While Girls Are Out Shopping For More Shoes, Here’s Two Things Guys Must Have On Black Friday
Post #5 of my 12th Anniversary Blogging Marathon, post #4,262 of my dozen years of daily blogging.
Go audacious or go home!
Guys, everybody is out shopping for the latest deals. Why? Because they have a tough time selling all that crap normally. But if you don’t tell the laddies that this is a liquidation sale, they won’t be any the wiser and you just go ahead and smile when they come back home with a car full of shopping bags.
Nonetheless, there are indeed things nearly every man truly needs. I’ll give you a couple of examples.
First up, the Icon A5.
The price tag is $250K, but if you lock up your wife for about 5 years in the dungeon so she can’t shop, I think you’re a pencil sharpening away from amortizing that purchase without having to earn any more money.
Just things to think about.
Now, if your wife is less than a power shopper, and you like to golf, how about a $58K price tag on a golf cart hovercraft?
Now guys, who’s really looking out for you?
If you’re enjoying this and have shopping to do, please consider hitting this Amazon link for your shopping. That’s all you have to do. When you do, it creates a perfect win-win-win. Rather than peddle some specific product to you, just buy whatever you like, need, or wish to gift. You win. Amazon competently gets it to you in a day or two, so Amazon, the producers, and suppliers win. At no additional cost to you, Amazon gives me 6-8% of the purchase without adding a single penny to your bill. Even if you just pop it in your cart, I’ll still get paid when you decide to check out.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND HOW IT WORKS
Free The Animal is an eclectic writing project about everything since November 2003. 23 years, 5,500 posts, 5 million words.
It's a paid membership blog. Most posts are free and public, but only paid members can comment. What determines whether it's free or paid is when I publish. Monday through Friday, free and public. Saturday and Sunday, for paid members. That's it. Membership info here.
Why not just buy a Taylorcraft BC-12D and some EDO 1400s? That’ll run you about $25 and you’ll still be able to get off the water faster than that thing. If you had $250k sitting around you could get a 185 on amphibs.
edit: $25k for the Tcart and EDOs.
Clearly I’m a fail. I went to Petsmart and bought 20 cases of Fancy Feast and ordered a new Mayan Hammock. If being airborne is part of the appeal of it all, then the hammock will suffice. ;)
Petsmart has hammocks?
Cool. :)
No man. But pet hammocks do exist.
For moi. I figure the one I’ve been sleeping in for over 4 years needs to be retired.
Too bad you have no appetite. Over here I’ve got rice and red beans and stew chicken (Wes-indian style) melding together in the oven for a kickass pelau.
I believe it. Niki told me over the phone that you’re a cook to be reckoned with.
Heh heh, Niki eats! Nice to be appreciated. :)
Nuke might enjoy one of these:

Girlfiend.
You have no idea how wild-ass wild Nuke is. It’s why I call her Nuke the cat. She’s a damn hybrid between a mean to loving pit bull, and a feral cat that doean’t give a fucking shit, don’t wanna hear you nice kitty bullshit, do you have food or don’t you and if you do, I might let you admire my awesomness for a few minutes, before I run off, becaus I really don’t give much of a fuck but in consolation, you peaple are just so sweet.

Small world, I went to College with Kirk (founder/CEO) and he took a girlfriend and I flying and let us stay at a cabin he had near Charleston. Damn good and capable guy. I always thought, if my pilot or surgeon died and we needed someone to step in during a crisis, this guy would pull it off. He induced one of those stall/spins after asking us if it was OK. I think I still have a video somewhere of him base jumping off El Capitan back in the day.
