I was staring at THRUSH and trying to figure out what that was supposed to spell. Is it a plaque for the plague? Is it a commemorative of a hideous throat/upper respiratory problem? Does the cowboy like birds a whole lot?
And then I got to the bottom and realized there was a problem with the title of the listing…
And the cookie thing – they’d probably get sued by Nabisco or its parent company if they spelled it correctly. Like those Rolllex watches.
The second one spelled “birthday” correctly in the title but not on the cabochons. And if the third one is the size of an actual Oreo, to me that implies the crafter had a real one to work from — and still managed to mispell it. As a professional editor, I have such mixed feelings; seeing this kind of thing makes me cry, and yet I know it also helps keep me employed. *sigh*
The top one looks like someone didn’t have any friends, paper or photos to make a scrapbook page. All of these belong on the wooden plackbook of “Derp”
Oooo yay! Finally a plack to commemorate when my 2 week old son had thrush! Ima get her to customize it (if available) with some white caked tongues and gentian violet! That would make a great brithday present, eh?
As far as my friends thinking THAT is a real oroe….I doubt my friends are that stupid.
The Oroe cookie necklace screams made in China. Reminds me of knock offs such as PMUA, Adadas, LevIs, SQNY.
Oh snap I just looked in their store and it appears you can even get bleeding knock off designer earrings. This place just smells of third world factory.
I wonder how many toddlers it took to make that oroe necklace.
In this post-modern, post-ironic, post-toasties world, I think there is a booming market for post-literate crafts. I was eyeing the brithday cabs but they’re overpriced and like the oroe cookie is not handmade.
Sorry, I meant “are not handmade.” Someone just told me that the IL state appeals court just ruled that Rahm Emmanuel does not meet residency requirements to run for mayor in Chicago, and our cackling got me all distracted.
I am trying really hard to figure out the Thrush one. I cannot even think of what name that *could* be or why someone would name their kid after a nasty disease.
The seller did not spell plaque right and don’t even ask me what a “animlas” is.
However, I suspect that Nabisco, Sanrio, Chanel, Matel and whomever else she ripped off don’t care that she didn’t actually use the trademarked name in the listing title.
@ # 41 I see where this MIGHT make sense, but the “Large Kitty Cat Outline” does not require the spelling of Hello Kitty, like the Oreo does. The name OREO makes the cookie what it is! How else would I know it isn’t a Trader Joe’s Joe Joe?
If I’m paying $8.00 I want name brand!
How the hell does someone manage to spell “cabochon” but not “birthday”??
I wonder if the third one was afraid they’d get sued by Nabisco for using the name oreo on their product… nah. The only copyright infringement people are afraid of on etsy is their own pretend copyright.
My guess is #41 amazon has it right, but the cookie crafter still manages to do some infringing! Or could it be not only is the name recycled but the cracker as well?
I’m a redneck so when I saw the first one I didn’t understand why someone would want a sign that advertised a hoof rot disease.
Then my second thought was I wanted one for my dentist friend that said “Plaque.”
That name plate’s gotta be a gift to a T. H. Rush or Candi D. Albicans or somebody like that.
The Oroe is actually a cookie sandwich filled with smelt roe. The roe is not dyed, to keep its natural whitish cream color instead of the reddish orange that you see on sushi.
One year my friend messed up my birthday cake and it said Happy Birtday instead. She asked if I would mind and I figured it wouldn’t say anything after I ate it all. Now every year she calls to wish me a Happy Birtday.
“Thrush: Cowboy X” sounds like some horrible cowboy themed anime. A horrible cowboy themed anime with weird flying scrolls, little Frith (Flying Ray Inducing Terrestrial Hearts) flying hearts that resemble Valentine Day hearts but actually some robots, and last but not least, the great Oroe medallion, gifted to the sole hero Cowboy X by none other than Ameratasu herself, the great sun goddess who shines, nay burns, upon cacti and cowboy alike. All leads to an epic battle between Cowboy X and his powerful archenemy, Ol’ Wantable Art. Cowboy X is shot in the boot, magically avoids the bullet as his magic hat pulls him into the air, and the Frith attack Art, but he tricks them into a net of lace, only its made of netherdimensional black hole space, and they and the Oroe medallion are destroyed in a titanic explosion.
All I could see was that the Western-themed plaque said “Thrush” on it. Thrush is a fungal infection that horses get in their hooves if they’re kept in conditions that are too wet. Cowboys should know better.
I don’t know, if your name is Chassylu and you are from Colbert Oklahoma, maybe you know a lot of kids named Thrush, and can’t spell too good. Let’s cut her some slack.
On a vaguely related note, thrushes (the bird, not the disease) are classified as members of the family Turdidae. Which I guess means a turd with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
When in doubt, put a silent K in front of every body part that starts with an N.
W have knees and knuckles, so why not knecks? Oh and don’t forget your knavel.
Ok, those are really quick to make so it’s good profit (I estimate that I could make those around 6-10 per hour, incl. coffee, Regretsy and toilet breaks), but integrity?!
Maybe I should try selling integrity when I open my Etsy store…
I love the BRITHDAY thingies. They are so flexible – you can use them for your Birthday, or you can use them for your Bris. They are misspelled just enough to cover both of these events. And only imagine if you have both on the same day. This gift is just PERFECT!!!
Can we discuss how many words the Thrush person spelled wrong? Don’t ALL computers have spellcheck? But that’s not even the best part of her ad, IMHO. My personal favorite is when she states that while her usual medium is solid oak, she can make an exception and do your plack on solid wood. Because, you know, there’s a significant difference.
January 24, 2011 at 9:34 am
I would have loved this on my brith when I was eight days old.
January 24, 2011 at 9:34 am
Thrush? Meh, it is a good name for plack.
January 24, 2011 at 9:36 am
Wat chitty carp.
January 24, 2011 at 9:36 am
You know what else is great?
Proof-reading.
Yeah.
January 24, 2011 at 9:37 am
Who the bloody fuck names their child Thrush? That’s just afwul.
January 24, 2011 at 9:37 am
Oh that reminds me… I have to make a dentist appointment for plack removal doo to eating too many oroes and not enough teeth brushing.
January 24, 2011 at 9:38 am
At what point, exactly, do family members sit these people down and say, “Honey, you know all those years of remedial schooling?… They didn’t take…”?

