429 Notes

I play on walking around the office with one of those “Pick Your Nose” cups taped to my face. For weeks.

----- Sky B 23.11.08 21:33

forget diamonds, some of those cocktail crabcakes on my ring finger is what’ll really hook me…yum

----- Kim 23.11.08 21:11

My first reaction to the “Calf & Half”?
Sounds like my dating life!

----- Gia 23.11.08 20:35

Dearest Fred & Friends,
From your very first pieces, you had my heart! Oh how I adore your witty industrial designed goods bringing hope for chachkies and such. As an Industrial Designer I truly appreciate your products and wish I could own the entire line. When I saw this massive gift package I didn’t know what to say or do! Oh Fred, how you brighten my day and inspire my design. Please pick me and these fun little do-dads so they will be enjoyed to their fullest potential. You’ll never know how much I truly appreciate you guys!

Sincerely,
Matthew

----- Matthew Kolb 23.11.08 20:35

this right here is a survival kit for Christmas Eve at my house. the tinsel tape not only helps wrap the gifts….but after my aunt enjoys a few too many beers….it helps keep her upright in the chair….as we all stuff ourselves with finger foods…none of which go together….shrimp… a veggie tray…meatballs….and someone is always knocking over the little bowl of toothpicks…but lets not forget the nacho cheese queso dip that gets heated up over and over again…and mess after mess is made trying to scoop the cheese onto your tiny plate….hoping it doesn’t touch the shrimp…and then you wonder….how well the shrimp will go with the queso once it reaches your stomach…but no matter…its the holidays….let the finger food coma begin!!! And as we all sit down to open gifts…we sneak the whoopie cushion under grandpa’s chair…and as we all anticipate the hilarity that is about to happen….he finally sits…and nothing happens…no sound at all….what’s funnier than a whoopie cushion? A faulty whoopie cushion…..these items would definitely find a good home at Christmas at my house :) -whitney

----- whitney h. 23.11.08 19:44

I’d just like to know who did the shopping for this giveaway. What kind of freak fetishes are you trying to feed here?

----- Elizabeth M. 23.11.08 19:09

Love the gun handwarmers!

----- Angela 23.11.08 16:42

Calf & Half is utter-ly fantastic! Brings a whole new meaning to adding fresh moo-moo organic milk to my tea!

----- MonkeeBoo 23.11.08 13:44

Yeah! Finally a way to pick your nose publicly without being ridiculed and pelted with tiny Gerkin pickles!!! W00t!!

----- Jenna 23.11.08 13:09

Pick Your Nose Cups (drinking games perhaps?) seriously no game here. need some cups. my nose is huge…

----- Roland Bango-Fi 23.11.08 12:50

ooh, the delicious and humorous themes in this pack would be perfect for some themed post-holiday socializing- maybe a Pun Party?

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’ (I found it!) but ‘That’s funny …’

Salad is what food eats.

I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work, I want to achieve immortality by not dying.

To whom it may concern,

I would like to announce the recent scientific discovery that beans beans, they’re good for your heart; the more you eat, the more you fart.

Over the last couple of years, my mother has become an avid fan of NotCot, and when she saw this she gave me a juicy ultimatum- I must win this bundle or move out. So its either victory or prostitution. At the moment, I’d like to keep all my organs in order, so here goes!

Thanksgiving theme-
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but she couldn’t find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, “Do these turkeys get any bigger?” The stock boy replied, “No ma’am, they’re dead.”

ENJOY AND REMEMBER THAT LIFE IS SHORT SO CHERISH EVERY HEART BEAT!

(BTW how do you get pikachus on a bus? You Poke-em-on!)

----- Julia 23.11.08 07:42

While we’re on the subject of Fred, what do the design heads at notcot think of Fred Flintstone’s get up? The allover print tattered t-shirt with no pants topped off with that sweet tie is a thing to be admired. Obviously it worked since he was able to pull Wilma, who’s completely out of his class. Seriously, have you seen her ass to waist ratio?

For once my udders won’t be the main attraction coming Christmas!

----- ava divine 23.11.08 07:26

I really want to have a film set set up around my gin and titanic with celine dion playing in the background.

----- Steven Kaplan 23.11.08 05:06

UDDER ly delightful!

----- Anam 23.11.08 03:11

Always asking us to be clever, always wanting the funny. A Rhyme, a rap, a clever prose riddled with puns and perfectly punctuated palliteration (I bet you pronounced the silent p in that last word, didn’t you? Amateurs!)? I clearly am the most deserving, most cleverly smartest, most alarmingly disarmingly beautiful, most funniest person to grace this wall since the start of this giveaway!

How you could pick anyone else would be beyond common sense, and even uncommon sense, really. You people with your TINY brains and misplaced funny bones make me laugh. Ha. HA. HAHAHA. You say, “oh, these are so cute! OMG LOL”. These things are only for CLEVER people, to do CLEVER things with! What would you know about doing clever things?! I can just see you with this basket before you; you would be paralyzed by your lack of clever ideas.

