Me too on the Gorman/Garman. I'm an embarassment to my children. No super cheap birkenstocks (how did I not pick up on that alone?!) or cool clogs for me :-(
The gift givers are prime targets! I got plenty of emails from Gorman trying to sell me stuff but none warming of scams. I'm going to call the manager!
I got sucked in last winter when I tried to buy UGG boots... top of search and legit looking website. Totally not legit. Had to do the form thing with the credit card company and did get the money back.
More embarrassing, last week, slightly drunk The Streets ticket purchasing via the (again) top search “The Ticket Merchant”. My non-judgemental wife asked three days later if I had the tickets. I did not, just a “promise” they will come before the event... And I paid 50% more than the still-available tickets from Ticketmaster 🤦♂️
OMG, another sleigh full of the most incredible observations and it's not even Christmas.
Bringing the male gaze to bear on the works of Lynch, I can't help but feel there's a certain menace to the "come hither" looks of the maidens. "Tree Woman" in particular looks like she might have a flick-knife tucked in the back of her sarong. Oh, but the abs of "Tina"!. That's more envy than desire, sadly.
RIP Neil. It's hard to explain how improbable the future we now live in seemed at the time, or the fact we even exist. We do have a hint at what Neil might think of today thanks to Jello Biafra and the team at "Portlandia":
Hah, normally I'd sign up to be a foot soldier in the war against Premature Christmas (TM) but to be honest my local shopping center has had a popup Christmas shop for 2 WEEKS NOW. So it's not even the battle that has been lost at this point. I probably just bowed to social pressure.
Very lapse of me to not say how sorry I was to read that you'd been scammed. Yuppie problem though, right? NO FUTURE!!!
I nearly got scammed by the same website! Oh the lure of colourful homewares...
So convincing, but if i stopped to think ...they amazingly had all the sizes I required yet a rat was not smelled.

Not as good at the internet as I thought...
That anti-depressant vs Tolkien game is driving my wife and me insane. Is that the goal?
We had a run of right answers, then faltered. It is maddening.
Same same. Arrgh

I appreciate the sentiment Quentin, but if you use Christmas lingo in NOvember again, I may have to show you my flick-knofe. Ah, yes. Portlandia.
