Like many people, it seems, I bought this as a joke for a friend.

And I'll be honest, the Lovin' Lamb lived up to what we wanted it for. It was a pool toy, it was a dance partner, it was a centerpiece, and eventually it was taken to a nightclub and batted around like a balloon over a mosh-pit. A Love-Lamb has never had such an interesting night out. Actually, I'm sure they have.

For sheer hilarity value, I loved this. It was perfectly, horrifyingly, awesomely cheesy, slightly offensive, and ridiculous to an extent that was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I had said that since I didn't have time to bake cookies, I would bring a blow-up doll. And I did. I got off that bus, fully-inflated love-sheep tucked under my arm like a football, six pack of beer in the other hand, ready for an ADVENTURE.

Spanky (we called her/him/it Spanky) the Love Lamb was a hit at the party. I especially liked riding it around, or at least pretending I was, whilst wearing a tiny cowboy hat and holding a bottle of tequ... Anyway, yes. This is one of those things, as you can imagine, that does not get much play in "Real Life", (I hope?) but is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for any situation where you need (or want) to bring something so completely over the top that it's laughable.

As far as I know, nobody made any untoward advances, other than grabbing it like a bowling ball and throwing it, but after I left I do not know what went down with the love lamb. While I was there, however, this was worth every second of carrying a fully-inflated love lamb on public transportation, and every dime I spent on it.

Long live Spanky the Love Lamb!
