Can you say "lawsuit"?  How many $15K houses do you need to sell to cover the liability?

I made the 9 inch tall Gingerbread house a couple of years ago.  Never Again! 

I will bet that dentists love it though!

They have this weird tradition of finding some overpriced thing no one would ever need and showcasing it as their gift of the year. I don't think they usually sell one of them, but it attracts attention and that gets sales of more normal things.

Hmmm. . . If it had an oven in it, I bet the former Mod 11 would love it! 

Didn't she have a special day for beating up the elderly and another for kicking puppies?

Roasting children could be just another hobby!  WOOT! 



Yes, this post is in fun.  I have always found her dry comment about that just funny as all get out.