January 24, 2011 at 9:41 am
So glad I can get differant thems or animlas on my plack.
January 24, 2011 at 9:43 am
Maybe the plack is a tribute to ZZTop. “I say Lord take me downtown, I’m jus’ lookin’ for some thrush”.
January 24, 2011 at 9:44 am
What’s next? Weeping Ulcer’s first brithday with an OROE cake?

As far as my friends thinking THAT is a real oroe….I doubt my friends are that stupid.
January 24, 2011 at 9:47 am
This reminds me of the waitress we had at a Shoney’s in Northern New Mexico named Candida. True Story.
January 24, 2011 at 9:49 am
Apparently a yeast infection of the mouth is something to commemorate in the Wild Wild West?
January 24, 2011 at 9:55 am
I can get my plack in solid oak, or solid wood! Apparently solid oak is not wood, not solid wood anyway.

Nothing says “this is a real Oroe” like the correct spelling of “oroe.” Seriously, I’ve struggled with this my entire derped up life.
January 24, 2011 at 10:01 am
I like my Oroes dunked in awesomesauce, but not filled with “real cream,” dried up and strung on a chain. This will not do.
January 24, 2011 at 10:02 am

January 24, 2011 at 10:03 am
If you’re named after a yeast infection, you’d better be one bad-ass cowboy.
January 24, 2011 at 10:07 am
For the Brokeback sheep herder in all of us.
January 24, 2011 at 10:10 am
Oh, oh, I want the plack with the animlas!
January 24, 2011 at 10:11 am
OROE! I had no idea that the Office of Recycling Outreach and Education made cookies. Eating recycled cookies, though…could that give me thrush?
January 24, 2011 at 10:12 am
I scraped the white stuf off my tung and spred it on a cookie for you’re brithday.
January 24, 2011 at 10:15 am
They intentionally misspelled OREO so the Nabisco company doesn’t try to take a share of that huge profit margin.
January 24, 2011 at 10:24 am

I want a plack that says “THRUST”, decorated with whimsicle dildos.

