What began in the Flickr group known as IWUS has now crossed an ocean and invaded our home. The BITWRATHPLOOB, discovered by Flickr users Marigoldie and Tina, first made its way to Virginia to alarm and harass Jagosaurus before being forwarded on so generously to the former Yugoslavia. According to a label affixed to the bottom of the, the, thing, this is not its first time on Europe’s shores: it was crafted in Denmark.

While the BITWRATHPLOOB is reasonably benign, it encapsulates so many of the traits of items I do not want in my home. So the BITWRATHPLOOB will be moving on one of these days, maybe soon, probably in an easterly direction. But we will not have heard the last of him…

[Update -- Magda's reaction:]

What is this thing? What IS it?

Um, I don’t really like that thing. I just don’t like it.

Could we, um, put that thing somewhere where I don’t have to look at it?

Why would someone make that? I mean, things should have a purpose and this has none. Someone made this. What is it for? Why would you make it?
