Being a daredevil takes its toll on your body.  If you are not familiar with him Evel was one of the most famous daredevils.  Many of his attempted stunts ended in failure but that is part of being a daredevil.  He was only 69 and had been in failing health for years.  If you want to be a part of his legacy you can visit Six Flags St. Louis next year.  They are opening America’s Lengdary Daredevil rollercoaster next year. 

I have been to plenty of holiday parties and it seems that the mistletoe is never around when you need it or it is there when you wish it wasn’t.  Then there is always that one guy that hangs out by the mistletoe all night waiting to swoop in like a vulture on fresh road kill.  If you are that guy here is a tip.  You creep out the ladies.  You need to be more subtle in your approach.  That is where mistletoe on the go comes in.  Instead of hanging out by the mistletoe, take the mistletoe with you.  You can avoid the uglies and go spread your special brand of Christmas cheer with the babes.  It conveniently attaches to your forehead with the provided suction cup.  They say diamonds are a girls best friend.  This is clearly the ladies man’s best friend.  The only downside I can see is that you will be left with a suction cup mark on your forehead but that is the price you have to pay to be a ladies man. 

I am a big fan of Gummi Bears.  Specifically Haribo Gummi Colas.  They are shaped like little soda bottles and they actually taste like cola.  They are awesome.  Someone has taken the idea to the next level and has made gummy bacon.  It doesn’t actually taste like bacon it just looks like bacon.  It has a strawberry flavor.  I love bacon.  It is a culinary fact that just about everything tastes better with bacon.   But I have never once had the desire to eat a raw slice of bacon.  I guess there might be some novelty in pretending to eat a raw slice of bacon.  I just don’t have any desire to do so.  That being said if you have to have some of Uncle Oinkers Gummy Bacon you can get it here.

Every kid should have a pooping polar bar jelly bean dispenser.  It looks like a cute polar bear but when your press the bears rear it will poop a butterscotch or cola flavored jelly bean.  It is advertised as the “Sub-zero poopin hero.”  With global warming and all polar bears might face extinction.   I am glad we have this item to share with future generations so they too can remember the majesty of the polar bear. 

I never played a lot of Minesweeper.  The game is fine but it is not my cup of tea.  I find Minesweeper: The Movie to be much more entertaining than the actual game.

I collect tiki’sbut I am not sure I would want them on my Christmas tree.  I am all right with crossing themes but this just doesn’t work for me.  I have bubble lights on my tree and I don’t want another themed light competing for attention.  I used to have tiki bar in my living room with a thatched roof.  They would have looked great having down from there.  Sadly, when I pout my house up for sale the real estate agent said that the tiki bar should probably go.  Apparently not everyone appreciates a good tiki bar in their living room. 

Christmas is a time for you to do things together with your friends and family. If you like making things you should try origami. You can make all sorts of paper figures items like Christmas Trees and reindeer. This would be a great family holiday project. You don’t need any special items just some paper and your hands. It doesn’t get any easier than that.

If you are in the market for a bridge look no further. The Kickapoo River Bridge in Wisconsin is available at the low, low price of $1. The catch is that the bridge could drop into the river any day now and you need to move it. I don’t have room for a bridge nor the means to move one but if I did I would totally buy it.

A Christmas Story is one of my favorite Christmas movies.  One of my favorite scenes is when the “major award” gets delivered.  I have wanted a leg lamp for years.  I just haven’t had the extra money to go an buy it.  I want the soft glow of electric sex shining for everyone to see from my front window.  Instead of putting out the Christmas lights I would put out the leg lamp.  Mrs. Mai Tai is not crazy about the idea but I tell her it is only a seasonal display and would not be up year round.  She is not 100% on board but when I tell her it is either the lamp or a Red Ryder BB Gun I think she will come around.  There is almost no way I can shoot my eye out with a leg lamp.
