Why the novelties and toy imports are taking longer to recieve

Longshore UNION Work Slowdowns Bring

Terminal Operations to the Brink of GridlocK

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (January 12, 2015) – Eight months since contract talks began, and after more than two months of ILWU-staged slowdowns that have methodically reduced terminal productivity at the five largest ports on the West Coast, operations are approaching complete gridlock.

Since late October 2014, the ILWU has crippled what were fully productive terminals in the Pacific Northwest and Oakland, and exacerbated a difficult congestion issue at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach by intentionally withholding dozens of essential skilled workers each shift for the past 10 weeks.

The ILWU’s action in Southern California goes against 15 years of precedent and targets precisely the skilled workers who are most essential to clearing congested terminals. By withholding an average of 75 yard crane drivers each day, the ILWU has stalled the movement of tens of thousands of containers, PMA estimates. Since November 3, the Union has reduced these yard crane operator positions in Southern California by 67 percent.

Last week, after repeated calls by PMA for the involvement of a federal mediator, the ILWU agreed to outside intervention. Since the mediator joined the talks, no further agreements have been reached and ILWU work slowdowns have continued to the point where many terminals are in peril of complete gridlock.

ILWU members, among the highest paid union workers in America, are receiving full wages and benefits while stifling productivity and putting West Coast port terminals at the brink of full shutdown. To date, the ILWU and PMA have reached tentative agreements on health care and increases to pay guarantees. That tentative agreement provides fully employer-paid health care benefits valued at $35,000 per worker annually. PMA also has proposed pay increases and pension enhancements. There are no takeaways in the PMA proposal.

“The PMA has a sense of urgency to resolve these contract talks and get our ports moving again,” said PMA spokesperson Steve Getzug. “Unfortunately, it appears the Union’s motivation is to continue slowdowns in an attempt to gain leverage in the bargaining. The ILWU slowdowns and the resulting operational environment are no longer sustainable.”

The PMA has alerted the local port authorities to the deteriorating situation on the docks.

Don't miss our light up flashing jester and carnival party hats !!

Where is jester hat originate from ???  

The jester is an elusive character. The European words used to denote him can now seem as nebulous as they are numerous, reflecting the mercurial man behind them: fool, buffoon, clown, jongleur, jogleor, joculator, sot, stultor, scurra, fou, fol, truhan, mimus, histrio, morio. He can be any of these, while the German word Narr is not so much a stem as the sturdy trunk of a tree efflorescent with fool vocabulary. The jester's quicksilver qualities are equally difficult to pin down, but nevertheless not beyond definition.

The Chinese terms used for "jester" now seem vaguer than the European, most of them having a wider meaning of "actor" or "entertainer." In Chinese there is no direct translation of the English "jester," no single word that to the present-day Chinese conjures an image as vividly as "court jester," fou du roi, or Hofnarr would to a Westerner. In Chinese the jester element often has to be singled out according to context, although the key character you does seem to have referred specifically to jesters, originally meaning somebody who would use humor to mock and joke, who could speak without causing offense, and who also had the ability to sing or dance: "The you was also allowed a certain privilege, that is, his 'words were without offence' . . . but the you could not offer his remonstrances in earnest, he had to make use of jokes, songs and dance." The term is often combined with other characters giving differing shades to his jesterdom, an acting or a musical slant, for example: paiyou, youren, youling, changyou, lingren, linglun. All could include musical and other talents, chang suggesting music, ling, playing or fooling, and pai a humorous element to bring delight. Several of these terms are too frequently translated as "actor" regardless of where they appear on the etymological chain of evolution and even though they were used long before the advent of Chinese drama.

