Things You Probably Don't Need, #1

I was traveling last weekend and killed some of the flight by perusing the ever-fascinating SkyMall magazine. This, in turn, inspired me to start a new line of posts - Things You Probably Don't Need. And you might disagree with me on some of the items, but you'll see what I mean, at any rate. For instance, even the most hard-core Elvis fan probably doesn't need this:



It's an animatronic Elvis that sings and talks to you. He sings eight songs and recites 37 monologues recorded from various interviews The King gave.

Even better - you can plug a microphone into Elvis and sing along with him, or plug your iPod into him to play other music through his speakers! I'd love to hear Elvis blasting some Snoop Dogg.

He's all yours for the low price of $199.

'Hey pretty mama, I like it but I'm dead...uh huh

I'm still saving up for the Bug sucker I saw on my last trip. I think you should be able to use all those 'super useful' airline miles to buy all that 'great and useful' stuff from the catalog.

Sharper Image actually had this at their store in the mall. Not only does this freakazoid talk and sing, but you can perform as Elvis via karaoke. As you sing, the King mouths your words, snarls his lip, etc.

@ Samantha...

It DOES kinda like like a 1000 local Elvis impersonators, though. So that must count for something. There's a guy around central PA who has been doing Elvis for 30 years. It kinda looks like HIM, back when he first started. And he NEVER really looked much like Elvis.

@Brittany...

But then, where does the blog put itself? Should we expect a double-Escherian/triple-sided Reimannian implosion of the Intartubes?
