I'm a little teapot and Reich Chancellor
« on: May 29, 2013, 02:02:17 PM »

I just don't see it.  And my mind has been prepped by years of watching the Hitler History Channel, back when they still showed something related to history, rather than shows about pawnshops and junk picking and restoring old cars.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

That was my thought, if the person thinks in terms of South-Park style characters.  =D

I don't think taking down the billboards is nearly enough. Clearly, JC Penny should pay for psychological help for all those mad enough to see Hitler in a teapot, and all those who took the mad ones seriously.

I think it's silly...but I doubt it was accidental. Since when does a major retailer dedicate a billboard to a tea pot? JCP is struggling-my guess is that was designed for publicity.

Wife works for JCP, they are $40 in the stores. I thought about having her get me one, but $40 (-minus her discount) is a lot $$ for a funny teapot.

Yeah... I would say so.

I thought $20 would be worth it. $40 is right out. Incidentally, I saw a $100+ teapot on the website. I think $40 is exorbitant.

It's not a "funny teapot".  It's a genuine Nazi Third Reich with SS Siegrunes Teapot and glorifies our noble Fuhrer.  (It does need a red arm band with a swastika on the spout though. )

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Got home from happy hour and pizza dinner and Mrs Charby had the Führer tea pot on the counter for me.
