• Commented on Virtuoso cocktail shaker does his thing
  You're right. I mis-heard "lime juice" as "vermouth" and, when the videographer requested clarification and said "lime, fresh lime" in response, I heard it as "rum." Although a good dry vermouth can be anywhere from pale straw to damn near...

• Commented on Why ad-blockers, ad-skippers and other user-control technologies are legal
  And it's precisely because of your logical defense of ad-blocking software that I've told AdBlock to ignore all of boingboing.net. I'm happy to view ads if it'll help support a site I love.* *not a paid testimonial. I really am...

• Commented on Robot negotiates with mentally ill man who threatened White House (UPDATED)
  Someone really needs to make a cable channel that features nothing but live video feeds from news copters of police chases, 24/7. I'd watch it.I thought that was SpikeTV's entire game plan? Well, that and Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. And...

• Commented on God comics: God asserts his copyright in the universe
  Really? I'd think it more likely that God would be trademarked by a group that rhymes with "Hawks Nudes," personally. "Malt Crispy" has always been rather more secular......

  My least favorite word..."cornucopia." It's hell around Thanksgiving here in the US, I tell you. Also "yummy" and "tummy" as they just sound infantile. Favorite word? Ooh...tough one. I've made lists of them on my BLOG! (just to annoy the...

  Heaven knows he couldn't just say "No, keep your money," and continue to vote against them. No, they've obviously holding a gun to his head until he takes their dirty money. Perhaps they're threatening his family? No? No extortion, you...
