After seeing the poop village and this I’m just begin to realize what a goldmine my two felines are. Only problem is I think that they have too much class to sell things that look like this.
Nah, scalping the troll doll doesn’t look that bad – I did it to my husband’s troll once – and no that’s not a euphemism for something else he actually has a plastic troll doll. Troll hair is much more orange.
other then the fact that this item looks like hair out of a drain, am I the only one who thinks that sugar and felt should not be an echo habitat if it is worn directly on the skin? Is there something I don’t know or do I simply know too much?
As unpleasantly wet and slimy as this thing looks, I think I actually just spent more time staring at what’s behind the hand… Is… is it… chest hair? Or…
Mossy Habitat pitched for the St. Louis Browns in the 1903-05 seasons. He was famous for his “Spore Ball”, which confounded hitters as well as officials trying to figure out if it was actually illegal.
Picture #3 in the listing looks like something has laid eggs in the thing. So, maybe she wasn’t lying about the whole “eco system” thing. I guess the price is high because it comes complete with a mystery hatching of who knows what. So, the sugar is apparently meant to sustain whatever the hell comes crawling out to infest YOUR hair or lair. As for the hair in the background, I think she’s hatching up another eco no-no!
I just pulled something way more attractive than that out of one of my aquariums. I gave it to the crawdads to eat. Shit, I could have sold it on Etsy and made some money. I guess that’s why I’m poor, I don’t have any imagination. *Sigh*
For what occasions other than Halloween–and that’s pushing it–would it be appropriate to wear this thing? For $79, I assume that you wouldn’t just buy it to decorate the top of your dresser (where it might burrow its roots into your dresser and one day become a bracelet.)
If someone offered to shake my hand with this thing on, I would probably refuse and would ask them to leave my presence…and that’s not like my usual tolerant self at all.
it will turn into a perfect yeast and bacteria habitat in a few days. It might be considered as an act of terrorism to send this thing via mail (remember Leahy and Daschle?), they have detectors for these kind of things. But its definitely cheaper than anthrax, I suppose.
I know I’m weird, but I actually think this ring is cute (might like it better without those cowlicky tendrils though) and think I get what the creator was going for.
BUT I think it’s unconscionable to charge that much for an accessory that will quickly become matted and dirty and gross and possibly attract vermin. If it were $5, though, game on.

The drain wore it better.
October 20, 2012 at 4:03 pm
“Mossy Habitat” . . . is that another term for “down there?”
October 20, 2012 at 5:03 pm
It’s what’s on top of the “no-no zone”.
October 20, 2012 at 7:59 pm
I never knew the stuff pulled out of clogged shower drains could be so profitable..
October 20, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Next time my cat horks up a hairball I’ll be sure to sell it on Etsy.
October 20, 2012 at 4:32 pm
How long’s it been since you cleaned the bathroom?
I don’t know, let me count the rings.
October 20, 2012 at 9:10 pm
EDIT: “Next time my cat horks up a HABITAT…” hahahaha!

October 20, 2012 at 4:08 pm
That’s disgusting. It’s like they use a random number generator to come up with prices…
October 20, 2012 at 4:10 pm
There is nothing okay about this.
October 20, 2012 at 4:11 pm
The perfect accessory for my Swamp Thing costume!
October 20, 2012 at 4:13 pm
The bottom pic needs more drain jizz for a proper comparison.
October 20, 2012 at 4:14 pm
It’s like a tamagotchi for naturalists.
October 20, 2012 at 4:15 pm
Second thought: someone drowned, then scalped, a troll doll.
October 20, 2012 at 5:01 pm

“Scalping the troll doll” is definitely a euphemism. Not sure what it’s a euphemism for, though.
October 21, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Giving a man a “Brazilian?”