You would think, “Oh, I’ll fill up these Gin and Titonic cubes,” or “these paper cups would be great for drinking out of.” And that would be that. I, on the other hand, would have so many clever and hilarious ideas that I would probably have to go out and buy more of this stuff just to do everything I was thinking! I cannot go on any further; I am shaking at the thought of this going to some undeserving CRETIN. Oh…ooooohhh, nooo. (shiver)

----- Bree Graczyk 23.11.08 00:54

“three men walk into a bar. the four one ducks. ;)

----- aaron kirchner 23.11.08 00:46

so clever and fun!

----- Colleen Redmond 22.11.08 22:50

Goodness… So many amusing comments thus far.

I’ll make it short.

----- Tyler 22.11.08 19:40

the pick your nose cups are pure fun. :))

----- aaron 22.11.08 18:31

if you look at how you use each of these things, it’s preferable to use your fingers. not really for arms.

----- Kyle Knapp 22.11.08 17:14

I pondered over how to impress such a discerning audience as this, i am not particularly funny so i thought perhaps the best thing to do was to share an intimate secret. to that end (no laughter till the end please) i have always harboured the secret desire to record a hip-hop album, and while street cred and bravado allude me, i already have a name picked out: “A Brief History of Rhyme” (Steve Hawking in the House yo, Holler!)

----- Simon 22.11.08 16:51

a whole prize package of fred stuff, heck yeah!

side note: what is up with those giant pick me comments above? the first one looked good, but the other ones, not so hot…

----- Josh 22.11.08 15:10

If you pick me, I’ll carry you like a baby.

----- Alex 22.11.08 14:47

moinsen from germany…

playing super nintendo is super, just like the name says… but this stuffs much more super.
chilling at home, at a saturday night playing marios island is fun, but this stuff would make probably everything totaly awsome. so, don’t think about your decison and just give me that stuff.. i need it. inned friends, and i probably will get them, when i have this package.

cheers, ben

----- Ben 22.11.08 14:04

----- matt wilder 22.11.08 06:44

To illustrate how much I want it I will sing an excerpt from High School Musical 3, I Want It All:
Don’t you see that bigger is better
And better is bigger
A little bit is never enough
No, No, No!

Don’t you want it all!
You want it, you know that you want it
The fame and the fortune and more
You want it all, you want it, you know that you want it
You gotta have your star on the door
You want the world nothing less, all the glam and the press
Only givng you the best reviews
Sing it!
I want it all
I want it, I want it, Yeah
My name in lights at Carnage Hall
I want it all!

----- Andy Bo Bandy 22.11.08 05:51

I WANT FRED!

Let’s be honest here, it’s all about the calf-n-half. The rest of the stuff is just along for the ride. But I’ll take it…all of it. Love Fred.

----- Lex 22.11.08 04:21

Goodness. There are an awful lot of funny and creative people commenting on this one. I think I’m too lazy to stand a chance. Here’s to hoping the judges are feeling too lazy to read through all of these and so choose the winner at random. Save time. Choose at random. Let me be the lucky one.

----- patguy 21.11.08 15:37

That milk jug makes me happy in ways that I do not quite understand.

----- Graeme 21.11.08 14:21

i never know what to do when relatives and family friends tell me to hold their babies for a while. i don’t know how to hold them properly - what i do is place one hand under each armpit with baby at a safe distance, an arm’s length in front of me. a few seconds later the baby’s head is tilting backwards and he’s gargling. looks like he’s having a good time already. in comes the frantic parent, swooping in to save the child: “you’re supposed to support his head! he doesn’t have control of his neck yet!”

it’s awful nice to have a neck that knows what to do with the thing above it.

----- joanne 21.11.08 14:20

There is nothing that I could use more than a little “Finger Food” plate to put on my finger for social gatherings, after guzzling a few (alcoholic) drinks from “pick your nose” cups, I’d need a little extra support to keep my food plate from falling!!!

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of pun-ness! (Love these items!)

----- Stacy B. 21.11.08 07:44

Fred, it’s not an amusement park. Grow up and give this stuff to me for recycling. RIGHT NOW

----- estetas 21.11.08 07:42

You know, there are people in your life who are just impossible to shop for during the holidays… Until some mad genius comes along and puts together the perfect package for all of them!

I’m sure crazy Uncle Randy won’t sneeze at an opportunity to show off his many colorful characters as he picks his nose ad nauseum. We’ll suffer the indignity if only to save face. And speaking of personalities, both of Aunt Gladys’ will cluck over a salt and pepper shaker with such doppleganger-like duality. Her dark and sunny sides can never seem to agree, but with such a ducky device, perhaps she won’t be so foul to be around.

