• Commented on San Francisco police officer arresting skateboarder: "I'll break your arm like a fckng twig."
  When dealing with the police a simple "Yes, sir" or "No, sir" works a lot better than "You're a f*cking d*ck." This kid is a dope. I was once clubbed by NYC police for a lesser offense than this. I...
• Commented on Bank of America demands thumbprint from man with no arms
  The bank had several options here: 1) Call his wife and have her verify her identity over the phone by means of SS# or address info. Or... 2) Take a photo of the gentleman and get a copy of his...

• Commented on Why the Space Shuttle should always lift off at night
  Thanks a million for posting this, Xeni. It brought back wonderful memories of the one and only shuttle launch that I saw in 1994. It was about 1am and I was listening to the countdown on a local AM radio...

  It reminds me of the scene in "The Big Lebowski" when The Dude and John Goodman's character to to his landlord's performance art gig....
• Commented on Signing off
  I appreciated your writings Mr. Platt. Some people simply can't handle hearing a different viewpoint, so don't take any of the criticism personally....
• Commented on Warning sign on house
  I actually like talking to Jehovah's Witnesses; I find them to be very friendly. This guy Jerry doesn't seem so nice though....
• Commented on Got a Christmas tree in the house? Don't forget to water it.
  It's just another reason that I'm glad I don't celebrate Christmas. It's comforting to know that my Festivus pole will never cause my house to burn down....
• Commented on Sarah Palin, proud socialist
  "well jupiter, will`she make the trains run on time too?" Who cares? With the money she is giving away, everyone in Alaska will be able to buy their own "snow machine" instead of relying on the train....
• Commented on Sarah Palin, proud socialist
  I'm no fan of Sarah Palin, but if she's taking money out of the hands of oil executives and giving it to the people of her state...well, that sounds pretty good to me....
• Commented on Bank Robber Uses Craigslist To Hire Unsuspecting Accomplices
  Genius? No way. He created a trail by posting the ad and emailing the people who responded. All he did was create a group of people to testify against him....
• Commented on Mister Jalopy Scores a Stingray Bike at a Garage Sale, and Comes to an Interesting Realization
  The old Schwinns were heavy but they were built to last. I have a 1947 Schwinn DX that I ride to work every day; it's here in my office as I type this. It's the same model bike that was...
• Commented on Mark Jenkins: homeless polar bears art prank
  Oh I get it. Dressing up like a homeless polar bear will stop global warming. Alrighty then. Ummm...keep up the good work, I guess....
• Commented on MySQL hacker needs $400K for his son's bone-marrow transplant
  ""Top quality health care" naturally means new, rare, or extremely complicated procedures that have very little chance of success" I think you and I define "top quality" differently. For example, I consider places like Johns Hopkins and The Cleveland Clinic...
• Commented on MySQL hacker needs $400K for his son's bone-marrow transplant
  "This is shocking. Health should be free to all." That would be very cool. Of course we might have a tough time finding doctors, nurses and ambulance drivers who are willing to work for no pay. Finding free real estate...
• Commented on Boing Boing tv: Floating in Zero Gravity is Fun, Earthlings!
  Wow! I am officially green with envy. That looks like it must have been more fun than imaginable. I wonder how it felt to be in a plane that was put to such extremes though. Whenever I go through heavy...
• Commented on Indonesian /C/h/i/n/e/s/e/ schoolgirl flips off old begging woman
  It's pretty sad that an adult would be trying to bum money from eight-year-old kids anyway. Maybe she said something to offend the little girl. When I was about fourteen, I saw a panhandler on the street who kept saying...
• Commented on Tracking orbital trash
  It's incredible to think of how filthy and messed-up the earth has become in just the past 100 years. We humans have trashed the place. Imagine how clean it must have been before the days of plastic, space junk, jet...
• Commented on Photos of a very messy house
  "...isn't anyone else alarmed by a (purported) landlord posting pictures of their tenant's apartment without permission?" Nope. There was nothing in the photos to reveal who the person was. There were no personal pictures on the wall or anything that...
• Commented on BBtv: Star Simpson's first interview on the Boston airport LED sweatshirt scare.
  I don't think she was crucified as some people claim. She did something stupid, the media reported it, she is told to perform community service. Big deal. She seems like a pretty cool girl though and I hope things work...
• Commented on BBtv - Kaki King, guitar hero: performance, interview with Xeni (music)
  Disregard my idiotic post from earlier. I foolishly posted before reading the paragraph. I just scanned it and saw the phrase, "plays like a mofo," and boy is he right." I thought the word "he" was referring to the musician...

• Commented on Political "crop circle"
  There's a guy in Kansas named Stan Herd who does crop art better than anyone in the world. Check out his online gallery. Some of the commercial work may look familiar. http://www.stanherdart.com/PF_iowacountry_detail.htm...
• Commented on HOWTO: Take jaw-dropping photos with a mid-grade digital camera and worklights
  @ #4 Rageahol "my take: he has a nicer (older) bike than you, and keeps it in better condition. the photos dont really say a whole lot by themselves." I don't think the photos are meant to say anything. The...
• Commented on Michael Moore's next movie will be a free download
  "Roger and Me" is one of my favorite films. Unfortunately, Moore's films became increasingly dishonest after that. He's an entertainer and a great marketer. He is to film what Jimmy Buffett is to music. He has a built-in audience that...
• Commented on Douglas Rushkoff on the RNC
  Douglas Rushkoff sounds like he needs a hug. How can anyone go through life being that frightened? Perhaps if we wrap him in bubble-wrap and hold his hand it will make him feel safer....
• Commented on Riot cops relaxing
  "The protesters owe it to themselves to disassociate as much as possible from the assholes amongst them. Nobody on the main march of the protest got pepper- sprayed." You hit the nail on the head. Good post....
• Commented on HOWTO build your own A-bomb
  @ #5 Lionel. The kid in that story, David Hahn, got busted last year trying to steal smoke detectors for their radioactive content. Check out his mug shot. They suspect his open sores are due to excessive exposure to radiation:...
