To Clarify
My only financial connection to any service, web site, store, tool, music, book, video, or other item I have mentioned in my Heck Of A Guy postings is that I fork over my hard-earned funds for items I purchase (e.g., books, CDs, furniture, appliances, etc. from Amazon) and services to which I subscribe (e.g., eMusic). And, I pay the same prices available to every other schmuck.
For my recommendations, I receive no kickbacks, commissions, rebates, bribes, compensation, cash, ducats, shekels, precious metals, checks, money orders, dollars, greenbacks, currency (foreign or domestic), tips, dough, cabbage, dinero, lucre (filthy or otherwise), moolah, pelf, vig, sterling, quetzales, lira, pesos, francs, yen, rupees, coin, doubloons, pieces of eight (or pieces of nine, ten, eleven, … ), legal tender, bartered goods, payoffs, payouts, payment in kind, payment of any kind, long (or short) green, gelt, mazuma, scratch, commodities, money under (or over or beside or around) the table, discounts, gifts, handouts, future considerations, remuneration, players to be named later, cash equivalents, or anything else that might go on the black ink side of the ledger.
I am, by the way, certainly willing to be bought; it’s just that no one has made me a reasonable offer (which does sorta hurt my feelings) or taken me up on my unreasonable offers (see Anjani & DrHGuy).1
In any case, I promise that, should such a bargain be struck, you’ll be the first to know.
- OK, Anjani did ship me, gratis, a Blue Alert album, and The Book Of Longing by Leonard Cohen after I said nice things about her singing and salacious things about her, but (1) I didn’t know she was going to do such a thing when I wrote the review, (2) she announced what she was going to do in the Comments (which I understand is considered bad form for surreptitious payoffs), and (3) the book and CD were both dandy but not quite what I was shooting for.
