- With Christmas coming, a glance through the Taylor Gifts Catalog
- revealed some possibilities. For those members of the Cultural
- Elite who receive only Barnes & Noble or L. L. Bean catalogs,
- Taylor vies with Hanover House for *the* tackiest gifts, but this
- is where the Moral Majority shops!
-
- Well, the hot gifts of the year are slippers which come with sound
- effects: there are train ones which chug as you walk ($24.98), Santa
- ones that "ho, ho, ho" ($29.88), beer can slippers (they don't make
- any noise, but they do look stupid at $29.98), barking slippers
- (Dalmatian pattern -- $29.98) and though I couldn't find the
- "meowing" slippers I'm sure they're in there somewhere.
-
- Motss relevance? How about birthday bears with colored birthstones
- "for top of cake or as a fun keepsake" for your favorite Ursine --
- a mere $11.98 each. Or the beefcake ironing board covers (cowboy,
- reclining or construction) "definitely spice up a routine chore"
- for $14.98 each. The "sexy bolster pillow covers" 55" long ($19.98)
- with either scantily clad man or woman -- Taylor knows that sometimes
- lesbians get lonely too. Then there's glow-in-the-dark underwear for both
- sexes and an X-rated ceramic mug -- just add hot beverage and she strips
- (sorry, guys, female stripper only). Ah, the home game of "Studs" just
- like on TV! And for your favorite fundie, there's even a Norman Rockwell
- illustrated Bible or the miniature pulpit music box which plays
- Amazing Grace.
-
- I've just scratched the surface; there's the 6' cardboard stand-ups of
- George and Barbara Bush (soon to be a discontinued), a set of Elvis
- glassware (collectable quality), an Electric Mouse Chase for your cat, a
- Marilyn Monroe tree ornament, and, yes, even a Veg-O-Matic for only $19.98!
