Nov 14th, 2011 at 1:00PM: I typically have very firm feelings about a SkyMall product. I either love it with all of my heart or hate it with a fiery passion. We're not shy with our opinions here at SkyMall Monday headquarters. So, you can imagine how I feel this week when, well, I'm not sure what to think about the featured product. My gut tells me that it's horrible. Heck, my mind tells me that, too. But, some other part ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

SkyMall Monday: Is the tugo rolling luggage drink holder clever or idiotic?
Nov 14th, 2011 at 1:00PM: I typically have very firm feelings about a SkyMall product. I either love it with all of my heart or hate it with a fiery passion. We're not shy with our opinions here at SkyMall Monday headquarters. So, you can imagine how I feel this week when, well, I'm not sure what to think about the featured product. My gut tells me that it's horrible. Heck, my mind tells me that, too. But, some other part ...SkyMall Monday: Protein Ketchup
Nov 7th, 2011 at 1:00PM: The other day, while relaxing in SkyMall Monday headquarters, I was about to enjoy a juicy hamburger with some french fries when an alarm went off in my brain. I realized that a burger and fries was not a very nutritious meal. Here I am, trying to get in shape for my wedding and I'm denying my body what it really needs. I immediately put the burger down and thought about what I could do ...SkyMall Monday: Create a SkyMall product, earn a $1 million investment
Oct 31st, 2011 at 1:00PM: How often do you flip through the SkyMall catalog and think to yourself, "I could have created that"? If you're like me, you do that every single time you read it. For all of the jokes we make at SkyMall's expense, it is a lucrative business and many of those zany inventions have done quite well financially. It's easy to think that you can create something just as good, if not better, than what's ...SkyMall Monday: Large Universal Skate Sail (the worst SkyMall product ever?)
Oct 24th, 2011 at 1:00PM: I want to love every SkyMall product. I mean, they're all so gosh darn loveable. And, like the infomercials that you see when you can't fall asleep, the descriptions of each gadget in SkyMall lead you to believe that they're the greatest thing since the Edge Brownie Pan. Every SkyMall product that we've ever reviewed for SkyMall Monday has touted itself as life-changing and showcased all of its ...SkyMall Monday: StarScreen Social Backdrops
Oct 17th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Working from home is dramatically different from working in an office. For one, those of us who work from home rarely put on pants. Beyond that, we often spend most of our time alone, sitting at our makeshift, on our couches or even laying in our beds in front of our computers. The vast majority of the time this unconventional work environment is irrelevant, because no one sees us. So long as ...SkyMall Monday: Sit Fit Exercise Device
Oct 3rd, 2011 at 1:00PM: Now more than ever, we all spend way too much time at our desks staring at computers. That means that we have less time for long walks, brisk jogs and other aerobic exercise. All of this leads to weight gain, diminishing health and lazy lifestyles. With winter just around the corner, exercising outdoors becomes more challenging. That means that we have to get more creative about how we find time ...SkyMall Monday: Anniversary Gifts
Sep 26th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Last week, my fiancée and I celebrated our two-year anniversary. We met and went out on our first date on the same day (I work fast). We're getting married next Spring, so we'll soon have a new anniversary to celebrate. Do we stop celebrating our initial anniversary date? Do we celebrate both anniversaries? How does that work? Anyway, it was obviously a festive week at SkyMall Monday ...SkyMall Monday: Travel Hangers
Sep 19th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Wrinkles are for Shar Peis and old people. They have no place on your clothing. If you show up to a meeting, formal function or even just a casual date looking like you slept in your clothes, people will think that you're homeless. Here at SkyMall Monday headquarters, we steam the clothes that we're wearing every hour. It keeps us looking fresh and professional throughout the day (and does wonders ...SkyMall Monday: InstaCloth & the horrible videos it inspires
Sep 12th, 2011 at 1:00PM: I've written about hundreds of SkyMall products and probably looked at thousands over the years. Lately, however, I've also been scouring YouTube for videos of the products. You see, I find video demonstrations of SkyMall products to be mesmerizingly awful. Never, though, have I been so enraptured by the videos for one product as I was this week while researching my next SkyMall Monday review. ...SkyMall Monday: Personal Infrared Sauna
Sep 5th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Ah, Labor Day. It's a day to honor the hard work of the people who make America strong and stuff the last few hot dogs of summer down our gullets. After months spent baking in the sun and indulging in fried items on sticks at state fairs, our skin is tight and our bodies are full of cheese. To properly cleanse ourselves, we could spend a fortune on a fancy spa treatment, but that's just a waste of ...SkyMall Monday: Top 5 products for hurricane season
Aug 29th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Here on the East Coast, Hurricane Irene made for quite the weekend. First, we braved the hordes of crazy people in the supermarket (no one needs that much peanut butter), then the torrential rains and, more than anything, the constant barrage of media hype. Thankfully, we're all safe and accounted for here at SkyMall Monday headquarters. However, we're now well aware that hurricane season is ...SkyMall Monday: Beamz Interactive Music System
Aug 22nd, 2011 at 2:30PM:
You simply don't hear very many people complaining about the lack of new instruments being invented. Basically, since we electrified the guitar, we've been set with all of the instruments that humanity needs. Granted, converting turntables from music players to music makers was pretty ingenious, but it wasn't necessarily the invention of an instrument. At this point, we're set for making ...
