Leg Lamp

In GMail there are sponsored links – they direct you to sites that sell things you may be interested in. They are supposed to correspond with what you’re reading in your email… for example, if I’m reading an email about the kids’ new pet octopus, a site named “squids-r-us.com” might pop up. Guess what site was at the top of my gmail tonight?

RedRiderLegLamps.com – It’s a Major Award Red Rider Leg Lamps

I don’t know what was in my email that tripped to bot to make it think I’d desire such an item. But apparently the cries from the masses have been heard and wishes are being fulfilled with these things. So now YOU TOO can have your very own sexy leg lamp to put in your front room window.

P.S. I just looked again and Tracey mentioned the movie A Christmas Story in her response about Sammy’s tongue, so there you go. It wasn’t so completely out of left field, but in my sleep-deprived state I thought it was funny.
