Things about this hobby that you find hilarious?

Honestly... what -is- this night light?
(... and where can I find this? ... asking for a friend??)

 

Pretty sure that's a deep sea creature...

 

LMAO, magic mushroom quiche (kitsch)! So funny, lololol. Definitely the laugh I needed after surviving my kids' last week of school, thank you!

And genetically modified eggplant d*cks is sending me Sorry, manufacturers, but bigger is not always better every time. Lmao

@cobaltconduct, that "nightlight" has Not!David Attenborough struggling for something to say, lol. The folks who usually write the script for him are on vacation at the moment, and he's just scratching his head like, "What can I say, but people like the damnedest things, and perhaps this, too, is how life continues surviving in the face of truly impossible odds?"

 

You said it. Bigger isn't always better.
Genetically modified eggplants usually encounter difficulties in shipping, storage and the occasional unintentional bursts (of laughter). Proceed with caution.

Not!Morgan Freeman: What you are seeing here is an adaptation of bioluminescence in the deep waters. Deep down in the oceans, the elusive merfolk cannot rely on pure chance to meet up with one another for procreation purposes due to the frigid cold waters and their sparse distribution. To fight their steep odds at finding one another, the male merfolk employ a light signal down in the abyssal depth to great peril to his own life and limb, hoping to find love...
(March of the Penguins? Nah, more like the March of the P----)

 

I'm literally rolling at the idea of mermaids needing sonar to even find the male merfolk's light signals, lmao. However, all is not lost! Thanks to the advent of the internet, even the most isolated merfolk can now have access to dating apps, even glowing "nightlight" pics. Not!Morgan Freeman has quite a dystopian tale to narrate now, lolololol.

Now I'm tempted to get merfolk BJDs just to pose them in front of computers with fake dating apps.

 

Not!David Attenborough, meet Not!Morgan Freeman!

Angell Studio had these merfolk tails that are translucent. Dream Valley had jellyfish bodies that are translucent. There's also the recent rise of the bony fish (translucent tails with details of bone structure inside, not fish with a boner) for pre-order too. When you look around, nature finds a way! (so does resin, of course. )

Now, just imagine this with me... while angler fishes dangle a light lure on the top of their heads... male merfolk dangle a completely different kind of "light lure" ... er... somewhere else on their bodies...

 

This entire conversation about giant eggplants has me laughing for a whole other reason. As a trans guy, I also have access to "customizable equipment" (and I'm not referring to the...fun times...equipment, but the other type) - and one problem the trans guy community comments on a great deal is - how hard it is to find decently sized (read: small) eggplant. All the companies that make it seem to think we want huge eggplants between our legs!! Take it from me, (who knows from personal experience LOL) - if you're looking for an eggplant, pick the smallest one you can find.

 

Could there be some... overlap...? If doll companies make them too big for 1/3 or 1/2 guys they might be just the right size for 1/1

I have tried very hard to find this for you again but I encountered it while searching taobao through superbuy and I lost the link - the dealer was also selling some small makers (eg boundless forest) bodies and crotch bits so hence my confusion about the night light I do think glow-in-the-dark resin sausages would be a GREAT business idea though.

 

That's an interesting idea lol. I'm assuming with the way these things seem to be sized, the 1/2 guys just might be perfect for 1/1! xD

 

I work with transfolks at work, so I've heard a bit about the packers. I just never realised finding the right sizes can be such a hassle! The stuff you learn every day! Thanks for the info. You never know, I just might be able to use that at work!

The more I think about it, the less like I'm going to get a glow in the dark undersea A-more-y eel. I do live alone, but the folks would visit some times. And... let's say, I don't want them to know -that- much about me!

 

I also find it hilarious that this thread, too, has descended into the gutter and refuses to come out! We all have the maturity of 12-year-old boys, lol!

 

@SPhosphate Did... did you just invent worldbuilding anatomical lore? We joke now, but somewhere, someone making a fanfic or a doujinshi is going, "Write that down! Write that down!"

I feel like having the lure there could potentially go very badly if he wasn't careful though. But tell that to the nightlight manufacturer. I am slightly terrified to ask... why.

@Audrina Mystique I couldn't resist. You inspired me.



...Ahem. Something that is both simultaneously funny and unfunny about these option parts is how apt they are to end up places they shouldn't be. Every now and then a body goes out onto the secondhand market junkless because... they were nowhere to be found. Where did they go? Were they taken by the junk fairy? Nobody knows.

I just recounted the story too, of trying to unstick a jointed one from a pair of pants, only for it to let go and pop back inside the doll. It rattled around in there for a while; getting it out and reattaching it was such a pain.

 

Where did they come from, where did they go~
Where did they come from, one eyed joe~
*crawls back into the depths*

 

oh no that song is stuck in my head now, too

[Verse 2:]
He brought disaster spare peepees wherever he went
The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
And left all the men 'cause of Cotton-Eyed Joe the magnets wouldn't hold

 

Er... I don't know? I guess I did???
I promise you, though. I would -not- be the person writing this down. I already have enough nightmares from the angler fishes. I do not need new nightmare fuel of "Angler Merfolk". (Wait a second... I kinda like that name. "The legend of the Angler Merfolk"!!!)

Junk fairy!!!
Now... if the wonderful Junk Fairy leaves us a few bucks after she takes away all the resin eggplants... With enough savings, we're looking at a new doll right here!

"Oooh! New doll! Looks good!"
"Yeah, I got him from money left from the Junk Fairy!"
"....................."

Now, if you're wondering what the Junk Fairy would look like... just remember, do not (and I repeat, do NOT) go check out an old movie called "Darkness Falls" (2003). It's about the Tooth Fairy... in a very very literal way. And if you do check out what the Tooth Fairy looks like, do not (and I repeat, do NOT) think about what the Junk Fairy would look like.

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

 

Taking a break from the peens for a bit to share this mandarake listing that has me in stitches - I don't believe in haunted dolls but this will definitely haunt me for a while

Spoiler: "you think you have enough dolls? tell me more" *tilts head*

Spoiler: the last thing you see

Eye placement is important y'all

 

Oh sweet baby jesus that's nightmare inducing.

 

Can't sleep... angel will eat me...

 

Oh, man, that's the kind of dolls that give other dolls a bad name!
You're going to have to put a "Not Haunted" sign on her or something!

... still kinda cute, though. Hmmm....
