• Commented on The Coming Apocalypse is Pretty Funny Actually
  2012? Seriously you all need to review your history. Judgment Day was August 29, 1997. At least that's what Sarah Conner said, and if Sarah Connor said it, it must be true. Of course she may have changed her mind....
• Commented on Praying mantis in my backyard
  Do they eat spiders? Seriously I'm living the movie Arachnophobia here. So many spiders...I opened up the 'green' bin of the trash today - what you are supposed to put your tree clippings, leaves, etc in - it was full...
• Commented on Witches on drugs
  All I got to say is in one word: Salvia it's legal, you can buy it in smoke shops. Every drug that I've taken to 'see' or to 'go' to another visual state or mental state have all been a...
• Commented on The Cove director on watching his film with the dolphin hunters
  Come on, let's be honest, the only reason we feel sad about dolphins is because we all grew up on the television show FLIPPER. Admit it, cute dolphin that jumps out of the water and does tricks = NO CAN...
• Commented on Eyeball matrioshke
  I was going with phallic as well....
• Commented on Meet the 42 lucky people who got to see the secret copyright treaty
  Wasn't one of the reasons Obama was elected was for a more open government, LESS secrecy? This is absurd. I don't blame Obama for this, I blame the Culture of Secrecy that surrounds Washington. Most of what Washington does that...
• Commented on Grown-Ups are Dumb! (No Offense) -- fun book by a 12-year-old cartoonist
  wow bitter old people with no talent ripping on a 12-year old with huge talent who is still growing up. Grown-ups really are dumb. I'm 42 and in my dreams I wish I could draw as good as she does....
• Commented on Snow kite boarder gets carried away by kite
  What some people do for fun. If the video would have shown him being carried away into the distance and then gone to black...that would have made a helluva movie. OH wait, that was real? Never mind. Glad he was...
• Commented on Big Entertainment's century-long technophobic binge
  As each new amazing technology came out, instead of the Industry embracing each and finding new ways to expand audiences and using the new technology to their advantage - they cover their ears and cover their eyes and scream "IT'S...
• Commented on Rich guy dislikes poor people, wants local kids to "lose sleep" over plan to shut library
  Homeowners associations...true monsters. Surprising to read lots of negative comments about 'poor people' here on BB. Are you seriously trying to propose the old tired adage that because people are poor they are more prone to criminal conduct than to...
• Commented on Robert E Howard collection, HEROES IN THE WIND: revisit your heroic past
  Conan was one those gateway drugs that we all hear about for me into fantasy. Oh and yes the quote is from QUEEN OF THE BLACK COAST. That has always been my favorite Conan story from the moment he thundered...
• Commented on Quickdraw Noir, by Merrill Markoe
  Maybe it's just me but why would someone want to go and ruin a perfectly good Quickdraw McGraw cartoon. This kind of thing only works for me when it's something I am not familiar with I suppose. Yes yes M...
• Commented on Love-hymn for hardware-hacker-heaven in Shanghai
  This is very cool. On a side note and more importantly, BOOM BOOM POW!!!! - wow nice re-design of BB. I thought I was on the wrong site - lol - twice! Keep up the great work as always....
• Commented on Proceedings of a 2003 seminar about Timeship, a visionary project designed by Stephen Valentine for storing the frozen remains of people awaiting reanimation
  This seems positively morbid considering what happened to poor Ted Williams. Ted Williams can't get a break hah....
• Commented on @BBVBOX: recent guest-tweeted web video picks (boingboingvideo.com)
  No more Djarum Black clove cigarettes? This is fucking stupid. I HATE regular cigarettes, I can't stand the taste of them, I hate smoking them. If I'm gonna be out with a bunch of friends smoking or at a house...
• Commented on Apple 1984 ad, updated for 2009
  My first computer was an Apple II Plus. I was a huge Apple fan. Now they are the big bully on the corner that you try to avoid at all cost, but every street you try to cross to avoid...
• Commented on Can't Take It With You - A Landmark Muslims in America Photo Exhibit
  This is why the greatest human culture in the history of humanity, western civilization of the last 500 years is going to vanish. A soft surrender to our enemies, by accepting and embracing their belief systems, tolerating their belief systems,...
• Commented on D&D camp, circa 1982
  I'm sure those calling those in the pic NERDS or GEEKS or virgins are being sarcastic since, well, look what website you are commenting on to begin with. NERDS! NERDS! NERDS! NERDS! It made myself and my parents laugh back...
• Commented on Bravo Gustavo, an excuse to wave your iPhone around like a conductor's baton
  I don't know if I want to cry or scream....
• Commented on D&D camp, circa 1982
  This is so cool. The picture reminds me of 8th grade. I went to Oak Middle School in Los Alamitos. In 1981 one of our science teachers, Mrs. Gilbert, was the sponsor of our Dungeons & Dragons club. The picture...
• Commented on The American Burqini, and modesty throughout the ages.
  I had a long rant but what's the point. Women in a free society can wear what they want as long as it is their own decision. What this truly shows is the hypocrisy and final death throws of the...
• Commented on Notes on an attention economy
  The Attention Festival...kind of sounds like the internet to me....
• Commented on TIME on unsustainable farming practices
  I whole heartedly agree that America's fast food mass consumerism diet for the average american is unhealthy. That being said if one takes the time to actually go to the grocery store, buy food and eat a well rounded diet,...
• Commented on Continental imprisons 50 passengers overnight in grounded plane with no food, overflowing toilets
  When I first read this story earlier this morning I was thinking of the Emergency Exit escape route also. This is absolutely insane. Since when do we lose our supposed rights once we enter an airport and an airplane and...
• Commented on Michael Jackson wanted to make "Spider Man" movie, says Stan Lee
  I agree Bat. Spider 3 was wrong in every way, especially the use of Gwen Stacey. If we are talking Spider-Man and "What if..." What if James Cameron had actually made the Spider-Man movie he was planning on making with...
• Commented on Bill Maher: Birthers must be stopped
  'It's finally over, the house unanimously passed a resolution affirming (among other things) that Hawaii is the real and true birthplace of Obama.' Just for the record, just because the House passes something unanimously has no baring whatsoever on the...
• Commented on Cremation urns that look like the dear departed
  Seriously though this is a bit creepy. Imagine having your mom and dad's ashes in two head urns on the mantle, watching you, day after day. Soon enough you'll imagine their eyes watching you, giving you looks of disapproval. Soon...
• Commented on Nicholson Baker on the Kindle
  Just because you have all convinced yourselves that you enjoy reading books on your Touch, Kindle, I-phone - whatever wonderful new techie device you've been led to believe you HAVE to own - everything good and wonderful is tossed aside...
• Commented on Time-lapse footage of Disneyland's construction, for the first time
  My uncle was at Disneyland opening day. He was a huge Disney fan. I have pictures of me at Disneyland in 1968 before I was even 1 years old. In my single digits I'm sure I went to Disneyland hundreds...
• Commented on Artist Heidi Cody and her grocery store mascot mutiny
  HAHAHA you need to watch the video where she talks about the Cutty Sark, that's some funny shit, although I have a headache now listening to the Heidi 'pirate' voice. Still funny....
