Presenting the Original Bowl Buddy

I ran across this particular item the other day and just about fell over laughing. It's called the Original Bowl Buddy, and features toilet scrub brushes that look like certain people. Currently they have the Head of State, First Cleaning Lady, and Osama Bin Scrubbin. (George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Osama Bin Laden)

Find the idea of the Original Bowl Buddy a bit strange of even repulsive? You may not be alone. Frankly I have to say these things are a little frightening to look at. Don't take my word for it; go take a look for yourself:

On a lark, I wrote to Ty Dembicks, the inventor of the Original Bowl Buddy and suggested he make a Bowl Buddy of Sarah Palin. I didn't expect to get a response but he did write back. Here is his response:

Hi Mike,

When she finds herself on a GOP ticket again we'll make her.

Thanks,
Ty Dembicks

What a guy! Actually, the more I think about it there are probably a ton of people I would like to see made into a Bowl Buddy. How about Arnold Schwarzenegger- can't you just see it: The Scrubinator! What about Joe the Scrubber? Hey, the possibilities are endless!

The cost of each Original Bowl Buddy is $19.95. Perhaps a bit much for a toilet brush, but we can't all get a free one sent to us, like former President Bush. Apparently Ty sent Bush one of the Head of State Bowl Buddy's and got a letter back thanking him. Hmm. I always wondered about Bush! In my opinion, the Bowl Buddy that purports to be W, looks more like his old man, but that's me.

At any rate the Original Bowl Buddy falls under the heading of one of the strangest things I have seen. You can find the Original Bowl Buddy and a lot of other strange new products at: http://www.strangenewproducts.com/

Go on up and take a look there too, you might just find something useful. But I seriously doubt. It certainly is a great place to waste a few minutes.

The Original Bowl Buddy is one of those great conversation starters. Once you start though you may wish you hadn't!
