• Commented on Burk Uzzle's photos of Woodstock
  Surrender Dorothy. The weather sucked, the brown acid sucked, and a lot of bands like the Dead and Hendrix, who was exhausted and playing with an under rehearsed band that included a second guitarist(!), did not play their best. But......
• Commented on Janet Klein plays "Tonight You Belong To Me" on ukulele
  I wish there were more clips of women playing ukuleles on Boing Boing, considering the high demand and all. One almost every fucking day just doesn't feel like enough....
• Commented on Web Software Seller Won't Take No for an Answer
  Why not name the company though? It would help people avoid them in the future....
• Commented on Sushi Conveyor video as a single long still image
  Mmmmmm... Raw fish. Blech....
• Commented on Viagra orgy leads to man's death
  I guess he was hard up for the money....
• Commented on How to Get Free Electronic Goods In Japan
  My wife lived in Japan for a year and told about something I haven't seen mentioned here yet. As part of their culture, the Japanese find buying anything used distasteful. They don't have anything akin to thrift shops over there....
• Commented on Roald Dahl's "writing hut"
  I'd always heard he was antisemetic too, bit I agree you can have issues with the government of Israel, but it doesn't mean you hate Jews. Still, if the quote that #26 posted is accurate, Dahl was pretty ignorant to...
• Commented on Kid on Drugs
  Who are any of you to pass judgement on this guy's parenting skills? You can't make a lot of big assumptions based on this video alone. The kid isn't nude, or being abused or violated. The dad has a good...
• Commented on Book about Roky Erickson
  I have this book and I loved it. It is very well researched and a fascinating read about a band that met bad break after bad break. They were absolutely unique though and not motivated by money,fame,and girls. They were...

• Commented on Global Voices' coverage of Gaza Strip Bombings (and how to keep the coverage alive)
  First, there's technically no such thing as "Palestinians". The people living there all came from other countries, mostly Syria. And who knows why their Arab/Muslim brother/neighbors aren't inviting the into their countries. Second, EVERY DAY the last few weeks, Hamas...
• Commented on ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT BREAKDANCING AND FREEMASONRY
  "I may have gotten some details wrong." "But I must have gotten the name wrong somehow." "I cannot say for sure..." I'm looking forward to a more uncertain explanation....

• Commented on Black man dragged to death 200 miles from site of Byrd murder 10 years ago.
  Humanity can be pathetic. How can we evolve our knowledge and understanding of the world around us in so many ways, but still remain trapped in such an "us and them" mentality? We go to the moon, cure diseases, take...
• Commented on Pac-Man as high fashion
  Who actually BUYS these wacky, bizarre "fashion" statements we've seen many times before? No doubt, they are as expensive as they are circusy and non-functional, but who does this stuff appeal to? Someone must be buying these embarrassments or the...
• Commented on Group Sounds (Japanese 1960s music) movie trailer
  It's amazing how much garage and psych music spread all over the world so quickly. It seems like thousands of amateur bands sprung about around the world between 1966 and 1968. And that's a GOOD thing. There was a fairly...
• Commented on The Faith Tones: "Jesus Use Me" LP cover
  #10, it would be funny even it wasn't religious/christian, but the fact that it's got a religious bent DOES make it more funny. Asking anyone, especially a savior, to "use" you just doesn't have the ring it did 50 years...
• Commented on Burning Man Department of Public Works "mugshots"
  #6, I don't think the DPW handles trash. Part of the radical self-reliance philosophy is that whatever you bring in, you bring out, especially garbage. It would be overwhelming to try to handle a week's worth of trash from 40,000...
• Commented on Burning Man art build video
  #2, the fact that you think it's a bunch of naked men riding around on bicycles does, indeed, confirm how little you understand about it. If you don't get it, it's not for you anyway. I've gone five times now...
• Commented on Rock and roll social media
  "Link to one of these terrific recordings on Crowdfire or elsewhere?" I never said good recordings were being made at THIS event. I'd never heard of it before. I only meant that the potential is out there to make really...
• Commented on Rock and roll social media
  Does this mean all the bands have given attendees permission, if not encouragement, to videotape or record their sets and share them with the world? If so, I guess it's a one time thing and not likely to set a...

• Commented on For those about to rock (Cinefamily video)
  Hmmm... Says the video is no longer available. Anyone know why it was pulled or where else I could find it?...
• Commented on Contact lenses for "anime eyes"
  I've always thought anime was kinda hack, with a lot of indistiguishable sameness to it, but I'm further turned off by the Japanese tendancy to infantilize women with things like big wide eyes and pop stars dressed like little girls....
• Commented on Wooden geared contraption and its proud maker -- best gadget video you will watch this month, in all likelihood
  There are so few craftsmen anymore, and many of the ones who remain are older. He's even more special for being able to use his skills so creatively. I don't know anyone with that kind of discipline and tenacity....

• Commented on Critical Mass bicyclist knocked over by NYPD
  Y'all should check out the much more pleasant Critical Tits ride at Burning Man each year. Hundreds (thousands?) of topless women circling the playa along the Esplenade. And they never get yelled at or knocked off their bikes....
• Commented on 6th man on moon says space aliens are real (and have visited us)
  Big claims require big evidence. Heresay and shakey videos are not even small evidence....
• Commented on Did eBoost Media customer service rep call customer a faggot?
  I just googled eboost media and almost every link on the first page has to due with warnings of fraud and scam about their company. I don't know if it's the same woman but I very much like the idea...
• Commented on Flower power/acid house mashup album
  The summer of love was in 1967 and I never heard about any "Love Revolution" in 2008. It sounds like something dreamed up by Nike or The Gap....
