[manasecret]

Woot.com just started a Woot-off at midnight!

Here's the theme song to get you excited --



I'll post what I buy. I almost picked up one of those super-duper-flashlights for $20, but it sold out too quickly. Drats.

Lit E-Brite

Clarence? Hello? Is that you? Why are all the lights off? I can’t see anythOOF—CLARENCE, DID YOU MOVE THE FURNITURE AGAIN? Cheese ‘n’ crackers, Clare, I swear, if you… hello?

Clarence? Is that you?

Clarence, I know it’s you. Turn the lights on. Clarence, turn the lights on. Clarence.

Clarence? Clarence, I can hear you breathing. OK, ha, ha, very funny, now turn the lights on.

Alright, fine, I’ll turn them—where’s the—Clarence, where did you put the lamp? For crying out loud, Clarence, I just got home and I have to go to the bathroom, and this stupid prank is getting less and less funny by the second, OK, so just turn the goddaAAGHH DON’T TOUCH ME!

CLARENCE, THAT’S NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT FUNNY, DON’T GRAB AT SOMEONE IN THE DARK LIKE THAT, JEEZE! JUST —alright, just turn the lights on already.

Clarence?

Clarence, I am not even screwing around anymore. I’m going to count to three, and you better have the stinking lights on before I count to three, or I swear I’ll give you a beating. One. Two. Three, OK, turn them on. CLARENCE, TURN THE LIGHTS ON.

What is this, supposed to be scary? Ooh, scary, I’m so scared. Yeah, I’m afraid of the dark, what are you, two? Even two-year-olds aren’t actually afraid of the dark, just what they can’t see in it, what they don’t know might be there, and I know you’re there and that you’re you, so it’s not scary, just stupid and immature so just TURN ON THE FREAKIN’ LIGHTS, OK?

Fine, I’ll just get the switch in the kitcheYOWCH, MY TOE, CLARENCE WHY IS ALL THE FURNITURE IN THE WRONG PLACES? ANSWER ME, I CAN HEAR YOU BREATHING!

All right, look. I don’t know if this is supposed to be humorous or what, but Clarence, if that’s you, you better say so. I, uh… I know martial arts, you know. And I have a kni—a gun, I have a gun. And if you don’t speak up, I swear, I’ll use force on you. Self-defensive force, I swear I will.

Clarence?

Clarence?

FOR PETE’S SAKE, TURN ON THE LIGHTS!

Forgot to mention I bought that last one.

I bought this one for my girlfriend, her birthday's coming up.


Navman R300 Running GPS Sport Tool for Running
$39.99 + $5 shipping

Rest In Peace, New Genesis
Vector Tomorrowspring strode passionately from his Time Van, the jeweled crown of Chronoponyopolis upon his passionate heroic brow. He looked with mighty eyes over the copper desert planet with no real atmosphere. “Dunder and Toddle,” he whispered. For it was his dual nature, his brother-self, the won ton wrapper of past with the tender cabbage filling of future making the egg roll of now that stood before him, shirtless, with eyes that very much seemed lidded with mascara like a Gene Simmons impersonator: DARK VECTOR! And all Vector could do was run, hoping that perhaps he would lose calories along the way. Thankfully, he was prepared, with his Navman R300 Sport Tool for Running. With only two buttons, Vector was not able to make any mistakes that opened a portal to another dimension where he led a different life and came back to menace himself only with a new haircut. With the GPS technology built right in, Vector was not able to become lost and therefore was never forced to assemble a team of strange aliens who helped him fight to choose a path between man and god-thing. With the changeable faceplates he was able to match any new costume that he happened to find or grow or whatever, and the rubberized waterproof case kept his Navman dry with each step, thus avoiding the crucial moment when Vector became DARK VECTOR! and rending his omni-present future a thing of the past for all eternity. Which is good, because generally after about ten or twelve issues no one really has any idea what Jim Starlin is talking about.

Dude, you're ending up with all this stuff that you'll use just once or twice.


There, somebody had to say it.

[manasecret]

Use a rechargeable flashlight only once or twice? I don't know about the Netherlands, but on this side of the Earth it tends to get kinda dark every day right after the sun goes down, something we call night, which makes a flashlight quite useful. You might say to me, "Hey, Mr. Dickhead-not-funny-sarcasm-guy, don't you already have a bunch of flashlights, what do you need one more for?" And I would say, no I don't have one all my own, and even if I did none are rechargeable.

The other one is for my girlfriend, it's up to her to use it more than once or twice, and we'll see.

Catchy theme song.

Damn I was so close to getting a Bag O' Crap, but my coworker distracted me at the very minute that it came on and I missed it.