October 20, 2012 at 5:04 pm
I don’t know about eco habit but that combination kind of screams Bug Habitat.
October 20, 2012 at 7:22 pm
It’s a hairball choked up by a sugar glider?
October 20, 2012 at 4:19 pm
I like the hair covered skin backdrop.
October 20, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Yet again I forget not to cruise regresty while having dinner. Leftovers for tomorrow I guess,
October 20, 2012 at 5:08 pm
You took the words right out of my mouth.
And this photo took the dinner right out of my stomach.
October 20, 2012 at 9:05 pm
Yeah. This made me gag. My own grody hair in a drain is enough to make me hork, let alone anyone else’s.
October 21, 2012 at 2:44 pm
Oh God I know right, my stomach is churning just looking at it.
Between all the poop and now this, most of my visits to Regretsy this week have involved retching.
October 20, 2012 at 4:33 pm
As unpleasantly wet and slimy as this thing looks, I think I actually just spent more time staring at what’s behind the hand… Is… is it… chest hair? Or…
October 20, 2012 at 4:44 pm
And for the twenty-third time, I wonder why I click Regretsy links while eating.
At least the person’s nails look nice.
October 20, 2012 at 4:49 pm
It looks infected, whatever it is.
October 20, 2012 at 4:49 pm
Oddly, I don’t think that is the strangest item in her store.
October 20, 2012 at 4:54 pm
… so if it’s a habitat, something’s supposed to live in that ring … and eat the sugar?
“The ring? Oh, that’s where my yeast infection lives.”
Yummeh,
October 20, 2012 at 4:55 pm
From the Mildewed Shower Wookie line, one presumes.
October 20, 2012 at 5:02 pm
Felt + sugar + perspiration = a mossy habitat, alright.
October 20, 2012 at 5:09 pm
Looks like a napkin holder from Under-the-Pier 1 Imports.

October 20, 2012 at 5:15 pm
That is the tidiest drain plug I’ve ever seen.
October 20, 2012 at 5:45 pm
With some of the things we’ve seen lately, I think we need a new category for “Things That Look Itchy on Etsy”.
October 20, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Cleaning the hair out of the drain always makes me gag. This…well…whatever this is, it’s worse.
October 20, 2012 at 6:44 pm
Finally, my Meg Mucklebones costume is complete!
October 20, 2012 at 6:56 pm
Someone REALLY likes moss….

October 20, 2012 at 7:45 pm
I’m picturing a Whoville sized Colony of Aliens, burrowing into, then hatching out of, your skin. Sweet dreams Cocky dear.
October 20, 2012 at 7:34 pm
I can’t believe an icelandic sheep was sheered for that. He should sue.
October 20, 2012 at 8:43 pm
The picture of the hair in the drain actually looks less disgusting than the ring.
October 20, 2012 at 8:51 pm
“Completely unique” huh? Let’s keep it that way.
October 20, 2012 at 9:06 pm
I do believe her that it’s unique. I’m a little scared to search etsy for similar items, though.
October 20, 2012 at 9:17 pm

October 21, 2012 at 9:41 pm
Meeting of marine biologists? Accepting the ig nobel for mossy habitat research? Preparing for your insanity defense?
October 20, 2012 at 9:55 pm
There’s an ointment for that.
October 20, 2012 at 10:57 pm
I’m thinking that whatever this is might be incurable.
October 20, 2012 at 11:17 pm
Sluggie? Is that you??? I’ve missed you, boy! Who’s that bitch you’re hanging on,and what in God’s name have you been rolling in?

October 21, 2012 at 4:58 am
All I can picture is swiping at my face while wearing it, and those long-ass stringy things on top brushing my mouth or eye. *shudder*
October 21, 2012 at 6:19 am
It’s $79 because it’s actually some sort of hallucinogenic plant from another world.
October 21, 2012 at 8:58 am

October 21, 2012 at 9:49 pm
Touche.

WHICH OF YOU SICK BASTARDS BOUGHT IT???
October 21, 2012 at 4:29 pm
October 21, 2012 at 6:04 pm
Reminds me of Cheech & Chong’s old bit, “UP HIS NOSE!!!”
October 21, 2012 at 7:10 pm
Nothing snarky to say other than “ew”.
October 21, 2012 at 8:21 pm
I’m not sure that this “ring’ but one of her other rings is “assented with diamanté.” I’m not sure that I’ll be able to let that one go
October 22, 2012 at 5:59 am
You should ass her a question about the item…
October 22, 2012 at 12:06 pm
At this price, I’m totally expecting this eco-ring to flail its flagella around whenever I wear it, or I’ll be disappointed.
October 22, 2012 at 6:05 pm
If she could promise that I WOULD buy it.
