Not like Game of Thrones
By George Takei, May 10, 2013
Brad and I were very excited to order a few of these delectable beauties in order to reenact the skinning and spitting-over-an-open-fire scene from Game of Thrones. Now, I hate to split hares, but…first of all, it is NOT at all as easy as it looks in that scene. Meera and Osha made it look so simple. But both Brad and my pulling together couldn’t get that damn skin off. The rabbit wound up looking more like Theon Greyjoy’s finger than a rabbit. Second, apparently you cannot light an open fire in your backyard in Los Angeles. No one told us that. Thanks, LAFD, for understanding. Third, it pretty much tastes like chicken.

I know what it’s like to be a feral dog
By M. Rosen, August 6, 2007
Like many suburban homeowners, I like to kill and eat the wild animals that populate my backyard. To keep it sporting, I hunt naked, with my teeth and long, sharpened fingernails as my only weapons. I’ve feasted on squirrel, raccoon, vole, and numerous songbirds. But no matter how long I lay spread-eagle and motionless in the hot noonday sun, I have never been able to outwit and catch any of the plump and juicy rabbits that hop just outside my reach and then bolt for the woods when I leap forward with a blood-curdling shriek. I have chased them at a dead run through the yards of the many unoccupied homes that surround mine, but the pursuit always ends in frustration. But no more, thanks to Amazon. Every week, I order a fresh whole rabbit and affix it to a remote control car that is operated by one of my children. This way, I get the thrill of the hunt, and when the car’s batteries are exhausted, I can leap upon it, bury my teeth into the rabbit’s soft flesh, and perform my ritual victory dance right there in the Walgreens parking lot.

So gross. Who would buy meat online? Rabbit meat, for that matter?! And it’s a WHOLE rabbit. YUCK!
Rabbits were domesticated for meat, “Mike,” you dingus. This is like protesting the sale of hamburgers online. Why aren’t people protesting the real hot button issue here, the god-awful price? I can get this at my local farmers market for 15 bucks and no shipping and know exactly how fresh it is. For forty bucks this better come with table settings and side dishes.

Looking For—Best of David Hasselhoff
Check out the real thing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000070S1
4.8 out of 5 stars
Name: Looking For—Best of David Hasselhoff
ASIN: B0000070S1
Price: $99.95
This man only plays a lifeguard on TV! Many the world over (especially in Europe) are starting to realize that Hasselhoff is a serious recording artist in his own right. This “Best of…” collection is tantamount to this idea. Features Michael Knight’s version of the Paul Anka–penned “Freedom for the World,” the previously unreleased “Fallin’ In Love” and “Do You Believe In Love,” plus a duet with Laura Branigan (“I Believe”) and more. Released in 1995.

Hot shot
By A Customer, August 22, 2003
I now own three CDs: Looking For—Best of David Hasselhoff (which is an import—i.e., I imported it from elsewhere), “David Hasselhof—The Very Best,” and “The Best of David Hasselhof.” I also own a table, a chair, a tea set left to me by my gran, a curtain, three pairs of underpants, a small fridge that does not work, a black-and-white television, a bicycle pump, a shirt, two pairs of grey trousers, a tin of sweet corn, and a hedgehog-shaped shoe scraper. I own a knife, a fork, and a coffee cup, a tie (black), a pair of odd socks, and a pair of matched socks, one cassette of calming sounds designed to help me stop smoking (I have never smoked), a newspaper from June 1987, a carrier bag from the co-op, a plastic wallet in which I keep my bus pass and any money I ever obtain through whatever means (usually favours to desperate men), a towel, a bar of imperial leather dating from 1996, and a pair of brown shoes. I think when I get a CD player I will like this album most out of all of my possessions because the reviews of it are so good. If I ever have any more possessions I will try to let you know. I expect the song “Hot Shot City” is particularly good.

A Tropical Storm in Your Trousers
By A Customer, November 28, 2002
Don’t be mistaken, the instant this (exquisitely packaged, btw) disc leaps its way onto your Beat Box (mine’s a multichanger) like a thrusting man-god in orange subduing an Atlantic surf-storm (but this time without that plastic thing on a string), a tsunami of sheer lunatic artistry descends on one’s fornicating worthlessness. On you jump, the elevator of higher understanding, accelerating toward and through each track (floor), until you stop at Lingerie & Ladies’ Fashions that is “Hot Shot City,” which is particularly good. Meanwhile, outside Hafflehorse’s carrot-hued universe, you don’t notice that your tongue has been trapped in an egg whisk for some while as you become a floater, bobbing downstream in the undercurrent of sonic dysentery toward “Je t’aime Means I Love You,” a foreplay of toe-sucking banjo virtuoso, soaring then tumbling into the tender congress of harmonies between a rabid parrot and a peeled monkey. Leave well alone, if you feel shaving ferrets is life enough; otherwise be *very* aware, peer beyond the cover hewn from the rock of Olympus itself and forever stain your psyche with an indelible chalky whiteness.

