Service for contacting the dead. Terminally ill patients memorize messages and deliver them when opportunity permits.
In a perfect world, you wouldn't have to lie to your wife/boss/parents about your whereabouts Friday night. In an imperfect world, these guys have your back.

Members create and track lists of things they want to achieve before they die.
Drive-through strip joint.
Runs events at which adults "explore communication, boundaries, and affection" by donning pajamas and getting physical. Ix-nay on the naughty stuff.

Creates pregnancy announcements that purportedly come from the womb.
Video-game-coaching services. Offers "world-class instruction" in Halo 2.

The Proustian madeleine of natural lighting. Travel down memory lane with scents such as pancake and dryer sheet.
Buys and sells engagement rings for that magical time when one or both members of the couple come to their senses.
Sells plastic wishbones. Because turkeys have only one.

A large tumbleweed goes for $25, which sounds about right.
Sells animal mannequins (that's one of them above, skydiving) for veterinary training and pet owners wishing to practice "mouth-to-snout resuscitation."
Massages are for wimps. At Sarah's, the seriously stressed take out their frustration on innocent dinnerware.
It's ammunition and a taste sensation in one! Why fill tonight's dinner with buckshot when you can shoot it with a biodegradable pellet packed with lemon pepper, honey mustard, and other yummy flavors?
Hotwicks Candles of Portland, Oregon
Apparently, they can make candles that smell like anything.
(In case you can't read the labels, they say Beer, Fresh Bread, and Man. Yes, there is a Man scented candle. I do not want to know...)
Have a wonderful weekend.
