Apr 9th, 2012 at 1:00PM: Hotel beds are gross. That's just a fact. Frankly, everything in your hotel room is contaminated with something (including bodily fluids) and not just the hellholes where you expect to find filth. These days, however, more and more people are worried about a particular cleanliness issue in hotels: bedbugs. Not only will bedbugs make your stay miserable, but you very well could ruin your home life ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

SkyMall Monday: Bed Bug Sleeping Cocoon (Poll)
Apr 9th, 2012 at 1:00PM: Hotel beds are gross. That's just a fact. Frankly, everything in your hotel room is contaminated with something (including bodily fluids) and not just the hellholes where you expect to find filth. These days, however, more and more people are worried about a particular cleanliness issue in hotels: bedbugs. Not only will bedbugs make your stay miserable, but you very well could ruin your home life ...SkyMall Monday: Velvet Rasta Hat
Apr 2nd, 2012 at 1:00PM: A person's choice of religion is a serious matter. For many, there is no choice in the matter. They are born into a faith and their spiritual path through life is already mapped out. For others, the search for answers is a quest that lasts a lifetime. Here at "SkyMall Monday" headquarters, we keep things pretty secular, pausing only occasionally to seek answers from the all-knowing one. For those ...SkyMall Monday: T-Rex Dinosaur Trophy Frieze
Mar 26th, 2012 at 1:00PM:
I don't know much about hunting (and what I do know I learned from Zach Everson) but I've always wanted an animal trophy on my wall. However, I don't want to kill something just for sport (unless it's the most dangerous game) and finding an animal that I can track, kill and eat near the SkyMall Monday New York City headquarters is tough (the Parks Department frowns on the use of rifles in ...SkyMall Monday: Arm Exercise Weights
Mar 19th, 2012 at 1:00PM: SkyMall Monday has a rich history of promoting fitness equipment that combines wellness and the workplace. From the Sit Fit to the Trekdesk and the Springflex UB, we've enjoyed showing you how to use SkyMall products to maximize your time at the office. However, we've only covered cardio and heavy resistance workouts. What about those of you who just want some low-impact exercise to keep yourself ...SkyMall Monday: Toilet Dog & Cat Water Bowl
Mar 12th, 2012 at 1:00PM: Dogs and cats have an odd fascination with toilets. They try to drink from toilets, they fall into toilets and they are mesmerized by the sounds made when you flush toilets. Here at SkyMall Monday headquarters, we have one furry toilet drinker who hits the bowl hard when he's stressed. However, no pet owner wants to encourage that behavior because toilets are filled with bacteria and germs. ...SkyMall Monday: Toothpaste Tablets
Mar 5th, 2012 at 1:00PM: The restrictions that the TSA places on liquids in our carry-on luggage are frustrating for everyone. How are we supposed to pack all of our lotions, creams, ointments, salves, balms, rinses and sprays in a single one-quart baggie (without getting sneaky)? Looking good isn't easy and requires tremendous amounts of upkeep. This is particularly true when it comes to oral hygiene. Packing handfuls of ...SkyMall Monday: Super-Sized David Statue
Feb 27th, 2012 at 1:00PM: I don't profess to "get" art. Show me cherubs and I just see a bunch of babies that could use some diapers. A painting of a horse? I'm going to assume that the artist really admired those equine thighs because I do not see any deeper meaning to that portrait. Here at SkyMall Monday, we have one piece of art, and it's simple enough for me to understand (Calvin, on the other hand, is a member of the ...SkyMall Monday: Giddyup! Core Exerciser
Feb 20th, 2012 at 1:00PM: The best pieces of exercise equipment incorporate a healthy dose of sexual innuendo. It keeps the user motivated and makes for great people watching at the gym. I mean, isn't that basically the whole idea behind the Shake Weight? Here at SkyMall Monday headquarters, we try to keep our exercise low impact, but we always keep an eye out for new and erotic ways to stay fit. Thankfully, SkyMall has ...SkyMall Monday: Sonic Boom Sweetheart Clock
Feb 13th, 2012 at 1:00PM: Boxes of chocolates. Pillows. Even pepperoni pizzas. On Valentine's Day, you'll see anything and everything shaped like a heart. However, you can't start your cavalcade of hearts on Valentine's Day until you wake up. For many people, though, that's the hardest part of their day. Here at SkyMall Monday headquarters, we don't always attack the day. No matter how much you love the person next to you ...SkyMall Monday: Undead Elvis & Marilyn
Feb 6th, 2012 at 1:00PM: How we remember our heroes usually depends on when we idolized them. The images that move us the most get etched into our brains. As a kid, I wanted to be Indiana Jones. In my mind, Harrison Ford will always been that whip-toting adventurer (though not the one with the sagging man-boobs in the most recent Indy film that I refuse to acknowledge). He'll always have a place on the Wall of Honor in ...SkyMall Monday: Food Pillows
Jan 23rd, 2012 at 1:00PM: Some decisions are easy because you simply don't have a choice. The decision is made for you when there's only one option. Others force you to pick between two worthy candidates (think ice cream or cookies for dessert). Things get tricky when you encounter more than two viable options. How do you choose from a cornucopia of wonder? Here at SkyMall Monday, we typically engage in heated battles of ...SkyMall Monday: Rechargeable Heated Slippers
Jan 16th, 2012 at 1:00PM:
What do you wear to stay warm? A hat? Some mittens? Perhaps a pair of boots? You're a fool. When temperatures plunge below freezing, you can't rely on down and wool to keep you from dying of hypothermia. And body heat alone won't suffice when you're lost in the wilderness. If you're going to keep frostbite at bay you need to bring your own heat to the party. This week, SkyMall Monday looks at ...