And are those hand warmers not hitting the bullseye for Grandpa? God love him for his heated moments - and he always has a holster full of them - and what better way to fire them off than with a couple of heaters that give him the warmth and six-gun satisfaction of the authority he once packed with him everywhere but is now way to dangerous for him to wield for real. But we can’t forget Grandma either! While she’s sheriffing her pistol packing Papaw, she herself can cry Cowabunga! with her udderly perfect cup of coffee, made so by the moovingly beautiful and functional bovine-themed creamer glass. So now when Gramps starts giving her beef, she can steer his moood in a less bullish direction. She’ll joyfully milk that situation!

The ice cube trays could go to my chillier relations, and of course, the magnets would be useful in chewing out of sticky situations with friends. What I’m trying to say is that the whole package would be an awesome gift all wrapped up in shiny, shiny tinsel tape. Merry Christmas, indeed!

Why did the chicken cross the playground?

To get to the other SLIDE!

Seriously, I need this. coolest. stuff. ever.

Deer nuts, because they’re below a buck! OOOH!

Okay so maybe I only know lame jokes, but I’ll throw them all out there if it means I can have my own personal pair of cream filled udders… that didn’t sound right…


Need another bad joke? I have a million!

What did the fish say when it hit the wall?

…?

Dam.

Tee hee, that one I much enjoy.

Pick me? Please? I would love you forever… not that I don’t already but… sorry, I’m pathetic…

She had always wanted to be clever, of course, so she always sought out the cleverest people at parties. They were easy to find, laughing in small groups, flirting with other clever people, showing off their latest clever finds. She lingered near them, nodding at their witty remarks, admiring their avant-garde accessories and decor, hoping they’d accept her as one of their own.

Oh, she had picked up a few tricks along the way to help. When one can’t be clever, she realized, one had to at least avoid being awkward. So she always wore black and learned to cultivate an air of sophisticated silence to avoid conversations that might reveal how truly unclever she really was. She had even mastered the fine arts of nodding knowingly, namedropping designers from Notcot, and laughing appropriately, even if she didn’t get the joke.

But no matter how hard she tried, there was just one obstacle to cultivating the clever friends she so adored: she could never, ever invite them to her home. That’s how the clever people always discovered she was not one of them. Her ice cubes and magnets weren’t amusing shapes, and she didn’t have a single cunning cup or salt & pepper shaker to amuse a guest. Oh, most of them tried to be polite, to stay long enough for a cup of tea before beating a hasty exit, but she knew they wouldn’t return.

Afterward, she always sighed deeply to herself, wondering how these clever people found all their clever things. She silently wished for a fairy godfather to bring her a few fun accessories, like a whimsical laptop tote to take to the cafe, or a droll cream pitcher for when she served up organic coffee and amusing stories.

Searching clever things on the computer one morning, she shared her tale with the world before leaving for work. If only her pleas were heard, if only someone would take pity, perhaps she’d finally be the one to have an amusing hand-warmer and fun holiday tape on her packages.

She left for the day with a spark of hope and a spring in her step. Maybe, just maybe, her wish would come true. Maybe her fairy godfather was Fred.

I need a set of udderly fantastic gifts, because I am Stuck on what to buy for my family this year. My Luckey husband, my dad with his Salt and Pepper hair, my mum and my sisters. My Hands are Warm, deep in my pockets looking for my wallet ready to find that perfect gift. Perhaps if I gave my mum a Gin and Titonic set her Smile wouldn’t Freeze in horror this christmas and maybe if I got my Dad the Spoon Rest, Finger Food wouldn’t be thrown in my direction! If I wrap my sisters gifts in tinsel tape maybe they won’t realise the horror beneath. As for my husband, well you can’t beat the Classic mix Cassette!

I have a complaint:
I love notcot. I’m on here so frequently looking for new pages/updates that my workplace has added it to there banned sites list!! Most of the stuff is unavailable to me anyway, living in England and all. When things are available they tend to be over-expensive due to shipping charges etc. I will continue to be a loyal fan but unfortunately my fanship will have to take place outside working hours now. I may even lose my job!! Well, enough complaining; if only there was a way that you could re-pay my loyalty and make it up to me…

SEX SEX SEX, OH NO!!!!!!
Just a funny story. Use to work in a foreign film lab which was great cause I got to watch foreign films all the time and the beautiful “foreign” women would come in often to check them out and watch them for school (also a perk). So the TV I had access behind the counter was the master, which also showed on all the other TV’s on a certain channel. Well I was watching a beautiful Spanish picture (I believe it may have been a Pedro Almodovar film)and it was his typical intense romance psychological thriller stuff. I was answering emails on my laptop and wasn’t immediately watching the movie when a patron came in, so I paused the movie like I always have. She was this gorgeous TA from Columbia that just blew me away and we always had nice talks about films. This day she wasn’t her normal self at the desk. She seemed really anxious and her facial expressions told me I either had something on my shirt or face or teeth or something worse. I got this terrible feeling in my stomach. She said “uhhhhh,,,” I turn and the film is paused RIGHT WHEN THE MAN IS PLEASURING HER NETHER REGIONS!!! To add insult to injury I look around the lab and three or four other people have the same scene paused on their screens and they were all turning to look at me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wanted to die. Never lived that down and everyone in that lab at the time (all girls and 1 guy) forever thought I was some perv. Could have used that gun Fred could have used that gun…

Alas, it has been too long of a day to be clever enough to win this fantastic package. It totally would’ve made my family’s stockings, too, because this is exactly the kind of thing we fill each other’s stockings with (one year my mother jokingly asked for straws, so we filled her entire stocking with as many varieties of straws as we could muster. Apparently there are a lot of different kind of straws. And now we’re good on straws for years to come.)

