SkyMall Quiz: Eight Flavors of Crazy Crap

I dropped my mom off at the airport this morning, which puts me in mind to offer this little quiz: when I went to visit her in florida a month or so ago, I checked out SkyMall magazine and found some damn weird crap for sale.  Your challenge: which of the following actually are for sale on airplanes, and which exist only in the poisoned precincts of my twisted mind? 

* Fetchers - Dog Shoes to the Stars
* Pool/Hottub Media Sheath to keep newspapers or magazines dry and readable
* Preformed Artificial Recycled Auto-Tire Mulch Garden Borders
* Combination Periodontal Lip Exercise Tool and Tooth Whitener
* Personalized Branding Iron for backyard grilling (or, presumably, home bondage fantasies)
* Home Piercing Kit with lobe, navel, nipple, and reproductive zone attachments (tongue not included)
* Easter Island Moai Head Tissue Dispenser
* The Automojito

Press your “esc” key if you need a flight attendant to assist you.  If you’re sitting with a child, do your own quiz first, and then assist the child.  Please be careful when opening comments, as contents may have shifted during transit.  This quiz can be used as a flotation device.  Happy landings.

I gotta go with the Home Piercing Kit; although I do hope I’m wrong because it sounds as though it may reduce our population by a few morons!

Ok, I’ll fess up.....  Years ago, my natural lack of eyebrow hair and puny eyelashes induced me to make this purchase: http://www.skymall.com/webapp/skystore?process=prodDisplay&action=zoom&pid=101906199&iscrssl=&catId=10625
And NO, I did not think it worked!!

Here’s my votes on the fake items:

Home Piercing Kit

And after reading back through that list and also agreeing they sell weird crap in those mags, that’s my only guess.

Too easy for me - I have the whole SkyMall catalog memorized. (I bought the Sonic Boom Alarm Clock from SkyMall - it’s a beaut.)

love that magazine!  i recognize most of those so i too have to go with the Home Piercing Kit.

I’m gonna vote for two things:

One, the Dog Shoes to the Stars (cause I really can’t figure out what that may be) and two, the automojito. I actually think I’ve heard of all the rest of the stuff. But then again, I hear voices in my head. BWA-HA-HA.
