I think thegreenhead did a fine job of telling it like it is with these.

All I can add is that I've rarely had the experience of everyone at the BBQ knowing that a steak should be cooked "medium." Sigh. There are always at least one or two high-maintanence types who insist on going for the ends of the spectrum. These would help with those.

from thegreenhead.com:
It's barbeque season again and that means plenty of steaks searing on the grill. These cool new Miniature Steak Thermometers ($22) are the perfect solution when you find yourself cooking for multiple guests who all want their steaks done differently. From extra rare and juicy to well done and er, crunchy, this set of 4 mini steak thermometers will ensure everyone's steaks are accurately cooked to perfection.

Rimowa Silver Topas Luggage

Description

Your success in joining the Mile-High Club is only ensured with proper planning. It starts before you even leave the house.

Your goal? To intimidate the airline through good taste into looking away as you complete your mission. It's that simple. You want to be the cool kid, the one they want to like them. Thus ensuring they won't tattle on you.

So you need serious, ass-kicking luggage. The kind that, when you roll up with it, purrs "Gentlemen, there would be far too much paperwork involved for you in the opening of this case."

This isn't the good ol' days people. There was a time when you could saunter onto a plane with an open fifth of bourbon in your hand and a large spiral-sliced ham tucked under your arm. For starters. Now? An orifice does not exist where so much as a small bottle of water can find shelter.

So you must plan accordingly. This site helps you do just that. Not only does it list the available seats for your flight but it also uses color coding to show their proximity to such important locales as the Lavatory of Love. In addition, it identifies which seats recline only part-way and things like the location of power ports, should you have any non-battery powered accoutrements that need a quick charge.

Good stuff. It won't help you hide the water bottle but it will show you how many steps you have to stumble to the in-flight bar.

I'm guessing the purpose of this is for outdoor/pool play? I think it would also make an awesome food display stand for a party.
