Be it in your home, office, or to provide a quick laugh.

These particular ones, pulled from Sky Mall Catalog May 2009, are destined for a higher purpose.

But amid the pet beds, personalized umbrella covers and solar powered patio lights, there are gems.

When I'm stuck on the runway, I can't help but look through it. It's like 100 infomercials in print form. A cornucopia of curiosity. A new product freak show with price tags. A crapshoot filled with wonder, laughter and "WTF?"

Sky Mall is one of the greatest catalogs on the planet. Great, because of it's odd collection of stuff for sale.

Sky Mall Products Destined for Greatness



The Marshmallow Shooter

Thanks to Sky Mall, everyone can feel like John Dillinger. (Minus the body count.)

This pump action mechanism shoots delicious marshmallows all over the place. Just load, aim, fire and chew vigorously.

Great is delicious! And I cannot think of a better way to get shot....



....But I can think of a better way to have A shot.



Lil' chill shot



Here's the skinny: Pour an entire large bottle (750ml) of liquor into this machine. It'll hold it all. Then, very quickly, this shot pourer is "able to dispense your favorite liquor at below freezing temperatures."

And it fits on your counter. If you're a party person this is just great.



The Zombie of Montclair Moors Sculpture



Just look at this. Look at it.

A zombie coming from underneath your zinnias or rose bushes.

Zombies belong in a garden.

And if you don't have enough space for a real garden, then place it strategically in your local park and film people's reactions.

Only $89.95, it's a truly great conversation piece.



Digital camera swim mask



Video, digital, waterproof swim mask. So you can easily film your underwater adventures.

This records video and take pictures. The mask's eye pieces are made of tempered glass and have integrated crosshairs that allows you to line up your subject.

Light attachment optional (for the dark places) or your under sea porn shoot.

Yeah, it's neat and great.



Underwater Light Show and Fountain



For under $50 dollars your pool, pond or hot tub will sparkle as sprays of water dance above the surface while color-changing lights shimmer below.

Turns a good party, great.

Especially after a few round of the lil' chill shot.



Head Spa Massager



Personally, I think this one is headed for fame in a late night comedy sketch. Or maybe it'll serve as a design for first-generation cylon.

It's supposed to help soothe and clear your head, but it's hard to take anything that looks this funny seriously.

It's great...to laugh out loud.



Edge baking pan



Brownies. Cake. Rice Krispy Treats. Now every confection can have perfect edges.

Same goes for quick breads, cobblers and lasagna.

This pan also helps food cook more evenly, lowering the chance that the middle is cooked less than the outside.

I'm not fan of soggy cake so on a great scale, the Edge Baking Pan gets 4 Greats!



Floating Obstacle Course



You know those crazy Japanese game show obstacle courses?

Now you can own one.

The SplashTrax System is a youtube video hit, summertime fun and a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Admit it, some part of you wants to try it out, even though you know you'll end up in the water a quarter of the way through.



Stainless Steal Wallet



Here's something that looks like it can stop a bullet.

It can't, but it'll get your attention.

"Woven using 25,000 flexible stainless-steel threads that are three times thinner than a piece of paper--.001"--this is the only wallet with a hand as smooth as silk and the strength that surpasses leather."

Coolness is a form of greatness.



Bigfoot, Garden Yeti Sculpture.



Yeti's may never be found alive, but this one can live in your back yard or in the corner of your living room forever. I love that someone felt compelled to make and sell it.

What's not so great is the size. A little over 2 feet tall and only 19" wide? Yeti is a midget.

And that's the start of a great debate you can have while staring at it in your underbrush.



Deluxe USB turntable



So whatcha-whatcha-whatcha-want?

To take my 33s and 45s and put them on my iTunes.

Vinyl converted to digital faster than your can say scrrrrraatch.

This goes on my birthday wish list. My albums are tucked away in a box waiting to be transferred to digital.

As Tony would say "Grrrreat!"



BBQ branding iron



"Put a message in the meat your cooking."

I'm not exactly sure why you would want to brand your meat. But when did you ever need a reason to do anything.

With this device you can brand your food, or your best friend who passes out after too many fuzzy navels.

I am so getting one. Just let me just run this floating obstacle course, pour a chill shot and pulling money from my stainless steal wallet...

Net-Net: Stupid can be great.



Jumpin Jammerz



Adult Footed PJs?

Feel like a kid. Look like one too. And if that happens to be a turn on for your significant, more power to ya.

But the reason these are great is because they instantly turn you into Electric Man or Electric Woman. I'm all for the zapping power.



Neck Pro Traction Device



Good for your head. And a humane way to off yourself.

Sure, maybe it'll help soothe your neck and back pain. And if so, good for you.

But remember, don't let anyone open the door while you use it otherwise you'll be dead.

Great can be ridiculous.



Of course all these great products are available on Sky Mall website.
