Shoppin’ Silly, the Amazon Way! #5

We all know that websites, especially sellers, use algorithms to analyze our transactions. They then tailor “suggestions” targeted to our presumed buying practices.

But sometimes those algorithms produce silly results!

While I really like Stephen King's writing in "The Body," I don't think it (or its original publication in Different Seasons) merit being listed as a reference book.

Even less so do I agree with the sorting algorithm which placed these JFK-assassination books in "Humor & Entertainment."

The moral is, Don't take computer suggestions without a little good ol' human dubiosity!  See you on Monday.  Happy shopping!

  

A Late December!

Here are the pages for December from the PsychoFLAIRapy calendar. Sorry to be tardy!

Those crazy PsychoFLAIRians, as you've noticed, wear nothing but G-strings and bikinis all year round.

PS -- as a special reward for sticking with us through the entire year of "1971=2021" calendar pages ...

Here's the BACK side of the December calendar.  It's proof that my talents don't run to freehand sketching.

  

No CODs for This Shopping List!

In December 1971 I thought it a neato, keen-o idea to concoct some anarchic kid's demolition Xmas list.

Pretty hyperbolic, huh?

Check out the back side of this typed sheet, on which I wrote the item prices before totaling them up on Dad's 15-pound electric adding machine.

And what do YOU want for Christmas, my precious?  Ponder that while waiting for Thursday's post!
