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 ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

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 ...SkyMall Monday: Product Video Edition
Jun 13th, 2011 at 1:00PM: I've been writing SkyMall Monday since October 13, 2008. That's two-and-a-half years of reviewing SkyMall products. In that time, I've written over 130 SkyMall Monday posts. I've gotten to know a few people at SkyMall, but I am in no way, shape or form affiliated with the company. However, I think the time as come for me to take on a roll within SkyMall. This would not be for my own benefit, ...SkyMall Monday: Talking Hand Exerciser
Jun 6th, 2011 at 1:00PM: I hate working out. I'm not proud of that and, despite my aversion to exercise, I do engage in quite a bit of it. I enjoy long bike rides, hiking and getting caught in the rain. That said, staying fit can be tedious. Perhaps that's because exercise equipment is so dull. Treadmills? Without outdoor scenery, running is the fitness equivalent of watching paint dry. Plus, they confuse cats. Elliptical ...SkyMall Monday: Mombasa the Garden Giraffe vs. Boris the Bronotosaurus
May 30th, 2011 at 1:00PM:
Here at SkyMall Monday, we love lawn ornaments. By now, you should know about our affinity for the Garden Yeti, his baking abilities and incredibly high threshold for pain. This week, however, we take a look at the two biggest beasts offered up in SkyMall. Rather than litter your lawn an army of tiny Garden Gnomes, it's time that you allowed your yard to be dominated with a true giant. So, ...SkyMall Monday: Nuclear Globe
May 23rd, 2011 at 1:00PM: Since the Cold War, we have lived in fear of nuclear war. Nuclear disasters from Chernobyl to the recent events in Japan have showed the force and dangers of nuclear power. But, what if I told you that something nuclear could also be fun? While we don't power SkyMall Monday headquarters with fusion, we do appreciate a good nuclear device. With summer just around the corner, we were thrilled to ...SkyMall Monday: Hangin' Around Henrietta
May 16th, 2011 at 1:00PM: We all get lonely sometimes. Maybe you're an only child with no one to invite to your tea party. Perhaps you're an elderly widow who's no longer able to attend the bridge games that used to fill your days. Or you could just be a serial killer biding your time in your seemingly innocuous suburban home, waiting for just the right moment when you show the world that you're worth everyone's attention. ...SkyMall Monday: Towel Origami Book
May 9th, 2011 at 1:00PM: As we march deeper into the 21st century, technology will only become a greater force in our lives. From the internet to mobile devices to the near-imminent arrival of jet packs, innovation will continue to push us forward. The flip side, however, is that we will lose more and more of our old ways. As older generations pass on, many of our old ways will be forgotten. Here at SkyMall Monday ...SkyMall Monday: Five Stones Ring
May 2nd, 2011 at 1:00PM: There was big news out of SkyMall Monday headquarters this weekend. I got engaged! As you can imagine, we're pretty thrilled. As you might also imagine, there's been a lot of talk about rings. I was fortunate enough to be able to give my fiancée my great-grandmother's ring. It saved me the agony of having to shop for jewelry (and, yes, also a lot of money). Ring shopping is tough. It's ...SkyMall Monday: USB Cup Warmer
Apr 25th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Is coffee part of your morning routine? Do you need coffee to wake up in the morning? Do you tell people not to talk to you until you've had your third cup of coffee? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you most certainly have a caffeine addiction. Don't worry, I'm not judging. I don't drink coffee, but most of my friends do. I'm used to them making me stop at coffee shops with them ...SkyMall Monday: Microwave cookware makes nuking easy
Apr 18th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Many people are intimidated by cooking. They worry that it's too difficult - or that they are too inept - to produce an edible meal. "The only thing I know how to make is cereal," people will say. Well, as much as bowls of Cap'n Crunch helped me get through my freshman year of college, you cannot live on cereal alone. However, if you truly are that bad of a cook (or, if your overprotective mother ...
