Has anyone else noticed that Amazons "deal of the day" have gotten a lot crappier since "Prime Day"?
It's like they decided that a 55 gallon drum of astroglide and 2 bottles of Windex really are what the people wanted (excluding @Torchsong he has odd tastes).
Editors note: revenue has grown pretty steady and margins are expanding. We aren't getting the deals we once did (not counting the states that collect sales tax from amazon).

The only problem with a 55-gallon drum of Astroglide? Where to put it! *rim shot*
I think they're saving the "good stuff" for cyber-Monday and all that jazz. That'd be my guess, anyway
From this year's anecdotal, thoroughly unscientific poll of watching the Halloween parade at my daughter's elementary school this morning, I would say that the Disney family of brands wins Halloween again this year.
Now onto pressing matters. My alma mater played football on national television Saturday (330 CBS); they've played many times on national television (they played on the Sec network last week and CBS the previous 2week). In two weeks they've failed to score 1 touchdown. I said it last year, we sent the wrong coach to Colorado St.
I gave up on our head coach the year he lost Vandy and Kentucky in the same season (in football not basketball); he needed to get gone then. My friends from said alma mater disagreed (I said if you haven't got enough pride/drive to win against at least one of the whipping boys of the conference you never will); far fewer are in disagreement now.
My wife bought our kids' costumes off of Amazon this year. Our 9 year old son was a very authentic looking doctor(scrubs, white coat, real stethoscope, etc) while our 11 year old daughter was his patient who had been in an accident. She had the hospital gown, crutches, bandages, and a score of painted bruises and scrapes. They received so many compliments this year. We heard one kid say, "Mom, next year I want to be a doctor!" I think they enjoyed being something other than the common ninja, witch, or liscenced character.

Well, I hate to make things worse. But, I'm afraid that Lil' Sebastian; beloved miniature horse of Pawnee Indiana passed away last night.
The memorial service presented by E-720 and featuring a live performance by MouseRat will be held this Friday.
In other depressing news ESPN shutdown grantland this weekend. It was a surprise to the employees. It was going to happen sooner than later, but come on give your employees a heads up. I guess the mouse gotta eat, and grantland just wasn't bring in enough money.
I never loved grantland, however I did love writers Zach lowe ( NBA), bill barmwell (NFL), Jonah keri (mlb) and David shumaker (wwe). They had excellent sports podcasts and really good boxing coverage. They were the intelligent counter point to first take and Mike/Mike.
Who knows, maybe someday I'll get a PVR that works. Then, I can finally give the world the Christina Hendricks/Jewel Staite Divas Championship match that I know it has been asking for.
I was uploading the newest episode of my show to YouTube & one of suggested tags to list the video with was Morbius, the Living Vampire (Comic Book Character). I clicked it and continued waiting for the video to finish uploading.
Turns out that Morbius, the Living Vampire (Comic Book Character) is too long to use as tag....Well, if that's the case then why was it suggested?
The Three Stooges could never play in today's NFL.

I saw that and it was pretty blatant. Dude walked right up and jammed two fingers right in the guy's eye. He deserves any penalty they throw at him.
When a Saints fan calls your guy a punk, that's saying something. We'd have just shot him. :)

Agreed. But again, the Three Stooges couldn't play in today's NFL, you of ALL people on these forums should get that @Torchsong - I miss your old avatar.
If you're feeling fancy and have a second, you could vote for my kids and me for the Halloween ComicFest costume contest. There's no way we'll win at this point, but it'll be fun to show my kids they got some votes. Thanks!

Catching up on Walking Dead. I let four episodes slip by after the premiere. Which now means that no show for me is "must-see right away" at this point. Interesting.

Go to the Halloween stores today or early this week for half priced hero and princess costumes for the kiddies.
They will love and re-use them several times.
