Dangit! I just realized that I forgot to buy a subscription to PvP The Series before the end of 2006!
had it on my Christmas List, but it was a late addition. My wife already bought me enough stuff from my list, like the Kensington Trackball, “America Alone” and the “Government Manual for New Superheroes“. And when I didn’t get the Homestar Runner merch on my list, I bought the Instant Fan Combo myself. So our spending is all maxed out and I wasn’t going to buy anything else I didn’t get from my list.
But the price of the PvP subscription jumps $10 if you don’t buy it before the end of 2006. And I didn’t. Completely forgot. Nuts.
Oh wait! I just went to the site and it’s still $20. I don’t know if this is an oversight or I missed an announcement about extending the deal. Welp…spread the word, I guess. Just, not too loudly.
P.S. Here’s something weird. Yesterday, BEFORE this post was up, I saw “America Alone” as one of the four books in the ad generated at the top of the site. I don’t believe I’ve ever mentioned that book before…though I have mentioned Mark Steyn a couple times. Still, you wouldn’t think a couple mentions in the entire history of the site would be enough to affect the ad. Frankly, I don’t get how Amazon’s generated ads work. All too often I see an ad for a book called “The Green Lantern” and it’s a Stalinist Russian romance.
