Tony Romo's ascendancy has Cowboys fans talking playoffs and beyond once again, and we all know how overbearing Dallas fans can be. Chances are, you know at least one Cowboy fan who, needs a little humility these days. Well look no further:
Behold how this handsome conversation piece functions as both a precision chronograph and lasting reminder of the heady days when the Rushmoresque troika of Testaverde, Keyshawn and Eddie George served as the cogs of the Dallas Football Machine. (A similar Jeremy Shockey clock is available for all the Giants fans on your shopping list. Caveat emptor, however, the Shockey Clockey would not make a good gift for Mr. Shockey himself since, you know, it's not digital and someone would have to tell time for him.)
Fellas, you've been in this situation. You've taken a lady out for a fancy dinner, copiously followed UM's pedantic wine protocol, and she has ordered the surf and turf. The only thing standing between you and sealing the deal at her place is paying your tab and getting out of the restaurant. Yet, even this routine task is fraught with peril. If you pull out some generic pleather billfold or some goofy money clip you received for a middle-school graduation present eons ago, she may decide that maybe you aren't really worthy of her womanly charms. Don't let this happen to you. With this nylon Detroit Lions wallet, you can reach for that check with confidence. Once she catches sight of this measty wallet, you will be scant moments away from hittin' it .

Time was only cool guys like GI Joe, Evel Knievel and Han Solo got their own action figures. Now thanks to uber-nerd Todd McFarlane, just about any fringe pop culture luminary can get their own fully-poseable collectible which will be snapped up by thousands of fanboy
Eric sez: "This sweater really compliments my svelte, porcine figure."

If only they had a friendly place where everybody could stay and just have a good time back when Mary and Joseph were looking a hotel room.

ReplyDeleteDenny Green -- pull his string and he says such charming phrases like: "IF YOU WANT TO CROWN 'EM, THEN CROWN THEIR ASS!"
Bill Parcells - this model issues a string of insults about his quarterback and does not refer to a certain notorious wide receiver by name. Comes with manssiere.
Mike Tice - "Dum derr dum dee doo dum errr does this pencil behind my ear make me look smart? dum dee doo."
