Something has gotten to you, and now you want to buy a pair of antlers for your 1994 Saturn. Airplanes can be dangerous, so here's your chance to admire the products of Sky Mall in the safety and sobriety of sea-level thinking.

NoseAid
Fact: Putting a clothespin on your kid’s bloody nose is entirely uncouth. But when the clothespin is actually a $25 luxury item from Sky Mall, suddenly you’re a pioneer of new parenting hardware.

Start your own fancy clothespin company, and sell on consignment in Noe Valley. A $2.99 bag of pins and some tempera should have at least a 700% profit margin.

Autographed Soup Nazi Photo
The things I would do to get my hands on a list of the people who actually paid $199.95 for a signed photograph of actor, Larry Thomas in his “Soup Nazi” garb. I mean, sure, I’ve fallen for a pyramid scheme or two in my day, and I definitely bought a $60 potato peeler from an infomercial, but this sell trumps all!

Still doesn’t solve the height issue.

Midlife-Crisis Hair Visor
Do yourself a favor, and as a grounding meditation, close your eyes, picture your dad, and then mentally replace that old B-Town hat he’s wearing with this hedgehog visor. Now, have a beautiful day, at peace with, and delightedly in the glow of the universe.

Stomach-Sleeper Pillow
I had an ex-boyfriend who used to sleep like a bat in a coffin – arms crossed over chest. While this isn’t a trait I can say that I miss, I suppose it’s slightly more attractive than sleeping face-down into a giant hunk of foam. Someone could probably come in, play a round of Rock Band and rob the house while you’re immersed in your fancy pillow. On the bright side, I guess this product might be conducive to a quick Saturday morning getaway. . . You know. . . if you’re into that kind of thing.
