We are selling kitsch items here for use in commemorating unimportant events in our lives. Feel free to suggest new stock we should acquire. So far, our catalog includes:
1. The "mackillian" foam finger --I-- to commemorate mack's latest landmark achieved, or her book publication, or just because we like her spunky attitude about something.
2. The gay marriage kit consisting of a legally void marriage contract, two gowns or two tuxedos (you choose model A or B) and a handful of Minute Rice. Use it whenever the day at Hatrack has become too conventional.
3. The Newbie Guide to Hatrack Hygeine Self explanatory. Should be on every bookshelf or coffee table.
4. The God you Say/It's Sacrilicious coffee mug. One side has a witty but slighly off kilter saying about God, the other has important instructions on what to do in the event of a smiting. The life you save may be your own.
5. The <insert here> multipurpose tool. It has more blades than a bad Errol Flynn movie. There are also widgets and doodads galore. Every thing you need to help you insert things into other things in a generic sort of way.

Amka...that was the point. Minute rice...it's against nature. The stuff is parboiled to no longer resemble rice as God intended it. And it kills birds...
Oh well...
It's a stretch, but there was a joke in there. I promise.
So, what other products should we sell?

Perhaps if we through grits at weddings we can kill a few birds. If ants eat some grits they die, not that birds really have any relationship with ants.

Bob I was thinking you should send some of your "sacrilicous" commments to Readers Digest. This months issue had a bunch that were soooooooo old and lame and un-Bob and been around on e-mail forever. And they paid the guy that submitted them at least $100 too.
The Icarus Mood Ring: Lets other posters know what kind of mood you are in, so they are not blindsided by your sudden shifts. Feeling sensitive today? Are you being snarky or serious? If people can't always tell when to take you seriously, or when to avoid you altogether, you need one of these!

The Ice-cream flavor choice compatibility chart for couples -- a high quality poster-size chart showing the best (and worst) choices for you in a mate based on your mutual love for particular ice cream flavors. This one covers the basics. For more advanced study, we recommend:
The Ice-cream Personality Profile Analytic Software Package. It's a multi-disc system with lookup tables covering flavor, toppings, types of container and even the preferred hardness at time of ingestion. A special feature allows you to input the choices of two (or more) people to determine their strengths and weaknesses as a couple. Expensive, but worth it.

The Hatrack Movie Guide The first chapter is taken up with wild speculation about the script, casting and actual shooting date of "Ender's Game." Other chapters are devoted to Star Trek Movies (separate chapters for the odd and even numbered ones), Mel Gibson's Passion, movies to be made of cancelled television series and the fruitless hunt for "It doesn't do anything. That's the beauty of it."

Bob, how about a troll detection sword. It would start glowing when there are trolls nearby the way Frodo's sword glowed when orcs were nearby. The sword could then be used to dispatch said trolls from Hatrack.
