Hearing Something That You Said

Things That Make Your Credit Card Moan in Ecstasy


My consumer muscle in my brain is getting a cramp -- in a good way -- looking at these  design award-winning doodads. No, I don't need a $3,500 home winery -- I don't even drink wine -- but that doesn't mean I don't want it. Chateau Scalzi has a nice ring to it. I'd probably have too much fun with this, too. It's a genuine cat terrifier, it is.

See anything you like here?

    Well, the whimpering sound that I spontaneously emitted when I saw the upscale prefab home didn't come from my credit card. It was a visceral response to an upwelling of pure, and likely forever unrequited, aesthetic lust.

    You could put all those Scalzi wines from Australia in it. I mean, you gotta store it someplace.
