On getting new hobbies that aren't sad in any way at all

On getting new hobbies that aren't sad in any way at all

I've got a new hobby*.

A hobby that keeps me off the streets, and fills the long, empty hours of my existence.

It also has useful applications, in that I could save £££s in the months ahead:

"What's that?"

"It's a dildo"

"A knitted dildo?"

"Yes. Yes it is."

"Have you …err… got a receipt for it?"

"No, because I MADE IT MYSELF."

Christmas is going to be EXCELLENT this year.

What do you use it for? Because if you've already used it for the bleeding obvious, I think you should give it a wash. Now.

Aunty Brenda said...

Pubic knits.
Ewww.

Oddbloke said...

Though I am not a girly, and therefore not an expert in these matters ... I'm pretty sure that "internal carpet burns" would be a BAD thing.

Debster said...

Now you are just getting weird. What have knitted rabbits got to do with perversions involving vegetables?

Simon said...

Hmmm, a floppy dildo - I don't think that will catch on somehow.

Debster: Did Harry Hill die in vain?

crochetninja said...

damn, you've outdone me - I've been crocheting eyeballs with optic nerves and trying to work out how to crochet a brain.

I never thought to go with more external organs

Debster said...

Harry Hill? Fight!!!

"What's up Doc?"

p.s. "I knew I shoulda taken that left toin at Albuquerque."

Erin said...

I suppose it might depend on the wool used...No, it probably woudn't. Or shouldn't.

Why don't you just knit sweaters/jumpers and make cash that way? Do you really want to become 'that creepy Mr. Scary who lives at the end of the street, knitting ineffectual sexual aids"?

Misty said...

Scary: It's true, you're not mad.


You're way, way beyond mad, and rapidly heading towards the nice, soft room wearing a 'cuddle jacket'.


Would you like some of my medikashun?

Lori Smith said...

Perhaps knitting a stylish dildo cover would be better? I'd search Etsy to see if someone else has already had the idea but I'm too scared to.

Richard said...

Perhaps it's my age but I'm having a great deal of trouble getting my head round some of the concepts/activities possibly involved here. I'm also afraid to mention some of those concepts/activities in case I a) appear woefully ignorant b) appear dreadfully perverted.

Cold said...

Hold on, where's the "This time next year Rodders" to go with this?

Zed said...

You could always knit yourself a womb if you really, really wanted.

The Wrath of Dawn said...

A KNIT dildo? Don't lets be silly. You must crochet a dildo, as ane fule no.

The Wrath of Dawn said...

Also, don't forget the clockwork bits.

Sewmouse said...

I fear you and Rodders might not obtain the expected results with this one, Scary.

Must be like having a baby! Just leave a piece of loose yarn for the umbilical cord. Killin' it!