Perhaps the earliest antecedents of the European court jester were the comic actors of ancient Rome. Several Latin terms used in medieval references to jesters (including numerous church condemnations of them), such as scurrae, mimi, or histriones, originally referred either to amusing hangers-on or to the comic actors and entertainers of Rome. Just as there is now no clear distinction between the terms for "actor" and "jester" in Chinese, so the Latin terms could merge the two. If there was no formal professional jester in Rome, the comic actors fulfilled his functions, sometimes even bearing a striking physical resemblance to what is usually considered a medieval and Renaissance archetype. With periodic imperial purges against actors for their outspokenness, many of them took to the road and fanned out across the empire in search of new audiences and greater freedom. Successive waves of such wandering comics may well have laid the foundations for medieval and Renaissance jesterdom, possibly contributing to the rising tide of folly worship that swept across the Continent from the late Middle Ages.

WHY BILLY BOB PRODUCTS ARE SELLING SO FAST - teeth and pacifiers

 

The story of how Jonah White made millions of dollars selling novelty fake hillbilly teeth is nearly as bizarre as the product. White anticipates that his company, Billy Bob Teeth - Billy bob products , based in Hardin, Ill., will sell its 20 millionth set this month. His journey to this point has been relentlessly weird and fascinating, from the year he spent alone in a cave to a stint wearing a gorilla suit, an experience dining on roadkill with his future wife, and an interlude with Joan Rivers.

Your mom was Jewish, and your dad was a Native American named Five Bears, and they met in jail after a political protest?

Isn’t that awesome? Even better than that, I admit it!  There’s so much in my life that a normal person would never admit to. Growing up, we were so poor that one summer, I didn’t have a pair of shoes. When I saw a kid with a new pair of shoes, I thought they must be rich. My family moved to Illinois in a school bus with 20 sheep in it. I didn’t know any different. I’m proud that we didn’t have indoor plumbing or running water. I have pulled off the road to pick up roadkill, because that was the only meat we could eat.  

After you realized you weren’t going to be a professional football player, as you’d once hoped, you lived in a cave for a year, deciding what to do with your life next. You looked into a fire and saw…a career in novelty fake teeth.

And people still call me Caveman. I was living in the bowels of a cave, mulling night after night over all sorts of different ideas—hundreds of them. I tried to realistically look at the pros and cons of everything, and thought about competition and longevity, and I looked into the fire and started to think about very cheap and inexpensive items that would sell for $20 or less, by mail. I felt this was something I could do in my tiny town, as a cottage industry, to support me and my parents.  

Have you been in a Billy Bob teeth commercial?

I’m actually in one now for INSTANT SMILE [co-founded by Rich Bailey]. I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV. I wore a lab coat. I had to actually buy a pair of slacks for that. It was a traumatic experience.  

Did the lab coat remind you of your early days, pretending to be a student at Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine to craft Billy Bob teeth in the student lab?

It kind of did—I had that sellout feel. [Laughs.] You know, when you’re running a con, you really need to con yourself. When I was at that dental school and I put on a lab coat, I myself bought the idea—I became a dental student. Until one day, the jig was up, and I had to grab my materials and run. They changed a lot of rules after I left.  

The story of how you initially got the word out about Billy Bob teeth involves aggressive selling at bars and colleges, as well as to used-car dealers.

We sold them everywhere. We did not discriminate. We were opportunistic hunters, and we drew blood wherever we went. We didn’t go to a bank and get a loan and do what people do. We would be so reckless that we would take darts and throw them at a map on the wall. We hit Seattle with one, so we took a four-day weekend and drove there and back, stopping at fraternity houses along the way. Sometimes, we would aim at places that we wanted to go, but I wasn’t a real good darts player. [Laughs.] This would all make an incredible movie.  

Have you sold Billy Bob teeth in a lot of St. Louis bars?

There are so many people that will read this that have been accosted by me and [co-founder] Rich at a bar wearing these teeth. My shipping manager grew up in Granite City, Ill., and she remembers seeing us selling the teeth at the St. Clair Square mall. I was wearing a gorilla suit—we always took it up a notch.  

Was there a single point where you realized that this was just going to blow up into a huge success?

I had no doubt it would be huge. Still, I’ll admit I never knew it would be this big. My goal was to sell a million pieces. Ninety-nine percent of people told me I was a fool and I’d be out of business in no time. I think the company really hit its stride when we sold 2.5 million pieces. When I got the license for the Austin Powers teeth, it just blew up. I had competitors copying my every move, but we had the momentum, and we couldn’t be stopped. At one point, I was shipping 9,000 sets of teeth a day out of my parents’ house, in ’98.  

