• Commented on Spectacular slow card-flourishes from Dimitri Arleri
  Couldn't even make it until the last trick people are talking about. The camera work is terrible, and soooo many edits. Cut in some scenes of semi-nude women wearing masks making out, and you have an episode of The Red...
• Commented on Toy truck craps out domino runs

  Cool, but I wonder how long before the tree outgrows that tiny opening....
• Commented on Animated video for Flairs' "Trucker's Delight" (NSFW)
  I never knew there were so many church ladies here at boingboing. They're scarred for life by seeing animations of bodily functions. I think there's an animation of Steamboat Willy in yesterday's posts for those that are traumatized....

• Commented on Two guys who travel the US making free and awesome commercials for small businesses
  @jonathon levy The two fellas who made this are the real deal. Watch "the making of" this vid and you'll see how it this took shape. I've had the pleasure of working with Rhett and Link, and I can assure...
• Commented on Wee English church rebuilt on 22nd floor of Osaka tower
  Oh! It was measured with lasers!...
• Commented on Soviet war painting gallery
  Looking at this painting, what strikes me is how the artist is making darn sure that we know this guy didn't live through this- "Maybe viewers might think that he's only unconscious, and he could survive the fall? Hmm...I know,...
• Commented on Sf for young readers booklist
  I was thinking the same about the cover WaylonWillie (not that I've ever read the book). Is that style style of illustration a "retro" kind of cool now?...
• Commented on Eyeball matrioshke
  After reading the other comments, I signed in to say that I wasn't thinking about a phallic resemblance. I find myself somewhat strangely proud of that (Not that there's anything wrong with thinking "phallus" when looking at one eyed nesting...

• Commented on Jedi says Tesco discriminated against him
  A corporation that displays a sense of humor? It's like a computer becoming self-aware. We are in a new age....
• Commented on Did Google Street View spot rapist/kidnapper Garrido?
  I'm pretty sure he'd have to be in the van already at the time the google vehicle passed, so it's not like he ran to his van to make chase. I could imagine that he could have been curious and/or...
• Commented on HOWTO defeat the Klan with humor and bravery
  Oh geez, the audience isn't laughing at the klan's attempts at demoralizing the Reverend, they are laughing at the jokes the Reverend is saying in response....

  Awesome....
• Commented on Dutch government tries to stop 13-year-old girl from sailing around world solo
  @ #131 Daedalus- Last year in my town, police were called to a house filled with dogs, trash, feces on the floor, and small children crawling around in it. I'm not for the government raising my child, but I don't...
• Commented on Dutch government tries to stop 13-year-old girl from sailing around world solo
  People who think it's a good idea for a 13 year old kid to do this haven't talked at length with a 13 year old lately. They are still kids. Clueless about so many things. Even if she survived, zero...
• Commented on Documentary on the Church of Satan from 1970
  Pretty much a dweeb....

• Commented on The Sweetly Diabolic Art of Jim Flora -- "one of the great overlooked paintbox fantasists of the twentieth century"

• Commented on Love in 2D
  Yes, who are we to judge a man because he loves a pillowcase with an image of a busty 10 year old little sister character on it? Perfectly healthy behavior. Back to your homes and places of business. Nothing to...
