They advertise it a lot on teevee so apparently there are a few marks who think it's worth something.

4. Wait just a damned minute!
I gave all of my family members one of those for Christmas (you know, the Birthday of Baby Jesus that you people have Declared War on).

They were all in tears, I tell you.

Crying their eyes out.

5. Well, Jeez, Tom--I'd be pretty emotional too
if I had family stupid enough to think that stuff was an appropriate gift for me.

I feel for yours. I really do.

7. You shoulda seen 'em.
I mean, they were all over themselves.

Saying things like, "Oh, these are treasures. We really cannot accept these, because we could never gift you with anything remotely like this".

So they gave them all back to me.

Want one?

I have plenty, and they are costing me money, what with the price of gas and all.

My girlfriend won't let me bring them in the house, so I keep them in the trunk of my car.

Tom

13. Actually, I was just joking.
Am I not transparent enough?

I would never pay money for something like that.

Even if I had any money.

I went broke on the Chinchilla Ranch.

And then borrowed (against the house) to start raising emus.

Oh, well....

23. Aw, Jeez, how was I to know. It sounded like SUCH a good idea.
Well, I guess I'll just have to make the best of it in tough times. We can always wear chinchilla closthes in these cold Wisconsin winters and eat chinchilla stew. Are they hard to skin? Do they taste OK?

9. I'll bet they're buying 'em up over in Freeperville. Shallow expressions of patriotism is
they're stock and trade.

10. This one's got the added attraction of being vaguely self-contradictory.

Up until 9-11, the only times I ever heard right-wingers talk about New York was when they were talking about liberals, and they always spat the city's name. "Neeew Yo-werk".

Ever since 9-11, they've posed as New York's best friend and avenging angel. Except for when they're sneering about liberals, of course. Then it's still "Neeeew Yo-werk".

21. Speaking of shallow expressions of patriotism
This is one of my favourite videos.

Don't get put off by the minute or so of close harmony smuttiness at the start. This video really fucking rocks.

22. within several weeks of 9/11 the local liquor store was selling bottles of wine
with an eagle on it and some slogan. It was right up at the cash register. I asked if some of the procedes were going to family of those killed. The clerk looked embarassed and said it wasn't. So I commented that this was just some distributor's way of making money off of that national trauma. The clerk said that numerous people had expressed consternation about the wine's marketing. Noticed the next time I was in that it was gone - and nothing like it has ever been pedalled their.
