I am tempted to order several pairs of shoes from Zappos with the intention of returning all but one or two. Is that morally wrong? It feels wrong.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think that's wrong.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've done that. It doesn't necessarily work out the way you think it will, but I don't think it's wrong.

I feel like I'm abusing Zappos' trust. This is like that honor code shit they pull at schools, isn't it?

They seem to fascilitate that kind of shopping (sorta like trying on shoes in a store, but, you know, internets) simply because it is in their best interest. You wouldn't buy a shoe from them if it was a pain in the ass to return if it didn't work for you: you'd go to a brick&mortar.
I think someone just farted in the ventilation system. Uhg.

Oh, look. I think I'm a half hour past the deadline for ordering, if I want my shoes in time for the cruise. Hmph.

I'm pretty sure Zappos is playing the odds that you'll like more of the pairs than you expect to and/or won't bother returning some, thereby buying more than you had planned.

So the good news is that I got a look at my book cover.
Hec, they don't need to make the text smaller, just narrower. Narrower text has GOT to be better than these options.

I just went to check on how my representative voted on the House hate crimes bill and then I remembered I don't have a representative anymore.
At least my used-to-be-mine representative voted my way.
