Cyber Monday & excesses

So yesterday, last night, I was looking online and seeing what was what.. I have several sites I "follow" via the like on Facebook that are a shopping type.. Cyber Monday, like Black Friday, started early this year.. Started last night at midnight eastern or ten our time (earlier if you have a couple of watchdog sites/RSS feeds that do that kind of thing and I have every site on RSS).. So what caught my eye??  The Roku streaming player, and not the one I was looking to get at Walmart (the $49.99 one) it was the next step up, which as I looked at it, they are identical..  the cheaper of the two, the LT (purple box) then the next step up is the HD and it has a regular price tag of $59.99 but was listed for cyber Monday at $39.99... Ten dollars cheaper than the LT, so this morning the suspense was ended as I got it ordered.. I waited until today in hopes that the NEO TV streaming player would be offered at a must have price.. The one I wanted, the one that I can hook up (I don't have a High Definition Media Interface (HDMI)  hookup on my high def tv go figure) but it wasn't cheaper even by a dime so, rather than wait until later I ordered this box, and also three replacement batteries for my video camera hoping these are good batteries.. The non OEM batteries aren't nearly as good but were fine before but they went bad when I needed them the most... Hopefully these will be good, and at the price I hope they are not a waste of money.. Yeah they're cheap but I hope they work at least as good as the last two non OEM type..  Knowing really good, nearly OEM quality are nearly a quarter the price of the camera..

So after getting all of my x-mas gifts set to come to me I looked at a few more things.. Last year I lost my pocket knife (read an early entry somewhere) and I looked all over last year at this time for a replacement, but I never really found the perfect knife.. Then the people who do the lawn found my pocket knife somewhere and it was a year rusted but was back and I was happy.. I found two or three perfect replacement pocketknives while looking around after sending in the order.. Then I found the most beyond.. What can I say ultimate if this is your cup of chissel... check this out:

I mean  87 implements, 141 functions and a price tag of just under one thousand dollars.. The reviews are so classic on this.. One of them says it's so big it won't fit in my pocket.. It's a novelty, more than anything else.. I saw a guy found one of these in an episode of storage wars and had it appraised for more like two thousand dollars..  The shit you find on cyber Monday..