I’m really simply wondering how many differant thems there are???

The “Happy Brithday” thingth are obviouthly meant for lithping baby Jewish boyth. Thnip, thnip!
January 24, 2011 at 11:08 am
How does one misspell OREO. Its not like they spell it out for you in the commercials… (oh wait! they do)
I mean there is like only 4 letters
Ya know what else has 4 letters: F A I L

I have a lot of faith in the intelligence of my friends. They are going to DEFINITELY KNOW the Oroe is not real.
January 24, 2011 at 12:22 pm
I suspect (hope?) the Oroe misspelling is an attempt to thwart copyright/trademark violation accusations.
Exhibit A: “Large Kitty Cat Outline” aka Hello Kitty
http://www.etsy.com/listing/61349376/large-kitty-cat-outline-with-a-crystal
Exhibit B: “HUGE Rap Star Necklace” aka Barbie Necklace
http://www.etsy.com/listing/64356754/huge-rap-star-necklace
However, I suspect that Nabisco, Sanrio, Chanel, Matel and whomever else she ripped off don’t care that she didn’t actually use the trademarked name in the listing title.
January 24, 2011 at 12:46 pm
@ # 41 I see where this MIGHT make sense, but the “Large Kitty Cat Outline” does not require the spelling of Hello Kitty, like the Oreo does. The name OREO makes the cookie what it is! How else would I know it isn’t a Trader Joe’s Joe Joe?
If I’m paying $8.00 I want name brand!
January 24, 2011 at 12:48 pm
Oroe: from the makers of Panaphonics, Magnetbox, and Sorny.
Or maybe the seller just doesn’t want to get sued.
January 24, 2011 at 12:53 pm
How the hell does someone manage to spell “cabochon” but not “birthday”??
I wonder if the third one was afraid they’d get sued by Nabisco for using the name oreo on their product… nah. The only copyright infringement people are afraid of on etsy is their own pretend copyright.
January 24, 2011 at 1:31 pm
Thrush is also a bird … but if everyone’s mind jumped straight to the infectious type instead, I think you’d be better off naming your kid “Vulture”.
January 24, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Looks like the “placks” lady has a spelling problem in general:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/64899662/wooden-frame-barrette-holders
The third one down says “CWGIRL”, right? Or is the lasso supposed to be the “O”?
January 24, 2011 at 1:57 pm
oooh. The Derp is strong with them.
*double facepalm*
January 24, 2011 at 2:06 pm
My guess is #41 amazon has it right, but the cookie crafter still manages to do some infringing! Or could it be not only is the name recycled but the cracker as well?

Please, tell me that some redneck didn’t name his/her child ‘Thrush’, because no kid deserves to be called after a mouth infection…

“I wonder how many toddlers it took to make that oroe necklace.”
I suspect that they could get several out of one toddler, depending on its size
(A tip o’ the hat to Jonathan Swift)
January 24, 2011 at 3:38 pm
But hell, the price is right! (spelling sold separately)
January 24, 2011 at 5:22 pm
I actually do know someone with the last name Thrush. I also know she couldn’t wait to get married.
January 24, 2011 at 5:33 pm

I want a plack with animlas on it. I want a god, a act, a brid and a hores.
January 24, 2011 at 6:08 pm
It’s a sad day when a person can correctly spell military but not animal…
January 24, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Maybe thems doin the cowboy plack for ol’ Thrush Limbaugh?
January 24, 2011 at 8:11 pm
As little Thrush gazed upon the plack his mother had given him for his brithday, wee Ebola, his baby sister, cried, “I want one, too, Mommy!”
“Ahh, but Ebola,” said Mommy, “I have this special Oroe cookie necklace, just for you,” as she slipped it around wee Ebola’s neck.
“Mommy, you’re the best!” cried both children, with unabashed glee over their new loot from that Esty store Mommy had discovered.
January 24, 2011 at 8:30 pm
of course by switching TWO letters no one will EVER notice that you are ripping off a well known cookie
January 24, 2011 at 9:06 pm
#46 Spelling aside, I’m pretty sure this is a great example of down-cycling. Taking a basic store bought frame, ruining it, and doubling the price.