SkyMall Monday: Touchless Sensor Toilet Seats
Aug 15th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Once SkyMall Monday headquarters became a den of premarital cohabitation, I was forced to learn the fine art of leaving the toilet seat down. It seems that women urinate while seated and, should the seat be up when they attempt to sit, they can fall into the bowl. As refreshingly hilarious as that sounds, it turns out that they find getting their buttocks stuck in the toilet to be humiliating and ...SkyMall Monday: Magic Derriere Enhancing Panty vs. Clothing Shields
Aug 8th, 2011 at 1:00PM:
We all have our own body issues. For some, they wish they were thinner. For others, acne causes constant embarrassment. However, two issues stand out as the most traumatizing: small butts and excessive sweating. Flat-butted women have long suffered from Droopy Pants Complex, an affliction that has flummoxed scientists for minutes. Women who sweat are forced to hide their armpits under ...SkyMall Monday: You Go Girl!
Aug 1st, 2011 at 1:00PM: Going to the bathroom on planes is never pleasant. In fact, doing your business anywhere in public can be nerve-wracking. Many public restrooms smell unpleasant and are filthy. Beyond that, there's the embarrassment caused by the sounds emanating from our behinds and the ensuing odors created by the gastrointestinal festivities. There's nothing more awkward than emerging from the stall after a ...SkyMall Monday: SunCap Hat
Jul 25th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Sure, it's nice to look a little bronzed in the summer. Who doesn't enjoy being just a bit "sun-kissed" when they're showing off more skin in the hot weather? However, the sun is a fickle bitch-goddess and things can go from tan to burnt quicker than you can say SPF. It's always important to protect ourselves from the sun (which is why we've stopped using our foil reflector when we have our ...SkyMall Monday: Top 5 places to sleep with the Pillow Tie
Jul 11th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Life is full of boring events. Our parents, spouses and religious leaders constantly drag us to occasions that are beyond dull. With hundreds of cable channels, air conditioning and beer easily accessible in our own homes, why do we need to go anywhere? Heck, we can have all of that in our beds if we have a remote control cooler around! If it was up to me, I'd never leave SkyMall Monday ...SkyMall Monday: Remote Control Beverage Cooler
Jul 4th, 2011 at 1:30PM: Summer's here and it's time to kick back by the pool with some ice cold drinks. The problem with spending time outside, however, is that you end up far away from your refrigerator. How is one supposed to keep himself refreshed when all of the Zima is chilling in the kitchen (assuming, of course, that said kitchen is in Japan, where Zima is still produced)? You can't be expected to get up from your ...SkyMall Monday: Jeans Lounge Pants
Jun 27th, 2011 at 1:00PM: I've never understood people who relax in their homes while wearing jeans. First of all, denim is not all that comfortable. Second, most people don't wash their jeans frequently, meaning that they're wearing filthy clothes on their couches and beds. And third, in the summer, jeans just aren't breathable and it's expensive to run your air conditioner all the time. That's why I strip down to my ...SkyMall Monday: Top 5 things to crush with the Quick and Easy Pill Grinder
Jun 20th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Crushing things is hard (unless you have superhumanly strong hands). When it comes to pills, I've used everything from hammers to books to steamrollers to grind them into a fine powder for snorting sprinkling over my dog's food. Whether your dog (or child or spouse or guy you just met in an alley) is elderly, sick or just needs a good buzz, it's easier to get pills into his system if you crush ...
