    GIMME!

    I never thought my pot holders were any kind of nice until I saw the selection you posted here. Wow.

    gimme (had to)

    The poor Strawberry/fruit potholder never had a chance with that last horror. You know, it’s contests like these that make me wonder if someone keeps those things out of sheer morbidity, or the chance of entering (and winning) a contest like this.

    Kind of like those stinkiest shoe contests…someone is ACTUALLY wandering around with a pair of tennies so filthy you can’t tell the original color of the duct tape holding them together?

    Anysnooch, “There are no words” definitely deserves a new pair, because holy hand grenade of Antioch, I want to take a shower from looking at the photo.

    Gimmie!

    But if I don’t win, I’m *totally* getting me some inmate merch.

    I stole the homemade horror from my mom’s drawer a few years ago. When I asked her if I made it she said “probably” So much for sentimentality. That would put the carbon dating in the mid to late 1950′s.

    Well, even though it’s not going to win, I will continue to love (and use) it. I also LOVE the Ark Dept of Corrections one…and I live in Arkansas! Guess I’ll have to stop by the gift shop next time I go.

    Gimmie! I visualized each of these monstrosities lying on my kitchen counter and decided that the pig’s head disturbed me the most. Eeyuugh.

    gimme :)
    please tell me there’ll be a ceremonial burning of the “winning” potholder.
    the last one is definately the grossest… but i judged by which one id least want to be anywhere near my food, and the surprise winner was the homemade horror. maybe its the wan, pukey color. at least the last one is attempting some pathetic cheer.

    Sadly, I think some of my potholders could be contenders here. Oh well. Gimme!

    Please don’t burn the ‘winner’ of the poll. I’d worry about the fumes produced killing off all life in a three mile radius.

    Gimme a T! T!
    Gimme an N! N!
    Gimme an S! S!
    TNS! TNS! Rah Rah Rah!
    TNS! TNS! Sis-boom-bah!
    Yay… giveaways!

    That last potholder? It should never, ever be allowed near anything a person will put in their mouth.
