"The Best of the Worst of Skymall"

That almost seems to imply that there is a Best of the Best of Skymall as well, which I find hard to believe...

@admoseremic: I was using mywoot.net, and what killed me was Woot's servers. That, and since I was using IE and Firefox, IE was faster, but it didn't auto enter my Paypal code, so I got an order error after hitting the big yellow button, and that slowed me down enough to sell out before I bought. But I will try this for next weeks Woot!Off.

Looking at the link, I think the Pet Observation Dome is fanfuggingtastic! I wish the neighbor with the little shaved-rat yippy dog would get one of these, so I could punch in the dome like a demo-speaker tweater at Bestbuy. Take that Yippy dog!

If someone can seriously explain how a magnetic field can age a drink, I will concede my baffle-ment. I mean, how does it age 10 years in ten seconds, but to go 20 years, you need three minutes? Should it be 180 years by then? Does it work on cigars? And this is the best part:

Guaranteed to work 24/7 for 100 years.
So if in 90 years, it stops aging your wine, then you can return it? How do they know it only works for 100 years? Did they test it?

Considering it only took an hour to reach 100 years, testing wasn't much of a problem.

@admoseremic: I'm sorry. You're absolutely right. The magical sense of wonderment that the late Doug Hennings bestowed upon his audience merits the [blink] tag all the time. It was foolish of me to omit it.

For those of you not familiar with Doug Henning, he was a television magician in the late Seventies. I have fond memories of his appearance on The Muppet Show.

Here is what the Wikipedia has to say about him:

Shortly after college, Henning was awarded a Canada Council for the Arts grant.[1] The terms of the grant required Henning to study magic. He did so, travelling to view firsthand the talents of magic greats like Slydini and Dai Vernon.

With the intention of returning magic to its "glory days", Henning worked to perfect his craft. Garnering financial support, he developed a live theatrical show: Spellbound, directed by Ivan Reitman, with music by Howard Shore and co-starring actress Jennifer Dale, a musical that combined an intense storyline and Henning's magic tricks. The show opened in Toronto and broke box office ticket records in that city. Henning reworked his show after catching the attention of New York producers, and took it to Broadway as The Magic Show, with songs composed by Stephen Schwartz. Debuting in 1974, the show ran for four and a half years earning Henning a Tony Award nomination.

Following his Broadway success, Henning was approached by NBC to produce a television special. He spent the next eight months reworking his act for television. Debuting in December 1975, Doug Henning's World of Magic captured the attention of more than 50 million viewers. For the following seven years, Doug Henning continued his once-a-year broadcasts,[2] ultimately receiving seven Emmy nominations.

Henning relocated to Los Angeles, California in 1976, and created his own production company. He would later create stage effects for music videos and concerts performed by musicians such as Earth, Wind and Fire and Michael Jackson.

One of Henning's greatest strengths was presentation: His natural exuberance and his colorful costumes and props could make very old illusions seem new, and make simple tricks seem like miracles.

His "Zig Zag" illusion is housed at the American Museum of Magic.

Henning divorced Barbara De Angelis in 1981, and married Debby Douillard in Fairfield, Iowa in December of that year.[3] A talented artist herself, Douillard spent much of her married life accompanying her husband on tour, co-starring on stage, and helping to design sets and costumes.

In 1983, Henning was the producer and star of a short-lived Broadway musical called Merlin, based on the character from Arthurian legend. Henning's role was spoofed in an Animaniacs sketch, "Sir Yaksalot".

I was not aware of this, but Doug Henning graduated from McMaster University with a degree in psychology.

I hope that this makes up for my earlier lack of the [blink] tag.

@OMG! Ponies!: If only the internets would have some kind of text you could set up so that way when you want people to go visit a site, you could make a short text that they can click on and it will take them there, instead of having to copy all the text into one long comment. They could call it a hyperlink, or something.

*sigh* Maybe someday someone will come up with a way...

All of SkyMall is the worst of SkyMall.

In fact, given a choice between SkyMall and SkyNet, I'll take SkyNet any day of the week and twice on Tuesdays.

I have an uncle with a hunting truck with the windows "rack." He loves driving around in that stupid thing. And yes, there is a gun rack in the window, but thankfully no nascar stickers or Rebel Flags.
