Expensive Stuff
Last week it was discovered (by someone, somewhere) that Amazon had an incorrect price on this house number.
The price was something ridiculous like $185,000 – it looks likey’ve corrected it now and removed the price, but not before a lot of really funny reviews were left, so if you have a few minutes…
Anyway, this got someone (that someone would be Rich over at {\richtext}) thinking about all the legitimate (up for debate) expensive stuff they got going on over at Amazon and he came up with a list. Go take a look and see what you want to add to your Amazon wish list.

Sugar Ants
It’s not a picnic gone wrong, but it is a fun set of photos on Flickr of ants made of sugar. Yum!

Whatever You Call It, Make It Do What I Want
At Bedtime:
Evren: “Can you set my alarm so it will wake me up in the morning?”
(You might be interested to know he doesn’t have an alarm, has never once woken up with an alarm and was pointing to the a/c control box on the wall that just randomly happens to be in his room.)
Jenn: “I’ve told you a hundred times that is NOT an alarm, it’s the air conditioner control box.” (I HAVE actually corrected him on this many times.)
Evren: “WELL. Can you set the air conditioner control so it will wake me up in the morning?”
Good Luck To This Guy
He’s selling everything he owns on eBay so he can travel for awhile. Pretty cool.
Do you need some stuff?
Good and Bad Advertising
I love a great advertising campaign.
This site has compiled hundreds of billboards, signs, and other advertising that is unique. Warning: Don’t click if you have only a couple of minutes before you have to leave to go somewhere. You’ll be late.
Johnny Cash and Tivo
I told my Tivo to record anything it comes across with Johnny Cash and was I surprised the other day when an old episode of Little House on the Prairie was waiting for me. Er, what? Turns out Johnny, and his lovely wife June, guest starred on an episode way back when and Tivo was just doing what I told it.
I love Johnny Cash but, pass. I’m sure it was a great episode.
46. THE COLLECTION
September 27, 1976, Season 3
On his way to Walnut Grove to collect donations, Reverend Alden becomes ill. He is rescued by Caleb Hodgekiss (played by Johnny Cash), an ex-con, who volunteers to help him. While Caleb’s wife, Mattie (played by June Carter Cash), tends to the Reverend, Caleb goes to Walnut Grove, posing as a colleague of Reverend Alden’s to collect donations … with the intentions of keeping all the money for himself. However, after participating in acts of kindness, Caleb has a change of heart and does the right thing with the money.
Of course he does the right thing.
