Re: Reconnaissance Report for Invasion of Sol-III (“Earth”)
Greetings in the name of Ghi’Jk, most holy, from Reconnaissance Cell 54.735. It is with a heavy maazborz that I must regretfully recommend that all pending plans to invade Sol-III be suspended indefinitely. It seems our initial intelligence has severely underestimated the hairy, two-legged native fauna of the planet: although squishy, primitive, and totally lacking any sense of gziiklon, these so-called “Earthlings” appear to possess capabilities heretofore unknown to our agents.
Along with its two-eared, carbon-based inhabitants, each Earth dwelling is also inhabited by a variety of primitive robots, typically lacking any limbs or brain and forced to perform audio and video stunts for the amusement of the Earthlings. At first, our team believed that these slave machines were actually the masters, as virtually every Earthling spends every free moment hypnotized by his or her personal robots. Periodically, the Earthlings are required to digitally manipulate a small device called a “remote” – we assumed the fingering of this organ stimulated the pleasure centers of the robot. Each robot has its own remote, and if one of the remotes becomes lost, the robot punishes the human by refusing to provide the hypnotic sensory effects. The Earthlings, in a perpetual stuporous thrall to these machine overlords, would seem to be easy prey for an invasion by the Royal Gzzurm Battalion of Stuvwxyz-IV.
Or so we thought. When we happened upon an Earthling with a device known as the RCA 8 Backlit LCD Learning Universal Remote, all of our assumptions were upended. Not only does this one remote replace the remotes of up to eight robots, but it soon became clear to us that this Earthling was actually using the remote to control the robots. With this awful realization, we fully apprehended the naked power of the Earthling. This RCA 8 presented a glowing face to the Earthling, letting him know which of his robots was currently under command, and effortlessly compelling the machines to perform precisely the audio or video amusement the Earthling required. We even witnessed the Earthling initiate a sort of mind-meld between the remotes, with the RCA 8 absorbing all the mental data from another remote, which was then cruelly banished to a box in a sub-level of the dwelling. I’m not ashamed to say that this terrifying display of incomprehensible power forced me to empty my kl’mnopq all over the inside of my rkuul’zaak.
Upon a cursory examination, the Earthlings appear extremely non-formidable. They lack claws, gills, and vraanax; their minds are befogged by every kind of immature superstition; their population centers are lawless, hostile, and chemically noxious; their “culture” consists primarily of detailed depictions of copulation. And yet, somehow they’ve created a device that can command a platoon of robots to perform parlor tricks. If these primitive, malodorous animals apply such ingenuity to mere entertainment, we must assume they would exert their mysterious powers even more intensely in defense of their planet. Further intelligence is warranted before any armed actions should be considered.
As for me, I humbly request a temporary leave from the corps. My experience on Sol-III has left me feeling soiled and uneasy. My sanity requires a short period of rest at the sulfur pools of Tramaxidon-IX, with a good stiff bjujn’izaa in hand and a couple of local txoxeeh by my side. May Ghi’Jk in his heaven bless us and ff’ftuul upon us. End communique.

The Woot off is still going strong! Wish I could have gotten in on that 250GB Western Digital Caviar Edition HDD.
Right now they have an iRobot Roomba on there for $150. I have a feeling this one is going to take a long time.

How do you access the woot-off checker, to find out what percentage of the item quantity remains unsold?

:( No, I was stupid enough to take the time to read the description. If I hadn't, I definitely would have been one of the silly people getting just one or two pieces of crap in my bag instead of 3. Of course, I ended up with 0.Stupid telephone.

Really Cheap Audio
We’d love to tell you that this RCA RT2390 500-Watt 5.1 Home Theater System is an elite audio masterpiece and an essential component of anybody’s home theater system. We’d love to lavish praise on its sturdily-constructed, immaculate-sounding speakers. We’d love to assure you that RCA’s legacy of high-quality products is just as strong as ever. We’d love to compare the RCA RT2390 favorably to the sound system at your local multiplex, and insist that it will utterly transform the way you think about home audio.
We’d also love to play second base for the St. Louis Cardinals. Man, that would be awesome.
But we’re bound by reality and the Federal Trade Commission to level with you about the one true selling point of the RCA RT2390 System: it’s a really cheap way to get 5.1 surround sound. Yeah, it sounds decent thanks to 5.1 Dolby Digital, ProLogic II, 100-watt center channel and subwoofer, and 75-watt satellites. It’s got loads of inputs for your home theater components, and it doesn’t look half-bad.
But the only way you’ll get 500 watts out of this thing is to endure an awful lot of distortion along the way. And yeah, the RCA name has changed hands so many times that it’s basically meaningless (sorry, Nipper). If money is no issue – if, say, gold runs out of your nose instead of snot, and buying a better system is just a matter of honking a few extra droplets into a Kleenex – you should probably go buy something else. Those of us who produce regular old mucus will have to be content with a semi-decent surround-sound system for eighty bucks.
Warranty: 90 days