A Mother had 3 virgin daughters and they were all getting married within a short time period. Because Mom was a bit worried about how their sex life would get started, she made them all promise to send a postcard from the honeymoon with a few words on how marital sex felt.

The first girl sent a card from Hawaii two days after the wedding. The card said nothing but “Nescafe”. Mom was puzzled at first, but then went to the kitchen and got out the Nescafe jar. It said:

“Good till the last drop”.

Mom blushed, but was pleased for her daughter.

The second girl sent the card from Vermont a week after the wedding, and the card read: “Benson & Hedges”. Mom now knew to go straight to her husband’s cigarettes, and she read from the Benson & Hedges pack:

“Extra Long. King Size”.

She was again slightly embarrassed but still happy for her daughter.

The third girl left for her honeymoon in the Caribbean. Mom waited for a week, nothing. Another week went by and still nothing. Then after a whole month, a card finally arrived.

Written on it with shaky handwriting were the words “British Airways”. Mom took out her latest Harper’s Bazaar magazine, flipped through the pages fearing the worst, and finally found the ad for BA. The ad said:

“Three times a day, seven days a week, both ways.”

Mom fainted…

the other day this girl told me a super hilarious story about how her mom walked in on her masturbating. i know… girls and masturbation are like.. something you cant talk about but the whole reason it was so funny to me was that we were in public when she was telling me this story. she was sitting on her couch in her house alone one high school afternoon, found her hand down her pants and was ahem.. amusing herself.. her mom walks in from a long day at work and is walking through the living room into the kitchen making small talk and what not. at this point the girl doesnt get caught but every time her mom walks in and out of the room she quickly finds a way to hide it. eventually though after the 5th time of what do you want for dinner, her mom,while snacking on chips, finally catches her.. she goes HONEY, thats why you have a bed room with a door! the girl storms upstairs and screams RAVIOLI!

Today wasn’t such a good day for me. I woke up on the front lawn of a house I have never seen before in a city whose name I cannot pronounce wearing nothing but one brown sandal which wasn’t the right size and wasn’t even on my foot.

So then I was left to wander the streets, alone and cold with prying eyes staring disdainfully at my tinker toys until I was picked up by the local law enforcement and taken back to the station where I stayed for an indiscernible amount of time until I was eventually picked up by my wife, who by the way says that I should, in light of recent events, use that term loosely, whatever that means.

You know, the worst part about all of this is that this isn’t the first time this has happened. Actually its the fourth. Sure the names and places have changed and the articles of clothing have varied, but other than that, pretty much the same. At least I have learned something from all of this though and that is that jail is a very somber and sad place, especially for the nude.

It is because of this new found knowledge that you find me here, entering this comment. This event will most likely happen again and as such, I would like to be prepared by wrapping my twig and berries with that tinsel tape and style it like a Christmas tree so I could at least bring a little holiday cheer to my fellow jailbirds after what is becoming a normal post church occurrence. Thank you for your consideration.

So the other weekend, I got so drunk that I ended up with my head in a trash can all night long. I ended up crashing out on my friend’s couch, still with my head in the trash can. Next to me was my guy friend getting it on with some girl. The girl’s head was next to my butt, and every time I started to throw up, I’d fart at the same time. Instead of moving the girl, my guy friend kept her right next to my butt, thus allowing her to get a whiff of the glory that was my flatulence.

In an attempt to leave an amusing comment, I will now tell you my most embarrasing moment….
When I was applying to college, I wanted to be a designer, but also to play soccer. So i picked schools that had soccer teams and sent out tapes of me playing for the coaches to see. To my excitement, the coach from Savannah College of Art and Design called me back! I was in a store with a friend when the phone rang and here is how the conversation went: “Hello?” “Hi, Is this Niki?” “Yes” “Hi, this Coach **** from SCAD calling you back about your try out tape.” “Oh Great!” “Yea…well…did you know the tape you sent us didn’t have any soccer on it?” “What? was it blank?, I’m sorry it must have been a mistake. I can send another.” “No, no. It wasn’t blank…but it did have a bunch of girls sitting around a room….and a…stripper.” “WHAT!????”-
Ok at this point my mind was racing, and I suddenly remembered. At my best friends 16th birthday party my mother had the brilliant idea of embarrassing her by getting her a male stripper (who only stripped down to his pants ((thank god)) ) dressed as a cop. I had accidentally sent out a tape of that glorious event instead of my soccer tape. The best part of all is that the coach was in a room with some important school officials when he turned on the video and everyone got to witness it in my name….
Whelp, in the end, the coach was very amused and invited me to come try out for the team in person. I did make the team in the end (although I did not end up going to SCAD) but the coach never let me forget the tape the whole time I was there.
I hope that satisfies your amusement needs!

