arrr…Hamma a pirate!…and I want that!
For 175 years Hammacher Schlemmer has been selling unusual merchandise – typically cool but useless gifts. I occasionally look at their catalog and find myself acting like my kids… “I want that! I want that!! I want that!!! I want that!!!!”
I’ve never been able to justify buying anything – and arguably this sort of consumerism is destroying the planet. But – it’s still fun!
…and so… because it’s Sunday – here’s my favourite HS new product – a $330.USD remote control 4 foot long pirate ship!
Faithfully detailed to resemble an 18th century merchant vessel, this remote-controlled pirate ship has sails that hoist, a retractable plank, and 12 cannons.
…and it has a range of 500 feet…
Do you think civilization (as we know it) is in danger of collapsing? I hope not – otherwise there’s a cannonball with your name on it!! (ok – its a small plastic cannonball…)
BTW – only four and a half months until “Talk Like a Pirate Day”!!!
