Limited Edition

I see where Omega is coming out with a new "limited edition" watch for the upcoming movie in the tired James Bond series. So, what else does it do besides give the time accurately down to a billionth of a second ... hell, I'm good with "give or take 10 minutes." If it had some mechanism that scooped up the dog poop and bagged it while walking the dogs, I might pay $3,450 for the watch. Well, on second thought, that does seem a bit too much to pay ... re-filling the little bag dispenser would be a real bitch. And since I have a hard enough time with all the buttons on a plain old digital Timex, so much so that I never wear one ... it's analog or nothing (in case you need a great gift idea) for me.

Did you know that there is an organization called NALED, which is the National Association of Gift and Collectible Retailers? I would have thought that the acronym would have been NAGCAR or somethiong like that, but the organization was originally called the National Association of Limited Edition Dealers, of which The Limited Edition is a charter member.

I looked on "The Limited Edition" website and could not find what I was searching for ... I have an item that is purported to be "Limited Edition," which automatically makes it something that I could put on e-Bay, like, y'know, like a piece of white bread toast with Jesus on it, and sell it for a lot of money.

So, I go to the website of the company that makes the thing and I type in "limited edition" in the "Search Site" box and it comes up with "No results found," which is puzzling because I would have to say that if you are saying that the thing is "limited edition," then it's a big fucking deal ... why else would you make it "limited edition?" Just to make some sucker think it's gonna increase in value ... become a collector's piece ...

I don't understand ... so, I went on e-Bay and here's what I found: "0 items found for rubbermaid limited edition."

What the fuck?
