Scary??? Guess you havent seen Amsterdam Street in New York City just off the GW bridge at night... That's scary but perhaps you missed it.... Thank goodness, someone still believes in God and is creative enough to make a nice Christmas decoration like this.

Wow, this is lazy at best. Can I have your job searching the internet for news?

I probably have stranger things than that out in my storage shed. I inherited 2 housholds of things from 2 elderly MIL's. I just haven't the heart to go thru everything, but I did find some great things in the little I went thru. I think the most weird thing I found was from my step MIL. She was very religious, a devout Southern Baptist. She had also been a member of the Eastern Star. I found a book on witchcraft that had obviouly been used. It wasn't new. Very surprising.

I had a pet fountain for my cat until I learned she is allergic to plastic. It doesn't look as odd as the picture makes it out to be. I wouldn't buy a used one, though, unless it were washed out thoroughly and the filter were changed.

I've seen lame stuff on HuffPost, but never this bad...

"GOD BLESS TEXAS" was one of president George Bush's theme songs -- that funky homemade sign is part of presidential history. Second, CAT FOUNTAINS are popular because cats like the sound of flowing water and it helps them drink more, a preference that evolved in cats because aerated water is less prone to give bacteriological diseases. CONCRETE VAULT -- a useful item -- don't tell me HuffPost people don't use the sewer. That ICE CART looks AWESOME. Have you guys ever even SEEN a frozen lake, much less spent a winter by one? Obviously not. You crawled out from under your rock just yesterday. SMOKEY BEAR -- a piece of Americana. Need I say more? ROLLER BLADES sans wheels -- obviously you are from the THROW-AWAY SOCIETY if you don't get that wheels can be replaced. Our planet is being destroyed by idiots like you. TAZ -- only the most cool Looney Toons character ever. Taz would rip you a new one if he knew how disrespectful you've been to him. CABINET -- looks good for a garage/workshop. The PAINTING is a tough sell, but if Craigslist can save it from a landfill, it's worth listing. Perhaps it comes with a good antique frame or reusable canvas.

Summary: THIS SLIDESHOW WAS PATHETIC. Huffpost is obviously using child labor, because no self-respecting adult would come up with this crap and broadcast it.

What a bunch of crap. But, if I really have to buy those worthless products, I can set them on fire.
