The thing about the pocket fisherman was I could put it in a drawer in my work truck. Putting a rod and reel wasn't a good look at the office. I did buy a LL Bean backpack rod and reel was nicer, but it turned up missing.

I think the idea was that if you had a cool looking bottle you could turn it into a drinking glass or a vase or whatever. Yeah, it's kind of dumb but there are some cool looking liquor bottles that would be neat to repurpose. I had a couple of older relatives who were absolutely convinced that glass objects would someday be valuable because everything was starting to be manufactured out of plastic. Not even fancy stuff, just plain old glass. Needless to say, their kids had to throw away a ton of worthless glass junk when they died. |

Ron: Now some places sell items just like this for $150, and it's well worth it for everything it does. But you all know you're not going to pay $150 for this wonderful item. You're not even going to pay $125. Or $100. Not $90, not $80, not $70. This amazing item can be yours for just four... easy... payments... of $14.99!
(applause) (freeze frame) Voice of God: HOLD IT, RON! In this TV exclusive deal, they can get it for just THREE easy payments of $14.99! |