Here’s my favorite joke, courtesy of the [blog] (www.titleofshow.com/blog)

So this guy goes into a bar in a little town in Alaska and he’s pretty down in spirits (and he downs some spirits). The bartender strikes up a conversation with him and he learns that the fella is glum because he feels like he’s done everything he’s ever wanted to do in the world. A fellow patron a few stools away gets into the conversation and asks the guys if he’s ever climbed Mt. Everest. “Sure have” our hero says. “Twice.” The other barfly asks - well have ever swam the English Channel? “Yep,” he retorts. This goes on for ten minutes or so until another fella at the bar asks him, “Hey, have you ever seen the Foo?” “The what?”…”The Foo.” He further explains that the Foo is a creature that lives in the mountains in Northern Alaska but that anyone who has ever gone to see him has met a fateful fate. The legend claims that if you come in contact with the foo’s feces and then try to wash it off, you’ll turn to stone.
Intigued, our hero decides he’s going to capture the Foo as his last grand feat on the planet. The next morning he gathers a small hunting party and heads off to the mountains. Several days of camping go by and on the fourth day, he and the group decide they could cover more territory by splitting up and meeting back at the camp later that night. Our fellow takes off on his own and after several hours he stops to take a nap under a tree. Unbeknownst to him in his slumber, the Foo comes along and shits all over him. He wakes to the stench and immediately races down the hill to a small pond and leaps in to wash it off. He instantly turns to stone. The campers sadly find the solid-rock body of our hero the next day.
The moral of the story: If the Foo shits, wear it.

Sure, it’s probably old. You might have heard it before. But I love Fred and their products to the point where the lady at Borders kicks me out of the novelty section at the store closing time because I can’t decide between the batter finger and the foot in the door. Hope ^ that got me a chance at winning!

Jill: “Daddy, I have a voice inside of my head that tells me things that other people can’t hear”
Dad: “Really, What is the voice inside of your head saying while I am talking to you?”
Jill: “It is saying Blah, Blah, Blah.. Whatever!”

----- joann 20.11.08 18:22

The best way to win: make the judge of the contest laugh.

NOW. Imagine Ben Stein saying, “meoowww.” nice and slow-like. Awesome, right?

----- Laura 20.11.08 18:01

As much as I would love to keep all of these things for myself…I can think of a few deserving friends that could get a laugh out of these. It’s not re-gifting if you didn’t receive it as a gift first right?

Thank you so much for the opportunity to win some of the goodies that I see on your website everyday!! Good luck everyone!

Here is my attempt at humor, I saw this not long after the economy started saturating the news:

A man went to his bank manager and said, “I’d like to start a small business. How do I go about it?”

“Simple,” said the manager. “Buy a big one and wait.”

----- Jeff M. 20.11.08 16:24

My friend Fred just got his cassette memorial film (Forget cassettes?) in to a London short film festival, he really deserves a new nose.

It seems like if Fred were your friend, he would be that friend that everyone rolls their eyes at. Jokey gifts, clever names, rhymes, puns… I wish Fred were my friend. Actually, I think I may know Fred.

----- Lindsey 20.11.08 15:59

Must have the nose cups. 1) because I love Gogol’s story ‘The Nose’ and 2) it would give me a chance to say “You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose”.

----- Dan 20.11.08 15:33

I went over to Fred’s blog to see what would really amuse them… I think it’s fair to say that what amuses them most, is them? Right? I mean, they say it in the blog entry titled: “Tis the Season for Gift Guides” that they like making stuff, getting more press, posting about the press and making more stuff to get more press to post about it. And while they feel their blog is about the reader, this contest is about Fred. So, while I don’t own a big website or magazine or anything like that, I can’t give them exactly what they want. The amusement of themselves. But I can say that 1. A lot of the previous comments and future ones have some really funny jokes, that I will remember only partially and tell me friends a “me” version of the joke, which they will not think is funny because I am a really bad joke teller and 2. While the media continues to tell us that practical gifts should be the expectation this year, I’m happy to know that Fred’s stuff is practical and funny. Because anyone in that dire of a holiday situation that only needs/gets practical gifts really needs to lighten up… and I think calf & half will bring a smile to those folks face.

Will it improve the quality of my life? No, but my mudkips will be happy!

What if you had the ability to know the thoughts of something but only if you killed it?

