• Commented on G20 protesters blasted by sonic cannon
  You don't buy something and not use it. This probably was the first opportunity they had to blow the new sonic cannon smell off the thing. I mean, G20 protesters? They're like buddies with Al-Queda, right?...

  That is awesome. All they need now is some tinny Journey playing over the stereo for the full arcade effect....
• Commented on Damien Hirst installation owner charges teen art-rival with theft of £500,000 for removing box of pencils from installation
  Those pencils really did tie the room together, though....
• Commented on Random ham radio trollfight audio (explicit)
  If you liked this, Xeni, then you'll *love* XBox Live. I recommend Call of Duty, Gears of War, or Grand Theft IV Auto online play. Hell, even Uno on XBox Live can put these two to shame....
• Commented on Author Michael Stackpole: I don't worry about pirates
  Another happy mutant smiling over Mr. Stackpole's Battletech books. And lest we forget...X-Wing ruled the school. And it's not 'Margaret Atwood'. Her friends call her 'Peggy'. I had an English prof who never let us forget that. "I was just...
• Commented on RoboGeisha trailer is awesome, includes weaponized tempura shrimp
  I think I heard the 'Live and Let Die' trying to climb out of the soundtrack here--but it was obviously held fast by Geishas with Holding!!!...
• Commented on CIA's former bin Laden expert: "The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States."
  I admit I watch FOX News every night. It's like a free ticket to a freak show combined with a car wreck of brushcuts....
• Commented on Twitter in 1935
  The 'Notificator' sounds like a C-List Transformer....
• Commented on Giant Jules Verne diver takes to the streets of Nantes, courtesy of the Sultan's Elephant people

  I want one made of Mexican midichlorians, just to be that much more authentic....
• Commented on Bach played by dancers running up and down the keys on a giant piano
  No fair! She used her hands, which is a strict violation of Giant Piano Playing By Dancing Rule 2112....
• Commented on Ants
  I also adore ants. As a toddler, any walk around the block would take an hour because I insisted on stopping at every anthill in the sidewalk, and watching. Sadly, I have not turned this fascination into being a guest...
• Commented on Craig Yoe reading: "Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-creator Joe Shuster"
  The Happy Ending Lounge? I want to go to there....
• Commented on Was 1971 the best year to be born a geek?
  To be honest, 1965 was the optimum year. I got to see Star Wars--and Carrie Fisher--in the full hormonal flush of adolescence. This crush on the lost princess of Alderaan would then carry through my teen years, culminating in shocking...
• Commented on Star Trek original bridge and action figures reissue
  Must...have. Although, to be honest, I think I spent more hours playing with the first Fisher Price castle. But I geekily digress.......

• Commented on Nebula Award winners for 2008 announced
  Oddly, the only book I read on the nominee list was 'Little Brother'. Which I really enjoyed...no, wait, I'm schmoozing. And I never do that on a Sunday....
• Commented on Handmade, effect-heavy feature film
  They had me until 'Lizard-Man'. Then my suspension of disbelief got up and left the room. In a huff....
• Commented on Henry Jenkins and Babylon 5's Straczynski live, MIT, May 22
  JMS's run on Amazing Spider-Man started well, but quickly--oh so quickly--degenerated into utter wankery. I did love his own original work, whenever he got around to finishing them....
• Commented on 4 Things to Consider Before You Try to Join the Amish
  I can attest to the Amish puppy mills, but to be fair, there are plenty of non-Amish who do the same thing. They're all scumbags in my book....
