What, no pictures? :) The husband sounds like a real winner.

Can you imagine trying to decorate around something like that? I wonder if it came in a soft tone Silver Sage that would change with the lighting?

A swing?!?!? What could he have been thinking? (OK. I know. I know.) That would be word than getting a vacuum cleaner or a toaster.

Mars. Venus.

I don't even like strange people coming in my house to look at my sofa, let alone a sex swing.

I'd just be out the $90.

Joanna

And Tracey just what were YOU shopping for? LOL!!

yeah Tracey was it the wrong style for your MBR? didn't go with the WTs?

I can just hear the CL poster's DW now- "if you think that I am taking down the crystal chandelier with the gorgeous drum shade for THAT you are out of your mind."

LOL....I simply have no place to hang it, even if it does offer support in all the right places :-)

Good thing CL is anonymous (oh, and it was in the furniture section!)....can you imagine how much angrier the wife might be if she thought her neighbors or friends might find out? And that her hubby wasn't out to give HER a gift, but really to himself? I guess she's the master of their domain :-)

The funniest line is the husband's "Go figure" comment.

An odd thing happened to us when we sold one of our daughter's bikes: out of the entire metropolitan area, some folks from about a block away, whom we know and see on a regular basis, turned out to be the ones who responded to the ad and bought the bike. We had to promise not to mention anything in front of their daughter before Christmas.

I can only imagine the mortification possibilities with this item...

Heh heh. Swingers.

"Supports up to 400 pounds"?

Oh dear.

ANd to think that I have been unhappy with my touch screen iPod and thinking couldn't he have picked something else. All of a sudden mine seems great!

Good heavens and stars!

Well -- I imagine that they had an interesting Christmas gift-opening session (wonder if anyone else was there)! LOL!

Needing a swing for the front porch.
Running to get on the scales to make sure I'm
under 400 lbs. Lol. Joking.
He didn't know her very well did he?

lol.

What a dumb ass she married!! I can't stop laughing.

I am bumping this up because I think everyone needs to see it.

LMAO I"m gonna call and see if he'll take 60...

I was doing ok until I read it could take 400lbs....I then was worried sick there would be a picture....

oh......ROTFL!!!! Wish I'd been a bug on the wall when the missus opened THAT gift!

I'm bumping this up again because I'm enjoying everyone's remarks. Makes me laugh out loud all over again. LOL

Where is Faron? He needs to see this.

I would think the 400 would be for holding two!

I had held a "big girl toy" party for a girl friend's birthday. We were all dying in hysterics from some of the things offered. The "swing" was in the catalog that we could flip through after the demonstrations were over. Anytime one of the ladies who attended the party is over and my BR door is closed, I say it's so the kids don't use the swing and we laugh til we're crying. If one of the kids hears and says "you don't have a swing in your room" that just sends us into another fit.

I wonder if kids were there when the gifts were opened?

...."Mommie--if you don't want your swing, I can put it in my room..."

You know....the swing might support 400 lbs, but I'd be more worried about the support of the ceiling where you'd be hanging it!

The funny part is the dismay the husband shows in the fact that his wife is not enamored with the xmas gift for her him.

Did any one notice that the swing has a 'bouncy spring' and also rotates 360 degrees according to the specs listed. It doesn't just swing it spins.

Maybe she's a traditonal design fan and a Taiwan Basket would fit their decor better...none of these contemporary strap swings for her! ;)

jim

It probably didn't match the stripper pole...
Some men just have no eye for decorating...

Gotta love Craig's List.

A couple weeks ago, while I was looking through the "household" and "garage sale" listings, and someone was selling adult toys that had "only been used once or twice."

Ewwww.

OK you made me do it - I googled the swing & found some reviews.

From an ad: "Swing until you Sing!"
Various reviews: "Okay, so I had to explain why my ankles were bruised and my wrists were cut to a few people..."
"I love big girls and this can hold them"
"Brad(my boyfriend), Caprice(who is married to Brad and also my sister), and me loooove this swing!"

I have no further comment. :-O

My aunt and uncle had neighbors that were considered "adventurous". They were plus size people. It was a little embarrassing when the husband called my uncle for help patching and painting the LR ceiling, seems it fell through when he took a dive off the dresser onto the bed! My aunt and uncle were pretty hysterical, as you can imagine. Don't think we kids were supposed to overhear that. Heh heh.

evaf~Scary!

Well -- I imagine that they had an interesting Christmas gift-opening session (wonder if anyone else was there)! LOL!

Reminds me of the time my boyfriend's mother (now my mother in law) gave me a fertility doll for Xmas. Opened the present in front of some of his relatives who were meeting me for the first time that day. AWK-WARD. (MIL didn't do it to be provocative; she bought it during a trip to Morocco because she thought it was interesting. Yeah boy.)

okay folks, don't want to give you all the vapors, but try googling the words spinner and woman together and see what you get, and don't blame me for what you read. Blame the internet!

OMG. I am laughing, laughing, laughing. What was he thinking. My mom is here visiting and I was reading the post. My dh just happened to walk by and said do you know what kind of swing they are talking about? I said "yes". He said how do you know about that type of swing? They are all alike. LOL Can you imagine if you opened that gift on Christmas day?

Remember that song by John Anderson "Justa Swanging".
