What’s the first thing you ever ordered from Amazon? (2 Viewers)

Back in the summer of 2005, I had a group of co-workers that told me they had just bought tickets for the premiere of Star Wars Episode 3 at midnight and asked if I wanted to join. Being a young intern at the time living in a new city and just trying to fit in, I decided to go. I had seen the prior movies before once or twice, but never really got that much into Star Wars and really could not remember very much of it, but decided at worst, I will go just for the team-camaraderie/make new friends aspect.

Prior to that, I had saw the previous two prequel entries fairly recently, but as mentioned, I was just a casual fan that didn't really understand much of anything that was going on in the films. So I went with them to see Episode 3, and it absolutely blew me away; I did not remember much of Star Wars from my past, but seeing Vader in the flesh put the helmet on for the first time reeled me in and I wanted to learn more.

On their advice, once I was able to afford them, I bought the original trilogy movies to re-watch them, which I had not seen since I was probably 10 or so years old. Ever since that time period, I have been hooked on Star Wars even to this day, though I’d like to forget the latest two disaster installments.

Cool thread...I had to go back and look at my order history, because I did not have a clue. This brought back a great memory.
 
All the President's Men by Bob Woodward on June 1, 2005.

I had no idea why and just Googled it and it turns out that is the year that Mark Felt finally admitted that he was Deep Throat. So I guess I had a spoiler?

Let's do ebay next, lol

You don't find it the least bit ironic that people lambasted Wal-Mart (who I am no fan of) for killing off mom-and-pop stores decades ago, are now willing to support an entity that will likely kill off other retailers for a bit more of convenience?

Oh, but you can stay on my lawn; I'm cool with that.



Just joshing with you.. but i was curious as to whether it was only Amazon you were opposed to, and have you ordered stuff from other online retailers to be delivered?
 
Fun fact: I have never bought or sold anything off of Ebay, ever.. dont even think Ive ever even created an account there.

Huh. I was pretty obsessed with the thrill of the auctions during the early days and being online to make those last second bids. I checked for my own curiosity and the only options for viewing past orders goes back a couple of years. One of my earliest purchases was probably an external CD burner for my laptop to make sweet mix CDs during the Napster era.
 
We must have switched accounts on Amazon because I only have back to 2010. This was the first order on this account:

Since when was being married a requirement for getting laid?
I don’t know. I just know I said I bought that blanket for my ex step father and then guido asked if the blanket helped Chuck get laid. I was trying to figure out how he was trying to connect the two.
