I have a small, deeply disturbed following

So I was checking out my Amazon Associates report on what was purchased at Amazon.com via danieldrezner.com. And now I'm haunted.

Occasionally I think, "Exactly what did I post that made some reader decide to purchase these items via my website?"

Unfortunately, most of the time I fret about what I posted to trigger this purchase.

The horror, the horror.

Dan, c'mon. It's no mystery that Andrew Sullivan is an avid reader.

Start getting ready. Your wife will mandate the purchase of this item before you hit 45...

Can't top the previous comment.

But old farts need such devices. If we've got to buy, why not thru a link we like?

It could be worse.

As long as the nose trimmer comes before the male g-string, everything's cool.

Just be thankful they didn't buy this.

I got some of the books you recommended - Thucydides, two by Gilpin, Powers and Mearsheimer - and they're excellent. I think I'll pass on the other items though.

They had psychic precognition of the January 2 post on outsourcing?

How about some advanced warning for those of us at work before we pop open a giant picture of a male g string on our screen? Thanks.

*Male* g-strings?

All I saw were g-strings for ladies.

Where's the beef(cake)? I'd much rather look at that :)

I think it had to be your little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane.

I bet I found the review by the DD reader who bought the nose groomer:
"...Despite my guyish partiality to gadgets, I'd recommend a simple bikini waxing kit until the free market recognizes this great need...]("Caution" by Monty, Dec 16)

Deeply disturbed?
I take that as an insult, than you very much.

Now, I'll take my axe, my pet de-boned chicken, my spikes and my bottle of witch hazel, and my Marylyn Manson collection, and go home... as soon as I can get back on my unicycle.
(Sniff!)