On the first day, God created David Hasselhoff
By Wayne Buzzard, November 11, 2003
What can you say about David Hasselhoff that hasn’t already been said one thousand times before? The man is quite simply a musical genius. Hasselhoff’s entire arsenal of musical weaponry is on full display in this album. At first I didn’t really believe that David Hasselhoff, international star of television and cinema, could actually be a talented musician. I was skeptical to say the least. Then my friend played a few Hasselhoff songs for me and, wow, I was hooked. The words flowed forth from Hasselhoff’s tender lips like sweet nectar from the mouth of God himself. I found myself in a trance of pure joy and ecstasy as the soothing rhythms caressed my ear. Hasselhoff’s hymns had brought me to the summit of human achievement, and I was now free to look down at the wreckage and ruin that lay below. I stared into the distance and said, “Oh thine Hasselhoff, how thy music hath saved my immortal soul.” Hasselhoff’s music is life making, and I can only hope that you, too, will experience its profound gifts.

Too realistic
By George Takei, June 11, 2013
After Brad got me this set, I realized that they were a bit TOO true to life. The Kirk shaker kept wandering off in search of “lady shakers,” insisting his salt crystals were real dilithium. I’d have recommended this as a great Father’s Day gift, but I noticed over time that the body of t
he shaker droops, and the uniform now seems, well, a bit snug. I also was disappointed to learn that the hairpiece does NOT come off as expected. One star off my marks for that. Plus, the Spock shaker kept trying to rescue the Kirk shaker, even after it crawled in the microwave and was irradiated beyond repair. And while Spock’s magnetic pull with Kirk is strong, it seems to much prefer the Uhura unit. I literally had to pry them apart, admonishing, “Alright, you’ve pon far enough.” This incident also made me realize that I must be in the alternate tableware timeline.

OMG! These are SO NOT saltshakers
By Joanna Daneman, June 12, 2013
If you are a Star Trek Original Show (TOS) fan you KNOW what’s going on here. Clearly, Korob and Sylvia from the planet Pyris VII have been at it again. Using a matter transmuter, Sylvia previously changed the Enterprise into a very decorative keychain fob and heated it over a candle. Everyone inside the Enterprise was remarkably oblivious to this monumental transformation. (Hey, anyone look out a window? Look at the fat lady the size of a solar system! That ain’t right!) Well, they did feel a bit warmish—isn’t it getting a tad hot in here? What in hell is going on with climate control down in Engineering? There is NO WAY these figures of Spock and Kirk are saltshakers; what a joke. As if anyone on the Enterprise needs a saltshaker. Ha!! Everyone knows you just tell the replicator to add 10 milligrams of sodium chloride to the Andorrian Goulash. That’s right. I’m sure by now you realize that these “shakers” are really Spock and Kirk, and they’ve been miniaturized by the evil Sylvia and her minion Korob for their evil plans. If you do order these, I suggest you find the matter transmuter and take control (it’s been described as a jeweled necklace around a cat’s neck). Then you can rescue the captain and his first officer and get the Enterprise back on course. So start by looking around. Any cats? Any of them have ornamented collars? Oh! Look, there’s one! Grab it! Oh, just a vaccination tag, sorry. Moving on. Here, kitty, kitty!

Nice Design with One Major Flaw
By Shay Lorseyedi, June 11, 2013
I would have liked this product except the pepper shaker is Spock and salt shaker is captain Kirk. Salt is obviously the more logical condiment choice, so why not make Spock the saltshaker? I’d also say that Spock more easily melts in your mouth, and Kirk has a tendency to get stuck in your teeth. This mix-up prevents me from enjoying my freshly seasoned meals at their full potential.

Sad, so sad
By Peggy L. Frye, June 11, 2013
My husband bought me the Star Trek Magnetic Spock and Captain Kirk Salt and Pepper Shaker Set for an anniversary gift. I admit I did watch “Classic Trek” when I was in high school, but frankly I’ve outgrown it…sadly the same cannot be said for my dear spouse. To be honest, I wanted flowers…in a fit of anger, equal to that of Khan, I painted the Captain Kirk shaker’s shirt bright engineering/security red. The next morning I found that the red-shirted Captain Kirk had somehow been incinerated in the microwave…the poor little Spock shaker was staring mutely at me, a look of puzzlement on his ever-logical face. I feel responsible…remorse, perhaps. I think therapy is in order.
Green Eyes Cat Face T-Shirt
Check out the real thing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077RT3ZM
4.5 out of 5 stars
Name: Green Eyes Cat Face The Mountain T-Shirt, Adult
ASIN: B0077RT3ZM
Price: $17.00–$27.95
After just one wash you will not know where the print ends and the shirt begins. Our unique printing process actually pulls the dye color out of the shirt and leaves the image ink color behind, essentially dyeing the cotton with the ink. The Mountain Classic T-shirt features an oversized, relaxed fit with reinforced double stitching on all seams. After dyeing, it is washed and dried, so it arrives to you comfortable, preshrunk, and ready to wear. This heavyweight, 100%-cotton T will last you years and years.