Describe the psychological transformation people undergo when they put on the teeth.

My teeth are a license to be a maniac. Everyone wants to have fun. They act like they don’t, but they do. When you put the teeth on, you have a license to have fun. One thing I’ve found is that guys typically enjoy when ugly guys hit on their girlfriends and wives. Then they don’t like it so much when you take the teeth out. [Laughs.]  

You wore Billy-Bob Teeth for the photo on one of your Illinois state driver’s licenses. How did you get away with that?

They didn’t know they were fake. I’ve worn them on I don’t know how many government IDs. Now the design is so advanced, it’s even harder to tell if they’re real or not. They buck out almost as much as Gary Busey’s teeth.  

The different styles of your teeth have great names: Deliverance, Caveman, Jethro, Huntin n Fishin, Rufus, Cletus, and so on. Did you think of all of those?

Pretty much. I thought of all of them except for Billy Bob, and Rich thought that up.  

Have you ever seen someone with already-bad teeth wear Billy Bob teeth?

Sure. I’ve seen teeth that look so fake, I couldn’t believe that they were real. You can’t just automatically say to someone, “Nice Billy Bob teeth!”  

Have you ever run into someone wearing Billy Bob teeth and they didn’t realize you’re the inventor?

When Rich and I were in Australia, we found a kid wearing a set of our teeth in a bar in Darwin, Australia, and actually using the joke pickup lines we had put out on a sheet years before for Billy Bob teeth buyers.  

So you actually sell more novelty pacifiers than Billy Bob teeth now?

Yes, we sell between half a million and a million of those a year. I invented them in ’98, when my wife was pregnant with our first child, Sydney. I just came up with the idea of putting Billy Bob teeth on a pacifier. Now we make 40 different designs of pacifier, everything from “I Love Grandpa” to camouflage.  

You sell various other novelty products, too, like hats with mullets sticking out of the back, sandals with fake toes, and a “Russian roulette revolver” that holds alcohol for drinking games.

I came up with the idea of a drinking game with a fake gun called Russian roulette. You spin the cylinder, and you don’t know who’s gonna drink it. When you squeeze the trigger, an electronic gunshot sound goes off and a light flashes. It holds 2 ounces. It doesn’t actually shoot out of the barrel; you pour it out.  

You live in a huge house, on 900 acres in Calhoun County.

We probably have 50 animals living in our house, too, and it’s spotless; you could eat off the floor. We have several lambs, which we’re bottle-raising, four mini Pomeranians, a 200-pound Newfoundland [dog], an African tortoise who weighs about 50 pounds, a chicken, a macaw, several snakes, four or five snapping turtles, a fish tank, geckos, about 12 baby turkeys, four baby geese, and two rabbits. We also have a baby llama. And we’re getting ready to get a wallaby. We have a lot of other outside animals. We have a 1-year-old water buffalo who swims with my kids in the lake, and they ride on his back.  

You got to hang out with Joan Rivers when she came to Hardin to film a segment for a TV show called How’d You Get So Rich? a few years ago.

She’s a really cool lady. Heck of a good kisser, too. 

You went to Australia in the ’90s to find a wife—and it actually worked.

I was starting to get some attention for the company; it was really growing, like 30 to 40 percent growth each month. I wanted to find a woman who spoke English and didn’t know I was making good money, to see if she would love me for the real me. My partner Rich and I went to Australia for four months. We slept on beaches and park benches and ate roadkill. I met my future wife, Honey Buns, and she saw everything. I even told her I lived at home with my parents, too, which was true. She fell in love with me for me. Rich and I were selling the teeth in bars in Australia, though, so she saw that I was making Billy Bob teeth and that I had a plan.  

And you knew she was the one for you when your car hit a wallaby, and she hopped out and showed you how to butcher the roadkill?

At that point in time, I knew that she was the one I was looking for. I had to persuade her to come to America and marry me. A month later, I was able to persuade her.  

