Carlisle 3 Piece Luggage SetCarlisle 3 Piece Luggage Set

The Perfect Way To Pack For Your Staycation

If you’re a free spirit looking for a set of luggage that can withstand the rigors of traveling the globe… well, you’re not shopping here today. Go see if you like what’s at Sellout instead.

If, however, you’re the sort of person who just needs some luggage that will mostly just be sitting in the trunk while you drive, consider the Carlisle 3 Piece Luggage Set. After all, not everyone is going to need the same level of protection.

The Carlisle 3 Piece Luggage Set is made with a relatively durable 600D polyester fabric. That means it’ll do okay, but will certainly show wear and tear faster than those high-end luggage sets. But you probably don’t really… we mean, how often do you… okay, just we’ll put it nicely. A lot of our customers don’t get out much. For most of you, a really expensive luggage set would just really expensively sit in the closet.

A Carlisle 3 Piece Luggage Set, though… well, that might just sit in the closet too. But at least it will sit there so much more cheaply. Instead of a pile of expensive luggage, you’ll have a 25” spinner upright pullman, a 20” spinner carry-on Upright, and a shoulder tote bag, plus a whole bunch of other stuff that you’ll have been able to buy with the money you saved when you chose a Carlisle 3 Piece Luggage Set instead of, you know, something good.

We all know that if you’re the guy in charge of smuggling doctored passports between Microsoft and The Vatican, you’ll be buying a top-of-the-line indestructible Oscar Goldman style briefcase. However, if all you need is a place to put t-shirts on the ten minute drive to your Mom’s house because you promised to watch her poodle during the week she’s in Barbados, the Carlisle 3 Piece Luggage Set is the perfect luggage set for you.

Also makes a great thing for your cat to destroy! Show your cat you love them with a Carlisle 3 Piece Luggage Set! Cheaper than a scratching post! Feels more forbidden! Possibly dangerous to the cat! What a perfect gift!

Corona Clipper Fusion Handheld Multi-Tool – 2 PackCorona Clipper Fusion Handheld Multi-Tool – 2 Pack

...But Seriously

Sweaty puppet caricatures not included

I must’ve pruned a thousand shrubs
I clipped ‘em down to stumpy stubs
And I can open bottles too
Among other things I can do

‘Cause did you see the Woot today?
I bought that thingy right away
It’s just the thing a fellow needs
To cut stuff and to pull up weeds

There’s too many men
Too many people
Facing too many problems
Without this tool that I’ve found
Can’t you see? This is a Corona Fusion

This is the wire stripper
And this here is the bag ripper
Use them around your house, it’s
Amazing you lived without this tool

A Leatherman this ain’t, that’s true
But it comes at less expense to you
And plus it has a sprinkler tool
Which, frankly, I find pretty cool

This here’s a saw
And this here’s a ruler
Hurry, click if you want one
‘Cause we don’t have tons to go ‘round
Dunno why; it’s just a Corona Fusion

Warranty: Lifetime Corona

iRobot Roomba 530 Robotic Vacuum with Virtual WalliRobot Roomba 530 Robotic Vacuum with Virtual Wall

And It Wouldn’t Hurt To Grow A Beard, Either

You don’t NEED a closetful of CHARISMA!

You don’t need a TRUNKLOAD of TALENT and you don’t even need any CHARM! Hi! Willie Blay here for CHUTZPAH, the revolutionary new way to do things that’ll change the WAY you DO THINGS - forever! That’s the Chutzpah promise!

How much would YOU pay for the secret to FORTUNE and FAME for those of us not blessed with any special physical or mental gifts? Four dollars? Eighteen dollars? Five billion dollars? I can do better than that: I’m giving the secret away FREE! It’s not like I need the money where I’m going! The secret is CHUTZPAH, a groundbreaking new formula that unlocks the power of sheer NERVE to pave the way to a richer, more confident, and richer you!

It’s all in not caring what people think! Remember this acronym: HGH! It stands for “Haters Gonna Hate”, and it reminds you that some people just LOVE to make themselves look SMARTER by tearing down OTHERS! What do you care what some overeducated copywriter from St. Louis thinks of you? The answer is YOU DON’T! If that guy was so smart, he’d be living in a fabulous MANSION like yours instead of a vinyl-siding shack in St. Louis!

