  #37 Santa Clause was portrayed in any number of colors, no one more common than another. I suppose the different colors could be for your drug of choice...but probably not. Then again, if you want to justify your drug use...

• Commented on Scavenger's Manifesto: HOWTO be an urban scavenger

• Commented on Scavenger's Manifesto: HOWTO be an urban scavenger
  After just last night watching the "Dumpster Baby" episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" I find this post and comments especially hilarious. Yes, you can spend countless hours of your time scavenging for things you don't really need, or...
• Commented on Lovely kinetic baby toys made from reclaimed wood and plastic
  Like most kids, mine have always enjoyed boxes, cans, hammers and saws more than their colorful and trendy toys. Of coarse you could never pry their colorful, trendy and now dusty toys away from them without vicious screams of agony....
• Commented on Kid walks to soccer, neighbors call the cops
  I'm realizing this is such a non-freaking issue. I'm a little slow, but I fell for the hype. There is a minority of soccer moms that are over-protective. It's fun to point at them and laugh. In my ten years...
• Commented on Kid walks to soccer, neighbors call the cops
  Firstly, the story does seem odd. A third of a mile is nothing. On the other hand. How does letting your 10 year old walk a third of a mile, to a location with adult supervision, holding your cell phone,...

• Commented on First Microsoft ad with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld
