Occassionally, I see something that just strikes me as stupid and I feel compelled to tell the whole world about it. This Slumberland offer just piqued my interest. The deal is simple, the more money you spend with them, the more money they knock off the total price - sort of. If you look at this as a ratio, money saved per dollar spent, you actually save more money by spending less! The rest of the rant follows after the jump. (more…)

Spend More Money at Slumberland and SAVE LESS!!!
Monday, March 10th, 2008Ultra High-End Audio - Another cool toy
Saturday, December 1st, 2007
With the Christmas holiday quickly approaching, the absurd continues on. I mentioned the Willies Jeep a couple of posts back and saw this one on Crave just the other day. Kharma brings us an audio system 99.999% of people can’t afford. Perhaps I am wrong, are people really making this much money that they can blow so much on absurd things? The speaker set you see left (photo courtesy of HigherFi.com) retails for about a cool million - who need’s 100 thousand dollar cars when you can get speakers? Oh, don’t forget that you’ll need to buy a preamp, amp and at least a tuner expect to drop ten thousand on that, but what’s a few grand after the million anyway? I guess I’ll just have to live with my sad sub $1,000 Boston Acoustic speakers and theater system until I win PowerBall.
Willys Jeep - Another way cool toy!

Christmas madness is upon us and I’ve been catalog shopping today at Patty’s house - forget the long lines when you can get everything you could possibly want via mail order! Consider, what do you get the kid who has everything but a drivers license? Try this very cool Willy’s Jeep replica from FAO Schwarz. For only $9,900, you can have your own gas powered Willy’s Jeep replica, suitable for children - really. It comes complete with working headlights, brake lights, canvas top, spare tire, roll bar and extra break pedal for parents who are a little freaked out by their kids driving. It’s done in 2/3 scale and also is available in “Desert Sand”. Perhaps I’ll sell the real Jeep Wrangler, throw in $1,000 and buy one of these. Power Wheels, eat your heart out.