The Eyes Have It
By George Takei, August 4, 2013
When strolling the streets of LA or braving the subways of New York City, I’m often approached by fans. They are well meaning and always polite, but unfortunately I’m often in a bit of a hurry and don’t have the luxury to chat or pose for photos. For a time, I wore oversized sunglasses, but people often mistook me for Yoko Ono or, more lately, Psy, which only led to more awkward requests to cross my arms and pretend I was riding a pony. So Brad ordered me the GREEN EYES CAT FACE by Mountain T and suggested I wear it whenever out in public. It worked like a charm, at least for a time. People became so transfixed by the admittedly alarming cat print that they were often too embarrassed to make eye contact with the wearer, whom they could tell was, as expected, some septuagenarian Asian person. My favorite response after a particularly long stare was to quip, “Hey. Buddy. EYES. UP. HERE.” (It IS quite gratifying to say, ladies, I admit.) Another was to emit happy meows while stroking my chest adoringly. Nobody approaches someone so obviously one sushi roll short of a bento box. In time, my antics began to annoy Brad. So to get back at me, he cut the pupils out of the shirt. On one particularly chilly evening, I simply couldn’t understand why so MANY people were staring at my T. I saw them squinting and overheard things like, “Are those his…Oh, God!” Brad let his prank continue all night, including through the book signing we were already late for. The fans there got a bit more Takei than they bargained for. Well played, Brad. Well played.

This shirt is the solution to my greatest problem in life
By Samuell, January 8, 2013
All my life, I’ve been afraid of going out interacting with other people. What do I say? How do I act? Are they judging me? This haunted me my entire life…until this shirt came along. Now, I can step outside with confidence, knowing that this shirt will prevent other humans from talking to me. I can go about my life without the hardship of having poor social skills. This shirt is my shield, my protective barrier, my solution. To all the good folks over at The Mountain, I truly thank you.

Meoawesome!
By It’s James T! Don’t call my Jimmy!, August 4, 2013
This shirt is not only 100% cotton, it is also 200% awesome. I was never a cat person, but after putting on this shirt, I immediately became one of the clowder. People saw me completely differently. Living in the big city, whenever I accidentally brushed against someone, there was always an awkwardness. Now my run-ins with folks on the street are met with, “Aw, how cute!” or “Can we take him home?!” I have become one with the night and find myself lying in the most awkward of places during the day. I cannot bring myself to take it off, for fear that I will return to the lowly person I once was. Since I am unable to remove the most awesome garment in the world, to maintain its luster I have resorted to licking it. This has occasionally resulted in me depositing a small ball of the shirt’s makings somewhere near an important access point in my apartment, only to find myself stepping in it later. Despite my new bizarre habits and the occasional need to let myself out, then back in, then back out, I would recommend this shirt to anyone. In fact, I am considering getting even more.

Stick with a bong
By George Takei, May 22, 2013
On my birthday (4/20), I found this cute little green item on my dresser. I assumed Brad had left it for me as a “special” birthday gift. I tried for hours to figure out how to pry off the lid so I could load it properly, but no go. Then the thing started yodeling at me, and I thought, “Well, no more from that dispensary.” Disappointed.

It’s a great portable music solution
By Timboliah PantsOnFiyah “Timboliah Pants on Fiyah”, April 2, 2010
I loaned my iPod to my kid, and he broke it. This understandably bummed me out, since I really enjoy taking long walks on the beach while listening to some tune-age. I’m kinda low on funds, so buying a replacement iPod wasn’t an option for me. I was very fortunate to discover the Yodeling Pickle. I have been super pleased with the results. First of all, as luck would have it, the Yodeling Pickle just happens to yodel all of my favorite tunes that were stored on my iPod. Hits like “Bobbejaan Schoepen yodels the collected works of Black Sabbath” and of course Slim Whitman’s edgy yodeling rendition of “Baby Got Back.” I have withheld one star from my review, however, giving the Yodeling Pickle just four of five possible stars. There isn’t a headphone jack, which is only a problem if the folks around me don’t appreciate yodeling, (which almost NEVER happens). Also, I was accustomed to carrying the iPod strapped to my arm with the elastic armband accessory. Nothing like this is available for the pickle. On my beach walks, I’ve found that the pickle can be carried around by conveniently tucking it down into the front of my Speedo. I’ve met tons of nice ladies on the beach since scoring the pickle. I can only assume they dig yodeling as much as I do. It’s a great portable music solution for yodeling fans. Cheaper than an iPod and the chicks seem to dig it.
