How are you funding this? Is someone in your neighborhood missing a package that UPS shows as “delivered”?

I’m sitting this one out. I’ve already got an echo, and still don’t know how to use it. The only thing it does is turn the tv on and off.

Whoever wins needs to be obligated to teach me how to work the damn thing.

You're the natural to win this, J won the pullover.

I don't know if I should enter this one. I'm afraid Siri would think I'm cheating on her. We've developed a very close relationship and I'm not going to lie, the sex is fantastic!

This is Ox's plan to spy on you. It'll sure be interesting to see who wins this one.

That's odd, my friend has the same name. She can murmur in many different accents which keeps things interesting.

I've had an Echo for years, and they are worth the purchase just for the music alone. They sound fabulous.

The winner will have it shipped directly from Amazon to them.

I have an Amazon echo that just sits unplugged in my office. I don’t trust it. Only used it for about a week.

I have an Echo sitting in the garage unable to start. I need to clean the carburetor.

Good Christ.

I think I'm just going to yank this one.

No you shouldn’t. A lot of people love the Amazon echo. I just haven’t liked mine because it comes on and talks randomly throughout the day. But I know a lot of people that absolutely love it. You can run your Amazon fire TV, play music, and for the week that I did use it I connected it to a Phillips lighting system and I could dim, turn on, and turn off lights in my house on command.

If you don't want yours I'll happily take it off your hands. I'll PM you my address.

I told my wife that I wanted to send it to you. And she said “no. It belongs to your son. And then my son said to me I’ve been trying to use it but it hasn’t worked (because I disconnected it from the router).

My life sucks.

For crying out loud, plug it back in for the boy. I promise you the men in the black suits will not be listening in.

Me and my conspiracy theory prepper buddy definitely go out in the yard once we have a few beers and get to talking.

 

[Durfish]

Sure, what the hell. My security clearance is good for another three years and I retired from the Navy. Bring on the home invasion!

 

[oxrageous]

For any of you twerps who have Amazon Prime, this thing is even more useful. There are literally millions of free songs that come with your Prime membership, and this sucker can play them on command.

By the way, I’m highly considering pulling a name out of a drum for these raffles on YouTube live. What do you think?

It’s just so anticlimactic to have the computer randomly spit out a name.

I did many giveaways and raffles on the gun forum. I always used you tube to draw my names. I use a brass tumbler to mix up the names. It makes it more fun.
