I'm the person who went to Lowe's to buy a shelf bracket and ended up spending $100.

Realized after I got home that I should've bought two brackets, and in the interests of my sanity and pocketbook ordered a second one from Amazon instead of returning to Lowe's for it. At least with Amazon I have the option of x-ing out of my shopping trip immediately after buying the one small item I actually went there to get.

Warship 2013.
Last year I pre-ordered the 2012 edition, then cancelled it. Six months later they were going for $100 or more. This year I decided not to make that mistake again. I pre-ordered this year's volume early last month, and my price was four dollars less than the list price.

Now that you mention it, the light is really pointless unless I replace the wooden cabinet doors with glass ones so my handiwork is on display 24/7.

I should also prolly rig up something that plays the Ode To Joy every time someone opens the cupboard.

But seriously - the light will go over the kitchen sink.

That would be hilarious if you rigged it to play the sounds of gunshots, explosions, or screams.

"Hey Tom, will you get me a plate from that cabinet?"

"Sure. Let me jus- OH MY GOD!"

Some of that music on your last MP3 Purchase was kind of interesting.

You must really love that stuff to buy album after album of it.

Actually I love most types of music to one degree or another. I got into the old stuff when a bandmate loaned me a huge amount of CDs. He really loved Mozart, and I started getting into Bach. When I got curious as to what came before Bach I was shocked. There were hundreds of Baroque composers, and before them came the Renaissance. Before that was the Medieval period.

My real problem is that I'm a completist. Obsessive-compulsive. If I like one album from a particular band I have to have everything they did, whether I like it all or not. I have to have it in the proper order, and it has to be dated. Once I started liking the Medieval period I had to start collecting everything I could. It's part love and part addiction. I figure if I hold myself to ten dollars per week or less I should be alright.

I see...



I like a bunch of different kinds of music. Classical type stuff hasn't been one of them. I always hated it because in Kindergarten the teacher would play it at nap time and it would keep me awake instead of put me to sleep.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pure Pizza Cutter

Okay so that's (IMO) a lot of money for a pizza cutter, but I've been through 2-3 cheaper ones and hated every last one of them. I have Zwilling JA Henckels flatware and it is AWESOME. But mostly I confess I picked this one because of the first review I read, which follows:

I sat there in the deepest reaches of my kitchen, battling the heat of the pizza. Flames shot out from the oven below nearly scorching me, ending my young life before I've had a chance to retire or finish the second season of Jersey Shore.

I saw it amidst the plumes of italian-seasoned steam now encircling me. Excalibur, blade of legend, delivered to King Arthur by a naked woman in a lake. Or was it? Was it possibly.. the Pizza Cutter I purchased from Amazon.com, which was delivered in two days due to my Prime Subscription?

I hefted the circular blades hilt in my hand; Yes, a force to be reckoned with. But, it may have been too late; with its polished aluminum exterior, glistening like the aurora-borealis, I saw them approaching from behind; children, in droves, and hungry.

For Pizza.

I pressed down but slightly on the golden brown crust and it gave way without any effort; "is this possible?", I thought to myself as I effortlessly cut through the pizza. Each and every arc of my hand was true of aim; no wobble like lesser blades.

And so the beast was quelled, and the horde of small ones were satisfied for but one more night. Excalibur, king of all swords, rests atop my counter in his throne of glory, ready to slice and dice any and all pizzas that come before him.

Any pizza cutter that can inspire something like that is worth twenty-five bucks in my book.
