Previously on LDHD: "Right in the middle of holiday shopping? In the spirit of the season, LDHD took a recent poll and came up with several popular items the public's lusting after in a major way this year. Granted, you could just buy your loved ones a few more squeak toys, but why not put a little bite in your kibble...and take a look...(Photo by J.M. Hilton)

The Lily the Spaniel Action Figure. Like the Rubik's Cube or the Pet Rock, it's a little hard to understand the popularlity of this particular item. The figure eats, sleeps, and snores. And it gets frustrating. It IS cute. Batteries included, and there is a plug-in version available. But it doesn't do anything, either. #2178 Can also be used as a throw rug! (Photo by J.M. Hilton)

The Little LuLu Rolls in Poop Doll. Want to get rid of unwanted holiday guests? Slip four AA batteries into the slot beneath LuLu's harness, and let 'er rip. If there is poop in your yard, the doll will locate it. Guaranteed to soil carpets, chairs, and beds. #8276 Machine washable...upholstery cleaner extra. Hearing your guests' hysterical screams as they pack up and run for the door? PRICELESS~ (Photo by J.M. Hilton)

The Cat Burglar Feline Robot. A fun gift for just about anyone on a fixed income, the CBFR can see in the dark and works via remote control. A clever and entertaining gift, it can keep a retiree busy for hours at a time. #4731 Comes with or without sharp front claws. (Photo by Steph J.)

The Sadie Whippet Break Out of Con College Computer Game features car chases, explosions, guns, and killer wolf packs. It's the perfect stocking stuffer for an introverted teen with a chip on his shoulder. #7490 Game officially registered with Homeland Security. (Photo by J.M. Hilton)

The Kvetching Kitty Pocket Reminder is the mother-in-law you never had. She will remind you daily of missed appointments, broken relationships, and overdue library books. A conversation piece guaranteed to cost you friends, batteries are not included -- mainly as the guys on the loading dock complained. #5789 No refunds. (Photo by J.M. Hilton)

The Shamus O'Possum Wall Poster for the Politically Undecided. Impress your friends without committing yourself in either direction. Especially popular with lobbyists and bankers this holiday season. #6769 Free shipping, maybe. (Cartoon by A.G. Oscard)

"These items are flying off the shelves faster than a celebrity tell-all book, folks! So get 'em while they're hot, like most of our merchandise. Order NOW at Santaslittlehelper@jinglerat.com. And just to ease your mind regarding ripoffs and identity theft -- our company's based in Tampa, Florida -- so you KNOW we're legit!" (Photo by J.M. Hilton)

Previously on LDHD: "At times like these, it's difficult to know which press release to use: "Actually, we've never met"..."We're really just friends"...or "We're rushing the books to the stores." (Photo by J.M. Hilton)

"And now a special update from The National Intruder Online." (Photo by J.M. Hilton)

"A mistress? ME? You've got to be kidding! No way! I smell a rat!" (Photo compliments of Photo Leo)

"Moi? The mistress of a billionaire? Why, that's absurd! How dare you impugn my good name? I'm taking religious vows next week!" (Photo by Steph J.)

"There are days when I just have to get out of the litter box and breathe the good air!" (Photo by J.M. Hilton)