Walking down the street you step on an ant and suddenly you know that ant was thinking, “Must get food for the queen, must get food for the queen, I must get her attention again…we shared something special last night, I know it. Wha…Look out human…ahhhhhhh

Or you hit a bird driving home and you hear, “Those darn chicks are so freakin’ needy! How much food do I have to eat and throw up into their mouth before they finally just sleep? I just want to get to fly around again with out worrying about a stinkin cat breaking in and…whoa…uh!

I bet it would be rather depressing but sometimes you would feel like you helped some psycho depressed squirrel or something but mostly I think it would be hard. I am going to write a book that contains examples of this terrible gift but I need to brainstorm with some people and so I need creative party materials to be sure I get the most out of my guests.

…or something like that.

This is going to sound really lame, but the first thing I saw on that list was “hand warmer”. All my friends think I have some kind of circulatory issue because I’m always cold, and right now my hands literally feel like I’ve been holding snow. But here’s the catch, I live in Florida. (Maybe New Hampshire for Xmas isn’t a good idea…)

Aside from that, the cassette tote is a must for any die-hard music fan. Me wants!

I know I can’t do as good a job as you guys at NOTCOT so how about you continue what you’re good at, entertaining me, and pick me to win all this great stuff.

----- brett 20.11.08 14:22

Shameless design hipster here,

I have to say I am in LOVE with Fred & Friends, and if I could collect all of their brilliant wares I certainly would.

For starters, I have a serious fetish for novel ice-cube trays, and I wasn’t able to find the Gin & Titonic’s for ages; it’s time to usher them into my collection.

As a tea specialist, the Calf & Half will go perfectly among my tea equipage!

And, for my nights out on the town, that fierce Cassette Tote will be a good companion for my current silver turntable tote!

Please, NotCot, COMPLETE ME!

Dear Fred,
I’ve been feelin’ awful blue lately. The weather here in Michigan will just suck the fun right out of ya. Since the dark clouds have rolled in, I often find myself sitting in my little lonesome apartment, petting my cat, and looking awfully forlorn, i’m sure. I do think, however, that you have the capacity to brighten up my long winter days…
Love,
L00sh.

----- please sir 20.11.08 14:07

I want the pair of jeans that when *I* wear them, *everyone’s* butt looks better. Does Fred have that yet? No? Er, um, okay, then I’d like this other stuff instead. Thank you.

----- Kevin 20.11.08 14:03

I bought the cassette tote for my boyfriend, Robert, for his birthday a couple months back. He absolutely loved it and carried it everywhere with him. He likes to paint and draw and collage and whatnot. So that’s mainly what he carried with him. One day I borrowed it and so I could use his art supplies. The bag was made of very thin biodegradable material, which I didn’t really expect. So as I got on the train platform to board the CTA, I hear a sizzling sound from inside the bag. When I look inside I see my soda had fizzled all over the place. All over his sketchbook and his random cutouts he was using to make a collage. I knew he would be so mad, so I ended up calling him and telling him that I was spending the weekend with my friend Laura, who painstakingly helped me recreate all of his drawings and find similiar cutouts for his collage (after tracking down ten issues of Vice magazine). We were never able to get the stickiness from the soda out of the bag (I told him his glue got everywhere from his collages and he beleived it). So I would love to give this to him for Christmas, because he was so upset about what happened :(

Here is Fred.
Fred is evil,
But Fred is nice.
Fred can swindle the Devil with goodies and things
Not once but twice.

Fred’s my best friend—
Oh, how I love him so.
Together we spend
Stitching fabrics; with needles we sew.

Oh Fred, Oh Fred,
With you ultimate style,
You make it a habbit,
And it gets me excited!

He’ll slice and dice,
He’ll taint and fabricate
and make everthing nice.

Fred is an ace,
Fred make things for the human race—
But sometimes only for me!

I love my Fred.

----- dougroovy 20.11.08 12:09

It’s jingle time!
For the lovers of nautical,
there’s nothing more hot or cool
than a glass of gin and titonic.
And the prosh Salt & Peeper is a sure fire keeper,
ready to shake, an unusual chick.
If you want beverage adventures,
Frozen smiles provides it with strange icy dentures.
Wish you had a new nose? Well don’t be morose
The pick your nose cup is like clothes for the nose!

I’d right a jingle for every product but I’m sure you’re going to have hundreds of comments to go through here, so I’ll close with a very random joke:

Q: Where can you find a dog with no legs?
A: Right where you left him!

----- Jessica J. 20.11.08 11:54

I was looking at NOT.COT all sad and depressed
To my great surprise, I found this lovely contest
that would save me from my life that’s very messed.
But to explain this, a few things need to be confessed.

See a few weeks ago, my parrot started to protest
He said I was crazy, putting salt in him was obsessed!
When I glued plates on rings for my favorite guests
they said their jewels were ruined, they weren’t impressed.

So I decided to bring home a cow, just as a test
she wasn’t happier than my parrot, as you might have guessed.
When I put her on the table she screamed, as possessed
She would kick me any time I’d come slightly near her breasts.