I understand you don’t use a computer.

I do use a smartphone. Last year, I ordered something from an online store for the first time in my life. It was a rifle stock. I did it one time just to say I’ve done it. It’s ironic, but I don’t even know what the hell PayPal is.

Facts about Shrunkin head tribes - novelty human shrunken heads is one of our top selling novelties

Human trophies is no novelty. David in biblical times brought back the head of Goliath. Native north Americans used to take the scalps (hair) of their ennemies. Other customs include the collection of the heart, hand, eye or ear but the head is the most popular part. Although many other cultures through-out the world practiced head-hunting, the Shuar clan of the Jivaro tribe became famous for their practice of shrinking and preserving human heads. A shrunken head taken in battle by the Shuar was called a tsantsa (“sansha”).

As most primitive tribes, the Shuar are very superstitious. They believe that most deaths, accidental or natural, are caused by some black witchcraft. Such murder deserves immediate revenge on the person responsible. The shaman - in his powerful position - would hold a ceremony and decide whose sorcery was at fault. Following each death a vicious cycle of retaliation ensues in which someone is always held accountable for the murder of another. As the Jivaro Indian is consumed with the notion of retaliation, his " desire for revenge is an expression of his sense of justice."  the result of this belief system was incessant intertribal warfare.

This cycle of blood-revenge is perpetuated by religious reasons by which the soul of the victim requires that his relatives should avenge his death. If the surviving members do not retaliate against the slayer, the anger of the vengeful spirit may in fact turn against themselves. If blood-revenge cannot be directed to the actual slayer, it may be directed toward one of his relations. Once a murder has been avenged, blood-guilt or tumashi akerkama is atoned for and the offended family is satisfied

Male children were taught at an early age about the concept of blood revenge. The father instructs the younger men, often as young as six years of age, to listen to the various crimes that had been committed against his people. A strong sense of family justice is instilled in the minds of the young, who are later expected to avenge previous injustices committed against their family members. Further incentive is encouraged by the notion of reward, including blessings, good luck, long life and many opportunities to kill one's enemy.

Within the vast region of the Amazon a perpetual animosity existed between the neighboring tribes of the Jivaro. A fundamental difference between wars enacted within the same tribe and against neighboring tribes is such that " wars between different tribes are in principle wars of extermination". The main goal of these wars was the total annihilation of the enemy tribe, including women and children. This was done in order to prevent them from seeking revenge in the future. There were however, many instances where the women and children were taken as prisoners and forced to become a part of the victors families. It is solely in these wars that trophies/tsantsa were taken. It must be noted that trophies/ tsantsa were not taken during the disputes between blood-relatives. The Jivaros consistently engaged in this practice toward their mortal enemies. They feared tbe ghosts of dead relatives even more than live enemies, and believed that making a tsantsa protected them. The possession of a tsantsa ensured good luck to the owner. It not only contained magic power, but also secured the good will of the ancestors whose desire for revenge was now gratified.

After a successful raid, the head of the enemy was cut off with a sharp object. Until it was prepared, the head was considered inert and impotent; it only assumed its magical powers after being shrunk in accordance with draconian rules

The victorious war party would return to camp to a celebration of dancing, songs, hallucinogens and the drinking of chicha, a kind of beer made from a type of jungle yam and fermented with human saliva. Accompanying this would be numerous magic rites to protect the warriors from the vengeance of the ghosts of their victims. Within a day or so after the cutting, and once the warrior was a safe distance away at a preplanned location, the head was prepared in secrecy.

The greatest aspiration of a young Shuar male was to become a renowned warrior. The Shuar believed that a killer acquired the strength of his victim, and warriors with many kills to their name were held in awe and greatly feared. The taken of the first head is a capital moment for a Shuar warrior. When the moment of the main celebration arrived, the killer - wearing the tsantsa around his neck-would enter the hut. After the head was properly cursed and insulted by those gathered, the spirit was quelled, and the head was stuck up on top of a lance. Dinner was served.

