THE UNEMPLOYED PHILOSOPHERS GUILD began millennia ago in ancient Athens. (We’re kicking ourselves for not saving our ancient artifacts – which were new artifacts at the time… then used artifacts – and we would’ve had to schlep them through the Dark Ages and all those Witch Trials… if only we could remember where we buried them.) Anyway, we’ve been making things to crack people up for a long time, carrying on this age-old tradition from our Ivory Tower HQ in Brooklyn, New York. We hope you enjoy our artifacts.

The Unemployed Philosophers Guild In your corner since roughly 399 BCE.

BOB ROSS JOY OF PAINTING MAGNETIC PLAY SET Happy little trees… happy little clouds…

The fridge is your canvas – also your locker – and so is the file cabinet at work! Bob Ross Joy of Painting Magnetic Play Set comes complete with an easel, paints, brushes, and elements you can add to three different canvases – a mountain lake, an alpine snowscape, and a serene forest waterfall.

Now you can dress the gentle art icon with fun 80s-era fashions and accessories. Surround Bob Ross with animal friends and bring calm to your kitchen or your office. Show everyone your “magnet-on-metal” painting technique! #5624 Multiples of 6.

FREDDIE MERCURY MAGNETIC PERSONALITY Freddie Mercury and Queen captivated the crowds on tour and at the “Live Aid” benefit concert – with more than a billion viewers all over the world! Now your Freddie can keep you company on the road! On the tour bus, he’s a magnet on the mini fridge. When the house music plays, he’s a finger puppet on your glammest of fingers, and – he will – he will – ROCK YOU! Not recommended for use in thunderbolts and lightning (very, very frightening).

Everyone’s a critic!) #5654 Multiples of 6.
