Good Reading

By

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

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

, 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.

3.5 out of 5 stars

Made of high-purity copper wire, it’s designed to thoroughly eliminate adverse effects from vibration and helps stabilize the digital transmission from occurrences of jitter and ripple. A tin-bearing copper alloy is used for the cable’s shield, while the insulation is made of a fluoropolymer material with superior heat resistance, weather resistance, and anti-aging properties. The connector features a rounded plug lever to prevent bending or breaking and direction marks to indicate correct direction for connecting cable.

Great cable, but too fast

By

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

This cable made my David Hasselhoff CD sound like William Shatner! My only disappointment was in having too much of a good thing.

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.
