Hearing My kid making weird noises in the next room. She's up!
Are You Getting Enough Oxygen?
All right. As a longtime fan of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, I can admit I want the Space Ghost Desk and Chair for Christmas, complete with personalized leather chair and everything. But for $40,000? Come on. This makes me suspicious that Cartoon Network, which offers the piece, isn't entirely serious about providing one, should someone decide it must be had. This is also why I suspect the price the Dexter's Laboratory and Powerpuff Girls bedrooms at $100,000, and the Kids Next Door treehouse at a cool million. Think about it: if the treehouse really cost a million dollars, how would the Kids Next Door possibly afford it? They're freakish ragamuffins.
Needless to say, all these objects are out of my price range. But should one of you people with more money than sense make a purchase, you'll need to tell me if they really follow through. I need to know. In the meantime, I'm going to talk to the kids at the local high school about throwing together a Space Ghost desk in the school's metal shop. Sure, it'll be dangerous and have jagged, tetanus-inducing edges. But that's what makes it fun.

At the end of the treehouse page, they say that they will only build one treehouse. So I think that they're serious, since it'd be great PR, they'd get a million dollars, and they'd only have to do it once.

Considering that the picture of the desk (and of the two bedrooms) are computer generated (and badly at that), I think it's safe to say it's a joke. I don't even think there's an actual "order here" button on the page, either, is there?
