Subby's mom?

Christmas balls? You mean the way my balls shrivel up when I hear shiatty Christmas music 24/7 on all radio channels throughout the month of December?

Subby: Who could possibly have a problem with that?
The Jews?

With the amount of military worship that goes on in America, I'm surprised these aren't a best seller already.

grenade chew toys?

OUTRAAAAAAGE

"Quite simply I think it's distasteful, especially if they are raising money for charity."
Because raising money for charity is the most immoral thing imaginable. Especially for people who follow a religion that mandates doing so.

The balls are inert.

I dunno, there have been numerous times that hands have helped my balls to "explode" and a good time was had by all.

"This is an Army Museum, but should still try to highlight a non-war perspective."

I actually think it is quite fitting, but maybe I don't get offended at everything ever.

Don't see what's the big deal. Maybe some people have a weapons tree along with their more traditional trees.

Given the state of logistics and the nightmarish flow of mismatched and surplus weaponry to Israel in 1948, it is entirely possible that the Israelis would have used potato-masher style grenades and hand bombs. Although "the Jews" comment is more of a response to "Christmas" than "grenades".

Yeah, me too...

I love the smell of self-righteous indignation in the morning.

Sums it up just perfectly, A+ macro.

I know what I'm giving for Christmas, next year.

/Ban them, please. My investment will go way up.

In the context of how the spread of Christianity was done through subjugation and conquest of other cultures the ornament makes perfect sense. Although its use in decorating a symbol formally used in the pagan winter holiday celebration is somewhat puzzling.

buckler: How many kids these days would recognize a pineapple grenade, anyway? Just tell 'em it's a funky pinecone and be done with it.

The Medal of Honor games are pretty popular, and those types of WW2 games use pineapple grenades.

I can't figure out where/how to buy one. Anyone read Swedish? Or do you have to go to the museum?

Who refers to Christmas ornaments as "Christmas balls"? I don't believe I've ever heard that before. I was thinking the headline refereed to some sort of confection.

/ Christmas Ordnance?

"my balls are here for your pleasure"...

skiinstructor: "my balls are here for your pleasure"...

For yours too, I'd assume?

Nadie_AZ: King Arthur? The Rabbit of Caerbannog?

Balls.

Plus, just think of the extra sensation you could get cramming them in your ass.

When I was Iraq, my family sent me a cool fiberoptic mini Christmas tree. How ever most of the balls didn't make it intact. So I had a bunch of hooks, but no decorations. So I took a bunch of red and green (Christmas colors!)tipped 5.56mm cartridges, glued the hooks to the rims, and hung them on the tree. It was a spendid sight to behold.

My platoon sergeant got on my ass about 'wasting' 30 or so bullets for my tree. I looked at him and said "Well, it's not exactly like we got a shortage of them" Then he was compaining that I ruined them by glueing hooks to the end of them, and wanted to know what I planed on doing with the 'ruined' bullets once Christmas was over. I said "I dunno. I guess I'll toss them in that pond over there" It was funny watching him turn red.

Well, during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948, the Israelis used Kar-98ks, MG-34s, and a few Czech Me-109 copies.

This link looks like an almost identical product to me. 6 for $20 shipped domestically.

Yeah, I remember reading about Israeli pilots in 1948 flying Messerschmidts against Egyptians flying Spitfires.

Seeing the headline, the first thing I thought of was this:

The Belgians?

We have shotgun shell Christmas lights in our office.

/yea, we're evil

Greymalkin: The Belgians?

Yeah. After today these ornaments are in pretty bad taste.

Meet my new FaceBook Picture.

Geez...this (new window) is more disturbing than fake hand grenade ornaments.

/come on Sweden...you are supposed to be progressive...
