I thought I'd share this story because my friends really got a kick out of it.

The other night I decided to take one of my wife's Ambien so that I'd sleep soundly. I then proceeded to browse the Web on my Amazon Kindle until I fell asleep.

In the morning I had a vague recollection of dreaming that I ordered a $300 assault phaser from Amazon. Thinking nothing of it, I went about my morning routine and checked my email prior to going into work. In my inbox I discovered an email from Amazon.com confirming my order! In an Ambien-based stupor I went online and bought a $300 prop-replica assault phaser. So, I immediately sent a cancellation request. Later that day I received an email that my order had shipped. I guess I'll be the owner of THIS.

    I have a Master Replicas Assault Phaser. It's one of my favorite pieces in my Star Trek collection. When they first came out they were $500. I bought mine on Ebay about a year and a half ago for around what you paid.

    I knew there was a warning about sleep walking in the commercial, but sleep shopping takes the cake.

    That's my favorite phaser of all... I wish they were in the game to go with my WOK uniform...


    Gratz! And I'm jealous.

    Well, I've got to say it's much worse than the other night my buying a hundred dollars worth of cryptic points because I was zonked out on an anti-anxiety pill before bed. (I'm sure Cryptic encourages this behavior due to enlightened self interest.)

    But not as bad as the PC I ordered two weeks ago because it was 30% off. And then added about fifty percent more to its price in additional goodies. It's a thousand dollars and I can't even vaporize anyone with it.

    ...Unless I install Star Trek Online... Hmm.

    If anyone knows where I can acquire one of those kick@ss phaser rifles they used in First Contact, please let me know - and then show me what an "Ambien" is so I can use this same excuse.

    If your Wife is a trekkie, hide it until her birthday/anniversary, and then give it to her.

    Hahaha. Yeah. That's an excuse that'll only work once though. I should have saved it to buy a new computer! :D

    I received the phaser a couple of days ago. It's really neat. The magazine in the handle is the battery pack, and like a real semi-auto handgun, the phaser has a magazine release and slide release switch on it. Very detailed. If you have some ambien handy, and Amazon up your your computer, I recommend it! ;)
