Snarking at Skymall

You may have noticed that there haven’t been any new snarks in a while. The problem is, I’ve switched accounts at work, and I’m no longer spending many hours on a plane every month. Indeed, I haven’t traveled for months. So I don’t have access to the latest Skymall catalog, nor do I have all that time with nothing to do but make fun of it.

This isn’t to say the blog is dead. I still think the Skymall catalog is hilarious. As soon as I’m back on an account that involves business travel, I’ll pick it back up. It’s just in hibernation until then.

Welcome to Snarking at Skymall!

I fly a lot for work. And like many frequently fliers, my attention occasionally turns to the “Skymall” catalog they put in every seat pocket.

There are some interesting items in there. There are some things that would make good gifts. And then there are the things that you would only buy if you were suffering from high-altitude oxygen deprivation, and had drunk a couple of in-flight cocktails to boot. This blog is dedicated to mocking those items.

This blog is inspired in part by the Comics Curmudgeon, although I can’t promise that I will be as funny as Josh is.

I’m going to update this blog whenever I feel like it, and it will depend to a large extent on my travel schedule. So the best thing to do is subscribe to the RSS feed.
