Since Ace Mentioned Amazon ...
— andy

... and it's open blog where the Ship of Ace meanders aimlessly through the series of tubes, I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank you morons for hitting the Amazon thingy over in the sidebar like it owed you money during the holidays and into January.

The big guy should be able to upgrade to gourmet Ewok chow and may even be able to afford to add Dave in Texas to the coblogger dental plan. (Not that he will, of course, but now he needs a different excuse)

Ace really minimizes the business aspect of the blog (leaving rattling the tip jar to the cobloggers ... ok, Laura ... for example). It's just not his thing. No different with the Amazon link, which was really commenter driven, as countless members of the Moron Horde mentioned it in Monty's Sunday book thread and elsewhere.

Ace thanked me a while back for taking the initiative to set it up, and I just wanted to pass the thanks on to you folks who are the real reason for its success.

Open thread in the comments.

too bad I haven't had a chance to use it, yet.

Now, can we talk about getting some T-Shirts? Maybe a mug?

14 Hmmm. Ace gets $$ from Amazon. Ace writes glowing review of Amazon's Kindle.

Bedazzled?

My guess is that a big chunk of folks work jobs that actually give you MLK off.

It doesn't help that Ace and crew have been treating it like a Saturday (without football) as well.

20 Ace writes glowing review of Amazon's Kindle. Has anyone ever been sold on the Kindle before trying it? Everyone always says, "yeah, I didn't think I'd like it, either, but I love it". I'm still a skeptic, i.e., I haven't tried it.

Laser removal.

23 Is Obama re-enacting MLK's famous march down the fairway today?

Yeah, thanks a lot. Why do you want my kids to starve?

25 "Since Ace Mentioned Amazon ...... and it's open blog where the Ship of Ace meanders aimlessly through the series of tubes..."

Is that supposed to be "it's" or "its"? Having trouble decoding that sentence.

26 Is Obama re-enacting MLK's famous march down the fairway today?

Yes. And also penning "Letters From A Fairway Bunker."

Your welcome.

BTW Thanks to the most boring string of topics I can remember stunning content of today, I was inspired to finally get around to writing my "These candidates suck, we're all DOOMED" post I've needed to write for about 3 months now.

Instead of "morons", it would be more accurate to say "enablers".

34 Ace, if you're reading this....I would suggest that if you're keeping the Amazon linky to endless riches around, you should move it directly below the Paypal donation button on the left. It'll be a permanent, easy to find location, and there's all this prime real estate (small empty space below the PP button) where it would fit nicely.

I never tried it. Never thought I wanted or needed it. Got it as a gift. Once you kindle you will never go back.

Me. I had Kindle envy from the day Amazon announced the damned thing.

38 I'm with Lady in Black. Move it somewhere prominent.

Just an Oh, by the way. Gronkowski should be illegal. It's like having the Hulk at tight end. 6' 9", 295? Even given the probable exaggeration, how do you cover that?? Somebody is going to get their eye put out!

40 Too bad the Playstation Move bundle wasn't in the AoS Store cuz I looked for it. I think they have the extra controllers I need though, so that will have to do.
