Sky Mall: A bag of laughs

On the way back from a business trip, I couldn't resist scanning through the holiday edition of the Sky Mall magazine. You know the one I'm talking about. It's the catalogue they put in the seat pocket along with the evacuation directions and the barf bag.

For your reading enjoyment, I picked a few of my favorite items that really made me laugh and snapped some photos with my handy dandy iPhone 4S (the lady sitting next to me thought I was a weirdo--so true).

You can click on the photos to view an enlarged version. Why? Because I care. :-)

Here goes:

1.   Vintage Express:
For just $99 (what a bargain) wine lovers can use this device to age wine by years in just 10 seconds. Apparently, powerful magnets can turn Welch's Grape Juice into finely aged wine. Just don't sit your credit cards or computer down next to this puppy, or they will get aged right out of usefulness. I'm no connoisseur of wine, but I'm pretty sure this one fails to pass the smell test. Epic fail. And no, this is not how Jesus turned water into wine. :-P

2. MythBuster Bobble heads

Now I'll admit, I'm fond of the show MythBusters on the Discovery Channel, but my passion must not run as deep as die hard fans.  I saw these and they automatically made by 21st century knick knack list.

3. Wristband iPhone holder
Now Myth Busters may not be your thing. And you may not be a purveyor of fine wine, but you have an iPhone or a smart phone, don't you? Wouldn't it be great if you could lock that iPhone or Android phone to your wrist for ease of use (just don't high five anyone...or no more phoney). This is insane. My favorite value proposition: Never misplace your smartphone again. If you do invest and you are a man, also invest in shirts with much larger cuffs on the sleeves. Better yet. Wear your Wristband iPhone holder with that trendy button-up short-sleeve Oxford. Nice.

4. Spiked hair hat
Forget those "Just Hair For Men" products. I also skipped over the LED baldness treatment helmet (really!) to share this dandy solution for the folliclely (is that a word?) challenged. Ladies, get him that Spike Hair Hat for Christmas. It'll make him look.....different. Wow! Take a look....

5. The Brobdingnagian Sports Chair

The B..... Chair. Wha-huh???
Really, Gulliver?
$150!!!??
If you want to know what it is like to be a Hobbit at a "Picnic of Man"...this is for you.

6. The Slanket

Look out Snuggie. The Slanket is creeping up on you. Welcome to the "white elephant" gift of 2011. This one just made me shake my head. Click the pic and take a good hard look! My favorite is the Siamese version.  Awwww.....

These are all real and available on SkyMall.com apparently.

All signs of a decaying society.

Which one is your favorite?

P.S. I have no connection at all to SkyMall. I couldn't resist the silly factor here.
