On our last day of Customer Service Week, many Zapponians dressed in lederhosen, yodeled and danced the Chicken Dance in a parade around the office to celebrate Oktoberfest one more time before week's end. We have some special visitors today and they were allowed to see the true craziness that is Zappos.com!

Nothing puts a smile on your face or a chill down your spine like a Jack-O-Lantern. In the spirit of Halloween, our Creative Service and Couture team took a field trip to the "pumpkin patch" then brought their prized pumpkins back to the office for the carvin'!

Thanks CS for bumping the festivity level up a notch and for bringing the wonderful, yet strange, smell of pumpkin to the office!

Unable to accept defeat after their pathetic attempt to overthrow the Dev Empire, opposition forces have resorted to dirty underhanded acts of treason and propaganda.

In an attempt to "Spin It to Win It", opposition leaders published false depictions of what they claim to be the Dev Empire surrendering by raising a white flag. These false depictions provide a clear indication of how low they are willing to stoop. The poor attempt at Photoshopping a white flag into the hand of fearless Dev leader Brent Cromley leads one to suspect that they have drafted the children of the preschool next door to turn the wheels of their propaganda machine.

After repeated failed attempts at negotiating a peaceful end to this propaganda campaign, militant factions within the Dev Empire decided it was time to take action and provide a strong example of the consequences of resistance. The action was swift and decisive as small strike squad infiltrated the eastern DMZ into enemy territory and captured Brian K., a key member of the opposition leadership. After being found guilty of treasonous acts of propaganda Brian stood before the firing squad. Justice was served. It remains to be seen if this action has provided a strong enough example to those who seek to undermine the Empire.

Newly formed in-house Zappos singing crew, the Zappettes gave CFO, Alfred, a harmonious birthday greeting today. They sang two special songs before he entered the Dunk Tank for today's customer service week festivities. You can now hire the lovely and talented Zappettes, Alane, Liz and Kathleen to send a special someone not only a birthday sing-o-gram, but a singing telegram for any special occasion or even just because. All proceeds go to the Zappos sponsored charity of the month.
