejazzling. Where bedazzling was once limited to the simple and classy, now it’s gone a rhinestone too far. Some things just shouldn’t be spangled. I mean, I’m as big a fan of redickoration as the next person, but some things just don’t need improvement. This just seems like an attempt at fandonglery.

        When I clicked on the link, the bar at the bottom of the amazon.com page said that people who had previously bought that kit had also been interested in mugs where the handle looks like knuckle dusters, a book on ninjas and what looked to be shurikens (given the contents of this “care kit” I was a little afraid to investigate further in that case)

        Just thought I’d share.

    When I first read the title, I thought it was an amusing typo and thought I could snark on what it obviously sounded like but surely wasn’t.

    And yet, it is. It is, in actual fact, a “willy care kit.”

    I am twistedly curious about the bracelet though. I mean, is it meant to be worn around the wrist as a bracelet traditionally is, or do you somehow just kind of hang it from your schmendrick? Because if it’s the latter, I would totally use the “fluffing brush” to make a pube fro, dye the area a dark brown, invite the ladies to have a peek, and then start singing:

    Who’s the black private dick
    That’s a sex machine with all the chicks?
    Shaft!
    Ya damn right.

    If it’s a boring wrist bracelet though, I hope the medallion says, “In case of emergency, pull lever” with an arrow pointing down.

    She wonders if it’s common for traveling gentlemen to groom their nether regions, while those stay-at-home gents prefer to let it grow into a junglescape.

    “Traveling gentlemen” either have nobody to come home to or are looking for extramarital entertained while on the road. In both cases, they feel the desire to impress any temporary companions with the thoroughness of their grooming habits – from head to toe and everything in between. “Stay-at-home gents” either stay faithful in a committed relationship, and therefore don’t care what their permanent partners think about the grooming of their nethers, or live lives of celibacy and have no intention of letting others see how well or how poorly they keep their happy place groomed.

      I hate to ask what happens when you thaw out frozen Wind…

        Just don’t drop frozen Wind. It’s rather fragile and you might break it.

          If you did then you’d be – wait for it – breaking wind.

          What? Corner? Really? *grumble grumble*

          My Dad likes to blame it on the catalytic converter.

          It’s not as convincing if we’re not actually in a car though.

    Alright, so … where’s the kit for women? Surely they must also want to fluff the muff, trim the bushes, maybe include a couple of niplets. (Like anklets, but for nipples, because rings are so early 21st century.)

    The medallions could each say “Hot” and “Cold”, or “Bass” and “Treble” or a “Dip” traffic sign with arrows pointing at each other.

      We don’t need a kit, we have our own aisle; it’s chock-full of creams, bleaches, fresheners, moist towelettes, waxes, dyes, powders, etc, all designed to tidy up the basement and ajoining areas.

      For designer nipple clamps there’s always eBay.

    Perhaps the medallion is a preemptive congratulations. “Good job at not cutting off your wiener!”

      Maybe it’s like in school when everyone recieves a medal for participating. “Nice Try!” or “Good Effort!”, that sort of thing.

      Had to scroll down to understand that the first photo was both a “fore” and “aft” view.

      Given that such items was usually worn by persons an enter decimal place larger than the models, I’m feeling a need to create a very deep bunker.

      A bunker deep enough to then start the “real” bunker, then one with the windows bricked over, then surrounded by another bunker, underneath a third bunker, so that outside light could not enter without a pass, a security clearance, and escort, and at least three professional references. And none of that wishy-washy lepton behaviour of being wave or a particle. Particulate photons, only! With proof of never having been in the women’s wear section of Wal*Mart.

      I own manga style animal hats and I occasionally wear them. Doesn’t keep people away from me, just changes the comments I receive.

        ah, but MANGA style animal hats… not something that looks like you skinned a wolf, plunked it on your head, and paraded it around like some kind of hipster-barbarian

      I didn’t think one could name an article of clothing something worse than “jorts.” I was wrong. Bonus: The entire concept is just as brain-sodomizingly stupid as the name.

      The tiny hats came from the Gothic Lolita look that was popular in japan earlier in the 2000’s…. it somehow made sense as part of a costume, with black frilly babydoll dresses… but that hat alone an anyone other than a girl at an anime convention looks ridiculous.

      And the rest of those fashions are stupid. Bad enough to see someone’s undies when they wear ill-fitting pants, to have it actually stitched in as part of the look and in denim…. yuck.

          I often see the tiny hats as part of Steampunk ladies fashion, evening wear wise.

        Steampunk makes sense too… still costumey. But if a girl just randomly wore a tiny hat with a regular outfit I still think it would look silly

    I’ve been drinking to mild excess and decided I’d come here and drunk post; joining the history of great drunk posters on YSaC.

    Only now I can’t think of anything to type. Guess it’s back to drinking with me. Drat.

    Hehe, pecile, hehe.

    Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.

    I’m supposed to get posters remorse about now… right?
