Amazon weirdness

I enjoy amazon.com. I have purchased music, movies, and books from them. I have purchased the odd kitchen implement. I have even, please don't ask, purchased a four pack of disposible razors from them. (What the heck was I thinking?)

I have purchased none of the following items from them however. These things are strange. Unlike what I have.

Constrict your anus 100 times per day? And be cured of depression?

Hmmm...this author has multiple hit books. Self-publishing at its finest.

Ben & Jerry's, by mail, for $9.00 per pint. Convenience store not convenient enough? Want to wait a week for your ice cream?

Tibetan Yak Cheese. It's actually surprising foul. At least the dried yak cheese curd that was brought back from Nepal was.

Pig feet. Yup, might as well add them to the cart when you buy your copies of Fehrenheit 9-11, An Introduction to Epidemiology, and the latest P.J. Harvey CD.

An elk carcass. At least 225lbs. Farm-raised elk. Okay, so there's a party tomorrow and you forgot to get an elk. Go online and order one up. Have FedEx deliver it before the guests arrive.

Bee scent. There are a whole bunch of weird agricultural products on amazon, and it's likely that I find them weird mostly out of ignorance. All I can picturing using bee scent for is a practical joke...

Fake, indoor wind chimes. No wind required.

Most of the pink lawn flamingos sold on amazon aren't available at the moment. This one is. Depress your neighbors' property values with ease.
