Man, why must you link the Arbys thing today. Don't you know it's Ash Wednesday? Why must you do this to us? WHY?!?

1&1 is a ripoff, they provided unreliable service, and after promising to refund it with one month extra they backed out. I refused to renew monthly hosting with them after that and they stole three of my domains. Never go with them!

-Joshua Davis

Whoa... tactical pants... my mall ninja outfit is COMPLETE!

@Joshua Davis: Also worth noting about 1&1 is that you can't pay by the month, at least not when I had used them. You can only pay in, at least, 3 month increments.
Also, they're sloooooow.

Utility kilt > Tactical pants

@junkmail: You can get a similar (but slightly goofier) effect by tucking your regular pants into combat boots. And then- your shirt into your underwear.
Of course, many people will be laughing at you, but just wait and see who will be laughing later!

@JRB: You have until March 9 to use the coupon :-P

I don't know I would buy these anyway, they're similar to their chicken sandwiches except using their roast beef. Though if they are healthier than the fried chicken patties they use, I could consider it.

The tactical pants look just like the discontinued Dockers Mobile Pants. I loved them; had a whole bunch of extra pairs, but over the years I've worn them all out. Good to see them back, even though at a crazy price (full price). I found the extra hip pockets perfect for my PDA and phone.

My new Bad Pickup Line is going to be "Hey, wanna see what I hid in my tactical pants?"

Woot has been known to sell that USB Turntable for $50

@Joshua Davis: I agree about 1&1. I had a domain with them and began the process of transferring it away prior to them deducting the payment for the next year. However, since they don't provide a way of confirming the transfer in their panel, I had to wait out the five day confirmation period. They billed me and have refused to refund it. At this point, I will no longer do business with them and won't recommend them to anyone.

@JRB: Eat one anyway.

@theblackdog:
I know, but having it sit there today is just a slap in the face.

@Joshua Davis: They've been good to me for the last five years... 99.99% uptime and responsive support. And if you use 1&1 domains, they clearly disclaim that they're included with your package and aren't "yours" per se - so while it's annoying, it's not exactly a hidden term.

I've had a whole of 4-6 hours downtime since I started my account with them... in Dec. 2003.

@Joshua Davis: All I ever knew about 1&1 was that they advertise in Maximum Pc magazine. They have about 14 full page ads, all in a row. Makes it real easy to rip them out and never have to look at them again.

Doh. No tactical pants in black.

Ok, I can have my two turntables, but there's no deals on microphones!

I've jumped on that Nike discount and bought myself some recession proof running shorts.

Comic Book Guy: Yes, finally! I would like to return your quote, unquote Ultimate Belt.
Salesman: I see. Do you have a receipt, quote, unquote, sir?
Comic Book Guy: No, I do not have a receipt. I won it as a door prize at the Star Trek Convention, although I find their choice of prize highly illogical, as the average Trekker has no use for a medium-sized belt.
Salesman: Whoa! Whoa! A fat, sarcastic Star Trek fan. You must be a devil with the ladies.
Comic Book Guy: Hey, I... [sighs] That... Oh...
Salesman: Gee, I hate to let you down, Casanova, but, uh, no receipt, no return.

@Joshua Davis: That's strange. I've used them for years without a problem.

I'm thinking Arby's and ... there's none around here. :(

@kingofmars: I do the same exact thing! LOL!

If they had included a return envelope, I woulda mailed it back to them...

What, no covert tactical khaki kilt? I'm soooo disappointed.

FYI, the coupon isn't actually for the Gap, it's for Old Navy.

@JRB: Agreed, but I ultimately broke down and had a pack of PB crackers after noon because I started to feel faint.

@SitDownNancy_GitEmSteveDave: Just use bottles and cans and clap your hands. ;)

1&1 = SCAM. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SIGN UP WITH 1&1!

They are lowlifes and once you sign up they will never stop trying to charge you. They will never let you cancel. They require you to send in a form by FAX or US Mail to cancel but they always claim they never got that form.

I had a "free" offer from them in 2004 and since then I have had to remove their fraudulent COLLECTIONS entries from my credit report TWICE. Yes, they sent me to collections for $30 that I never even agreed to pay.

Stay far away from these bastards.

@chiieddy: Ion turntables are not even worth $50.

@HIV 2 Elway Resurrected:
I concur. I love my Kilt. I need a Khaki color so could try and wear to work

@JRB: They are great. I had one the day before the freebie was announced.
