As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Then again, the Pope is protected by the Swiss Guards. So why shouldn't the Japanese Emperor be guarded by the Swiss Army.

I love the "Have one to sell?" invitation.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a sudden outpouring of such offers on Ebay?
Well, I've got a few Seiko boxes ;)

My favorite are the "frequently bought together". "We see you're buying some bulk toilet paper. Why not throw in a Speedmaster, Daytona, and some socks?"

Reminds me of my favorite Mitch Hedberg joke:

"An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.""

From a deal I almost posted. I could never get over this (source, deal -- note: final sale, and their description is off):

The black colorway is okay, though (same deal link, above, but not as good a deal):

I think Gemnation may need a refresher on what "Clearance" actually means.

I mean, she can pull those off.
Though she doesn't look happy about it.

I briefly considered bidding on that one. I wonder if the bezel rotates and if so, what does that mean?
