I've bought a few things that are advertised in SkyMall but purchase them cheaper through other online stores. For example I recently bought a couple of bluetooth speakerphones for our cars from Walmart on-line that I saw in SkyMall a few months ago.

I nearly bought a gadget that said it would keep your iPod charged using your on-board radio. I was skeptical of its claim, though. When I told folks about it here, they recommended an iPod gadget which extends the life with some AA batteries. That sounded great to me and I bought it on Amazon. Now I can watch movies for hours!!

y'know, that's the one thing that I am curious about. Yes, the guy looks like a dork and I am sure that so would I if I were acquiring and using one -- but I do recognize that in Y, I just don't manage to sleep "on my back" (inclined seat or otherwise) and it just *might* work out to be comfy....
....of course, steering clear of Y altogether for long-hauls is clearly my preference

Maybe this should be a new thread - first FT'er to spot one in use should announce it!

Nothing could express one's exquisite taste for the finer things in life than Basho The Sumo Wrestler, available in both sculpture and table.

What do I win?
Speaking of skymall, nothing cracks me up more than when I see that silly inflatable pillow you can buy to rest your head on as it goes onto the tray in front of you. You know the one I'm talking about--the one with the cheesy looking guy with the Hawaiian shirt on? Has anyone ever seen one of these on board? I would laugh my $ss off if I did.
