Commented on Brilliant self-contradictory quote from President Bush
We're going to miss these gems come January 20th. If you can pretend that the last eight years were not a presidency and instead were a federally funded piece of dadaist performance art, I've found that your blood pressure doesn't...

Commented on Report: Atari sues game site for publishing review without permission
Wow! Who knew that these game publishers would take a page directly from the White House press strategy! Wired asked one editor why they comply, and the answer was direct and to the point: because his writers were in danger...

Commented on Home movie from 1962 Seattle World's Fair
You know, if time travel was available, this is the place I'd go and the time I'd choose. The Century 21 Exhibition in Seattle was probably the purest expression of American optimism we would ever see because it was all...

Commented on Daniel Clowes' "Mister Wonderful" free PDF download
Great post for SAD (Singleness Awareness Day). What Marshall felt in this story was so uncomfortably close to how I feel at times that I almost cried in my cube while I read this at lunch. Dan Clowes is a...

Commented on Driver blames pterodactyl for crashing into pole

Commented on Driver blames pterodactyl for crashing into pole
And that's why I moved away from Eastern Washington to Seattle - it's not the pterodactyls that'll getcha; it's the drunk, dirtweed smoking tweekers that'll do you in....

Commented on Record industry practices revisionism about music recording
Actually, I should have said Sony/BMG where I wrote "major labels". As all of you smart cookies out there (smarter than me, anyway) already know, 3 of the big labels do distribute DRM-free tracks on a limited basis. I still...

Commented on Record industry practices revisionism about music recording
We just need to make sure we protect ourselves from a legal standpoint long enough for the major labels to die. It's going to happen sooner than we think. I just read an article saying that CD sales during the...

Commented on Cutaways of Fantastic Four's Baxter Building
So Sue and Johnny commute from the suburbs? That could be an interesting train ride. "Attention passengers! There will be a slight delay this morning as Galactus has decided to devour Earth, starting with this rail line. We apologize for...

Commented on Evel Knievel in LA Weekly
I remember that back-cover comic book ad for Evel Knievel's line of toys vividly. I eventually conned my parents into getting me the Stunt Cycle, Stunt Chopper, and the Sky Cycle. Never was able to get the Scramble Van, though....

Commented on Costco's funeral department
@GARYINMIAMI: I believe it's against the law in most states for a funeral director to prevent you from providing your own casket, other than to stop you from using one that doesn't meet jurisdictional standards. (No popsicle stick and macaroni...

Commented on Costco's funeral department
Actually, Costco has been providing caskets and urns for a couple of years now. As to the question of whether a casket is expedited or shipped standard, Costco is marketing to people who are realistic about death and its inevitable...