At dusk the dance would begin - a soul-killing dance - and everyone would join in. Warriors with blood-smeared bodies would dance around the tsantsa, brandishing their lances and dramatizing the kill. The feasting and rituals continued for three to five days. Chincha, narcotics and the enemy's head made for a great celebration.

Surprisingly, however, the Shuar didn't keep the finished shrunken heads. Since their reasons for taking heads had to do with revenge, punishment and spiritual renewal, the finished product lost its value at the conclusion of the ceremony. The tsantsa was generally discarded, fed to animals, or used by children as a toy.

When the white man began to infiltrate the Jivaro region in the 1850s, both parties began trading firearms and ammunition for shrunken human heads. Tsantsas were in great demand because the practice of shrinking heads has long excited the imagination of explorers, exploiters, missionaries, seamen and tourists. The going rate was one musket in trade. The Jivaro - who were used to fighting with bows and arrows, spears and lances - enthusiastically upgraded their weaponry to muskets and machetes, which only accelerated the killings between Indians.

Due to the macabre nature of the shrunken head, many "curio-hunters" from the West have sought out the tsantsa as collectibles, thus generating a sizable business in the manufacture of counterfeit tsantsa. So rare were genuine Shuar shrunken heads - and so great the demand - that others attempted to copy the Shuar technique to satisfy the market.

Since the late 1800s, the business of manufacturing counterfeit shrunken heads has been pursued in parts of Panama, Ecuador, Columbia and Peru. As more and more travelers engaged in this gruesome trade, it soon became necessary for the Peruvian and Ecuadorian governments to pass severe and expedient laws prohibiting the traffic of human heads. Laws, however, did not curb demand, and new sources were created to provide these uncouth curios for the souvenir trade.

Funny Presents for Christmas: You will not believe what happened!

Last year my wife bought me a Santa Costume online to use while I put Christmas presents under the tree for our kids. It was a funny present to get from her, because usually our children are dead asleep by the time we put the presents out. It was lucky she had gotten it though, because at our community Christmas party, the Santa Claus that had been hired had gotten lost on his way there. He called to inform us that he would try to hurry, but that he was unsure he’d make it on time. My wife had the brilliant idea for me to run home and grab my costume instead. Luckily we only lived around the block, so I figured, “why not?”

Saving Christmas

When I showed up at the party, the children and parents all cheered with excitement. I took my place in Santa’s chair, and all of the children got the chance to come and sit on my lap and confess their Christmas wishes to the one person who they believed could make them come true. Each one got a picture with me, including my own kids who were none the wiser. When my wife came and sat on my lap for a picture, my eleven year old son Jesse told her that Santa’s lap was only for children. We both laughed, and she took our three children to the craft table to distract them while I quietly slipped out. To be honest, I actually enjoyed playing Santa. So I decided that I would dress up again on Christmas Eve to deliver my kid’s presents as per my wife’s suggestion.

'Twas the Night

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring… except for me and my spouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicolas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, and it was time to strike! Okay, so that last part didn’t rhyme, but the fact remained that it was late, I was tired, and it was time. I slipped into my Santa suit, grabbed all of the presents we had wrapped during the previous weeks and began to slip them under the tree.  I was no longer tired, but rather, I was excited to be playing Santa again! My wife sat on the couch eating the cookies and milk meant for me. She made me laugh when she told me it was her way of “helping me out,” and she was just trying to be a “team player.” I figured that when I was done, I’d go see the children in their beds and wish them a merry Christmas.

After I had finished setting everything up, I began to make my way to visit to my children’s rooms. My wife intercepted my planned trajectory, however, to share the last cookie with me. I ate it, and gave her a quick smooch before heading on my way. But just then heard a squeal from the hallway that made me jump, and I looked up just in time to see Jesse running at me full speed!

“Get away from my mom!” he shouted angrily.

He jumped in between us and started hitting me as hard as the little guy could, furious tears rushing down his face. My wife and I tried our absolute best to calm him down, but to no avail, the poor child was distraught. I quickly pulled off the hat, and pulled down my beard to show him it was me.

