Christmas tree decorations worthy of the art of Faberge hung from the christmas trees of my childhood, or so it seemed. They were beautiful, holding more significance for me than most of the gifts I was to receive.
I understand that not all guys necessarily feel the same way about them; That's
cool.
This Christmas there will be a new range of Christmas baubles, for the guys.
The Mark IIIA-1; TH M14; M15; M200A1, 36M... and a range of other hand grenade patterns are available. They are designed to blend into the tree a little, whilst providing a great conversation starter.

Better than that girly, exploding soap on a rope. |

How about little ceramic breasts, hung on wires. And little cans of Guinness. |

My mother has a few very old ornaments that are supposed to be pine cones, she says. They have always looked exactly like hand grenades to me. |
|

[waugs]: If one of the hooks falls off, don't walk, RUN! |
|
| |
Thank you, [toejam], that's closer to what I envisaged. Now, to find them in fragmentation pattern, and camouflage colours... |
|

Why not return to the orignal nordic / germanic tree decorations of bits of dead animal. Then, baracade your door with snow from the outside, climb down the chimbley and drink a coupla pintsa hallucinogenic reindeer piss! Yule be the most machoist bloke on the block. |

Odd, I read that as "masochistic". Still stands, though. |
|

For this to be truly guy stuff in the classic sense (at least my classic sense) it should instead be beer bottles, model cars, hand tools, sports balls and naked women figurines with small waists, long legs, long hair, tight butts and large breasts. |

(long pause as all the men on the site contemplate this image.) |

OK, I give up. You're all right. I specifically said grenades, so ducks and deer and little boys pissing under pine trees are obviously 'in'. |
|
| |
What was I thinking? That people would stick to the text of the idea, as posted? |
|
| |
That would be awfully demanding of you. I voted for it, though. |
|
| |
Perhaps the lack of focus is brought about by the words "hand grenade" failing to appear until the very last paragraph. "Baubles" remember, is a very vague word. That may have been what detonated this explosive list of guyish goodies. |
