		<title>Office Saddle $200</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We just can&#8217;t get enough of the equine species here at the StrangeDeals offices. Both Mr. Ed and the Lone Ranger&#8217;s Silver were important influences on our founder and we&#8217;ve been instructed to get as many horse-themed deals posted as possible.
Look at this baby. You sit on this thing at your desk and no one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Horsey Bike Ornament</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bicycles: incredibly popular in eastern Asia and among thick-bespectacled, do-nothing hipsters in urban America and Canada (and, of course, the French, non?).
In Europe and Asia, most cyclists choose economical bikes to get them to and fro. Hipsters, however, use their bicycle as a status symbol because a $1000 car isn&#8217;t very chic. A $1000 cotton [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nothing-But-Marshmallow Cereal from $8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Were you one of those kids that used to pour yourself a big bowl of Lucky Charms or Count Chocula and then only eat the marshmallows? Me neither. I had to eat Coco Wheats. If you were one of those kids though, you&#8217;re probably currently suffering from type 2 diabetes.
However, no one can deny how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Custom Painted Nikes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was a kid, the coolest shoes I ever owned were Reebok Rads (mine weren&#8217;t pink, but upon inspection and now being a confident adult, I wish they had been). Mine were blue and yellow and I kept them in top condition, until the local Nelson, Jimbo, and Kearney beat me up for them. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ninjabread Men Cookie Cutters $8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Gingerbread Man was really mischievous. Remember? (I&#8217;m talking about the fairy tale, not the punched-up version from Shrek.) I always thought he would come running into my room when I was a child and this scared me.
As the story goes, he escapes some farmers that made him in an oven because they were childless, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yodeling Pickle $11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yodeling: a strange and often loud aspect of some non-American culture. It&#8217;s likely Scandinavian, but our intelligence reports at the StrangeDeals offices are quite raw, so we can&#8217;t be sure. We also have a hot report saying it&#8217;s Argentinian in nature, though we have no confirmation either way.
Yodeling: we&#8217;ve all heard it and somehow it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Folies Bergere Boudoir Stool $75</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a major award!
Shucks, I wouldn&#8217;t know that. It looks like a lamp. 
What is a lamp, you nincompoop? It&#8217;s a major award. I won it! 
Damn, hell, you say won it? 
Yeah, mind power, Swede, mind power. 
One of the best parts of the film A Christmas Story is that it reminds us of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shower-Shortening Water Pebble $10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dave, it&#8217;s almost time for your shower to be over.
HAL is actually a derivative of the acronym IBM. See it in the letters? H-I; A-B; L-M. Almost everyone who loves Space Odyssey knows this. But Space Odyssey, for all its groundbreaking work, isn&#8217;t actually that fun to watch.
Not like Scorsese&#8217;s Casino, where they have that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Circum-Scissors $10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[L&#8217;Chaim! Are you a discount mohel? You should be. Discount mohels make serious bank. They also meet tons of chicks that have recently been pregnant (including Shikshas!), so you know they&#8217;re up for it.
Of course I jest. But these scissors seem suitable for about three purposes: accurately cutting paper and cloth, and cutting, uh well, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pig Snout Mug $15</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Man I love The Beatles. And who doesn&#8217;t, right? Pigs, that&#8217;s who. That&#8217;s why they wrote that song Piggies and put it on the White Album.
Everywhere there&#8217;s lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon
Now I&#8217;m not positive, but I think they&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bottle Opening T-Shirt $20</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes when you&#8217;re at a barbecue or a party, some forigner brings along a sixer of beer that can&#8217;t be opened with a conventional twist. Then they&#8217;ll say something along the lines of, &#8220;Jah! Twist heads are all ze kitsch in ze U, S, and A, no?&#8221;
This is because foreigners and their beer and their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coming Soon: Adaptive Lens Technology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe people go to medical school to become eye doctors. It seems to me you could take a short ESL class on how to properly pronounce the question, &#8220;better or worse&#8221; and you&#8217;d be pretty much set.
Of course, when I go to the eye doctor their always trying to upsell me on bionic [...]]]></description>

		<title>Portable Watermelon Cooler $231</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Japanese are so far ahead of everyone that it&#8217;s just plain ridiculous. They&#8217;re so far ahead that sometimes they come up with new technology designed simply to screw with us. I&#8217;ve never been more sure of it.
Take, for example, this Marugoto Tamachan Portable Watermelon Cooler. Why does this thing exist? I don&#8217;t know, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>750ml Wine Glass $12</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We drink a lot of wine in the Strange Deals offices. Our manager is French and he forces us to drink it at lunch because it&#8217;s ala mode (which means something untranslatable in French, I&#8217;m told).
Well, one thing always leads to another and we&#8217;re usually quite punchy after our sixth glass.
But why on Earth are [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Personal Submarine $2,000,000</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by that French lunatic Jules Verne, I always imagined myself on a submarine. I was in middle school, so it was feasible to me. Captain Nemo and I in the Nautilus, exploring uncharted ocean floors and swimming around way down there. &#8220;Open the hatch Captain, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Periodic Table of Swearing $135</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Other than beating people with shovels, is there anything more cathartic than swearing? I can think of so many situations where it cannot be beat:
Swearing in traffic, with the windows up, so you can say the kinds of things that make old ladies faint
Swearing at your mother, then apologizing, then cussing more under your breath [...]]]></description>

		<title>Private Ninja Lesson $195</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pirate, Zombie, or Ninja? I like pirates, dorks like zombies, and everyone else prefers ninjas. That&#8217;s an unimpeachable fact.
I myself don&#8217;t know all that much about ninjas and their crafty ways, but I learned quite a bit from the American Ninja trailer and this knowledgeable website, Real Ultimate Power. From what the expert at this [...]]]></description>

		<title>TV Hat $30</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TV is pretty widely considered by scholars as an effective weight loss tool, great for child rearing, and all-around awesome in everything it provides to humanity. But what if you&#8217;re not in front of a TV? What if you&#8217;re in front of something like this website that has boring words on it?
Simple, you put on [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Truffle Shuffle T-Shirt $15</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Word is that they&#8217;re going to remake The Goonies. I know this because I was in on the meeting. Here&#8217;s a reasonable facsimile of that meeting:
Hollywood Guy A: We haven&#8217;t remade anything in a while. 
Hollywood Guy B: C&#8217;mon! We&#8217;ve remade 75 movies in 2010 alone!
Hollywood Guy A: Let&#8217;s remake Goonies!
Hollywood Guy B: Changed my [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Disposable Wine Glass, Now With Wine!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wine is for lovers. Or is that Paris? Whatever. Wine and Paris can both be for lovers.
But what if you don&#8217;t have a lover? Accepted establishment thought dictated that you shouldn&#8217;t go to Paris and drink a bunch of wine. But that&#8217;s all changing with The Disposable Wine Glass, Now With Wine.
This is either brilliant [...]]]></description>
