The SkyMall Chuckles...

Well, I found myself on a plane this week. When I run out of things to read...I always know I can go to SkyMall for a good chuckle! Without further ado...13 chuckles from SkyMall....
1) There are no words for whatever this is, or does...
2) It's called a slanket...Looks to me from the Jabba the Hut collection (do you want to look like this?)
3) I am sure this appeals to someone...just not me:)
4) Again, I am sure this vest is very functional...Ask yourself...Will it go with my "Mom Jeans"?
5) This is a Jagermiester shot dispenser...oh the pain of college flashbacks...I am nauseous just thinking about it. Must move on! 6) Will someone tell me what this is, and what it does? Why do magnets help my performance?
7) This might just be my fav! C'mon, who doesn't want a Big Foot Garden Yeti?
8) These are a good idea in theory (wear them to clean pet hair and dust off the floor)...Would you want to wear a broom/mop. Gotta think it gets kinda gross...

9) Gold dipped roses...Why is this a good idea?
10) Again, do you want to be this guy? It probably is a great product...I just don't want to look like this in public...

11) This shocks your partner if they snore...'nuff said, I want one for Husband (cue evil laugh). 12) Who wants a claw machine in their house? Seriously, who?
13) Poop Freeze...'nuff said!

    I know someone who got the candy crane for Christmas, and let me tell you, that thing involves some serious coordination...

    Number 5 is cool. I use to have a vest similar to the one in the picture. I use to take it to Vegas with me to put my change in. Happy TT.

    ok, this list has me laughing out loud! I can't help but think of the toddler who got into a claw machine last year - why would anyone want that in their home?! :)

    This is so funny! I've seen the poop freeze before and wondered what type of person buys it. I suspect this one neighbor of mine would stock up...

    You can really freeze poop? That might be interesting...but probably not.

    Thank you so much for posting this. I am getting on a plane in 2 days so this will help speed up my shopping. I was wondering if the cooler scooter had optional add on trailers to transport the kids...I am thinking a little cooler scooter train with each kid sitting on his cold snacks? That would be really handy. I was also relieved that the poop freeze was for outdoor use...or you could use it in conjunction with the claw...hmmmm.

    sadly my nephew would adore the claw machine in his house. He pesters his mother every time they are out shopping... and she gives in enough for the obsession to remain.

    I got a "slanket" from my sister for Christmas...I couldn't stop laughing. I never sit down, I am not a couch potatoe. I just pictured my self running through the house with that thing on and I couldn't stop laughing when I opened it.

    I did notice that dog poop was easier to pick up when frozen. I let mother nature freeze my dogs excrements. I can't believe someone came up with a product for this!

    Were we on the same flight? Although I do like #10. It isn't pretty but that is the only way I can sleep on planes unless I've got the whole row to myself. And that isn't happening again. Ever.

    The first one is a neck traction unit - right? I have one but it's to be used on the floor. Great stuff.

    Happy TT!

    I actually know the guy who came up with the gold dipped roses. He's made MILLIONS on them, and literally is set for life. He's older, I think in his 70's, drives around an old Subaru, lives in a little house downtown, and works as a driver for Pizza Hut part time to kill time. The only way you can tell he has money is when you go inside his house... and his 1/2 inch oak floors... and Steinway baby grand in his living room... etc etc... I lust after his granite counter tops.
