Dildo of the Month!!!This is exactly what it sounds like! buying today's deal will entiltle you to one adult toy of our choosing every month for the next 12 months. This deal will start shipping in January 2014 and will conclude in December 2014. If you would like your dildos advanced (all 12 at one time) please email as your order number, name of purchaser, and name of recipient. This is a great gift for yourself or someone you care about. If there is a person in your life that is sick of getting magazines, cigars, wine, or a fruit of the month subscription. Try this. The gift of orgasm is there anything better?

A relative signed my kids up for this Jewish Holiday box thing that (1) never actually arrives in time for the holiday and (2) just isn't that well put together, like trying very hard to be a modern yet child-friendly take on tradition but just not connecting with kids at all. But the worst part is that the startup making these (which turns out to be Israeli) claims to offer these for multiple cultures, but the other culture options are "Chinese" and "Indian" as though those are somehow analogues to "Jewish." A very provincial interpretation of multiculturalism that struck me as peculiarly Israeli.

I once downloaded the app since they bragged about having some sort of secret menu on there.
It was crazy.
Secret menu. Achievements you could unlock. And then there were the discounts.
I was earning a free taco with each order, but the catch was that the freebie expired in 48 hours. Like hell was I going to go to Taco Bell even once a month, especially not three times a week.
They know what they're doing over there. Someone will show up.