Remember another acronym: RAA! That stands for “Remember Another Acronym”! And the acronym I’m talking about there is ABC: Always Be Chutzpahing! Here, let me demonstrate.

Take a normal, everyday e-commerce customer – that’s you! Then take a pretty typical household product: a Roomba 530 Robotic Vacuum! When you’ve got CHUTZPAH, that Roomba becomes a “full-service household valet”! Its counter-rotating Bristle Brush and Beater Brush magically transform into “two dynamite blasts against carpet-bound crud”! The Spot Clean and Dirt Detect functions? “Advanced artificial intelligence scanning your environment for foreign contaminants”! A minute ago, you were about to fall asleep – now you can’t click that “I WANT ONE” button fast enough. THAT’s the POWER of Chutzpah!

Seeing is believing, am I right? You put in the hours like me and you can be a HOUSEHOLD NAME like me, with the fortune to match! It’s all in the CHUTZPAH! But wait! Call now and I’ll triple my offer at no extra cost to you! No, that doesn’t make any sense – but it doesn’t have to make sense when you’ve got CHUTZPAH! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to move on to another mortal plane. You call it the afterlife – I call it a brand-new market! I just hope they have blue shirts up there!

Transformers 4 Foot Wall GraphixTransformers 4 Foot Wall Graphix

Yet Still Better Than Skylynx

“This is a great place, Jack! I can’t believe I’m in a Transformers bar! Look at that Mega-Size Gamer Graffix Wall Sticker! It’s like, four feet tall!”

“Yeah, I know. It’s great. It’s like you’re really in the room with Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. I’m here all the time, it’s a great place. But Doug, you know, keep in mind that the staff is-”

“I know, I know. Mostly Transfomers. Everything here’s ‘more than meets the eye’. I’m not exactly a novice at this, Jack. I used to have a Megatron that turned into a gun. Hey, I’m gonna get us some drinks. Bartender? Bartender?”

“Doug, maybe you should-”

“Look at her. I gotta go for it, man. You don’t mind, right?”

“Doug, listen, this is a Transformer bar. Transformers. Those four foot tall stickers made from high quality fiber and high resolution printing…”

“Jack, I can see the Mega-Size Gamer Graffix Wall Stickers plainly. They’re huge, you can’t miss them. It’s like the next generation in posters and they can go on any flat surface and are easy to remove or reapply. It’s pretty obvious where I am.”

“Okay, well, you’re my friend and I’m not gonna judge you but… you’re sure you know what you’re doing?”

“Jack, I’m an old pro. She’s totally into me already. I can’t just let this pass me by.”

Okay, well, if it’s what you want… I’ll just go sit over by either Optimus Prime or Bumblebee, then. You go… do whatever it is you think you’re doing. Good luck, Doug.”

“Hey, thanks, Jack! Oh, are these my drinks, babe?”

YOU KNOW IT, SWEETIE

“Listen, I can’t help but notice… are you from Tennessee? Because you’re the only ten I see. Here, I bought this one just for you.”

HA HA HA HA YOU ARE SO SMOOTH AND FUNNY AND CUTE TOO

“Yeah, you too. You’re even hotter than the Mega-Size Gamer Graffix Wall Stickers over there. Say, what time do you get off work? Cause I was thinking you and me could have a little fun tonight.”

OH WOW REALLY I DIDN’T THINK YOU WERE THAT TYPE

“Type? Babe, I’m all about hot bartenders. Hey, why don’t you come out here so I can take a good look at you?”

20” LCD Monitor with DVI20” LCD Monitor with DVI

There’s a certain monitor manufacturer we’ve loved for a long, long time

What’s its name? We can’t tell you. (AWWWW)

What’s in a name, anyway? Some dude once said that a rose, if you called it something else, would still smell the same. Of course, if you called it “Intestinal Stenchweed,” no one would sniff one to find out. That’s kind of what’s going on with this monitor. It boasts respectable specs—20-inch TFT Active Matrix display, VGA analog and DVI-D digital inputs—but y’all don’t care. You just want to know who’s the manufacturer. You’re too brand-oriented in your thinking, is what you are.

