Just a warning that if you do take him off their hands, then he will steal your soul and invade your dreams.

But what would be the next stage of this cavalcade of bizarre earrings? I don’t think that this should end with an ear of corn, it should keep going right the way to the floor! Now that’s fashion.
“My first ever custom-built chainsaw.”
I would love to see someone cut down a tree with this, that would be one hell of an amazing trick!

This way of storing your stuffed animals is a great way to convince anyone who comes through your door that you are actually an unhinged psychopath! Easy life hacks!
“Pizza Hat!”
This one actually makes me feel sick. I know that it can’t be a real pizza, but the idea of pizza oil seeping into my hair is just repugnant.
“The Instructional Pants™️!”
I have always found jeans to be far too confusing, so these are an absolute Godsend! No more will I be hopping around with two legs jammed into one trouser leg all day.
“A charity shop with so many copies of 50 Shades of Grey they built a fort out of them.”
I mean, it is a great way to use surplus books, but I don’t think that I’d fancy living in one. Also, I wouldn’t want to shine a blacklight over it.
“The Ice-SkateBoard. I hope you enjoy moving only in straight lines when you’re on ice.”
I would absolutely love a go on this thing, but I know that it could very well be the last thing that I ever do on this earth. I’m not known for my balance.

One person with clear experience in this area added, “I think the really weird part is that little box hanging on the door knob. It’s a lock box for a key to the door. It’s usually used for [an] empty house so workers can get in without handing out a bunch of keys. The box opens with a code.”
“Who comes up with this stuff?”
First of all, what a terrible waste of an upright piano. Second, who could ever relax while cooking under a suspended piano?! And finally, why are they keeping flowers on the stove?!

This looks like it would make for the most dangerous version of apple bobbing of all time!
“Decorative doorstop… Literally a brick with tinfoil.”
This is like the level of home-crafting that I work at. I am one of the least crafty people on the planet but I think that I could just about make this!

Hmmm, this one is a real thinker. By which I mean, it makes you think about the mental state of someone who would make such a creepy item!
“My friend made me a ring with my wisdom tooth!”
My wisdom teeth brought me nothing but pain and suffering, so I can’t think of anything worse than having to carry one around with me. Also, it’s bloody hideous.
