Christmas gift ideas

For the person on your list who's impossible to buy for, stupid.com has the following top ten:
1. Screaming Chicken, The World's Most Annoying Toy. This rubber chicken doesn't squeak or squawk. It screams.
2. Wealth Redistribution 2008 Holiday Ornament This tree ornament announces that the ornament that used to be there has been removed and given to someone who needs it more. The Redistribution Holiday Ornament will let everyone know you're spreading the wealth whether you want to or not.
3. Mini Guitar Hero This miniature version of that mega-hit game is barely 6-inches long but you can still rock out to songs by Queen, Cheap Trick, Nirvana, and The Police.
4. Potty Putter Why waste time on the toilet, when you can use it to get ready for the fairway? Potty Putter contains everything you need for an exciting round of golf without leaving your seat including a putting green for around the toilet, mini putter, flag stick and two golf balls.
5. Wasabi Flavoured Gumballs These potent little green confections offer an intense explosion of wasabi. Strangely, the gum is actually delicious.
6. Men's Underwear Repair Kit In this troubled economy, don't throw away your old underwear but repair it with the Men's Underwear Repair Kit. This handy, inexpensive kit provides everything you need to get your unsightly undershorts back into presentable shape.
7. Obama 'Yes We Can' Opener Every election spawns some interesting products, but this has to be one of the stupidest. To Obama fans, the 'Yes, We Can' opener, seizing on his campaign refrain, could be a treasure.
8. 'How To Tie A Tie' Tie Still struggle with your tie? This stylish tie has simple knot-tying instructions printed right on the front. Just follow the six step-by-step diagrams and you'll look as dashing as George Clooney in seconds.
9. 2009 Dog Poop Calendar Each month features a spectacular landscape or breathtaking tableau, but somewhere in every shot there's a pile of dog poop. Distasteful? You bet it is, but the contrast between the beautiful photography and dog poop is remarkable.
10. Pole Dancer Alarm Clock When the alarm goes off, dance music plays and disco lights flash. At the same time, a buxom blonde dancer gyrates around a pole under the spinning disco ball.

Despite that dubious list, my personal favorite didn't make the top ten. The Santa Dreidel really embodies the true meaning of Christmas for my $4.99.

If all of the above is still not inspiring you and you have deeper pockets, I hear you might be able to purchase a Senate seat as well... .

I have taken the liberty of extracting your list and sending it to Father Christmas. Allowing for a higher percentage of "nice" over "naughty" on my part this year, I hope to magically acquire as many of those items as possible.

I plan to play "mini guitar hero" until the wee hours, then crash and wake up to my "pole dancer alarm clock" - breakfast upon a feast of "Wasabi Flavoured Gumballs," and then play golf with my new "potty putter" while proudly sitting on my Senate Seat.

As long as you repair your underwear first.