They say ”Use a normal opener!”, but who needs the quest?
so all my keys are broken, this I truly detest.
When I put a note on my fridge there’s gum all over my vest.
Just because I hate real magnets I’m never properly dressed.

But oh there is more: my cold hands make me stressed!
My cassettes are small, my spoon needs a rest,
and actual teeth are really hard to digest.
All of these problems made me lose all my zest.

Now that you’ve heard my story, I have a small request
I think I have proved that I need this box more than the rest
So pick me and I’ll scream ”Fred’s the best! The Best!!”
For you’d be saving me from cuckoo’s nest.

WITTY COMMENT HERE…now gimme gimme gimme!

----- Michael La Calameto 20.11.08 11:22

Fred and his Friends stood behind the Tensel Tape backstage at the Salt and Peeper concert with Frozen Smiles. Was it that good or were they just Stuck Up? It must have been bad because the band invited them to the after party where they drank Gin and Titonics and munched on Finger Food. Fred got Luckey and went home with the Hot Shot hired gun who’ll want to Spoon Rest afterward. Clearly Fred’s Friends would not have his luck. In his usual cocky manner, Fred shouted out “Guys, don’t just stand there and Pick Your Nose” on his way out. Wanting to Pound him for embarrassing them, but not admittedly being Party People, they cruised out to their beater, popped the bootleg Classic Cassette into the dash and went for a cup of Calf and Half.

I wish those utters came in ‘food grade silicone rubber that can withstand temperatures of -58F to 446F. The matte finish’ would ‘make(s) gripping easy and distribute(s) heat and cold evenly.’ I would consider it to be ‘Versetile and durable’ and my friends woud think of it as ‘an all-around great performer.’ would I go as far as to call it ‘- Dishwasher safe’? who knows, that remains a mystery… (but yeah. i would.)

----- zenius 20.11.08 10:32

Oh man, I’ve been eyeing some of these things for quite a while over at

----- TurntheCity aka Ashley 20.11.08 10:29

this new breed of cow is rather fascinating.
rather than its utters dispensing milk down into a bucket,
U add the bucket of milk to its utters, only to dispense of it, upside down.

Since I’m done with class for the day, an ABC poem:

A is for Awesome, this pile of stuff,
B is for Bird— it shakes seasonings enough.
C is for Cream from a fabulous jug,
D is for Dentures afloat in a mug.
E is for Excellent, word apropos
F is for Fred and his Friends—great? Fo’ sho’!
G is for Guns, which will warm my cold hands,
H is Hors D’oeuvres, on those great finger stands.
I is for Icebergs, which sink an ice liner,
J is for Jealous of comments deemed finer.
K is for Key which could open a beer,
L is for Lo, how these things could bring cheer!
M is for Magnets like gum on a seat,
N is for Nifty, for nice, and for neat.
O is for One with these things—someone blessed!
P is for Packages, tinsel-ly dressed.
Q is Quintessence of clever, these goods,
R is for Revel in noses, I would(s).
S is for Spoon rest, for keeping things clean,
T is for Tape, a bag great for a teen.
U is for Useful, and this stuff is quite,
V is for Vision—this box is a sight!
W, Wonderful, everything here,
X is (e)Xtraordinary, for these things I cheer.
Y is for Yearning, I look on with want,
And Z is for Zeal, my desire I flaunt!

I spent way too much time on that, but I hope it’s amusing? Anyway, suffice it to say that I think everything on this page is lovely.

Oh my god becky, look at that stuff, it is soo dope,
i mean it looks like one of those hipster giveways.
But, you know, who understands those damn hipsters anyways?

They only talk to you, because,
they think you might be in a band, ‘kay?
I mean, their sunglasses, are just so big.
I can’t believe it’s just so round, it’s like,
out there, I mean - bitchin. Look!
They’re just so …cool?

(lol this is my ode to baby got back hipster style- Love all the gear none the less)

There’s a ship floating on the Atlantic and the first mate is sitting in the crow’s nest. “Captain,” he calls out, “There’s an enemy ship ahead on the horizon.” The captain says, “Bring me my red shirt!” The first mate was confused, but he went ahead and brought the captain his red shirt. The shipmates and captain waged a bitter battle against their enemies and, in the end, won. Afterwards, the first mate asked, “Sir, why did you ask me to bring you your red shirt?” The captain replied, “I wanted my red shirt because, if I was wounded, no one would be able to see it and all you men will continue fighting bravely.” The first mate thought that this was very noble.

The next day, the first mate was in the crow’s nest again. “Captain, there’s 50 enemy ships on the horizon!” The captain commanded, “Bring me my brown pants!”

Hope you find that amusing!

----- Grace 20.11.08 07:54

Fred and Friends looks like a gang I would want to join. It looks like a lot of really good stuff. Hopefully the initiation is as awesome as their products.

