SkyMall Window Shopping

Shuffling down the aisle to 21A, I found myself genuinely excited to get to my SkyMall magazine.  Every flight, I assume it'll be the same tchotchkes and "inventions" as the last time, but they never cease to amaze.  There is a bottomless market for useless shit.  Highlights from the Fall 2010 issue.

There's a TLC special about the people that buy these.  They treat them like real babies.  These are not made for children, but lonely deranged adults.  "All you have to do is cherish her."

$25 for goo that you mush into your various electronic devices to get other goo and "debris" out from between the buttons.  And it somehow kills germs, too. 

This one, I kind of like.  I would wear this.  They send you a kit with "a special clay made of microscopic particles of pure silver", you press your thumb into it, send it back, and they make a charm out of the print.  Yeah, I'd do that.  I guess not for $70, though.

This would have been really impressive on an 80's spy show.  I am still sort of impressed by it actually.  But why would you want your watch to be your cell phone when everyone already uses their cell phone as their watch?
 

I would totally sleep under his stars.  I'm so jealous of that little kid.

Muscular Anubis. Some people live in places where it would seriously be possible to have this in your home.  Even if you had the space, why, why?

Awesome Harry Potter necklace.  It doesn't show it here, but according to the website, there's a $49 version and a $125 dollar version.  I totally want one. 

Thats just the wost cat model ever.  He looks like a evil gargoyle.  Loki would have been so much better. Also, how the fuck does this work??

I'm really getting this for my birthday this week!  I've used one before and they are amazing.  Instant soda!  Instant seltzer!  I love SkyMall!
