Checking my Amazon Associate reports, I notice that four people ordered Cuisinarts through the links on my sites this Quarter.
I repeat, four U2log/Whedonesque readers ordered 30 dollar Cuisinarts.
Why?
Update: I had a closer look and it appears they are all parts for a Cuisinart, so it is probably just one user expanding. Ah well, it was funny while it lasted.

A Crumpler shop? Here in Amsterdam? That’s like a CRACK DEN, don’t they understand? I swear I went out to buy a LowePro bag, but came back with another Crumpler. What? LowePro = expensive, ugly. Crumpler = less expensive, pretty. It’s a no brainer.
I walked in carrying my “Wonder Weenie” and the Aussie “no worries” shop assistant said ‘Great bag!’ Then he took a closer look and told me I had my strap done the wrong way. ‘Fix it, fix it!’ I told him, which he did. I loved it. Usually in shops these days staff know absolutely bugger all about anything, least of all the products they’re selling.
Did I really ‘need’ another camera bag? I did indeed, my old ones no longer fit my equipment.
So I came home with a “Loyal Chap” (black), which allegedly fits 2 bodies and 5 lenses. Haven’t tried that, but it fits my crazy large lens upright plus the body and three smaller lenses, leaving enough space for paraphernalia.
All the while I was eyeing their discount shelf (30% off last year’s range), where among others a pretty purple “Heinous” and one of their smaller backpacks (“Team Player“) in a fetching oatmeal/brown hue was giving me the eye, but I resisted temptation.
