...hammacher schlemmer..."Offering the Best, the Only and the Unexpected for 161 years."...i discovered this treasure trove of 'the best, the only, and the unexpected' over 20 years ago, thankfully before computers were the rage, or internet was rolling along...i say thankfully, because going to their website, while it may show and describe items, is not nearly as amazing as looking through their catalogues, which they will gladly mail out, even to my little corner of the world...a lot of their stuff is outrageous and over the top...who would buy that? who can afford that?....like "the junior 35 mph 2/3 scale corvette" $32,000 or "the her majesty the queen's rocking horse" $15,000 or "the 13 mph ridable cooler" $499.95 yes, three wheeled electric RIDABLE cooler!...
...but to me some stuff is so kickass and they carry a lot of items to assist with medical conditions...from "the authentic james t. kirk captain's chair" at $2,900 to "arthritis pain relieving gloves" at $49.95...other notable items..."the telekinetic obstacle course" $99.95 ~ "the bottle of wine glass" $24.95 holds a whole bottle so makes a great gift for the lush in your life ~ "the marshmallow shooter" $24.95 yes, it shoots marshmallows, admit it, you've always wanted one ~ "the personal oxygen bar" $299.95 ~ "the ferrari xx pedal car" $3000, carries up to 300lbs. ~ "the animatronic singing and talking elvis" only $129.95! it's tempting ~ "the world's largest crossword puzzle 7' by 7' " $29.95 ~ "the best nose hair trimmer" $24.95 a liitle too personal of a gift in my litle corner of the world ~ "the undercover cat teaser" $29.95 i was married to one of these for 10 years!...
...and "the upside down tomato garden" $79.95 ...i tried growing my regular tomato plants upside down and they decided to bend in half and grow towards the sun...maybe you need australian tomato plants to grow down under...i knew of 'some kids' who told their great auntie nonie that the marijuana plants on the patio were australian tomato plants, to which 87 year old auntie nonie replied, "they look just like marijuana!"...sucks to be lulu no, i mean sucks to be 'some kids'...
