What's a Christmas without poo? Ain't hardly a Christmas at all! And this is magic pixie poo! Just listen to the description: A glittering doo hung from a satin ribbon. It looks like a piece of dog doo complete with frosted snow! How can you not want this hanging from your tree?

How cute are these? I know, too cute. If your kids are into doing the webcam thing or if you like doing the webcam thing and are into funky usb animals with cameras for mouths (I had a nightmare about that once but never mind...) you might like these.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

For most of the world a graphic novel is a comic book by any other name. But don't short change the genre. Some of the most interesting writing going on today is masquerading as "comics".

Created by Alan Moore, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, is his series about a crime-fighting team composed of characters from Victorian-era literature: Allan Quatermain, the Invisible Man, Captain Nemo. In Black Dossier (out 11/14), he ups the ante further, imagining a 1950s-era Britain where fictional spies and suspicious figures like James Bond, Emma Peel, and Harry Lime all coexist — though their interests don’t necessarily coincide.

Much of Black Dossier is told through sequential panels and word balloons — except for the interludes of typeset text: secret government files, personal memoirs, even the first scene of a suppressed play by William Shakespeare. (Don’t worry — there’s plenty of violence, nudity, and naughty words, too, and the last chapter is in
3-D.) The more text you’re willing to read, the more the story reveals, and the more English literature you already know — from Orlando to 1984 — the more surprises Black Dossier has in store for you.

Little Joseph Candles

Description

Joseph starts out bald and plain. Use candles the color of your choice to take bald little joseph from bald to waxy. A little creepy, but interesting nonetheless. I'd love to get this as a gift.

The Year of Living Biblically by A. J. Jacobs

First to recommend

Description

The Year of Living Biblically answers the question: What if a modern-day American followed every single rule in the Bible as literally as possible. Not just the famous rules – the Ten Commandments and Love Thy Neighbor (though certainly those). But the hundreds of oft-ignored ones: don’t wear clothes of mixed fibers. Grow your beard. Stone adulterers. A.J. Jacobs’ experiment is surprising, informative, timely and funny. It is both irreverent and reverent. It seeks discover what’s good in the Bible and what is maybe not so relevant to 21st century life. And it will make you see the Good Book with new eyes.