“Thrush: Cowboy X” sounds like some horrible cowboy themed anime. A horrible cowboy themed anime with weird flying scrolls, little Frith (Flying Ray Inducing Terrestrial Hearts) flying hearts that resemble Valentine Day hearts but actually some robots, and last but not least, the great Oroe medallion, gifted to the sole hero Cowboy X by none other than Ameratasu herself, the great sun goddess who shines, nay burns, upon cacti and cowboy alike. All leads to an epic battle between Cowboy X and his powerful archenemy, Ol’ Wantable Art. Cowboy X is shot in the boot, magically avoids the bullet as his magic hat pulls him into the air, and the Frith attack Art, but he tricks them into a net of lace, only its made of netherdimensional black hole space, and they and the Oroe medallion are destroyed in a titanic explosion.

All I could see was that the Western-themed plaque said “Thrush” on it. Thrush is a fungal infection that horses get in their hooves if they’re kept in conditions that are too wet. Cowboys should know better.
January 25, 2011 at 6:45 am
Thrush isn’t a yeast infection in the mouth in the UK. It’s in a very different orifice.
January 25, 2011 at 6:58 am
What really hurts is that the Oroe seller has over 900 sales in the past 6 months. Skilled artisans around the world: get over it and have a cookie.
January 25, 2011 at 8:47 am
@ #13 gigglesnort I actually grew up with a girl named Candida. I’m not entirely sure what her parents were thinking.
January 25, 2011 at 9:31 am
I don’t know, if your name is Chassylu and you are from Colbert Oklahoma, maybe you know a lot of kids named Thrush, and can’t spell too good. Let’s cut her some slack.
January 25, 2011 at 12:30 pm
The plack is what we call in the craft world a “Sticker Sneeze.”
January 25, 2011 at 1:37 pm
On a vaguely related note, thrushes (the bird, not the disease) are classified as members of the family Turdidae. Which I guess means a turd with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
January 25, 2011 at 1:58 pm
Well, I applaud the necklace maker’s consistency.
January 25, 2011 at 6:06 pm
The seller of the Thrush plack also sells “Knecklaces.”
http://www.etsy.com/listing/66728876/lulus-knecklaces-with-charms
When in doubt, put a silent K in front of every body part that starts with an N.
W have knees and knuckles, so why not knecks? Oh and don’t forget your knavel.
March 29, 2011 at 4:05 am
15 bucks for that?!
Ok, those are really quick to make so it’s good profit (I estimate that I could make those around 6-10 per hour, incl. coffee, Regretsy and toilet breaks), but integrity?!
Maybe I should try selling integrity when I open my Etsy store…
January 25, 2011 at 7:34 pm
I dunno ’bout you guys but I LOVE me some Oroes and mlik!
January 26, 2011 at 7:46 am
Wait – is that Tom Selleck as a cowboy on that plack? Well, that changes EVERYTHING.
January 26, 2011 at 10:38 am
I’m willing to bet that ‘Oroe’ was a typo considering that, in the crafter’s deep shame, she has now photoshopped it out in the original post. Sneaky.
January 26, 2011 at 11:14 am
We laughed so hard about this being on Regretsy. I took it and ran with it on the listing though!
Sorry for any “disappoint or misunderstand”
The oroe is 100% handmade and free of lawsuits, YUM! :3
January 26, 2011 at 2:37 pm
My kid had thrush. It was very painful.
January 27, 2011 at 7:16 am
I love the BRITHDAY thingies. They are so flexible – you can use them for your Birthday, or you can use them for your Bris. They are misspelled just enough to cover both of these events. And only imagine if you have both on the same day. This gift is just PERFECT!!!

my friend candi’s birth name is candida. weirder names have happened.
January 27, 2011 at 8:27 pm
It makes me happy when the seller posts a comment and they’re good sports.
My favorite item on her shop is the “sporkling” necklace. Perfect for someone who loves Twilight and those little paper cups of ice cream…

No, my friends will not think this is a real Oroe, both because they can read and because they have a brain.
March 25, 2011 at 4:41 am
The Oroe girl now has “lol@copyrights” on here photo lol
December 14, 2011 at 3:10 pm
Solid oak OR solid wood.
