• Commented on Gorilla-viewing glasses prevent eye-contact
  Those are kinda creepy. Do they have different colors for different skin tones?...
• Commented on La Pequeña Hillary Clinton
  At least she didn't bring Machine with her this time....
• Commented on Six-word memoirs by writers famous and obscure
  This hurts more than I thought....
• Commented on Hamster's Lunch at Coco's in Los Angeles
  Unless all you guys are going to start chipping in to support BoingBoing and keep it up and running (I'm talking to you, people who paid all of $0 for In Rainbows), just move along and let the rest of...
• Commented on Worst food in America: Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing
  Almost as bad as the Steakhouse Scrambler my boyfriend got at Perkins. Picture it: a bowl of scrambled eggs and fried potatoes topped by steak strips, sauteed mushrooms, beef gravy, swiss cheese and hollandaise sauce. AND it comes with pancakes....
• Commented on What's hurting newspapers
  I don't read the paper because I live in a freaking backwater town where a guy tilling a proposal to his "girl" is considered front page news, but whatever's going on in the Iraq plays second fiddle to whatever the...
• Commented on Vet's animal euthanasia blog
  As a tech who has not only had to be present for many euthanasias, but also on several occasions had to be the one to push the plunger, I can tell you that you never forget any one of the...
• Commented on <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">New</span> Arbitrary TSA requirement: all electronics out of your bag (cables, too)
  The last time I flew was from Milwaukee to Boston and they had me put my laptop and bag in separate bins from my shoes and purse, but my phone could go in beside the purse as long as it...
• Commented on Healthy 29 year old man dies after police tase him
  @ #12 There's only one flaw in your logic, sir. The man in question was not a "drugged-out, violent gangmember with a history of violence against women and police," as you so eloquently put it. He was a person who...
• Commented on Wedding cake clone of bride
  @ #4 I was going to say the same thing. The poor guy looks totally creeped out. I wonder if it's the cake itself that's creeping him out, or the idea that everyone's going to be watching him cut into...
• Commented on Bologna bubble gum
  I remember something similar when I was a kid, but I think it was actually licensed by Oscar Meyer. Maybe I'm just imagining it, though....
• Commented on Case holds stun gun and iPod
  It creeps me out more that there are "pink fashion Tasers" and "leopard pattern fashion Tasers" available. Stylish AND incapacitating! Wow!...
• Commented on Spoiled teenage pageant princess
  @ #6 I find it a little hard to believe that "reality tv is the networks' way of undermining the Writers Guild" when we've been swamped with reality "gems" such as Flavor of Love and Wife Swap for what seems...
• Commented on Adobe Creative Suite fails "catastrophically" thanks to DRM
  My boss at the health food store where I used to work called me in one day to show me a "security error" message he got after installing a Windows security upgrade on his computer. Apparently the program asked if...
• Commented on Netflix and HD: a DRM disaster that costs you your videos and control of your hardware
  @ #14 I agree, Wolfrider. I don't understand how people can not read books in favor of the same old crap that keeps being repackaged and marketed on tv and in the movies. My boyfriend read a grand total of...
• Commented on Topless woman in park used as bait in police arrest
  I have the same general problem with the whole "To Catch a Predator" show. Yes, I do believe we should be arresting pedophiles, but if you read some of those transcripts (the full ones online, not just the edited ones...
• Commented on Pope snowglobes of Vatican City
  @ #3 It's not just JPII who was unimaginative, as you put it, in choosing his papal title. There was Pope Pius X, Pope Leo XII, even Pope John XXIII. It's not like they have a whole lot of wiggle...
• Commented on TSA to punish fliers for facecrime
  @ #7 Lauren O, you read my mind AGAIN....
• Commented on 20-sided die tattoo
  @ #4 Nope, it doesn't make you look geeky. That's the first thing I thought to post too. ;)...
• Commented on Driver blames pterodactyl for crashing into pole
  Maybe it was just an abnormally large bat. A regular sized one would freak out most of the people I know anyway....
• Commented on Pancakes in a pressurized can
  Give it a rest, folks. No one's holding a gun to your heads to buy the dang thing, and there's certainly no banner plastered across the top of the page reading "OMFG U GUYZ, u gotta buy this now, it's...
• Commented on Mountain of puzzle-pieces
  What would really be cool is if they made a 2000 piece puzzle out of it. Vegas could lay odds on how long it would take to drive a man insane!...
• Commented on Hello Kitty for men
  Actually, this makes me want to go out and find them. Kitty is a pleasant reminder from my childhood, but I loathe pastel pink and "girly" colors (and not about to buy those crap Emo Kitty shirts at Goth-n-Go) I'm...
• Commented on Resigning from Napster takes more than 30 minutes
  I am reminded of a recent call I placed to a magazine company in an attempt to try and cancel a subscription. They had this awful voice response system that literally gave me NO option to cancel, just this nightmarish...
• Commented on Mouth eye photoshop images
  @ #7 Whoever said that BoingBoing was supposed to be uplifting and life-affirming? And what does Christmas have to do with anything? That being said, the mouth-eyes are just freakish. I'm going to print out those photos, caption them with...
• Commented on Woman asked to leave Walmart after staying 72 hours
  @Hyperkine - That would be Where the Heart Is, with Natalie Portman. It was a cute little movie, kind of cheesy, but fun for watching as background noise. The book it was based on (by Billie Letts) was much stranger,...
• Commented on Arnold's Fables: What Koko Wants
  @anaxaforminges I don't think they properly clarified this in the article, but Koko is a female. So she's not just a perv, she's a lesbian perv. That's hot and wrong all at the same time....
• Commented on Fake breasts from the $1 store
  You can find some truly disturbing things at the $1 store. Here in backwater WI, we actually saw pregnancy tests on the counter near the impulse buys. I have a feeling they're less like actual pregnancy tests than tiny magic...
