The Ugliest Thing Ever Award

I'm officially giving this the Ugliest Thing Ever Award.

I believe this is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. So ugly in fact that I felt the need to covertly photograph it and warn people about it - lest it jump out at you when you least expect it. A molded burl chicken?! It isn't even real burl - not that wood would naturally grow in the shape of a chicken or anything - but I feel very sorry for the poor Chinese worker who had to waste part of his or her life pouring the mold and then painting this horrible monstrosity - only to have Hobby Lobby slap it on one of their shelves for $39.99!

Seriously... $39.99? A frackin' burl chicken?! You couldn't PAY ME to take this thing home! I think I'm going to go get ill now.

At 4:09 PM, Anne said...: LOL, I was thinking acid burns, more than canker sores, actually, but that would work, too. :)

And speaking of supremely odd birds, I was in Publix today and there were sculpted butter turkeys in the butter/margarine section. I was going to take a photo, but it was too busy for me to be subtle about it.

And ewww. Gross. Canker sores and acid burns. Those descriptions make it even ickier.
At 3:39 PM, Anne said...: Well, this monstrosity really defies subtle descriptions...

And you have to wonder, what on earth was they buyer for Hobby Lobby thinking when they picked this out?!
At 9:48 PM, Anonymous said...: Hey, Now we know what to get you for christmas ! A full farm yard animal set of burl animals.
But would it ever replace the dowery animals ?
