Amusement on a Long Flight Alone

by Norman Berdichevsky (January 2014)

In spite of all the hype, Bigfoot appears to have a rather benign expression and unlikely to scare anyone so I think most horror fans would be much better off with any one of a dozen dinosaur-like statues or just a moving alligator replica if they really would like to scare the neighbors in Florida where I live. In the course of just under half an hour I began to find items that actually did amaze, delight and intrigue me so I kept the catalogue and took it home with me, bent on doing more serious research although chastened by my experience as a pre-teenager that apart from the bathtub submarine which I really liked, anything ordered through the mail was a disappointment and fell far short of the attractive ads.

Well, I consider the many hours spent reviewing the Sky Mall entertaining, educational, and a practical solution to what to do when all alone on a long flight without the usual time-killing aids but as you can imagine, it is only good for one time only (or until the next issue when American ingenuity is bound to come up with ever more imaginative and wonderful products).
