Ya know, at first I was apprehensive, but now I see this incredible void in my life that can only be filled with a poop panda.

The worst aspect of this “gift” to me is that a person actually hand shapes the poo… talk about a crappy job.

I was in Alaska in July, and they sell moose poo gewgaws of all varieties. Is there anything capitalism *can’t* turn into profit?

Where are you finding these news bytes?… maybe we could sneak a dung beetle into the vignette and make it multi-geographical ! This is a classic example of “you can’t make this stuff up” !

@ellipsisknits and Brian–

Really? I didn’t get from the article that these were to be used as fertilizer. Bamboo (the main ingredient here) has a slow decomposition timeframe, which makes it wonderful for flooring and housing. I can see how other manures might work in the way you suggest, but I’m pretty sure that “knicknack” is this function. Hmmmm. Maybe I’m wrong … Either way, it’s still creepy.

Of all of the things that I have gotten rid of over the years, one has managed to stay around — fake poo. Amazingly, I have found gag uses for it tons of times… and I love to see my husband wince with annoyment over my placement. At some point, I’ll eventually part with it — or bring it to work (I’m sure that you can fathom its purpose in Corporate America).

They’re actually quite handy. You just put them in the garden and let them dissolve.

I think the idea of these things is to put them in your garden as fertilizer. Still bizarre and nasty, but not as bad as putting them in your living room.

It’s probably true. Long while back when I was younger, my dad went off to some remote place. I kept nagging him to get me a souvenir and when he came back, he presented me with a statue of a rhino… made out of rhino crap. It was inside a large cup sealed with plastic wrap, but it was still gross.

I got him back though. I opened the thing and placed it under his bed behind some boxes in his apartment.
