Animals / ??!! / Fashion What Time Is It? Oh! Poop O'Clock!

Posted by Lindy West on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 2:58 PM

This watch, which is made of dinosaur poo and toad skin, is only $11,290.

"A relic of the Jurassic period, it has taken millions of years for this organic substance to embrace its present warm and matchless tints."

Goddamnit. I had a meeting scheduled at feces thirty.

I love the DRAMATIC STAGING of the watch as if to say, "ancient cultures regularly buried their dinopoo watches for intrepid future explorers to find".

I'll take a shit on your wrist for half that. Hell I'll even throw in a toad if you really want.

Vive la merde! Caca clock? Will wonders never cease?

It isn't "really" poop, guys, it's petrified. All the poop was gone millions of years ago. Still, it does bring to mind the old saying about a fool and his money.

Shit, if I'm going to spend $13,000 on a fucking WATCH, I'd at least like to be able to read the Goddamned numbers, ferchrissake!

@5280, he buys a watch made of shit?

I am ashamed to say that because of my 33-year love affair with dinosaurs, I think this watch is super-cool. Not $11,290-super-cool, but if it were say, $50-$100 I would totally buy it.
