Okay, so pizza slices, random unshaven bears, flamingos, pineapples, cacti...... Fairly random, right?
So, I was thinking they could move on to other, unused randomness.
Lamps?
Kleenex boxes?
Spatulas?
Praying Mantis? With a slight beard of course.
Computer mouse?
Shovels?
Ice Scrapers (you know, the kind you use on your car's windshield)?
Washing Machine?
Keurig?
K-cups?
That's a good start, right?
But now we need new words to go with it. How about:
Actually, I got nothing.
I think they should include something about people getting Uber rides, Pokemon Go (or is that so last year already?), SnapChat, FaceTime, Taking selfies, etc.
Add you (somewhat ridiculous) random trends that could be seen next!

Donkeys. What? Our neighbor has a donkey that hee haws every morning, doesn't yours? Hey I need me some donkeys for my dgs's book! and LavenderLayoutLady , snow shovels would be great! Other random icons I could use... collie dogs beef cows (no more skinny Holsteins!) quads, sowmobiles, corn plants ipads modern looking appliances cardboard boxes (cuz we all know kids love playing with them) And words: "I've GOT this!", "Bazinga!", "Recycle THIS!" |

Praying Mantis? With a slight beard of course. Oh my lol! Hilarious.  I guess if we ask for a Praying Mantis we should also ask for Walking Sticks! You know...because they're just both so cute...YUCK! At least neither of them are PINK! Ha!  Let's see, randomness: White Out Dusty endtables Fingernail clippers Fire extinguishers Vacuum cleaners Keys Rubber bands Muddy puddles Dinner plate with food half eaten Ugh. I can't even be dramatic enough when I'm thinking of these things. |

I'm still laughing about sloths on the other thread. |

a single Lego (you know to represent the one you step on at 2 am)
light bulbs (actually I need this, my OLW is light and I can't find one I like)
fruit flies
toilet brushes
mops
TV remotes
tangle of power cords (you know the mess hidden behind the TV)
pirate rats (complete with peg leg and eye patches)
tricycles (bicycles are everywhere, their 3 wheeled friends are way under represented)
mini vans (can have eyes and a mouth like the movie CARS)
crumpled up wads of paper
filled trash bags
the real stuff of life...

Thought of another one... head lice. Think of the paper/embellishment possibilities. I'm itchy just thinking about it.

(I can totally picture him- the praying mantis- in my head; he's cute!)
eta: okay, now that I've finished reading, I'm picturing a printed paper with Praying mantises, wadded up Kleenexes, random legos, tangled power cords, toilet brushes, and my contribution: gigantic dust bunnies!! (and they're all wearing wire-rimmed glasses and mustaches)
(the dust bunnies can be for added texture, too-- lol)

I hate that stupid song with a passion. Trends they could make - hmmmm. -I think whoever said triangles is onto something and I already see them in a few products -I guess keys have been done but could have a resurge, especially if we are not going old skeleton key ala Rusty Pickle. -vintage radios, record players, televisions (we already had record albums, cameras, typewriters and telephones) -shoes. I know converse shoes were on a bunch of boy/teen papers for awhile but I'm talking women's heels. We had purses and eyeglasses so it is time for shoes. |

Apparently when I read your post I made a weird little sound because one of the kids said, "What juicy thing did you read to make that sound?" |

Guilty of being a sloth liker (not necessarily a lover or fanatic but I can appreciate the chill attitude towards life in general ). Then again, I also like polar bears and gorillas. Maybe not the most trustworthy person for pet recommendations... Flash 100 Yard Dash though!  How about some random foreign food? We ALL encounter random foreign food. It's a must in every scrap room! Warm Sauerkraut (with steam) Olives (pitted and unpitted to meet all your needs) Peeled banana Goulash Durian fruit |

Giant wild boars wearing socks. Only socks. Goats in dashikis. Pasta...farfalle to ramen, maybe in rainbow hues with lots of pink, for sure. For shapes, let's get crazy with parallelograms. Sea monkeys and slinkys. I think another nice trend might be adding reverb to everything to get that slightly drunk or stoned effect.

I'm triangle lady!
Muppets. I'd love for someone to license them.
Funny not to long ago I was looking every where online for a tree stump die and then cottagecutz came out with one. Guess who's die just came in.

He was just hanging out at the lake we walk around every day. He (allegedly) has two brothers. I love all dogs except this dude. He went after my pup. I do think he is gorgeous though.  |
