SkyMall. You know you <3 it.

I’ve been traveling a lot lately.
This is a good thing. Especially since it means that I get to peruse SkyMall a lot more (on my trip back to Atlanta from Syracuse I was fortunate enough to look through the Holiday catalog).
From a techyness standpoint, SkyMall provides a lot of laughs. What kills me is how expensive the stuff is though.
A recent Maxim article wrote about some of the worst stuff on SkyMall…
The World’s Largets Crossword Puzzle $30
I only know two kinds of people that do crossword puzzles: Young people who want, desperately, to look smarter than they are and old people who think it will keep them from eventually forgetting where they live or how to put on pants. The only way this puzzle could possibly be any fun is if you taped it in a doorway and blasted through it like a high school football team.
SkyRest Pillow $29.99
When you’re crammed into a tiny airplane seat, trying desperately to find a position in which you can sleep without waking up completely paralyzed, this product might seem like a great idea. But when you realize that you’d have to drag that big, stupid thing with you on your whole trip, it will make those terrible airline pillows seem a little less terrible.
The Hidden Litter Box $129
Attention cat people: If an animal regularly craps in your house, it’s going to smell bad no matter how fancy your litter box is. This planter/crapper hides your cat’s business in a decorative pot. That way when you have guests over, they’ll just think you bought a plant that grows cat crap instead of fruit. Also try the Litter Robot.

The best is a book called “SkyMaul: Happy Crap You Can Buy from a Plane” available via Amazon. Check out sample pages here.
Let award-winning comedy troupe Kasper Hauser transport you into the sublime universe that is SkyMaul, where Banana-ganizers and Reality-Canceling Headphones coexist with Crack Pipe Chess Sets and Llamacycles. More than just a catalog parody, SkyMaul explodes with razor-sharp wit, boundless creativity, and a keen eye for the absurd. This smart, edgy satire will earn your laughter again and again.
If only the book would arrive in time for my flight tomorrow.
