Gather round, Sellout.Woot audience, and listen to this somewhat-interesting-tale. 

Hi, I'm a Woot writer, and I would like to tell you a little anecdote from my childhood. After that is done, I will try to sell you this tablet, OK?

In 8th grade, my friend Matts (aside: "Matts" was his real name -- he was of Swedish extraction which, I imagine, plays some role in its unorthodoxy) hosted a birthday party. Among the gifts he requested was the album "Ænima" by then-popular-among-my-middle-school-set rock band Tool.

My mother, unaware of my quarry, took me to the record store (which, at that time, existed) to purchase "Ænima" for Matts. I brought the CD to the counter and asked my mom to buy it. I'll never forget what happened next: She said, "No."

Now, bear in mind that I had no idea what the word "enema" meant, but nevertheless became irate, accusing her of meddling overproctection. She didn't budge, and I instead bought Matts a White Zombie album. A happy issue to an otherwise sad tale. But it still makes me wonder: What ignorance do I still parade in righteous indignation? How sure am I in my own convictions today? Socrates said, "All I know is that I know nothing," And that is the moral of this tale. 

Thanks for listening to my story. How does it relate to this Asus TF300 T-B1-BL Transformer Pad 10.1" Tablet with Asus RT300T-DOCK-BL Mobile Keyboard Dock, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad-Core 1.2GHz, 1GB DDR3, 32GB eMMC, GPS-enabled, 1280x800, 802.11n, 8MP Webcam - Blue, you ask? Why, isn't it obvious?