“Jesse, it’s me! It’s dad!” I assured him.

He stopped hitting me immediately, and hugged me around the neck.

Luckily his shouts hadn’t awoken the other kids, so the three of us sat on the couch together, ate some popcorn, and watched Christmas movies until two in the morning. When I finally tucked him into bed, he told me that he was glad that I wasn’t the real Santa Claus, but that he liked my costume. I told him I had a funny song for him to listen to in the morning, and kissed him good night.

This year I decided to do it again, but this time, I’ll to avoid kissing my wife while in full Santa gear. My community Christmas party even hired me to play Santa this year. We got our Santa suit online at Noveltees Company! They have the best novelty costumes and hundreds of other gifts at great prices for this holiday season, and year round!

New design coming in soon ---coffee and marijuana - facts and pictures

One of the hottest selling items is our printed burlap bags.

Here are Some of the new designs the you can look forward for

Colombian coffee burlap bag

Colombian coffee is often regarded as some of the highest quality coffee in the world. Colombia has traditionally grown arabica beans and its unique geography makes it perfectly suited for producing a delicious, high quality brew1. Colombia’s excellent growing conditions have paired with an aggressive marketing campaign by the National Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC), which has worked since the late 1950’s to bring Colombia’s coffee sector to the forefront of international attention. Colombia has traditionally been second in global coffee production only to Brazil2, but has been set back to third by Vietnam’s recent market entry and rapidly expanding production of robusta coffees. Over 500,000 farms, most of them small landholdings of 5 hectares or less3 are scattered across the zonas cafeteras, some of the most biologically diverse landscapes in the world.

 

Purple haze burlap bag

Named after Jimi Hendrix’s 1967 classic, Purple Haze delivers a dreamy burst of euphoria that brings veteran consumers back to their psychedelic heyday. This nostalgic sativa staple remains cherished for its high energy cerebral stimulation that awakens creativity  and blissful contentment throughout the day. Purple Haze is believed to have descended from parent strains Purple thai and Haze who pass on a mix of sweet and earthly flavors underscored by notes of berry and sharp spice. Following her 8 to 9 week flowering time, Purple Haze buds typically acquire vibrant hues of lavender that further justify the naming of this strain.

 

THC BOMB burlap bag

THC Bomb is the signature hybrid strain from Bomb Seeds, and as its name indicates, it was developed to have very high THC levels—upwards of 20%! This bomb won’t completely knock you off your feet, though, thanks to its well-rounded hybrid mix. THC Bomb can be grown indoors and out. Plants are shorter but hardy and should mature in 7 to 9 weeks to produce large yields. Flowers will be large and have an even covering of bright orange hairs.

 

WHITE RHINO burlap bag

White Rhino is a hybrid of White Widow and an unknown North American indica stran creating a bushy and stout plant. The buds give off a strong and heady high. The plant's parentage hails from Afghanistan, Brazil, and India. White Rhino is one of the best types of marijuana for medicinal use since it has such a high THC content.

 

GO KUSH burlap bag

OG Kush makes up the genetic backbone of West Coast cannabis varieties, but in spite of its ubiquity, its origins remain a debatable mystery. Popular myth maintains that Chemdawg and an indica Hindu Kush parented OG Kush, passing on the distinct “kush” bud structure we see in many strains today. Other theories throw Lemon Thai genetics into the genetic mix, but no one can say for sure how this iconic strain came into existence. There are many different phenotypes of OG Kush, some of which include Tahoe OG, SFV OG, and Alpha OG.

Whatever its true genetics may be, OG Kush is commonly described as sativa-like in its euphoric and happy effects that combat stress and anxiety. It has an earthy pine scent with woody undertones, an aroma that has become the signature of OG Kush varieties and descendants. With OG Kush, patients most commonly cite improvements in migraines, ADD/ADHD, and stress disorders. It has an indoor flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks with moderate yields.

 

ASS KICKIN homegrown

Ass kickin homegrown is a powerful, high intensive marijuana that kicks your ass. Usually grown in America in home locations. But is very popular and
