Writer & Cat: Cow Boots

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

Cow boots, no relation to cowboys. Is Amazon trying a new strategy to increase customer orders and loyalty in the wake of the POD morass? Because they took it upon themselves to order these boots for me and charge me for them as well:

I just got a receipt in my email for these and was very puzzled. I mean, really, I prefer these:

And no, this wasn't totally out of the blue so I don't think somebody haxxored my account because I was looking at rainboots...I just didn't place an order.

Maybe Meankitty did it -- her little idea of a joke to imply I am a cow.

Lynne Simpson said...: I really liked the frog boots! If they'd had any Hello Kitty boots, I probably would've had to buy them. :-); 5:49 PM
skootzkitty said...: *LOL* Ok I thought I was the only one in the world with the liking of 'Hello Kitty' that I can NOT explain! :) Thanks Lynne!!

But I must agree - the frogs are better. The cows - so clíche! ; ); 8:08 AM
Lynne Simpson said...: Y'know, Skootz, we ought to have a Hello Kitty convention. I bet we'd be surprised at just how many people would turn up!

It'd sure as hell be more fun -- to me, anyway -- than a writing conference. I've sworn off those things. :-); 6:44 PM
skootzkitty said...: *lololol* 'Hello Kitty Con - for those who have no idea why.' I would almost be scared. I mean if they are like me {biker chick, tatt's, collect big pointy objects for fun} I'd seriously start to doubt my sanity [more than I do now when I go 'OOO H.K!!! How CUUUTE]; 2:10 PM
