• Commented on A Klingon Christmas Carol
  I don't think she is. It looks like that bat'leth is about to slide right into her neck. If she does happen to win then she will make an exceptionally fine mate....
• Commented on Spray Paint The Walls: The Story of Black Flag
  Really, Greg Ginn should be on the cover. Nevertheless, I will buy this book. I've been looking for John Joseph's autobiography, but this has just taken priority. What do they know about partying...or anything else?...
• Commented on Slider Stuffing
  Annonymous @19, What you are describing is a slider, but White Castle pretty much invented both the sandwich and the term (although they now have to use "Slyder" as the trademark term because "Slider" has entered common usage). White Castle...
• Commented on Plaices of Death
  Arpreche, Corpses that sit up in the morgue are not dead. They are undead, and as such, should not be eaten....
• Commented on Slider Stuffing
  Great...now I'm not only missing American Thanksgiving, I'm missing White Castle too....
• Commented on Plaices of Death
  Wow, I will eat pretty much anything (I had some nice horse tartare this weekend), but that is seriously fucked up. Even the animals that we eat should be allowed some manner of dignity and mercy. If you eat meat,...
• Commented on Pfizer abandons property it won in Supreme Court housing battle
  I think by bailing as soon as their tax abatement was up, Pfizer pretty effectively demonstrated that they'd been operating in bad faith all along....
• Commented on Pfizer abandons property it won in Supreme Court housing battle
  Recent use of eminent domain for private development has often come about under the guise of "public-private partnership," one of the buzz terms used by the "small government" types who began to have increasing influence over policy starting in the...
• Commented on Space Invader war photography
  "Oh, there goes G in his UFO again...big help he is" "Did you know he has his own mini-fridge in there?" "Whaaat? What a dick!"...
• Commented on On the power of "bhaiya" (Hindi for "big brother")
  Great article, but describing bhiya as a "weapon of coercion unparalleled in Western linguistics" is a bit hyperbolic. All languages involve performative nuance of this sort, and specific terms in which that nuance tends to be deployed. Native speakers tend...
• Commented on Antony Gormley - let's all go barefoot
  Solidarity with the third world? -Hookworm -Guinea Worm -Strongyloidiasis -Buruli Ulcer In Africa, people are literally dying for shoes....
• Commented on Pratchett's "Unseen Academicals" - a gift to Discworld lovers and an argument for the importance of sport
  This is not too different from the actual history of football- for centuries it was a street game until a number of different public schools and universities began to play a more polite version. In the 1860s they created a...
• Commented on Sweet, inadvertent Sesame Street PSA for gay marriage
  ...and was also considered somewhat radical. I was around at the same time as both of these, and had very progressive parents. It is surprising to see more mainstream examples of children's lit from the 60s (a few years earlier,...
• Commented on Sweet, inadvertent Sesame Street PSA for gay marriage
  This was even pretty radical for the early 70s, when a lot of material intended for children would still present marriage as "husband goes to work, wife stays home," rather than two people living together and helping each other....

  I got one of these and it kidnapped my lawnmower....
• Commented on Taste Test: Persimmon
  I love Kaki, but during the season in Japan, they are sort of like zucchini. You can't go anywhere in the countryside without someone giving you some from the local orchard. One time some friends and I were driving down...
• Commented on Wu-Tang album covers redesigned as Blue Note album covers
  Wu Tang Clan ain't nuthin' to fuck with, but in this case I think they might make an exception....

  Um...I'll just be over here, field stripping my blaster....
• Commented on Folk covers of punk classics
  I quite like the cover of "Pay to Cum," although I would argue that "Rise Above" by Black Flag is the best punk single ever (that, or "Ursula Finally has Tits" by the Queers). They should include something by Even...
• Commented on The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook: inspirational kids' science comic
  That is staggeringly good art. Was Geoff Darrow involved in this in any way?...
• Commented on Put This On: web video series for dudes on "dressing like a grownup"
  Actually, the "Canadian Tuxedo" is a three-piece ensemble including jeans, a denim shirt and a jean jacket. Ideally, one or more pieces should be acid-washed, and you can combine with a mesh-back brewery hat, or a t-shirt featuring April Wine,...
• Commented on The Secret of Liquid Smoke
  Liquid smoke may be fine for a smokey flavor, but real BBQ is also about the transformation that the meat undergoes over a long period of smoking at low temperatures. This changes the flavor of the meat in other ways,...

• Commented on Bike outfited with one-cylinder engine
  There's a guy who rigs these together in Toronto, and I've seen a couple in my neighborhood. Not only do they look like they're rigged together with bailing wire and spit, and appear to present a not insignificant fire hazard...

  I already have an account based on the concept of anti-money: massive student loans. :(...
• Commented on Canadian folk singer dies after coyote attack
  I've seen coyotes along the lakeshore trail on the south side of Chicago. Typically they were completely uninterested in having anything to do with me. They do follow small game into the greenspaces of cities, but I think that ones...
• Commented on Arnold Schwarzenegger's coded F-bomb in veto
  I'm going with accident- everyone knows that "kicks the can down the alley" is just the loose translation of an Austrian slang term meaning "performs certain acts of an obscene nature upon a close relative."...
