The Potty Putter: Worst gift ever?
Posted on December 2nd, 2008 – 3:49 PMBy Michael Rand
Hey Roger! Did I make a 1 or a 2? (Fake laughter). Oh, hello there. My name is Reginald Q. Fantastic, and I am here to tell you about an amazingly terrible product. It’s called the Potty Putter. And yes, it’s pretty much what it sounds like: a putting green that you put in your bathroom and use while taking care of your business. Let me tell you, it makes an awful, awful Christmas gift. But for some reason, people disagree. Why, it’s sold out until Dec. 9. But after that, you can get your hands on it once again! Don’t just take my word for it, though. Here is what the manufacturer has to say on its web site:
You get home from a long day at work. The kids are bothering you. The wife is being her lovely self. All you want to do is practice your putt but you don’t have the time to hit the course for a few weeks. Well why not work out the kinks in your putting game with our new Potty Putter?
It’s a true innovation in getting the most out of each trip to the restroom. Get one for the office and one for home. Finally, you can play some golf without all those bothersome people. The Bathroom is perhaps your last bastion of freedom so don’t let anyone invade it.
Yes! Escape the realities of the life that you have crafted by retreating to the bathroom! Revel in the accomplishment of sinking a four-inch putt while sitting on the throne! All for just $19.95! And remember, if enough of these are purchased, we will simultaneously save the economy AND cause the world as we know it to end.

Exhibit A on why you never buy used golf clubs, especially putters.
I now hate everything.
Thanks Rand, now we know the result when you google “Lance Bass pants down”.
I do enough ball-handling in the bathroom, thank you very much.
Mr. Randball? Was that picture taken on your honeymoon too?
The only way that thing could get any better/worse is if you changed the color of the hole to brown.

I will not touch that link with a 10 foot pole (pun intended).

Did you just hi-jack your own post?
Also, anyone in RBFFL-Lite wanna trade for the Vikings D before the playoffs?

RE: Williamseseses.
Given that the Packers are toast and the Bears are erratic as all get out, isn’t it a real possibility that the Vikings win the North without the Wall, and their two heavy, prone-to-tiring linemen get a month to rest up for the postseason?
Just throwing it out there.
“It ain’t that free.”
If only he had the Potty Putter to occupy his time instead. Do the make a travel version called the Pocket Potty Putter? (…and bring on the pocket pool jokes)
Vegas still hasn’t posted a line for the Vikings/Lions game. It’s going to be single digits, and smart money’s on Detroit. I’m going to go hide under my bed now.
Sometimes in the morning it’s difficult to avoid creating “casual water hazards” adjacent to the toilet.

I think he was trying to play pocket pool, except the problem was it wasn’t his pocket…
