- Glad I didn't wait to buy that Fitbit. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 15, 07:31

  - There is just too much crap to wade through. Phone cases? Bath sponges? -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 07:30 1
    - Don't forget the vitamins and suppliments like coconut oil and shakes. And the 24 inch long shoehorn. -- nm - sycor Jul 15, 07:33
- when they started saying "bigger than Black Friday" they dug their own grave -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 07:21 10
  - Did they say "bigger"? I thought they said "more deals than"...and while similar, not really the same. -- nm - Jim Jul 15, 07:22 8
    - More deals. Lots of deals on crappy things. Though the Echo just dropped to $130 for those interested in it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 07:23 5
      - Did the TVs ever show up? They said there were going to be some of those, but I have yet to see them unless they were at 3 AM -- nm - JaxSean Jul 15, 07:38 1

  - The rumors got me hyped and now I'm sad. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 07:21
- I was thinking the same thing. There's a lot of junk and it was widely advertised so people aren't going to give it any quarter. -- nm* - Diva Jul 15, 07:20
- Right now I'm very disappointed. I had such high hopes for some big sales on big items. It's still early so hopefully they're saving - Krusty Jul 15, 07:20

      - ok, that's pretty funny. -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 07:28
- It's like a woot-off. Sale prices on tons of crap you really don't want. -- nm - oblique Jul 15, 07:18 12
  - I just got up, but yeah, that's my initial impression. Looks like a lot of deals are lightning deals. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 07:33
  - Like Echo. - Spawn Jul 15, 07:23 3
    - We're enjoying our Echo to a certain degree. It has almost functionally replaced our microwave timer and is used extensively as an alarm for when we - oblique Jul 15, 07:28 2
      - I need to figure out what Match is. It sounds like we're using Echo in similar ways. - David Jul 15, 07:30 1
        
        This has a nice summary but basically it is $25/yr (same as iTunes) and any MP3/MP4 you have on your computer that is "matched" by the service - oblique Jul 15, 07:35
  - I got my SIL a baby bottle warmer for $11.00. The one on her registry is listed for $44. Mel told me to get her a $**@_$*! sauce pan. -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 07:23 5

Your latest multiple marriage hetero hypocrite against same-sex marriages is Angela Merkel -- (link) - ty97 Jul 15, 07:13 4
- It's times like this that makes me wish SNL wasn't on break. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 07:36
- she really hates Greek -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 07:20
- She said: “I’m someone who is very supportive of us eliminating all discrimination." I guess not, Angela. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 07:18

Someone was asking about bluetooth ear buds yesterday. Here's a pair on sale that gets decent reviews and should work well for jogging. -- (link) - Krusty Jul 15, 07:03 5
- Here's another pair, on sale now -- (link) - kelly Jul 15, 07:42
- those look pretty good. -- nm - decline Jul 15, 07:13 1

- thanks, mister -- nm - prayformojo Jul 15, 07:05 1
  - No problem. If any others pop up I'll let you know. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 07:06

Why Marcus Mariota Hasn't Signed His Titans Contract Yet -- (link) - Beaker Jul 15, 06:41 8
- One (hyphenated) word: double-dipping. - David Jul 15, 06:49 7
  - I don't get this. You're guaranteeing money in a contract. Short of him being unable to fulfill his contract via his choice (retirement / jail) - Will Hunting Jul 15, 06:55 4
    - Double-dipping occurs when a high first round pick busts out for one team then plays for another. - David Jul 15, 06:57 3
      - Again, if 6mil is guaranteed, pay me 6mil. Otherwise, don't call it guaranteed. - Will Hunting Jul 15, 07:03 2
        
        Well, it's guaranteed by someone. Basically, they'll pay you $6m unless someone else is paying you and it gets deducted. - spamlet Jul 15, 07:34
        
        That's actually a good point. The word "guaranteed" is problematic in this usage. -- nm - David Jul 15, 07:21
  - I can't see how the Titans don't blink first -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 06:53 1
    - They never have before. -- nm - David Jul 15, 06:55