An old man and a young boy have a donkey and are walking through a town and he puts the boy onto the donkey. Everyone who walks by them complains that the old man should be on the donkey, so he gets on, and takes the boy off. Everyone else who walks by them now complains that the boy should be on the donkey, so the old man gets off, and he and the boy begin to walk. Everyone who passes them by complains that they’re stupid for not using the donkey, so they both get on, and as expected, everyone complained, but for the poor donkey. The old man thought it would be a good to carry the donkey, but unfortunately it fell off of a bridge. The moral of the story is that everyone will complain about your ass no matter what.

(I hope that wasn’t too boring)

----- Melissa 20.11.08 07:22

Fred and I are going to get married.
You will be invited, of course, for introducing us.
I will most likely go down the aisle in nothing, but that fashionable and chic cassette bag.
We will serve milk, instead of champagne, out of the utter pitcher.
I guess you can send me this package.
I will consider considering it a wedding gift.
:)

----- Klaira 20.11.08 07:16

I want to be one of Fred’s friends too!!!

----- rafael 20.11.08 07:15

Dear Notcot,
I have been considering a nose job, almost my whole life. Ever since IT happened. Of course, being a design student from a “humble” family, money is scarce and life does not allow me to have an “acceptable” nose.

I have been looking for less expensive ways to lead a normal life, so I have been wearing a good alternative since i’m 8 years old. Unfortunately, the nose comes with thick fake glasses and a mustache, not good with the ladies.
I think the nose cups would make a great temporary solution to my problem, at least until I become a design super-star. So I ask you to please grant me my wish.
Do not do it for me, do it for the sake of compasion.

----- ourtimes 20.11.08 07:10

You can pick your friends but you can’t pick your friends nose cup!

Poem!

There once was an amazing person named fred.
When his(and his friends)stuff ended up on notcot, I said,
I don’t have any money,
but if I lamely attempt to be funny,
I might end up with some stuff to play with as I eat whole wheat bread.

----- wowfredisamazing 20.11.08 03:19

i won’t even try to leave an amusing comment - you guys seem to have a different definiton for that.

----- balazs 20.11.08 02:58

When I cook for my friends and family, they always say it is *peeping* delicious. They always ask for my secret recepy. My secret for those delicious meales is mostly adding some peep-magic, so I point my fingers towards my blunt looking shaker set and they start laughing at me. I bet they will stop laughing at me when I put the birdy there. They’ll probably go like; “Holy *PEEP*, nice!”

----- HoodieFreak 20.11.08 02:51

The cassette tote is masculine and also creative.

The finger food plates are not only pure genius, but incredibly functional, as I have often walked by a cake on the counter, taken a small piece and had nowhere to put it (I never want to get out a large plate for such a small piece, because then you have to clean it). Ultimately I eat half the cake within 2 hours, the small pieces and hopefully these Finger Food plates, will make me feel like I wasnt such a piggy. The small pieces make me feel little!!!! yay I love being in denial!

Those nose cups are also fantastic, but dont give them to me as I will never use them, I would treat them like art and I would likely just put them lined up on a shelf upside down to create a nose mountain range.

----- Kirk 20.11.08 02:51

Cookies need to come in the shape of dragons an knights more often. I’ve seen cookies in the shape of Luke Skywalker, or as he was originally named Luke Starkiller. Why aren’t more cookies shaped like dragons and knights? Imagine baking a delicious set of cookies that were in the shapes of dragons and knights. Once they are baked you could then set up an epic battle scene with your cookies. Of course if you did this I think NOTCOT would certainly have to feature you, but the greatest satisfaction would come from knowing that in a battle between dragons and knights you won, because eventually they all end up in your tum-tum.

Seems it’s time for a joke..

A duck waddles into a bar and hops on a stool. The bartender, irritated, says, “What’ll you have?”

The duck says, “Got any pickles?”

The bartender spits and says “We don’t have pickles here, We serve drinks. Now get out!”

The duck hops off the stool and waddles out.

The next day, the same duck waddles into the same bar, hops on a stool, looks the bartender in the eye and asks, “Got any pickles?”

The bartender, irritated, says, “I told you yesterday we don’t serve pickles here, we serve drinks, now GET OUT!”

The duck hops off the stool and waddles out.

The next days the same duck waddles into the same bar and hops on a stool, looks at the bartender, and asks: “Got any pickles?”

The bartender, infuriated, POUNDS his fist on the bar and yells at the duck. “I told you two times we don’t serve pickles here, we serve drinks! If you ask me ONE MORE TIME, I’m going to nail your beak to the bar! NOW GET OUT!”

With that the duck shrugged, hopped off the stool, and waddled out.

The next day, the same duck waddled into the same bar, hopped on a stool, looked the bartender in the eye and asked: “Got any nails?”

The bartender, puzzled, said “No.”

The duck then looked him square in the eye and said, “Got any pickles?”

Thank you!
