eBay WTF of the Day: Eyes bigger than your brain?

Filed under: Accessories, Fashion

Even Ugly Betty would stare.This is a purse, made of a coconut, covered in flamingos.

WTF, linluck?

Apparently, linluck was thinning out his/her flamingo collection. He or she must have felt inexplicably drawn to flamingos for awhile.

Totem animals anyone? I headed to trusty sayahda.com for the lowdown on flamingo symbolism:

"Because the eye of the flamingo is actually larger than its brain, they are associated with clear sightedness. Flamingos see exceptionally well, but due to the smallness of their brains they are not always able to interpret what they see efficiently."

I find that to be a fair explanation for why this purse exists. Some flamingo lover thought "Hey! That coconut would make a great goldenrod flamingo purse!" All because their brain was smaller than their eye. Simple.

The phrase ought to be coined, really. Like "eyes bigger than your stomach" for when you order or take more food than you can eat, "eyes bigger than your brain" could be for when you wear something silly like all the spring fashions at once, or Crocs, or this purse.
