IN the marshmallow shooters defense, it IS a ton of fun. For grown men who need to behave like children. Not that my BROTHERS or HUSBAND would ever do such a thing. No siree.
I don’t want it under my tree, but the attic baffle is really useful. However, have you ever done 100 sit ups? I try not to, but you can totally do them in less than 3 minutes. Why do I need that crazy ass contraption?
–>The gift of alcoholism is something I defer to for the person who has everything all the time. Sometimes even for the person who has nothing.
I can barely manage the crossword puzzle in the back of People.

The Orbitwheels remind me of a BC comic strip.
Ohh, I love the games that lock in the gift cards! Evil stepmother that I am. Hell, I may even use it on the five year old’s pocket polly. {insert mean cackle laugh here} Hehehehehehe
I would never have marshmallows all over the house, greedy dogs would gobble them up as soon as they hit the floor.
Gosh, I hope these aren’t all sold out already! Must hurry!
The leg lamp from The Christmas Story! I’ve actually wanted to give that to someone!
I am a little freaked out at the woman trying to get out of Jeffrey Dahmer’s basement
Holy Crap! I’m rolling!!! That Feng Shui remote has me very confused though.
I googled the orbitwheels and, it’s as I suspected – you can only go sideways. Who thought that was a good idea?
The floor lamp reminded me of Bossy in her little black dress, but not as thin.
My family regularly gives each other alcohol for Christmas. When in doubt, give ’em booze. This actually explains a lot about us.
I turn to the Sky Mall thingy when my travel book is too boring and the flight is too long. I always intend to snicker and sneer — and there are plenty of snicker-worthy objects, even without Bossycommentary — but end up finding something I had no idea that sort of thing existed but what a good idea.
None that Bossy has pointed out here, though.
I have a remote-control tarantula in my laundry room at this very moment! It was a birthday gift years ago from a well-meaning (???) relative for one of my children that I really should have taken to Goodwill as soon as it was opened, but I keep thinking I will use it one April 1st. Unfortunately, I never remember that it’s there until I clear out the laundry room every fall. Sad but true.
My darling, then eight-year old, daughter asked for a remote controlled tarantula for Christmas last year. Santa got her one at Target because he is nice like that. (She and her sister are always trying to sneak it up on me, but the cat gets to it first) Thank you, cat. Also, the controller part is the spider’s EGG SACK. (GROSS)
You laugh, but I had a friend who after a few too many cocktails ordered numerous items from the Sky Mall. Imagine my suprise when a Sock Monkey Remote Control Holder showed up at my door. Another friend received a donut fryer!!! She tired of shopping by the time she reached the “C”s in her contacts list…that or her credit card maxed out!
I’m shocked that Thomas Kincade, painter of light is not brightening the Sky Mall with his glittery wares.
….and I’m pretty sure that spending 200$ on remote Feng Shui is not Feng Shui either! Love these! Thanks for the giggle this morning. Even if I had more money than God, I think I could find better things to waste it on…..
Crosswords. Gross. On the other hand, sleepy Scrabble. Yes!
The tarantula is on my Xmas list.
Meg – The Painter of Light is now light in the bank account, having filed for bankruptcy.
Drape the Majic Cleaning Rag over the Remote Control Tarantula and send it under the couch, behind the fridge, under the bed and all those other hard-to-get-to-and-clean places. Totally practical! And you can park it in the Handy Accessory Basket at the base of the Floor-to-Ceiling Shoe Tree when not being used for daily housecleaning chores.
And the Feng Shui meter? Now that just might be a rip-off.
Need more info about the piano-playing mouse please: how can I decide to buy it if I don’t know size/ price/ what songs does it play/ does Jessica Mouse do anything but just sit there?
Amanda, could I please have your Sock Monkey remote control holder?
Marshmallow gun looks fun, outdoors. Pam, the stylist I wish could have moved with me, asked her father for the coffee table aquarium one Christmas — ordered from Sky Mall. She loved it.
I am all for giving and receiving the gift of alcoholism. And, um, I almost hate to admit this, but I have that leglamp. And, I love it.
Rock Fountain Collector = Mosquito Birthing Center. Otherwise, one of everything, please. No wait — two.
The tarantula was used as a gag in a recent episode of Outsourced. I have a friend who has the Leg Lamp
the puzzle gift card holders—totally fun for the youngsters! make them work for it.
I WANT the giant crossword puzzle.
Bossy said Steve Martin in The Jerk. I love Bossy. And Steve Martin.
Bossy, this post CRACKED ME UP!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahahaha!!! I love it. The lamp was creepy. It seems like a woman in some sort of weird bondage get up – not at all what I would want in my house but something I might give someone I hate 😛
I read the same skymall catalogue just the other day.
Remember the Tarantula well.
Wondered the same thing about the Feng Shui meter.
As for the leg lamp, I saw one while shopping a few weeks ago and wished I’d had someone to buy it for.
