A list of things I just don't want.

 

I spend a lot of time on Amazon.com.  My time is probably split in three parts:  shopping, learning, and listening.  During this time, I have stumbled upon several items that I absolutely do not want.  I have kept track of this list, so that it can be used as a guide for anyone planning to give me a gift.  I think it will also be useful to the general population.

So, if you are planning on getting me something, first check my wish-list, and if you don't want to go with something from that, just make sure it is not on this list.  And, thanks ahead for the gift.  I love it.  It's just what I wanted.

Quote 

We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.

Now, what does this teach the children?

Things I Don't Want for My Kids 

Now, I just don't think this is necessary. I am certain children can grasp the concept of pooping without graphics and labels involved. And, do we really need to devote more of our children's time with farts? Shouldn't we be teaching them something useful? Won't they learn enough about farts once they get to public school? And, frankly, I don't have it in me to address the Breasts book.

Everyone Poops (My Body Science Series) (My Body Science Series)

Amazon Price: $7.95 (as of 07/26/2008)

What is on your Anti-Wish List?

SilvaraWilde

This is great! I've often wondered why people came up with these things on Amazon. Have you seen the Worlds Largest Book about the Smallest Country? (otherwise known as "Bhutan: A Visual Odyssey Across the Last Himalayan Kingdom") It's 5' tall by 7' wide, takes months to be made, and costs more than that land-tank you say you don't want!

You've put me off online shopping for at least a week. Maybe eating too. Ah, a new lens -- "the anti-wish list diet.

Rokusan

This is hysterical, I love it! I may have to go start my own list because, well, I simply cannot understand how anyone would NOT want the, oh, let me see, well, um, the Rocky Horror Picture Show Dr. Frank N Furter rubber duckie...?

Well done, very funny!

Do you know what's even scarier? It might be men in crotchless panties cruising around in tanks.

Posted April 27, 2008

kab

Marelisa - I have checked it out, and after much deliberation, I have decided that I do NOT want the Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank. It just looks like it may rust faster than I would like. My biggest confusion is the "Customers who bought this also bought..." Do you think there are a bunch of women in crotchless panties cruising around in tanks?
