Things You Probably Don't Need, #2 - Neatorama

I mean, maybe you need a replica of King Tut's throne to mark your alpha-dog spot at the dining room table. It's only $895. And if you order two (the holiday season is just around the corner, people!), they are only $875 each.

Brittany, the Neatorama reader who suggested Design Toscano for our new Things You Probably Don't Need feature, was dead on: you probably don't need anything from Design Toscano. But it's definitely entertaining!

ted, you're sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

I just received a catalog from them for the first time, which has me wondering what company sold them my information.

It is the most entertaining, WTF catalog I have ever received.

These are just egreious examples of things you don't need. I'm sure you could find plenty of things in your daily life that you don't really need.

Actually, I purchased their skeleton wall clock. (it's the guts of a grandfather clock sans cabinet) I love it. it is visually stunning and it is functional. Other than that, everything else, to me, is pretty much useless

Very shrewd PR effort by McDonald's! Probably worth pointing out that there have been issues with use of antibiotics, gestation crates, etc., in the process of what brings that meat to the processing plant. In fairness to McDonald's, gestation crates are being phased out -- they're already illegal in some places. Additionally, you get a hearty helping of sodium in a McRib. Just trying to bring some balance to the PR.

I once read a discussion comment on the McRib in which it was called "The Brigadoon of Sandwiches". I love that term!

The audio/CC for the video doesn't work where I am at the moment. While there are some possibly legit complaints about modern processed meat, I do see a few too many reactions that amount to more baseless disgust. What is especially sad is when it comes from chefs that complain about the scrap meats and bones being used in some processed goods, but still use stocks and offal made from the same animal parts.
