Is it just me or does this seem like a weird gift for a grown woman?

My wife thought it was an utterly stupid idea when
she seen that commercial on TV yesterday.

I told her that it might be a good, early warning, system for a man, throughout the year.
If he comes home, or shows up at his girlfiend's place and see's it all shredded
up, or it's arms & legs missing etc., that it might be time to leave. :cool:

My wife also thought I was utterly stupid for coming up with that. :o
 
I always thought the VT bears were designed to be attractive jewelry holders. Buy the bear, add the expensive ring, necklace, whatever, and that's that. Jewelry and precious metals (gold, silver, platinum) are low on the list this year though. As of today, Mrs. Mc5aw is getting the most valuable Valentine's Day gift imaginable ... A factory sealed case of .223.

How'd the old guns'n'ammo saying go? Gas, center mass, or brass ... nobody rides for free.
 
Well guys, don't go jumpin' to conclusions! When my honey went into the hospital in '92 because she needed to have a kidney removed I bought her a teddy bear, just because it was the only thing I could think of to cheer her up. It was totally unexpected and she totally loved it! Over the years I've gotten her bears for any or no occasion, and she has about 30 now...never bought her a fancy or expensive one though, just some for fun!
 
The only time I can think of it being a good idea is if your going to be gone a while and your married sleeping together. Might be something to fill a little of that void that you leave behind at night.

I still gotta say its pretty creepy. Ranks up there with that add I seen a few years ago. Saying get your momma a pajama gram for Mother's Day. Then they got some scantly clad 20 something year old in the picture.

When my wife had her first surgery for cancer I was in the drug store picking up something for her and I saw a cute bear and bought it for her. She was thrilled and one of her surgeons was astonished that I found such a good one in the drug store. I think he wanted one for one of his kids. My wife named her for herself, calling her Little Connie and giving her a little stretch bracelet. My wife passed in 2011 and barring fire or flood I will always keep that bear...and all the other stuffed animals we gave each other. OK, why's this keyboard blurry....:(

I'd give you 100 "likes" if it were possible, but my keyboard is a bit blurry too. :(

Obviously it depends on the woman. If there's any doubt at all, you can avoid a lot of trouble if you just stick with the jewelry store.

During their first Christmas together, my brother in-law bought my sister an electric razor! She may not have liked a teddy bear, but I bet he wouldn't be hearing about it thirty years later.:)
 
OK Sip, that one is a little large....looks like you could skin it and make a fine coat! My honey's biggest one is maybe a third that size.....it's sitting in the corner of the room staring at me right now......creepy.......:D:D:D
 
Just saw the commercial. The not so subtle implication is that a four and half foot Teddy Bear will make your girl mad with desire for you...

Really? Gonna call BS on that one.

When it comes to Teddy Bears, less is more.
 
I bought Mrs. Hillbilly a teddy bear once for Valentine's Day and she swore at me.

Of course, the bear had on a leather vest and was striking an inappropriate "pose".
That one still gets brought up every now and then.:eek: It's almost like women don't forget stuff or something. :D
 
Assuming a teddy bear this large "did the trick",what caliber would be appropiate? 100,50,or 25 milligram in blue.You older guys know what I'm talking about.:D:D:D
 
If y'all think the size of the bear is weird, I'm still flummoxed as to what the 12" ruler that comes with the bear is for. Clearly the bear is taller then a foot???:confused:
