Pretty darn tasty
By Kade D., September 27, 2013
After winning the lottery, the first thing I did was put an extra bedroom onto my doublewide so that we wouldn’t have to sleep in the same room with Barbra Jean’s momma anymore. My next purchase was of this product because I had heard caviar is what the rich people eat and seeing as how I had myself recently become wealthy it seemed fitting that I buy this. I received the product and promptly opened it for a taste of the good life rich folks are always talking about. Admittedly I couldn’t stomach the stuff at first, but after throwing a little Hormel chili on top, let me tell you it was pretty darn tasty. My next purchase will be of that lovely Norman Rockwell painting they have in the collectibles and fine art section of this website.
Not too bad

Goes great with ramen noodles shrimp flavor. I have also mixed it with spam with bacon and spray cheese makes a great ritz cracker spread.

With great power comes great responsibility
By doz70, July 14, 2011
Be very careful with this book. Thinking myself clever, I shaved my dog, then knitted him a sweater using his own fur. I believe this paradox may have ripped a small hole in the space-time continuum. My son seems to be now aging in reverse, causing me to deduct one star from this review. Otherwise a very informative book.

Knitting with Frog Hair
By Bartok Kinski “A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.”, November 15, 2009
While living in the Himalayas, my underpants started to deteriorate. Since no stores exist there, I had to find a natural fiber. I used alpaca hair, sheep hair, and dog hair to weave some new ones. They were sloppy to fit but actually worked; when I got back to Europe I got this book, Knitting With Dog Hair: Better a Sweater From a Dog You Know and Love Than From a Sheep You’ll Never Meet. It was a fun, dead read. One thing I recommend is treating the dog hair in a natural liquid to kill fleas before you weave it, as I was bitten extensively when I did not. Also, it is not humane to remove all of a dog’s hair since he can suffer skin lesions or frost or ridicule from bald Asian cats.

Good Reading
By A Customer, September 12, 2001
I bought this book 2 years ago, and it is still good reading. It gives easy-to-follow instructions on how to clean, card, and spin other animal fur as well as dog hair…and it has made me more comfortable to know that there are others who do this and not that I am just spending too much time in the woods (as I have been accused of by neighbors).

Better than knitting with wolverine hair!
By VictorWins, December 17, 2011
This book is a godsend. All this time, I have been knitting with wolverine hair. It has been a rough time for the wolverine knitting industry, so I thought I’d try something new. After shaving my dog, I knit the gift of a small pillow for my daughter to take to her friend during her Justin Bieber–themed birthday party. I know the pillow will be a hit!

Cruella de Vil’s Favorite Book
By Anthony L, October 5, 2012
Finding myself without aim or purpose, I took a journey of self-enlightenment throughout the Amazon Basin, Northern Tibet, and the Kalahari Desert. I wrote a book called Rot, Freeze, Burn (a sort of homage to Eat, Pray, Love). On my journey, this book was recommended to me by a Zuruahã Chieftain, a Tibetan Shaman, and a Bushman. Each considered it a spiritual sequel to their respective classics: Knitting With Capuchin Monkey Hair, Knitting With Yak Hair, and Knitting with Zebra Hair. But let us give credit where credit is due: Cruella de Vil had the idea first.

Great cable, but too fast
By Matthew Sidor “seadour”, June 23, 2008
Transmission of music data at rates faster than the speed of light seemed convenient, until I realized I was hearing the music before I actually wanted to play it. Apparently, Denon forgot how accustomed most of us are to unidirectional time and the general laws of physics. I tried to get used to this effect, but hearing songs play before I even realized I was in the mood for them just really screwed up my preconceptions of choice and free will. I’m still having a major existential hangover. Would not purchase again.

“Hot Shot City” is particularly good

Solved Global Warming Locally
By Daniel A. Koblosh, June 16, 2008
After I took delivery of my $500 Denon AKDL1 Cat-5 uber-cable, Al Gore was mysteriously drawn to my home, where he pronounced that Global Warming had been suspended in my vicinity. Yes, I had perfect weather: no flooding, no tornadoes, the exact amount of rain necessary. And he pronounced sea levels exactly right and that they were not going to rise within five miles of my house. Additionally, my cars began achieving 200 mpg, and I didn’t even need gasoline. I was able to put three grams of cat litter into the tank and drive forever. What’s more, the atmosphere inside my home became 93% oxygen and virtually no carbon dioxide. In fact, I now exhale oxygen. One heck of a cable. Didn’t notice any improvement in audio quality, though. The $800 Apple iCable is clearly superior.
The use of this cable and its purest copper conductor capabilities eliminate the adverse effects from communication and helps stabilize the transmission when passing through force fields. The cable used on Prototype No.
023 caused the gun to reset itself when passing through force fields. With this pure cable this no longer happens, and the subject can reach his destination without problem.

