Oh, PLEASE! Can I have these in my house!? I have two daughters- 20 and 16. I have a son- 18. I have a pregnant dog about ready to give birth. And I’m in the throes of perimenopausal hell.
PLEASE! Can I have MORE emotional crap flying around my house?
/end sarcasm
I have to go cry now, then get mad and throw something at a whiny teen-ager.
You know, my mom always called birch trees “happy trees”. (fuck if I know why) But she never went around putting actual words on them and selling them to anyone and she’s about as big of a hippie as one can get. Seriously. She lives on a gd co-op farm.
Patty – I’d hug you but I’m afraid you’d start crying uncontrollably… or punching me in the face. (I’m in perim, but luckily it’s just me, my husband and my non-sexual dogs.)
Wait…wait. Some asshole ruined a perfectly good vintage storybook, that which is actually useful for people to…you know…READ…to make useless bits of $20 crap?
These nuts are at least a thousand times better looking & more appetizing than the last set belonging to the cowboy, which look like ground hamburger going through an extruder.
Have you seen the description? “Much like a toddler or a teenager these acorns are so emotional!” Hey mom, FYI a teenager and an acorn have NOTHING in common. And the minute an Acorn gets hit with acne, backne and pubic hair I would like to be the first to know.
I’m glas someones nuts are feeling pretty lucky. I mean maybe emotions and nuts have a lot in common with a teenage boy..but, toddler… choking hazard “my son choked to death from luck”..
I need to see if I can scrounge up $20 because I can definitely think of a good use for them. I teach early kindergarten, and I can see how I could use them for social skills type lessons/activities
Then again, I don’t know about you, but in order for a PMS acorn to be accurate for me, it would read “homicidal chocolate fiend” and that would have to be a pretty big acorn.
Authentic vintage text on fake acorns. One requires the ruining of a perfectly good, likely out-of-print storybook, the other the gathering of discarded plant matter. Only ONE reason that these are so, well, WRONG…
This must be her version of those little pom-pom guys with a saying. You peeled of the bottom and stuck them on anything you wanted and they were a colored, soft ball with googly eyes and a saying attached to them on a ribbon.
Damn…now I want one of those pom-pom guys.
Now, I like acorns. I like vintage children’s books. I also make things out of vintage children’s books (super-damaged ones). And yet, the combination just isn’t working for me here.
It’s like the *SpArKlY fAeRiE* version of those stupid garden rocks with things like ‘Breathe’ on them; maybe I’m just not thick enough to need a rock to remind me that oxygen + lungs = good.
These are quite cute but I’m curious to the thought process that went behind selecting acorns. Although, many a person have put inspirational words on rocks.
If anyone even thinks about giving me a damn acorn telling me to smile it is gonna get it shoved up their too perky happy camper ass! On the other hand, I would for certain purchase the “second set”
The only reason I would want these is to piss off the squirrels in my yard that eat real acorns and leave the shells on my bench for me to clean up after them.
I WANT TO PLANT THEM AND GET A SWEET “EMOTION TREE” SO WHEN I CHOP IT DOWN IT WILL SCREAM. ALL CAPS MEANS SCREAMING. WHERS YOUR SMILE NOW?! HUH?! STUPID SMILING TREE!
June 24, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Gag me with a twee spoon.
June 24, 2010 at 4:33 pm
I would smile to be so lucky to have a friend who would be scared and then sad as I fiercely poke their eye out with this gift.
June 24, 2010 at 4:34 pm
I’d bet my disillusioned acorn those made the Front Page. Seems like just the kind of hand made hard worked ideal to fit the Etsy image.
June 24, 2010 at 4:34 pm
This is so stupid it’s making my eye twitch a little.
June 24, 2010 at 4:35 pm
“Lay them on the table for a unique centerpiece or place them in a bowl, mixed with the real thing.”
And wouldn’t it be a hoot if someone tried to eat them? Almost as much fun as sewing drunk, passed our friends to the carpet.

#6 Patty: resist the urge to throw pregnant dog at whiny teenager.
June 24, 2010 at 4:38 pm
At first, I thought these were kind of cute, but completely useless.
They’re not so useless because I just read this:
“These little wooden acorns have been decoupaged with original text from a vintage children’s storybook.”
And now I’m pissed off at the seller for ruining a vintage children’s storybook.
Emotional acorns work! They’ve focused my rage!

