Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

the reason british people like them is that they make the bang noise before you get your lovely paper hat and cracker jack box toy.

americans make the bang noise with a variety of things constantly and as such don''t bother with them

i think i missed the worst of it by 5-6 years but probably to some extent. i built poo poo out of cardboard with boxcutters and hotglue all the time as a preteen and can only remember one babysitter ever batting an eye over it

this particular case was w/r/t a relative bitching about not being able to get them last christmas citing that reason and it stuck in my mind as weird even by kid safety standards

seriously though christmas crackers aint banned in the us or even not carried by stores, unless you live somewhere real rural maybe.

people just don't want to buy them because they kinda suck.

What kind of work could a scarecrow possibly do that would earn him the Nobel prize? A scarecrow is not sentient or ambulatory and would probably find a hard time being recognized by the Nobel committee. That's stupid. It's like saying that you nominated a table for a peace prize because someone signed important papers on it. Get a clue retard.

Walter.
I know you know how to do this.
Get up.


https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pocketextender/pocket-extenders-for-big-screen-phones?ref=city

The First Lesson: Our first setback occurred one week before launch. Samples were supposed to be made and instead, not one piece delivered was up to our standards in quality: stitching was crooked, lines were completely off, design was completely changed, and dimensions were incorrect by over 1 inch. There was absolutely NO WAY we would allow any of our supporters or the members of the press to get their hands on these.

Due to this issue, and in order to stay on schedule for launch date, the product pictured was not professionally made. Rest assured, when you support Pocket Extenders, the product will be professionally made to all correct specs (Yay to more crooked lines!). Problem was solved and we are again smooth sailing.

Like all things, risks and challenges are always involved. Like all challenges, solutions exist. I've accounted for potential setbacks (supplies, labor, production costs, etc.) by spending hours on research before conception. I have worked endless hours sourcing out the perfect fabric, drawing up the best design, convincing a friend to help create the prototype (a necessity for someone with no sewing skills) and finally, Pocket Extenders are ready to share with all of you. I have on board several seamstresses and tailors that I have developed great relationships with and who support and believe in the product design.

i had some friends sew this lovely thing, give me money and i'll actually pay someone to make something no one will buy. there is no second lesson
