• Commented on Yeti Kong t-shirt
  (In after the usual Gama-Go "it's too expensive" post). FWIR, these guys actually make their own stuff (do their own embroidering, etc) and pay their employees living wages. If you want $4 Chinese sweatshop t-shirts, there's always Target/Walmart/etc....
• Commented on Fake receipt printing service
  A lot of retail stores use receipts that have ultraviolet text or logos (usually the store's name) tiled in the background or a similar watermark to prevent exactly this sort of thing; the generic printer this service uses doesn't replicate...
• Commented on The Art of Living Dangerously
  I knew this would turn into a "hey everyone, let's question the validity of this observation since it doesn't fit in with my way of thinking" thread. As an aside, if you guys want to see some REAL vicious kneejerk...
• Commented on Boing Boing t-shirts
  @David Caroll Umm... I'm pretty sure free USPS shipping only applies to the US....
• Commented on Smoking Smarties candy
  Kids these days... On a semi-related note, I've always wondered if caffeine (which can come in powdered form) can be "rocked up" like cocaine and then smoked. At least then I wouldn't have to buy Starbucks coffee or drink diet...
• Commented on Insane "Tim and Eric" moment
  @mintphresh "...robot chicken kinda rocks too." Ugh. Stopped reading right there; you cannot be taken seriously any more. Someone else posted that Tim and Eric's humor is for people with Asperger's; then Robot Chicken is for people with ADD. (The...
• Commented on Laugh Out Loud Cats book signing in LA this Saturday
  Regarding "Caturday", they already acknowledge in the title that they're selling out; no need to mention Caturday or 4Chan, (where this meme originated) as that'll only piss them off....
• Commented on Tough geometric brain teaser
  "FWD:FWD:FWD:Fwd:FWD:LOL CUTE LITTLE PUZZLE HAHA" Grandma, stop sending me these. (and the bottom one isn't a real triangle)...
• Commented on Apple gets into the book-banning business
  *crickets chirping* The cult of the shiny products doesn't like to talk about the bad stuff they do. God forbid it was Microsoft that did it, though......
• Commented on Freakin' Friday's Silver Lining
  Great story. The sad part of this economy is that much (most?) is based off "consumer confidence", and so bullshit stories like that need to be fabricated in order to coax some people into an "everyone else is doing it!"...
• Commented on Video of exotic fruits and the obsessives who hunt them
  Oh, persimmons. My mom has two trees in our house in California... but I always hated them as a kid (they kind of make your mouth dry). Now I can't get enough of them....
• Commented on What do you call the shop on the corner?
  We say "Marketa" in Mexico. (At least the part where my parents are from). As a result, in our lovely California ghetto, "Market" or "Liquor store" is the common name for these places. They say "bodega" in New York is...
• Commented on Gabe & Max's Guide to Man Style #2: Beauty Tips
  Looks like a sketch from "Tim and Eric Awesome Show: Great Job!"...
• Commented on Tortoise hates cats
  This would've been way funnier if they added the scary "Jaws" music when the turtle was on the attack....
• Commented on Body armor developer shoots himself (video)
  @WiredEarp You're right about that. During college, I worked part time as a grave shift security guard. Around the corner was a pizza place and every single night I'd have their delivery cars racing down the (residential) street and slow...
• Commented on Eveready Harton: world's first porn cartoon character?
  @Wareq, Registrado You are the cancer that is killing boingboing....
• Commented on Little Brother, New York Times and Booksense bestseller!
  Gotta agree with the rest of the folks on here, this cover is approximately 10,005 times better (maybe 10,006!) than the original....
• Commented on Sweet stop-motion video of paintings on public spaces
  The video says that no "commercial websites" are allowed to post the video. Doesn't boingboing count as a "commercial website" since they have ads and sponsors? (just wondering)...
• Commented on Einstein: Religion is "childish," "primitive"
  "OK, so that's Einstein's take on it. What happens when the next Newton or Da Vinci comes along, and he happens to be a Scientologist? Oops." (facepalm) Only trolls are this obtuse on purpose....
• Commented on Craftsman's $8600 everything toolkit
  I'll take the old "made in USA" Craftsman tools over this cheap Chinese garbage any day. Back in the early 90's I used to think my dad was weird when he'd buy old Craftsman tools at yard sales and flea...
• Commented on HOWTO kill/block an RFID
  If you're going to smash the RFID with a hammer, make sure to place a towel over it so you won't leave crosshatch indentations on the passport....
• Commented on Gama-Go hoodie sale, including Boing Boing hoodie!
  Oh great, another "gama-go" thread. "their clothes are too expensive! waaah! I can buy 100 shirts at Walmart for the same price!" What people don't seem to realize is that their stuff is made in the US, not in some...
• Commented on Google + Branson team up for Mars = Virgle
  APRIL something something... -_-...
• Commented on US Peso deathwatch: Thai tailors switch to advertising in Euros
  @Deoh "Don't forget Bret, boingboing being the absolute center of the universe is the most important place to 'push' our propaganda ever!" Settle down, sweetheart. You act like corporations don't pay unscrupulous individuals to make multiple accounts at top sites...
• Commented on Raccoon takes cat's food: video
  That little bandit better not try that with my cat. I'd put a few couple copper tops right into his rabies-infested skull. Bullets are only 12 cents each, rabies shots and and a few trips to the vet are a...
• Commented on Infomercial for foot pads to leach toxic compounds from body
  Damn skep, your logic-fu is strong. If I were "Antinous", I'd be in the fetal position right now questioning anything and everything I'd ever believed in. If I were Antinous' best friend, I would deny that I knew him after...
• Commented on Raquel Welch: Space-Girl Dance
  Damn, I never realized how hot Raquel Welch was @_@ I really dig that 60's look. Very sexy....
• Commented on Man gets disorderly conduct charge for writing vulgar message on check
  I once got a ticket for parking too long at the public library (longer than 1 hour). When I mailed them the money order, I made it out to the "Porking Enforcement" division, intentionally misspelling "parking" as my form of...
• Commented on Scribbly doodleblog
  @EvilTerran I thought it was funny. Seriously, Crumb? "can't read the handwriting" of a daily comic written on a wacom tablet? Kind of a d-bag post, don't you think?...
• Commented on Robert Williams's new web site
  I have to agree with Billy, even though I don't agree with his D-bag tone. I have two issues of Juxtapoz from 1997 where Rob't and Coop were featured back to back, think. There's definitely more (and better) art out...