June 24, 2010 at 4:41 pm
And what difference does it make that the words are torn from an old book? Is that supposed to be something magickal or something?
June 24, 2010 at 4:42 pm
I always suspected that someday, squirrels would learn how to type. I never expected they’d pick up decoupage, though.
June 24, 2010 at 4:43 pm

June 24, 2010 at 4:44 pm
These are NUTS!!!
June 24, 2010 at 4:44 pm
my kid would think those were chocolate kisses on top and try to eat it. That’s just ONE of the reasons this is stupid.
June 24, 2010 at 4:44 pm
one is catatonic
one is disturbed
one is hysterical
and one…
let’s just say one has issues….
June 24, 2010 at 4:45 pm
#8 bootsychoo: I COULD, because its a seven pound Chihuahua.
But I won’t. I’ve re-directed my anger. Where’s my anger acorn, dammit?
“Anger acorn”- the latest in self-help techniques. “Take your anger acorn outside and plant it to create the tree of resentment and self-loathing.
June 24, 2010 at 4:45 pm
If these were put in the hands of any person I know they would be used to pelt any one who walked by. Other than that maybe a cat toy.
June 24, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Six emotional acorns are best kept in the nutcase who made them.
June 24, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Every word is spelled correctly-now that is worth something.
June 24, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Is there a “I don’t give a fuck” acorn?
June 24, 2010 at 4:54 pm
redredred
that would be 5 acorns
June 24, 2010 at 4:57 pm
#22 jaqthehat: Nevermind. I’d rather spend $500 on Farmville porn than $100 on nuts.

You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.
June 24, 2010 at 5:01 pm
a-corny.
June 24, 2010 at 5:07 pm
Ok I love this but do you have enough room for it to say ” I climbed my VBAC?” because otherwise no deal.
June 24, 2010 at 5:13 pm

June 24, 2010 at 5:23 pm
What, no “disapproving” or “pissed” acorns? Those are common teenage emotions.
June 24, 2010 at 5:28 pm
I’m craving Hershey’s Kisses, all of a sudden
June 24, 2010 at 5:28 pm
Why does this makes me think Rolling Stones?
I’ll be your savior steadfast and true,
I come to your Emotional Acorn.
June 24, 2010 at 5:33 pm
If i’m not mistaken these acorns look more like chocolate chips are pooping a peanut. Am I the only one that sees that?
June 24, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Doesn’t the seller realize there are starving squirels in EitHiopiA?!!!!
June 24, 2010 at 5:45 pm
All that is missing is a hammer!
June 24, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Um, I might not be the smartest nut on the tree (hehe) but I do know that “Smile”, “Lucky” and “Friendship” are not emotions.
June 24, 2010 at 6:21 pm
These could be the next big thing – refrigerator magnet poetry for squirrels:

Do you think these fell from Bob Ross’s Happy Little Trees?

A whole shop full of weeble-wobbly little cute things makes me want to hang clay cowboy up by his over-sized red pecker and shove acorns up his ass.
But I have really bad PMS right now.
June 24, 2010 at 7:15 pm
#45 -shove acorns up cowboys ass’-
he’d absolutely love it, I’m suuure!

Nothing says wedding like decoupage acorns!
(Honestly, my first thought was someone will buy these to use at their Twilight themed wedding. It was. Am I wrong?)
June 24, 2010 at 7:55 pm
@Patty Oh god chihuahua puppies….*want*
June 24, 2010 at 8:02 pm
There was going to be an Acorn of Apathy, but by that time the creator stopped caring enough to make one.
June 24, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Well, I don’t know one cute font from the next, but
I call these
“Other things toddlers and teenagers have a lot of”

WTF is up with everyone and their stupid acorn stuff? Felted acorns, toy acorns, acorn jewelry. Are there sparkly acorns with vaginas yet?
June 25, 2010 at 2:55 am
I will say that more work went into this then the pennies with marker and plastic jewels glued to it.
June 25, 2010 at 5:56 am

I would also like to add that these would be a fucking ball to step on when your irresponsible kid throws them on the floor.
