SkyMall is dead. Long live Skymall

To misquote the late, great, Mark Twain "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated". 

Happily this isn't in connection to me, but about the beloved and adored, if not respected, SkyMall catalogue.

Whenever I have gotten onto an internal flight in the beautiful US of A, I have always searched for the SkyMall catalogue. It fills me with wonder at the ludicrousness of the items in it. 

Do you want a Bigfoot garden ornament? They have it.

Or a glow in the dark toilet seat? They have it.

Whats that? I didn't quite hear you. You want a Bigfoot garden ornament for Christmas? They have it.

In light of all of the above, do you know anyone who would appreciate, let alone pay for, an Armadillo Beverage Holder? Well, they've got that too.

Thanks SkyMall.

Honey I'm Home

Its been a long journey but we're finally home. From Chicago to Israel was a real shlep, which basically took a long day. But it's done now and we're home.



I think that the main thing we can long from this journey is that SkyMall really does win any competition based around the most addictive but useless, asinine yet ponderous, juvenile yet interesting and useless products ever sold outside of a Hong Kong garbage dump.

A poster from the latest super hero movie - nice, but not something I'd buy.
Description? Thus:

Robert Downey Jr. and Michey Rourke 16x24 Autographed Iron Man 2 Poster

Stunning movie poster personally signed by both Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and Michey Rourke (Whiplash).
Limted Edition of 200

Price? A mere $499.99 not including postage and packaging!


Your honour, I rest my case.
