Flew back from New Jersey last night, and was actually reduced to reading the Sky Mall catalog. (“Take a copy home with you, we’ll replenish our stockpile when we land!”)
How pathetic must one be to buy something from that outfit? Is there a big overlap between Sky Mall shoppers and people who buy things from telemarketers?
I especially liked the Vintage Express Aging Accelerator. Check it out on their website: http://www.skymall.com/webapp/skystore?process=prodSrch&action=
My name is direwolf and I’m a pathetic SkyMall customer.
Hi, direwolf.
I must confess that I once bought something from SkyMall (2 types of Bongo balance boards) - and I’m super-happy with it. Their price was as good as anything I found on the web. Highly recommended product, especially for recovery from knee or ankle injury: http://www.skymall.com/webapp/skystore?process=prodDisplay&action=&pid=102094732&catId=10630

The Sky Mall is the highlight of every flight I take. I’ve never actually purchased though.
Admit it though, you know you want one of these for $400

Only $400?! I WUZ ROBBED! 
The other standout Sky Mall item was the combo golf putter/fishing reel. Never walk to retrieve your golf ball again! I couldn’t tell if it was meant ironically or not.

…and how much would you pay for the sword he’s holding?
We get a cut on everything our passengers buy out of the Sky Mall, if they use a promotion or airline code or something like that. They pay us to stock the magazines on the planes. In fact, I’m looking at two pallets of them, right now ;-))
I love leafing through the new ones. They remind me of those Sharper Image catalogs.
But wait there’s more!
We’ll throw in Galadriel’s ring as well… now how much would you pay???
My ma bought me a gift once from that Magazine. A silver coffee scoop-spoon type. With my initials engraved. Unfortunately, she got the initials wrong. We joke about that.
Growing up a NWA kid. I always remember liking to look through them. Just not two pallets worth.

Are we talking Northwest Airlines, or Straight Outta Compton here?
haha! Northwest Airlines. I’m a 6’4" Swede-wegian. The closest I come to Compton is the occasion Dre video.
But that does remind me of a time once when on vacation in LA, my dad got off at the wrong exit while trying to find LAX. In our free airline-employee upgrade Lincoln Town Car.
I was in Comp-town just a few days ago. Then I got straight outta there.
I loved it when I flew on NWA flight 187 this summer (Minneapolis to San Diego.) That was awesome.
Why do you have a link on Tibbs’ name to an article on about.com combat controllers?
I’m paying a little tribute to a large part of my man’s past.
