You know how you get catalogues, some regular and occasionally from an outfit you never heard of or just maybe only at Christmas?
Well, of course, nobody is flying and the airlines are taking it in the ass.
But, you know that inflight magazine that has all the novelty stuff that you always find in the pouch in the seat in front of you?
Yesterday, I got an 80 page catalogue from Hammacher Schlemmer! Somebody must have sold my address? But, it makes sense, when you think about it. Nobody's flying so what is a gimmick company that gets all of their business from people that are flying on airplanes? They try to survive and buy lists from other companies.
Is anybody looking for an indestructible braided stainless steel garden hose for $150? Well, your search is over! They got it!

I get their catalog. Friend got me one of their jelly fish aquariums. But doubt I'd ever buy anything from them maybe some more plastic fish for the aquarium. But it's fun to look at all the over priced chit.

That's always been my impression, all their stuff is ridiculously overpriced. But seems like every business is in trouble. Called my barber....no answer? The line to get in Costco was like standing in line to ride The Matterhorn or Space Mountain.

They would wait till fifty left and let fifty in. they were spraying down the carts with disinfectant what a scene!
