Quick! Call Angela Lansbury

October 21, 2008 by Kathryn

Maybe I’ve watched too much Murder She Wrote but when I spotted this for sale at Costco, it seemed more sinister than festive.

Additional storage for tree stands or crowbars or whatever.

You’re gonna bind WHAT, now?

This image just creeps me out, like they’re putting the tree to rest, like rest rest, like senseless-violent-why-did-it-have-to-end-like-this rest.

And don’t forget the heavy duty wheels. They’re strong enough to pull a lot of weight… possibly over rough ground… on a dark and stormy night.

    Well, if Costco is anything like Sam’s Club, maybe it was all the freaky (and not cute) Halloween stuff they had up. What happened to cute witches and happy ghosts? Not stringy haired vampires and gargoyles that growl at you when you walk by? Or sinister tree bags.

    Okay, I needed to laugh this morning.

    Hey – a question. Where are your archived posts about your experience with post-partum depression? I could look through them one by one, but, frankly, I’m lazy like that.

      Here’s a link to a search of the term postpartum.

      Here’s a link to the post where I link to my 3-part series about it at Parenting.com.

    Is there any particular reason you are wondering this DYM? Any deep dark secrets in your past that would cause you to spend time pondering on this particular subject?

    LOL! My sides are aching! Stop! Stop!!

    I wonder if it is easy to hose out and clean. That would be very important to me in a body moving device.

    LOL! I’m never going to look at my rolling christmas tree bag the same way again…

    We all should have Angela Lansbury on speed dial! Thank you for saving us all from the sinister tree bags with heavy duty wheels! 😀

    Angela Lansbury is my favorite. The tree bag? Hmmmm.

    Loved this post!! Just helps me realize I’m not the only one with “sinister tree moving bag-o-phobia”!! LOL!!

    I’m feeling gravely concerned that you are trying to besmirch the name of Santa Claus or Rudolph. Please make it clear to all of your readers that the elves – THE ELVES – are the ones guilty of plotting evil.

    Those should NOT be advertised until January. Who wants to think about that now?

  13. grammyelin says

    October 22, 2008 at 8:25 am

    Shady, definitely. I hope no one else clues in to the “real” function of that bag and puts it to good use. Scary, very scary!

    too much murder she wrote? So funny! Thanks for the laugh.

    That is all.

    Oh, to be in your mind for a day – what a daring adventure! Wonderful post. I thought I was weird because that song “Somebody’s Watching Me” could be my theme song. Thanks for scaring the daylights out of me and giving me more reasons to fear the holidays.

    It’s like a funeral home brochure for a Christmas tree. I love the mafia tree casket jokes. So glad I found your blog! I’ll be back.

    • The Daring One says

      October 22, 2008 at 8:17 pm

      Welcome. It’s not always this twisted though. I hope you won’t be disappointed.

  18. Occupation: Mommy says

    October 22, 2008 at 6:21 pm

    You wouldn’t have to limit yourself to a dark and stormy night with this little beauty! Just plaster on a grin like the psychopath, I mean nice lady on the box, and you’re good to go!

    • The Daring One says

      October 22, 2008 at 8:17 pm

      You are so RIGHT! I think somebody needs to write Costco a letter of protest.

  19. Nicole says

    October 22, 2008 at 8:11 pm

    that’s just truly wrong. sinfully funny and wrong.

    I’m going to forward this to Jay with a threatening reminder about picking up his laundry off the floor.

    Totally made me think of “So I Married An Axe Murderer,” especially when Sketchy asked up there if you had a reason to be thinking about this. Have you done something eee-ville?

    Makes me want to go dance around San Francisco at night.

    Definitely don’t want one of those trees though.