You know what chafes our bunions? When we go out on the town and we see materialistic youngsters in t-shirts emblazoned with designer brand names. The reason the brand name has any cachet in the first place is because it identifies a company that, in theory, makes finer-quality merchandise. The t-shirt isn’t finer-quality merchandise. It’s just a t-shirt. But it’s got this name on it, as if the wearer hopes you’ll think he or she has class, or something. That he or she appreciates the finer things. Upscale names. Luxury brands.

We always wonder why, if these t-shirt-wearers are so into luxury, they aren’t dressed in anything nicer than t-shirts.

Anyway, a truly fine item doesn’t need to splash its brand name everywhere. Its quality speaks for itself. Not that this monitor is “a truly fine item,” really. We just got off on a tangent there. But it is pretty nice, especially if you’re looking to expand into a dual-monitor desktop set-up. Ooh, or even triple!

Acer Aspire Core2 Duo 16″ NotebookAcer Aspire Core2 Duo 16″ Notebook

Nice Helicopter, Mom

Hello? Hello? Is this Whoops? I’d like to speak to your CEO, please.

Well, okay, I’ll hold then. Oh, meetings all day? Well, look, my child has just got a job at your little company, and I’ve been doing some research into what goes on there. I think you could use a little help with the Whoops business model. So I got out my 16” Acer Aspire and made a little list. I was going to read it to your CEO, but I guess I’ll read it to you instead. Do you have something to write this down on?

First of all, I think your company should be a bit more empowering in regards to their new employees. I got this idea from the empowering key that’s on my Acer Aspire. All I have to do is push it and this really neat on-screen dock slides down, giving me access to lots of important computer settings. Based on that, I was thinking that if you had some sort of program which allowed new hires to actually run the company for a day, that would probably benefit everyone. I know my daughter would make a great leader. Did you know that, when she was three, she used to line up all her teddy bears and pretend she was the Queen of America? She had this little speech about going to the bathroom, it was so cute. She called it “poopie”. I’m not supposed to tell that story, I guess. But doesn’t it show leadership potential?

Are you still there? I thought you hung up. Oh, you just muted it for a second. Is that someone else in the background? The whole office is listening in? Well, glad to see you’re taking me seriously. That’s an excellent decision on your part. Something else I learned from my Acer Aspire is that a person needs a good memory. There’s 4GB of SDRAM inside my Aspire, and 320GB in the SATA Hard Drive. Let me tell you, that’s just like my daughter. She has a great memory. When she was two, we had a greyhound that she just loved, and she said “Momma, one day I’m going to grow up and marry a greyhound.” And I said, “Honey, little girls can’t marry greyhounds.” And you know what? To this day, if I say the word “greyhound” for any reason, she instantly yells out “OH MY GOD, MOM, DON’T YOU DARE!” How many people remember something that strongly from way back when they were two? She’s amazing, that girl. You really should give her more responsibility.

Hello? Oh, that was mute again? You know, I can tell you were well trained because I can hear you smiling. Did you know people can hear when you’re smiling on the phone? It almost sounds like all of you are laughing. That must be a great place to work there at Whoops. Though you really should have more direct lines of communication. My Acer Aspire has a microphone and a webcam, plus gigabit LAN and a V.92 modem. If you could set up some sort of policy where your employees had the same thing, I could keep an eye on my daughter all day. You never know what kind of trouble children will get into. When she was six, she used to strip down to her underwear and play in the mud out back. Imagine if she did that in your office! The best thing possible is to make sure I’m there to guide her at all times. I got my Acer Aspire specifically for that reason. Why, right now, I’ve got a DVD full of her baby pictures in the Super-Multi drive.

The most embarrassing one? Well, that’s probably the one where she’s in the bathtub covered with tar and marmalade while wearing a birthday hat and crying. The story behind that one is- email? Sure, my Acer Aspire can do email. Oh, really? Employee of the Month? What an honor! Well, I guess I could send that photo if it’s for the bulletin board. You know, I’m glad you whoops people understand the bond between a mother and her child. Why, thank you, I will call at any time with more suggestions. Oh, yes, I’ve got plenty of stories about her, I could share them all day. Maybe I’ll type them all up on my Acer Aspire and get you a copy. Oh, don’t worry, I won’t say anything to my daughter about this. I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise when she finds out she’s Employee of the Month! Thanks so much for working with me on this, whoops. Bye now.

