NIN's "The Slip" on vinyl is $7.40 on amazon. I paid twenty something. great pressing, great album.

[grawk]

yay, bought.

[Wmcmanus]

yay, bought.

x2. Both the NIN album and a pair of Classic with SmartWool.

I was quite disappointed with my first pair from Vibram. Actually, I bought a pair for myself and another pair for my g/f, and they pulled a bait and switch on us for BOTH pairs! They were shipped directly from China, but even so, I was going to return them, but VIbram never responded to several emails that I sent, describing the problem. Basically, we didn't get what we ordered. The sizes were right, but in both cases they sent lower priced items.

Anyway, I'm over that... this time I've ordered a much smaller size, consistent with the way they suggest you measure your foot in inches as opposed to shoe size (I don't recall doing that last time). Hopefully, this pair will fit better.

edit: ordered the Vibrams, got an exact measurement of my foot. Excited to jump on this FOTY

[Dusty Chalk]

Please don't mention "flavor" and shoes or feet or anything in the same breath. Again. Ever.

On the bandwagon, for the Vibram's, NiN LP, as well as 3 F Paul Wilson books I haven't read! Had to get that Free Shipping, so spent $25+ more than I needed to

Thanks for the great recommends.....

I lollered. They should start doing that in the margin -- "Your cart is empty, (No) Part of your order qualifies for free shipping! You need to give us $25 mo' moneys to qualify for free shippings!"

They still look ridiculous, no matter how cheap.

Heh.I was thinking this, too.

[skullguise]

My first thought when I saw them was that they reminded me of those monster halloween feet (less the hair). But the price is right, and many a folk seem to like them....so I bit.

Vibram FiveFingers are great. Fitz has horrible fashion sense and is quite possibly a monkey... but not in a good way. I'm seriously tempted to pick up this pair as my 3rd...

I'm strictly digital, but this review of Rumors makes me want to grab it.

And there is no rumor about it, Hoffman and Gray remastered it. Steve was talking about it back at the 2007 national meet and ever since.

[aardvark baguette]

Its sad that you could start and finish college in the time it took to release it

Sizzle!

There's a new Humble Indie Bundle up, comprised completely of Frozenbyte games. The rules are the same as the previous two HIBs: Pay what you want ($1 minimum); you control how much of your $ goes to charity and how much goes to the game developers; cross platform games (Mac, Win, Linux); Steam keys included; no DRM. I heard on reddit that the some of the Mac games are not currently listed on the Steam store, but if you register your keys, you will be able to download them. Handy. This deal is worth it no matter what, but especially so for Trine.
