Good 'ol Ben, how I despise you so... and all like you. A red shirt would fit him well.

As I recall it is a pejorative against the Scottish, because the tape was seen as being produced cheaply because it only had adhesive on one side.

This series literally bugs me. A lot.

You wouldn't happen to be a beetle would you?

Ben missed a couple - Xerox and Styrofoam

Dear Bezos Minions,

This isn't in response to your wootcast, but your email that slipped through my spam filters. First off, what is this "affiliate program" you mention? I live in the Great State of North Carolina (Esse quam videri), and I know not of these affiliate programs. Before you recruit more suckers (I mean minions), please check and see what happened to Dear Father Amazon in NY and NC - they either had to cancel their affiliate programs or be declared a shop in those states.

Seeing the email reminds me that we might see many days of respiffied Roombas and pages of Philips products flooding our screen. I have this to ask - I was lucky to win 2 baskets of crabcakes in December - my first ever in 5 years of trying - and the real name was fitting (not sure what I will do with 3 gym bags). But I thought I would at least get a bag with a question mark on it so I could tell someone I was the Riddler?

I don't have interminable shipping delays, but I would love to deliver a message of love (please don't ship my new girlfriend through SmartPost, though).

i really would love to see ben videos every week.

I would too, but there is sadly too much of a good thing, so be careful what you wish for. I must say though, Ben the Over-Literal Dermestid Beetle is my favorite Woot! weekly video, but Actual Real Product Field Tests takes a close second.

Scotch comes in a bottle, not on a roll. It should be called Scott's tape,eh? I suppose one might say scotch tape if the tape TASTES like scotch, however!

I look forward (not really) to a insectoid harangue about how "Dutch Treat" need not include anyone from Holland.

Actually, I believe its because it only had adhesive on the edges instead of all the way across.