SkyMall Monday: Beard Cap
Jan 9th, 2012 at 1:00PM: I've been a bit cranky in this space recently. I've railed against the Nuddle Blanket and the Ponchillow in the last few weeks. Many of you, I'm sure, have begun to worry that I've lost my zest for SkyMall. Rest assured that I remain optimistic about our favorite in-flight catalog and that there are still countless products that leave me engorged with excitement. In fact, SkyMall Monday ...SkyMall Monday: Ponchillo, the fleece poncho with a pillow
Jan 2nd, 2012 at 1:00PM: It hasn't even been a month since I railed against the Nuddle Blanket and called for everyone to stop purchasing asinine blankets with sleeves. I thought for sure that common sense would spread across the land and that sanity would prevail. Alas, a new threat has presented itself and we must once again brace ourselves for an onslaught of perplexing infomercials. Despite our best efforts here at ...SkyMall Monday: O to Go Portable Wine Glasses
Dec 26th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Going out for a lavish meal with friends is one of the great pleasures in life. Elegant food, good company and, of course, delicious wine make for a wonderful night out. However, some people take their wine very seriously and anything that takes away from their vino experience can ruin the evening. The last thing anyone wants is for one of their friends to storm out of the restaurant because the ...SkyMall Monday: Cell Phone Handset Battle
Dec 19th, 2011 at 1:00PM:
If you've used an iPhone, you know that holding it up to your ear for a long period of time can be uncomfortable. If you need to be on a lengthy call, cradling the iPhone in your hand can get tiresome. Speakerphone is not always a viable option and headphones can be unsafe for your ears. Thankfully, SkyMall offers two options for adding a handset to your iPhone. This week, SkyMall Monday ...SkyMall Monday: Clocks
Dec 12th, 2011 at 1:00PM: We're a culture that's fixated on time. We schedule meetings, play dates for our kids, parties and dates. We're hyper-aware of the time. Here at SkyMall Monday, we have our days scheduled right down to the minute. We keep clocks on the walls, watches on our wrists and smartphones handy to check the time no matter where we are in the ol' HQ. Our lives can get pretty chaotic this time of year, but ...SkyMall Monday: Nuddle Blanket
Dec 5th, 2011 at 1:00PM: We can tolerate a lot here at Skymall Monday. We have a soft spot for Wine Glass Holder Necklaces, adult bibs for sloppily eating in the car and, of course, the Edge Brownie Pan. Sometimes, though, products just rub us the wrong way. Sure, we can usually feign enjoyment for the sake of a joke, but not this week. Frankly, we're at our wits' end. Enough with novelty blankets already! The Snuggie ...SkyMall Monday: Leaf Rake Hands
Nov 28th, 2011 at 1:00PM: As kids, it's natural to imagine ourselves as superheroes. Heck, some of us still fantasize about that as adults. How cool would it be to have super powers and to defend the world against supervillians. Sadly, however, reality is such that this isn't really possible. Even if you tried to be a superhero, you'd probably just end up in trouble with the law. At the end of the day, there are no ...SkyMall Monday: Obol
Nov 21st, 2011 at 1:00PM: There's a time and a place for mushy foods. Not having to chew comes in handy when you've had your wisdom teeth pulled, your jaw wired shut or you've misplaced your dentures. Beyond that, the sensation of chewing is part of the enjoyment of eating. People want to feel something hearty and substantial in their mouths (that's what she said). Here at SkyMall Monday headquarters, we start each day ...
