I miss getting on a plane and reading Skymall to see what batshit crazy stuff they had to sell. Anyone else?

I loved that stuff but never got to buy anything really. Probably for the best it was all junk in the end. Stuff that looked cool but you didn't need any of it really.

I did have one of their CD players that had cool blue lights and a motorized door that opened down. That thing was pretty wicked. I remember I didn’t have the remote for it for some reason, so I casually stole one from the display model at the sharper image store in the mall.

But I felt like I needed ALL of it. of course couldn't afford any of it.

And for all the people like me who wanted all that fun stuff, there were probably some people out there who COULD afford all of it.
