The 10 Things You Should Buy Someone (who might be me) for Christmas

10. The Roald Dahl 16 Book Collection That Needs to be Shipped from the UK
Which, honestly, for the shipping costs, you might as well throw in some bottles of whiskey, and a couple pounds of cheese. Make it a regular party. I'll read to you.


9. One Whole Bone In Serrano Ham

295.00 for the leg of an animal that has more in common with Heidi than Babe. Ham holder not included. You have to buy your own ham holder.



8. A Penguin. (I'm pretty sure that's not legal. Or a real site. But I believe it can be done.)

7. Champagne of the Month Club. Duh. What else am I going to do with a penguin?


6. A Lippizaner Stallion





5. An Awesome 3 Headed Dragon Entryway

3. The Head of King Henri IV

"The scientific tests helped identify the late monarch's embalmed head, which was shuffled between private collections ever since it disappeared during the French Revolution in 1793."

As Gawker pointed out, the key word in that sentence is collections. Plural. Awesome Plural. Whole rooms of weird creepy mummified shit and cursed shit and lethal sapphires and gay love letters from popes AWESOME. My family and friends are of course welcome to auction my dessicated body parts for money when I'm gone. But you are only allowed to take them off after I am really dead, not just mostly dead.



2. The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living by Damien Hirst

Look, for those of you who find this disrespectful, fine. But I'd like to point out this is higher on the list than the head of King Henry. That should say something. Also, if someone gave you a huge shark in resin for Christmas, you would never ever ever turn that down.


1. The Number One Best Christmas Present Ever

The Funktionide (Robot Blob Pillow)
"since humans already spend days cocooned in in various electronics, it shouldn't be that much of a stretch for a mattress to be semi-sentient."

I mean, yeah? Right? I would name mine Leviathan. And call it Levi. And probably talk to it a lot. Seriously, I want one of these more than I want a talking walking dinosaur cellphone. (Ask me about that one sometime. It's a bit awesome.)
