• Commented on 2009 Gathering Of The Juggalos Infomercial
  "I want to invite Sugar Slam to be a guest blogger." Yes, please. No typing, I just want some hard-core, in-your-face video blogging. A casual Googling didn't produce any hits on "Sugar Slam." Guess the name was made up for...

  I loved the hosts. That girl was the CORNIEST actor I've ever seen in a promotional clip like this. Neither of them look like what you would see at that show....

• Commented on @BBVBOX: recent guest-tweeted web video picks (boingboingvideo.com)
  Did nobody see him start to bring up his left hand to lay even more smack down? Anyone who walks up to someone and starts in verbally like that deserves to get a punch in the face. Or two....
• Commented on Bosch Cordless Hammer Drill: light, snappy and blows through brick like butter
  It doesn't look like anyone has addressed this but... Drilling in rock is completely different than drilling plastic, wood, or metal. If you drill with a standard drill bit, the job of the bit is to slice through the work...

• Commented on Shatnerquake: bizarro novel about every Shatner character sucked into reality to hunt down William Shatner
  I would like to go on record as having bought this . Amazon makes it too easy to impulse buy and I don't even have 1-click turned on. I told my wife about it, she said, "You don't ever have...

  Regarding irrigation, I went through three or four battery powered water times that screw on to the hose bib. They all ended up breaking due to water seeping into the housing from the valve. These were $40 valves that broke...

• Commented on Legend of "pull tabs for dialysis" lives on
  There is one in my other office building - I want to say March of Dimes or a similar organization. What I don't understand is why pulling the tab off and (presumably) throwing away the can makes sense to anyone....

  I feel like such an idiot... bought a similar watch on ebay for $150... probably could have gotten the same "brand" for $90 if I had waited. These watches from DealExtreme are similar but the materials are shoddy. One reviewer...
• Commented on Bush snubbed at G20 Summit
  But yay Rick Sanchez for somehow still being a popular media personality! I remember watching him on Channel Seven Action News on WSVN 7 in South Florida. He's mostly lost his "media guy" alliteration, that's sad....
