Needless to say, as I was perusing the Cabela's Home & Cabin Spring 2012 catalog, I stumbled upon something that raised my hackles, just a bit. It made me wonder, were I in the dating world, how I would feel about dating someone who decorated his home in The Bone Collector collection. It has an image of a deer skull, in the midst of which is an image of a human skull, and it says The Bone Collector. Right there. On the throw pillows/comforters/light switches/waste baskets/toothbrush holders/shower curtains. Can you say creepy? Okay, you have to go take a look at this decor HERE. Go peek. I'll wait here until you get back!
Oh good, you're back. So, I know this is some hunting thing. But seriously, ladies, if you go over to a guy's house for the first time and he has a Bone Collector throw pillow, do you really want to stay? What do you think, readers? Can you hear a little horror theme music in the background?

I don't think I'd be sticking around....
I can't confirm it....because I was afraid to...but I'll betcha a few ladies I dated had that decor....I ran fast....
ReplyDeleteBut, but... it's 20% off and there's free shipping! Lol.
ReplyDeleteThat's hideous. Who came up with that idea, I wanna know. Seriously... it's... serial material.
ReplyDeleteShame on Cabelas... who the heck was sitting in the board room when they OK'd that design.
That is just plain creepy!
ReplyDeleteThat's crazy! "" have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteUgh and it says it on the sheets. FREAKY. No way. Happy non bone collector weekend!
ReplyDeleteoh, i don't think I can stay there for a longer time, for sure my eyes and mind would be flying, thinking of something else that will scare me more,hahaha.. Thanks for sharing..:)
ReplyDeleteWhat WERE they thinking? This is crazy and not worthy of Cabela's. ????
ReplyDeleteIf you come across someone with this decor, find out if he also has a stock of fava beans and chianti. If so, run! Run for your life!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a firm believer that bones and decorative pillows are NOT a good combination! Creepy is right!
ReplyDeleteThe Bone Collector is that movie w/ Angelina Jolie & Denzel Washington, right? Am I on the right page?
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd say that's pretty creepy, but what I'm trying to figure out is why they have sheets & all that sporting a movie that old... it wasn't even that good of a movie, in my opinion!
But, yeah, I completely agree... too creepy of a guy to date w/ all that death & what-not decor!
Find someone else, Ladies, it's in your best interest!!! =)
Yikes! This post makes me really glad I'm married!
ReplyDeletei'm laughing, but because my yard is often riddled with various skeletal pieces of unknown origin, i'd have to say it wouldn't put me off much... :)
ReplyDeleteEW!
ReplyDeleteNot the kind of guy I would choose to date... icky decor!
ReplyDeleteOh my...so glad my dating days are over. Too many crazies out there.
ReplyDeleteHECK NO! sandie
ReplyDeleteIt's been over 30 years since I've had a date...maybe this is why! ROFL!
ReplyDeleteAs a man, if I had a guy friend who had that kind of stuff, I'd only want to hang out with him in public places.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else read the customer review? Now we know how serial killers are raised. JK. But seriously what are they thinking?
ReplyDeleteI'm a hunter but that is creepy. Snakes and misc. other dead animals in the fridge or freezer is genarally O.K. but I'm pretty sure my wife isn't going to be letting any of the collection in our house anytime soon. I've seen other Bone Collector series but don't recall seeing the human skull before.
ReplyDeleteROFLOL!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness I don't have to do the dating scene any longer... but my Hubs is big into deer heads and things he has hunted. I am not thrilled with it but I accept it and he only has it in his den.
ReplyDeleteEek...save me from whoever likes that stuff! LOL! Glad I am married to a guy who isn't into bones!

I can't say I'd like it in my house, and if I saw it in someone's house, I'd wonder . . .
ReplyDeletePutting the words "Bone Collector" on the materials just makes it worse.
I do have to say that the animal skull seemed kind of Georgia O'Keefe'ish. I like her flowers better!
I'm thinking no thanks. I didn't like looking at a dead trophy fish on the wall that my DH caught, and I surely wouldn't go for a bone collector motif!
ReplyDeleteOh man! I may be old(er) but I'd be trippin' over myself to get the heck outta there!! :)
ReplyDeleteummm...you didn't say how good looking the guy was.
ReplyDeleteit's been 40 years since i've been on a date....it was shocking to type that!!
ReplyDeleteand no thanks...too creepy for me!
Ok, so you had me creeped out with your Jason mask on the page and I had visions of blood dripping sheets that were black. Those sheets weren't that bad. As long as the guy had deer heads, some fox, maybe a moose antler or two, I'd be ok with his decor saying that.
ReplyDeleteAs long as he was an animal hunter. The furry kind.
Oh my goodness... Heck no!!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely wouldn't be staying either! Isn't it so weird some of the things people make that think will sell?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to creepy to me!
ReplyDeletelove

Eww! Reminds me of the time when I was a kid that I went to some people's house in Mexico and the kids were playing with a human skull!
ReplyDeleteI would not stick around either...I have not been in the dating scene forever now too
ReplyDeleteoh dear!! When my husband and I go out for a drink on a Friday night I invariably say i am glad i am so over this scene..but now after seeing this post..i am REALLY glad!!
ReplyDeletei am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can.
HORRORS!!!! Strictly for male hunters who are never getting married. But then again, how many of them will shop and look at catalogs. So all that leaves is the serial killers...perhaps this is a ruse to draw Hannibal Lector out of hiding...

I will have to screen them a bit more.Like whay is that room all padalocked.
ReplyDeleteand it comes in 2 colours...oh the choice...which one will I choose...drat!
ReplyDeletePS Thanks for joining my doodle world...now to go and fine Jackie, maybe!!!
A smart girl should wear sneakers nor heels on her first date...
ReplyDeleteEEEGads....I haven't dated in a long time either, but I do know if I came across someone who I WAS dating and he had that in his collection, well, I'd be sneaking out the door quietly and NOT looking back!
ReplyDeleteI am dating right now (at 38, *shudder* it's awful.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, if I saw that bedding I would at the very least text my BFF and say "if I go missing, here's the address where you will find my body...."
Well, it was a really good book :-)
ReplyDeleteNo! Anyone who decorates with a "death" theme is an automatic cast asunder!
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me wonder about this is the fact that most men don't buy pillow shams and comforters to "decorate", so who is buying this stuff???? WOMEN??? For the men in their life???
ReplyDeleteEEEEK!!
Uh, no....there is no way I'd be sticking around after that.
ReplyDeleteFreaky.
Too funny...I think that I would run. But wait....I do have cow skulls in my vegetable garden...Oh well. Oh and there is that deer skull that Zippy just found. ha ha ha..
