Let's get the obvious out of the way.
I am immature.
I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old. Now that I got that out of the way...


I was reading an article about keeping sleeping bags clean

http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/gear-guy/How-Should-I-Take-Care-of-My-Sleeping-Bag-20120530.html

I busted up laughing by the second line:

Feathered Friends Swallow for ($399)

where were the marketing guys on this? unless that was their subliminal undertone, hence the article on cleaning the sleeping bag.

And the article author put that in BOLD, for emphasis?

Good times.

well their bags are named after common birds and the swallow is rather common..
on the other hand, the Major Mitchell is a lot more refined but you would expect that from an Aussie bird.
No they don't have a Blue Tit version...
(that would leave you cold,wouldn't it ?)

I'm currently considering their Double Breasted Bed Thrasher.
It's for the "active" sleeper.

ROTFL. Good thing I didn't read this in the morning when I generally have cup of coffee in hand.

Got to be their best selling model. Man, how I'd love to be their regional distributor for the Middle East.

Tom,
I was told it is very versatile and easily mates with the Highland Woodpecker.






[Frank, I'm blaming all this on you]

Roger,

My sense of humor peaked and then stayed level at about the 12 year old level also. I really see no need to let it mature. The 12 year old level of humor makes me laugh and laughter is healthy.

Some of my siblings and friends roll their eyes at things that I laugh at. Their loss in my opinion. Will I go to my grave regretting that I laughed too much at stupid things? I don't think so.

boys are weird

I just ordered the Feathered friends BUSHTIT. It doesn't look very warm- it's just a bag made of noseeum- but I find myself strangely wanting one...

Also, would you really have to clean a Swallow afterwards?

Always liked the good ol' tufted titmouse.

You're on a roll, Greg. Don't stop now. :0)

Edited: I'm tempted to continue with the woodpecker line, but I fear the wrath of Roger C. Back to the peanut gallery.

"boys are weird"

snakes and snails, and puppy dog tails.... ;0)

I think we all are boys at heart like when your 90 year old grandfather ask you to pull his finger.

Cringe, minion!
....
I am still trying to stop laughing.

Their other bag is called the Spit.

You US folk call a bum-bag a 'fanny-pack'.
Why wear a womens sanitary towel? :-)

I found out the word meaning from a girl I met in Bar from Ireland. I use to carry my stuff in small fanny pack so my wallet,keys,knife would not fall out of my pockets when skateboarding.

I said "Let me get some money out of my fanny pack." She started laughing and tell me you really should call it a bum pack and the meaning of the word fanny In Ireland,Scotland,England.

Different countries have different name like in Australia when you get drunk you get Pi$$ed.
Terry

We get piSSed in Scotland too, Terry. ;-)

Sanitary Towel, Mike?!?

How big are the women over there? ;)

and why are heir fannies involved?


A bum bag is what homeless people carry their stuff in.

A UK 'fanny' is what you guys call a 'puSsy'. :-)

Really!?! Crazy

So to you guys, a fanny pack sounds like a good time!

....A gang of sorts


Man Im gonna call everybody at work a big fat fanny! this is great!
