I love Amazon. It's not a secret.
(Also? Totally scored one of their Cyber Monday deals. Merry Christmas to meeeeee!)
It should come as no surprise to you that I was cruising around the site tonight looking for a pair (or two) of suspenders for Ian. (Sidetrack: Ian got a pair of red suspenders from my little sister, Natalie, and now he's in love---with the suspenders---and wants to wear them every day.) Enter: Christmas. Except, there's No Way Under Heaven that I'm going to drive from store to store to store in an attempt to find children's suspenders. Nope. No way.
So while we were watching the finale of The Sing-Off, I set to work, clicking away, knowing I'd find what I needed online.
Quick diversion: How awesome is The Sing-Off??? I'm sorry, but Ben Folds gets me every time. I love that guy. I loved his music before this show, and now I think he's even rad-er. Bonus: he blogs. Also? Pentatonix deserved to win simply because they were forced to perform with Nick Lachey.
Anyway, back to the subject at hand. I found some suspenders...but they only got 2 1/2 stars....so I started reading the one-star reviews....and oh boy was I entertained.
It's no secret that Amazon has some relatively famous comment threads---most notably The Mountain Three Wolf Short Sleeved Tee. (Read it, you won't be disappointed. And on a related note, Joe thinks this is especially awesome because, indeed, he has a wolf-howling-at-the-moon glow-in-the-dark t-shirt. Not this one in particular, but it's scarily close.) If you're itching for more, google "Funny Amazon Comment Threads."
Back to the suspenders. So I was reading along, and came across this:
It's no wolf t-shirt, but I'll admit it made me giggle. Having never been victimized by a rogue pair of suspenders, I can't really empathize, but this good soul should know that I won't be buying this particular pair. (As if Ian needs to be swatted in the back of the head by the very device that's holding up his pants.)
Happy reading!

Jen, thank you so much for introducing me to the werewolf shirt reviews. I don't want to admit how much time I spent reading them. Hilarious. And I agree amazon is SO AWESOME!
I read this while watching The Sing-Off. And now I know the winner :-).
Tee hee, that IS an amusing review. I sometimes look at the 1- and 2-star reviews just for fun. It's also rewarding to do that for book reviews on Goodreads...another reason for you to join!
I am a closeted Urban Method fan. The Black Eyed Peas song they did in the early weeks is one of my favorite performances ever.
We also love Ben Folds & might (both) have crushes on him & his musical genius. Still haven't watched the finale yet...maybe tonight?
Wait wait--why was a working in the office man wearing a pare of children's suspenders anyway?
