Amazon Binder Reviews


Tuesday night’s favorite new meme found its way onto to the review pages of Amazon for Avery binders. A sampling:

 

 

 

Product not as advertised,October 18, 2012Product came with no women of any kind. Company needs to square its sales pitch with that of its national spokespeople.

 
Great place to keep women in their place,October 18, 2012

Before Tuesday I had no idea WHERE to keep my women, but I do now! Thank-you binders. For years I had to search through paper after paper to find the right woman, now I can keep them in their place…and alphabetically too! If I want to call up Joan Doe I can and easy too….just grab the right binder and BAM there she is, saves so much time of relentless searches! I just have to have Joan home by four, she has to make dinner for the kids.

 

One Missing Bit of Information You Might Want To Know,October 18, 2012

For any of you who might be considering, like me, purchasing this binder based on the reviews, let me just point out one glaring omission: While this is a lovely, multi-purpose binder, IT DOES NOT COME WITH WOMEN. Presumably one is expected to find women on one’s own, or contact women’s groups who are supposedly eager to help stock your empty binder with women.

For a first time buyer like myself, I have to say I would rather have waited until I had accumulated a few women before investing in a binder. Just a little warning for prospective buyers.

Easily the most comfortable binder I’ve ever lived in,October 18, 2012

I just cannot say enough about this binder! It’s so cozy and homey on the inside, yet classy and sophisticated on the outside. I sleep like a baby in this binder! I just wish it had a bathroom. Can’t have it all, I guess :)

 

Confirmation of daughter’s name,October 18, 2012

Who would have thought a woman like me, living in a binder, would have had the forethought to name my daughter Avery? But I did, and boy am I glad. Now she can live in a binder with her name on it, but not seem haughty or overly masculine. Of course, I run the risk of seeming proud–such an unfeminine trait!–so I will give my manly husband all the credit for Avery’s name.

 

Need a binder with more pockets!,October 18, 2012

This binder did fit me and the other sister wives comfortably, but we found that we could use more pockets for storing our belongings – like our list of rules and the sleeping with the husband schedule. THANKS FOR LISTENING! (We’re not used to being heard)

 

math too complicated!,October 18, 2012

I thought I could handle this binder. I hear as a stay at home mom, my pay would be well over 100k. Is that what stay at home dads get? Should I multiply that by 72%? And then do the woman in the binder only get 72% of that answer? ‘Cause that still seems like a lot. Ugggghh! Frustrated and overwhelmed, I couldn’t make sense of the math and gave up. Now the binder is stuffed to the back of the closest like all my other poor choices and kitchen gadgets. Don’t waste your money and complicate your life. Sometimes the good old fashioned way works best.

The TacoCopter

History may never record a civilian benefit of military technology greater than the TacoCopter. Just place your order on your smartphone and this unmanned aerial robot will whiz high above the traffic to deliver your meal fast, fresh and hot. A Silicone Valley start-up hopes to have the first TacoCopter in service in the near future.

Suddenly, the $3.2 billion annual budget for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) seems like money well spent. The company has recently submitted a proposal to DARPA requesting another $14.6 million in order to evaluate and adapt this UAV technology for the delivery of pizza as well.

Shop Rules

I have a garage shop that I spend an inordinate amount of time in. I am always building some Rube Goldberg solution for problems that may or may not be real. It doesn’t much matter. My wife is enjoying her TV programs unchallenged and I’m putzing in the garage happy that the real estate couple on HGTV are not causing my ears to bleed.

Like most shop-junkies, I am something of a hoarder.  You just never know when you will need that electric motor or miscellaneous piece of pipe.

This has taught me two basic rules about a shop:

Rule #1: The only way to need something is to throw it out.

Rule #2: The only way to find something you already have is to replace it.