It’s all in the manufacturing, people! Wake up!
By A. Tanguay, June 22, 2008
I got the 20-page brochure for this cable when I was at CES, and you guys are all missing some really interesting details about this product. Come on people, research!
Did you know that the special, “high-purity copper” is mined by hand…meaning NO tools of any kind…by Tibetan Lamas for their entire lives? Only when these Lamas reach true Enlightenment while digging will that copper be used. All the rest is thrown into an active volcano.
The design for this cable started in the mid 1940s. Denon started the R&D using the best scientists who had just left the Manhattan Project. They didn’t even know how this cable would be used; they just knew it HAD to be built. Albert Einstein himself was rumored to have weighed in on certain design aspects.
The heat-shrink tubing is applied by the heat of the eternal flame on JFK’s grave by a first-generation Kennedy.
The sheathing material is knitted in zero G on NASA’s “vomit comet” jets. Did you know only 4 inches of it can be knitted a day? Yeah, see, you feel pretty dumb now.
Finally, each cable is encased in a gold sarcophagus and flown to the Vatican on the lap of Tom Hanks for blessing by the Pope. Denon’s shipment facilities are just outside of the Vatican.

It’s full of stars!
By S. Mayo, June 20, 2008
If Denon had captured the Divine light of creation and distilled it into 1.5 meters of ultramegaradioactive copper, it could not have been better than this cable. Just holding the packaging it comes in, I can see distant galaxies and, though you may not believe it, hear what the aliens there are thinking. THAT is how good this cable is. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. Honestly, looking at it is better than foreplay. You feel wracking, orgastic shivers just touching it. I just know that zeroes and ones will achieve true integer perfection when they travel this cable. But I’m afraid to actually install it. I might die. Denon has, in marketing this, permanently entered the rarified realm of vendors inhabited by the likes of Machina Dynamica. I honestly can’t think of a better way to express my feelings on this product than that. I’m breathless to see what they want to sell us next!

Do not taunt the AKDL1
By L. Laregina, June 15, 2008
Potential warning to other users: I made the mistake of taunting the AKDL1. I am a battered shell of a man. Though, I must admit, I do appreciate the crisp highs and thundering lows.

The house and the dog, too!
By D. Lew, June 14, 2009
Let’s face it, people. We live in an unstable world. The economy is going to the toilet, housing prices sinking as fast as the economy, consumer confidence at an all time low, and let’s not forget the crazy Kim Jong Il from North Korea and his “new” and improved nuclear weapons. So with all the fear and uncertainty that exist in this world we live in, I decided to purchase this tape to protect my family. I purchased the $500 box of tape because this is just a great deal! What would the US government pay for this? $1,000? $2,000? $10,000?? Certainly not! To my surprise I found out that the government pays $100,000 for 1 roll!!! I figured if the government pays that much then, at $500 for a case, this must be a steal! After receiving the box of Nuclear Tape from Amazon, I quickly strategized how I would tape the whole house. The entire house! It was not easy. It helps when you “pretend” to be injured and are on worker’s compensation. But in any case, it was an arduous process since my house is over 4000 sq. feet. It took me at least 3 days to finish the job, and I must say I’m very happy with the results. My house, instead of having siding, now is a solid light-blue color. I don’t need to clean the windows anymore since there are no more windows thanks to this magnificent tape. Now some people may ask how do I know for sure I have everything covered? Well, I set off a small nuclear warhead in the vicinity of the house, and the radiation detected in the house was negligible. This super-strong tape also helped with withstanding the power of the explosion. I can’t say the same thing for the outside, where there was once a neighborhood. If there’s a hell, then it would probably look like my neighborhood. I urge you not to play with nuclear warheads. It’ll blow your fingers away. Leave that to trained professionals. If you’re buying from Amazon to prepare for the next Armageddon make sure to use your Amazon Visa card and get reward points! Every $2,500 you spend, you automatically get $25 in Amazon gift certificates back. Summary: The tape works. It protected the house and its occupants from certain doom. Don’t tape your whole house if you don’t have time. It might be better to just tape yourself and your loved ones from head to toe.
Product in heavy use inside facility.

Blue tape eliminates red tape
By honeybearsf, January 7, 2009
When we found cracks in the containment structure, we used to have to shut the whole plant down; then there was a lot of hassle with the nuclear regulatory agency about structural integrity and environmental contamination. With this quality duct tape, that’s all in the past. Now, when we see a cracked or crumbling wall, we just bring out the tape. The slate blue blends right in. I do recommend that you use double layers for openings near the reactor core.

Perfect opener
By Paul Bright “Paul Bright”, May 31, 2013
I don’t own a gun, but my hunting friend bought this. To quote: “I love this on my wall. Whe
n I hit the woods for a good hunt, I don’t always get to shoot the deer I see. It gets frustrating. I go home and have a beer. But now that I have the Deer Rear, I can take my anger out and bust a cap in his a**.”

It’s great that we can find such respectful uses for animal carcasses: turn them into novelty items! Customers who liked this also bought the “Grandpa Mike’s Hands” jar opener. He would have loved to see his good grip carrying on even after death.

Great Value
By Mike Creveling, May 31, 2013
I could not believe my luck. I purchased this article thinking it would add a bit of class to the old basement bar. When I received the packages—that’s right, packages—I thought I had been lucky enough to have received two Deer Rears for the price of one. Butt no, they also sent me the antlered head which hangs on the opposite side of the wall. Nothing says class like the surprised expression on that buck’s face every time someone opens a beer. Perhaps an update with optional sound effects? Great value.
