+ LaVarious.com: A wonderland of uselessness

Well, the holidays are over and we have another ass-load of months until we get another break from our daily grind. Being the slacker that I am, I decided to take a break from the site and enjoy the time off from work and time spent at home watching glorious Technicolor porn. All good things come to an end though and for my return article I felt that it was only fitting to show you the present I got for my parents this Christmas season.

Every year I try to get my parents some pretty funny gifts so they have something to laugh about when the other 364 days I am a complete jackass. Last year they had a real full size leg-lamp from the movie A Christmas Story delivered to their house in a wooden crate packed with straw and the soft glow of electric sex. Hell, they even got a telegram one week ahead of the delivery informing them they had won a “major award”. Needless to say they enjoyed their Christmas present and couldn’t believe they were the proud owners of a real-life leg-lamp. It has now officially replaced their Christmas tree and is proudly displayed in their bay window for all to see through the month of December.

This year I knew I had to go all out. What could I possibly get them that would even remotely compare to an official full-size leg-lamp? Well, my sick little mind worked night-and-day until I had formulated the perfect gift for them. This was a gift so unique and special that no one anywhere else in the world would every own one. Yes, it was that friggin fantastic, much like me.

I have always wanted to go to one of those portrait studios in Sears and take a photo of me and my wife. You know; those stiff photos where they have the blended multicolor background and everyone is wearing some sort of Bill Cosby sweater and looks like fire ants are gnawing on their genitalia. Yeah, those always looked like fun, but I had a little spin on my photo. I wanted to dress all up and have Lori and I go and get the photo, but I wanted to mess my hair all up and look like I was some form of drooling deranged mongoloid. I can never get Lori to commit to the photo, but this is where the original Christmas gift idea was spawned from.

While walking through the mall one day I happened upon one of those Hallmark stores, or some generic form of them with little figurines, crying clowns, some cards, and other trinkets and doodads that retarded people seem to enjoy. There in the corner of the store was a blanket that had been custom wove with a wedding photo on it. They also had one with a dog, one with two small children, and I believe one of an old photo from the 1950's. What they did not have was one of some form of mongoloid. I decided I would help them out in that area and grabbed the digital camera.

It took about four-to-five photos before I could contort my face enough and get that retarded keepsake I was hoping for. I knew when I saw the last picture taken that I had scored pure heartfelt Special Olympics gold. I quickly logged online and placed my order with a note telling the company I was ordering from that it was indeed a real order and not some sort of prank.

After weeks of pining by the door waiting for my package to arrive I received a call at work one afternoon from my wife informing me that my package had finally been delivered and that she had opened it and pissed her pants laughing. With excitement welling up inside I took off from work a little early because the anticipation of seeing the fruits and labors of my ill-conceived plan weaved into a personalized blanket was too much for me to remain at work. Damn it, I spent a shit load of money getting a retard weaved onto a blanket and I was going to see it as quickly as possible.

I arrived home, unrolled the blanket, and doubled over in laughter at what I had received in the mail. It was better than I had ever hopped for with vivid in-your-face detail, larger than life format, and seeing myself immortalized on a blanket was just too freaking hilarious. We quickly packaged up the Christmas gift and rushed over to my parents house to let them unwrap it.

The blanket idea was hilarious, quirky, and completely original. I think this was probably the best gift I have ever given my parents and couldn’t have been happier with the turn out. If you would like your own LaVarious the Mongoloid blanket email me and I will see what I can do for you. Who the hell doesn’t want my morlock face on a blanket to accent your room with?


My parents didn’t know what to expect when they got their present, but after they opened it their reaction is priceless. Click here to view the video.
