Took this one myself a couple years ago.  Regardless of how you feel about candy corn (earwig honey and bone meal?), Valentine's Day is NOT the right time for it:

Yeah, but the bloody teeth... I mean, Valentines Candy Corn is a real, sincere product, not ironic.

The Clamdy Canes are from after Archie McPhee jumped the shark and started creating their own bizarre products.  Archie McPhee was better in the late '80s / early '90s when they actually had buyers scouring the international product catalogs to find weird stuff.  Like ugly Christmas sweaters, you're totally missing the point when you're doing it on purpose.

My father had an ancient Wheel Horse snowmobile he picked up from somewhere.  He called Wheel Horse to get parts for it and they basically said "we never made snow mobiles, you must be mistaken" and hung up on him.  About an hour later he got an apologetic call back.  Apparently some old timer was still on staff who did remember when Wheel Horse made snow mobiles.

He did in fact get it running, and it's the only snow mobile I've ever driven, but it was horrible.

That is the very first snowmobile I was ever on, in about 1968 or so.  Dad took me for a ride at the GM/Massey Fergusson dealer where he worked.

Below is representative of the last one I bought new...  I loved that sled.

Like what happened during the mini bike craze, there was a time when every company wanted to be in the snowmobile business and it worked out better for some than others. 

This is what I have now and because we never get snow it’s about as clean as this brand new one

As an old time Cat guy, isn't this where I say, "Yamaha?!?!  Didn't have a chance to buy a real sled?"  but I'm past that kind of stuff now.laugh

We had Polaris’ when I was a kid, but I always wanted either an Arctic cat, or Alouette myself. 

It didn't get any sexier than this in 73

I had a machine for one year. Cannot even remember what it was but it was small and the skies were close. Due to a very light winter I only put 15 miles on the thing and all I really wanted to do was jump it. Those 15 miles were pretty much in a circle between two decent jumps. I sold it the next spring.
