Sometimes, Amazon emails me and suggests I buy a book or some music or somesuch based on past purchases. (Yes, they send me cheese recommendations too, since they co-market with I-Gourmet, where I get my fancy cheeses). Here's the most recent list. What the heck does it say about me? There's a test at the end so read carefully.
Amazon.com has new recommendations for you based on items you purchased or
told us you own.

I remember a Jack Horkheimer, Star Hustler on PBS. But that was years ago.
Hey at least you dont get Raycorner.com books recos for how to start your own internet porn biz or how to be a porn star in 6 weeks.
Or maybe you do...
You must have bought some real strange smelling cheese I tell you ...
FGR - Boom - chocka - wow wow.
Phaty - I think you meant "cut," not "buy.' But I appreciate the sentiments.
Please forward all cheese recommendations. I am partial to the hard aslty Italian cheeses while the missus likes the ones which smell like feet.
The simple answer to the poll question is that you are my father in law, which is a bit shocking to me and I'm sure to you roo.
It's not as shocking to me, David, as it was to your mother-in-law. But then I'm all about the shocker.
The Essential Captain Kirk: Selected Essays by Captain Kirk.
That one says it all Jim. oh wait.
We're sorry, we couldn't find that poll.
It may have been removed for inactivity, or for Terms of Service violations.
My best guess is the Terms of Service violation. Based on the stuff you didn't show us on your recommendation list.
Like Big Mike, I tried. It must have been shut down early, like pron sites for senior citizens. See if you can start it up again, as I would really like to have my voice heard.
Boz, this site is not a democracy. At best, on good days, it's a benevolent dictatorship. You'll vote when, where, and for whom I tell you.
Kinda like Chicago, except I will only let you vote once.
Your poll is still missing. It must be the cold weather.
It should be "The Essential Stan Getz" who is this Russell clown and what essays could be more jazzed then Getz!
I think you are a right winger.
dude, i tried to take your poll, and I got some weird error.
i think your blog's being monitored by the NSA.
thanks,
burt
definitely a left winger, everyone knows right wingers don't know how to read. :p
