Merry Christmas!
It’s the day before Christmas and shopping for gifts this year in Hawaii may have been a bit more difficult with the multiple power outages at Ala Moana Center. Were any of you there when the lights went out? Thankfully I finished up my shopping the day before all this madness started.
But for those of you still in need of gifts, here are some ideas — ODD ones naturally — if you’re lucky enough to find them! And maybe calling these a gift may be going too far. They’re more like stocking stuffers with a twist…

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and sincere thanks again for supporting Odds and Ends. For those on Facebook, be sure to find us at Odds & Ends.

Shucks.
Missed being first.

Funny items.
By David In Oregon, December 24, 2010 @ 3:40 am
All but one of those products is a mystery to me.
I have seen Bimbo products though, as they are a subsidiary (if I’m not mistaken) of a Mexican company. Some of the names you can find here in USA include Oroweat (bread), Boboli, Entenmann’s (pastries, doughnuts and other goods).
By Makiki, December 24, 2010 @ 6:30 am
All I am familiar with are the Bimbo bakery products. Saw them a few years ago in Mexico and now they are available in the midwest and probably wherever there is a hispanic population.
I would love to have some of the other things around just for conversations sake!
Glad to see quite a few here have stuck around. Happy Holidays to everyone.

Use ShitBegone on your asse for a Happy Crak!!
By David In Oregon, December 24, 2010 @ 10:10 pm
EREKTUS plus MEGAPUSSI makes for one helluva Cock Soup Mix. That is of course assuming you like Bimbo and not Homo Sausage (not that there’s anything wrong with that
By David In Oregon, December 24, 2010 @ 10:20 pm
If you don’t have either Bimbo or Homo Sausage, I guess you’ll have to just WACK OFF.

hello hello hellooooooooo!
need a new story…
By sally, January 9, 2011 @ 12:08 pm
Once upon a time there was a little girlie BEE who so badly wanted to be the Queen. Every day she practiced and practiced her head tilts and Queenly hand waving and learned to boss around the unruly boy BeeBeeDees.
Alas, she never lost her passion for life’s ODDities, thus attracting ODD HoneyBees and BeeBeeDees to her humble hive. Together they all became self supporting misfits who entertained themselves and even made up their own language.
One day, she had to relocate her hive and her faithful BEEs flew with her. She became a very BEEzy Queen but still found time to make sure her loyal subjects knew who was still QUEENIE.
Legend has it that there are QB sitings, if you know where to look. And, if keep your eyes open you might even see a flash of a red muumuu with a feather boa strutting in the streets of downtown Honolulu. I’ve even heard that there’s a certain dock in Hilo and once in awhile on a dark, quiet night you can catch a glimpse of a man jumping up and down yelling “EH, WHEN DA SUPAH FAIRY GOING COME?!”
The End… but not really