Lubix Stereo Bluetooth HeadsetLubix Stereo Bluetooth Headset

. Either way, you’ll still be decomposing and forgotten in a cold grave before the next tick-tock of the cosmic clock.

The Lubix NC1 provides a convenient, wireless way to drown out our nagging suspicions that we’re merely cosmic dust motes adrift in an indifferent void. Lightweight, smushy earpieces won’t add to our crushing burden of existential despair. A choice of three colors briefly fools us into believing we are agents of our own destiny – the joke is on us when we discover that the headset is ugly in all three. And with multiple pairing support, we can listen to music on one device while taking calls on our phone. You know, in case somebody calls to give our petty and transient lives some sort of meaning.

We may have no control over our fate. But we do have control over our phone calls and music, right there on the earphones. Best of all, four 3D sound spatialization modes bring depth and definition to our digital music. If only they could do the same for our short, tragic lives.

Warranty: 1 Year Lubix

Features:

  • Make phone calls and listen to music
  • Unique pendant-style design keeps the headset always stays within reach without having to always stay in your ear
  • Designed to be worn around the neck when not in use, the two earpieces snap together magnetically, forming a pendant with the cord as necklace
  • Supports Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), listen to stereo music over bluetooth
  • Perfect for the New iPhone 3G S & OS 3.0
  • Lightweight, silicone-cushioned earpieces fit naturally and securely in your ears
  • Multiple pairing support, you can take a call on your mobile phone while listening to music from another device—the headset beeps to notify you of the phone call
  • XEN™ 3D Sound, integrated digital signal processor offers four 3D sound modes for enhancing different types of music

XEN 3D Sound:

  • LIVE: Simulates a live performance in a concert hall with judicious use of reverberation
  • MEX: Delivers a wide stereo sound image while enhancing low frequencies to provide rich, deep bass tones
  • WIDE: Presents a wide stereo sound image and produces a natural, soft 3D spatial effect

Sling Media Slingbox SOLOSling Media Slingbox SOLO

Sanford & Sling

Believe me, being the governor of a small Southern state is no picnic at Fort Sumter. So every once in a while, I just need to drop out and get my head together, dig?

No security detail. No calls home to the wife. No statement to the press. Just a governor and his hiking boots and a pathway between the trees. It’s easy to forget that although I’m the biggest dog on the South Carolina porch, beyond all the pomp and circumstance, even a governor is only a man. Which is equivalent to, say, a medium-size dog. It’s humbling.

The only problem is, how do I keep up with my favorite TLC reality programming? Ask Lindsey Graham: if I miss even one episode of L.A. Ink or Say Yes To The Dress, I get awful grumpy. You don’t want to be on Death Row waiting for a pardon on those days, believe me.

Yeah, I know they’re on in reruns. Sure, I could TiVo them. But IT’S NOT THE SAME.

So whenever I disappear without explanation for days a time, I make sure I bring my WiFi-equipped laptop and hike to a hotspot by the time my stories come on. Thanks to the Slingbox SOLO, I can watch and control my home TV from just about anywhere there’s an Internet connection. A simple interface lets me watch, pause, rewind, and fast-forward my cable, satellite, DVR, or DVD player.

In an ideal world, I’d have even more mobility with the Slingbox iPhone app (sold separately). But since AT&T won’t allow SlingPlayer streaming over the 3G network, you still need to find a WiFi hotspot to watch your SlingBox on your iPhone. Sucks for me, but I’m sure AT&T just wants to keep their 3G network uncluttered. Or they’re working on a competing service. I even called AT&T to see if they’d make an exception for the gov, but they just tried to sell me a cable upgrade. I guess not even a governor can always get what he wants. Like I said, humbling.

Anyway, I guess it’s time to head back to civilization and put a few days in leading my state. I sure hope we haven’t been invaded by Georgia or something while I’ve been gone. But hey, if we have? You guys’ll have to work it out. I’m going hiking at an undisclosed location.
