    Disco Hammock; Party in the Trees!

    Came across this sparkly silver hammock, supposedly made of the most rare element disconium. Eno and a clothing company called Betabrand have joined forces to come up with this idea. This one won't make the stealth pack out, but it looks very cool.

    TBH, it seems kind of overpriced. Also, it might be hard on your eyes if you lounge in it in the day time.

    I'm a little bit of a skeptic, to say the least.

    I'm pretty certain that's a marketing tactic. (Confirmed by other craziness in marketing).

    Oh man! I totally want one!

    A disconium hammock would be the perfect thing for recovering after a long day of riding a Mervin Manufacturing quartz fiber snowboard!

    If it wasn't priced so high I would buy one for fun.

    Silly idea but all products have a market.

    Turn it inside and maybe it is more relevant, the "disconium" might help reflect body heat as claimed by the Columbia Omni Heat products.
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
