All right, so Chad shared with you his love of The Swiss Colony catalog; I love it too, are those little mice still the mascots? As of late, I've been receiving a bunch of catalogs that were meant for previous tenants, which is fine, but the other day, two of these babies showed up.

First of all, why two copies? I thumbed through both and both have the exact same items, the covers are the only difference, it's a little odd. And yes, those are the exact same massage chairs. Come on!

The Sharper Image catalogs and stores typically have the same items, nose hair trimmers, various spa items, drones (the toy kind, wink!), fancy shower radios, alas I found a few head scratchers, not the literal kind, but they probably have those too.

Why lug a cooler around the links when you're thirsty? Take out your favorite driver, or putter, and slap a sock on The Golf Drink Dispenser. It holds 52 oz of your favorite hot OR cold beverage and keeps it hot or cold up to five hours! That's a good thing, but if you indulge too quickly, it could take five or more hours to get off the course. In other words, be more iced tea.

When I first looked at this, I was puzzled, then I realized it was exactly what I thought it was. For my grilling friends, presenting The Automatic BBQ Grill Cleaning Robot. A Roomba for your grill, who knew? And it comes in four colors! Brass wire brushes are specifically designed to protect your grill coating while also maintaining flavor. I'll bet Bobby Flay owns all four colors.

"Wash Your Air With Regular Tap Water." Now this looks like something I could get into. This means no buying filters or scented refills, although the ad says you can add your favorite scented oil to the water. Who knew regular tap water could freshen the air? Oh and you can "flip on the tranquil blue mood light to create a calming ambiance", not a bad deal.

Oh, now we're talking! Seriously, I would love to have this Rock N Roll Electronic Drum Mat, but why are the sticks so big? And is that a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter. It only requires 4 AA batteries. Dreams do come true.

And finally some borderline nightmare fuel, the Smartphone Talking Monkey. Plug Bubbles here into your smartphone with the speaker on and he will move his mouth and his body (HUH?!?) in sync with the person speaking (or breathing!) on the other end. Oh and he will also sing along to your favorite tunes via your mp3 player/library. If you want to see this nightmare in motion, click here, if you dare.

I'll share some other good catalogs in a future blog, Happy Holidays!
