Special Edition!

Oh yeah!  I am indeed the proud owner of a Special Edition.  There may have been other Special Editions in my checkered past but none come to mind at the moment.  This could be a first!

The SE's predecessor slipped out of my hand and went splat on the unforgiving tile floor.  Post splat, it started and stopped, operated at half speed, obviously circling the drain and primed for owner assisted suicide.  I obliged, tossed it into the waste basket.

Went online, checked the usual suspects for a replacement: Amazon, Walmart, etc, seeking (as always) the biggest bang for the buck.  Couldn't believe the number of models - and prices - out there; Amazon had 37 models with prices ranging from $15 to $220.  Gotta wonder about the high-end models: do they do the job better - faster, deeper, harder?  I doubt it.  But hey, they include a branded charging glass with USB cord!  Whoop-de-freakin'-doo!

Ended up going to Walmart which had 8 models in stock, $25 - $190, including aforesaid USB model.  And, the SE.  Wow!  Special Edition!  In stock!  Only $40!  Tossed that puppy into the cart and boogied on to toilet paper, coffee filters, bananas, blah, blah, blah.

Okay, I've made you wait long enough.  Here it is.  Eat your heart out!  You may be wondering what makes the SE so S.  Me too.  Looks exactly like the one I gave Trish for Christmas except for color; her's is blue.

Yep, it's a Sonicare toothbrush, been using them for decades, great little machine except for the built in dumb-ass features: beeps at 15 seconds, stops at 1 minute.  Those irritating features may be helpful in training a 5-year old but I'm a 2-minute kind of guy.
