During a 90-minute delay on the runway in Denver due to hydraulic problems in our airplane (nothing scary there), I finished the book I was reading, consumed salty peanuts, discovered that hummus should not be served in a squeeze tube, and spent some time cruising the Skymall catalogue, where I discovered important and exciting new things...
1- a seven foot, $2300 inflatable alien costume
2- a swimming kaleidoscopic fish for your pool
3- several versions of a pet potty for your condo balcony
4- a variety of really unattractive garden sculptures
5- a twisting scooter called the Whiplash ---- now that sounds safe
6- spray-on, shake-in hair fibres to give balding guys the look of a full head of hair
7- a voice-activated R2D2
8- a telekenetic obstacle course that uses your brain waves to maneuver a ball
9- an underwater light show and fountain
10- a dog kennel / coffee table combo
11- the snore terminator wrist attachment
12- various iPhone attachments and chargers
13- a creepy looking tombstone-looking personalized concrete bench
14- a life-sized King Tut sarcophagus cabinet with 14 storage shelves
15- club box seats from Fenway Park
16- a very odd-looking sports bra for men
17- the Face Trainer surgery-free face lift
18- the Hollywood Cookie Diet...
... and oh so much more! Check out skymall for gizmos gadgets and wacky crap galore. Do people actually buy this stuff?

Dibs on the face trainer!
There was so much laughing involved in this post that I'm pretty sure I wet my pants. You had me at tubed hummus.

OMG I just sold a voice activated R2D2 at a yard sale, my father in law bought it for us, he does stuff like that. (don't know why, neither of us our star wars fan) R2 drove me nuts it would listen to a few commands and then it gave me attitude. Sold it to some kid for 10 bucks. I would have sold it for 2 bucks and lent the kid the 2 bucks.
All those items sound perfectly reasonable and useful to me. I don't know why you're getting on your high horse about them. Your inflatable, glow-in-the-dark, sports-bra-wearing horse.
Ummm... wow. And if I were a dude, I would not wear a bra. As far as I see it, that's a perk of being a guy.
I've always wondered if anyone every buys anything from Skymall.
They did not have house shoes with headlights?!?!?! Damn you Sky mall!!!!!
Very interesting items here. Hope the honeymoon is going well. enjoy yourselves.

I always wondered if anyone did! Hope you are having fun!
I gotta admit was tempted by some of the totally unnecessary iPhone accessories, as what could be better than gadgets for a gadget, and beyond that, really some of this stuff is kinda cool, and some of it is just whacked...
Although I totally need none of these things, I totally want them all- what is WRONG with me?!
I totally need all of those Skymall things! And I love looking at the catalogs! I'm sitting on a plane for hours and bored out of my skull. Why not order stuff!
