You Get What You Pay For
So I have this great idea…see what you think. You give me some money and I’ll give you something in return. Need me to be more specific? Fine then, you give me $15 and I’ll give you 5 random things that I can find…but you can’t see them ahead of time. And I promise you that one of them has at least a 4% chance of being something that you want. Sounds lame, doesn’t it? Who on earth would take a deal like that. Only a true loser…
So my “mystery box” from yugster finally arrived today. (For those who are unfamiliar, it’s similar to ordering a bag-of-crap from woot.) So here’s the rundown of the contents:
MP3 Belt Bag - It says “nerd” without all the bulk of a fanny pack
Cellphone Headset - It actually fits my phone. (2.5mm jack) Too bad I have a bluetooth adapter for my car. Any of you out there want to look like one of those operators on TV?
Flingshot Chicken - It’s got an elastic neck so you can fling it. The warning says “Chicken may fly at high speeds. Aim away from people, pets, or breakable furnishings.”
Finger Fun Racing Game - it’s a keychain-sized version of those crappy games that were popular long before gameboy came out.
Leather Universal Cellphone Case - yeah, that’s right, leather. Other Benefits include “fashionable polka-dot interior lining” and “small vanity mirror inside front flap”.
Just in case you don’t think it’s a good haul, here’s another shot…

That’s what you get for going for the bootleg bag of crap…and you paid more for it too. That’ll teach you to not shop Woot.
