• Commented on Freelancer vs cheap client: please design me a logo, with pie charts, for free
  Horrible, Vibro. Just horrible. But oh so typical. I think you were working with a "dunce." You should have had a red flag from square one. Second, you should have stopped her and made perfectly clear what it would cost...
• Commented on HOWTO roll your own pumpkin pie spices
  Don't forget to make twice as much spice so you can add some to a nice homebrew Brown Ale or Porter. Add your spices after the boil, one the way down, at around 160-180F. 1 Tbsp for 5 gallons should...
• Commented on Do chimps grieve?
  I have no idea why that made me laugh so hard, but I still can't seem to stop giggling....
• Commented on Aren't You a Little Short For a Minuteman?
  George Washington had wooden teeth. By the time of the Revolution, he was practically more machine than man....
• Commented on Awful 1962 marriage textbook speaks out against feminism, communism and interracial dating
  As was I, LB. But I wound up reading the entire dang thing a couple weeks ago when it was first posted. Worth the read, mind-boggling social control we had back then, ayup....
• Commented on European Internet sinking fast under 3-strikes proposals
  Silly proposal. It makes more sense to allow it, then sue the household most likely to afford the $3,000+ settlement....
• Commented on Sick of graphs tee-shirt
  I hate anti-graph propaganda. It always seems to me like that snide kid in my English Comp class, mocking something for its sheer informativeness. Like, "thinking is lame." Also, it is topatoco, good people making decent schwag....
• Commented on Boy missing after experimental balloon crash lands
  Exactly, Madsci. He called the news channels (which apparently he calls a bunch, but they won't feature him as a human-interest story), and perhaps they weren't interested in chasing his little blimp with their news copters--until he mentioned that he...
• Commented on Boy missing after experimental balloon crash lands
  @Madsci I'm reading on FARK that the dad originally called the news channel--to ask them to assist with tracking it. When they said, WTF??!?! Call 911!!! That's when things began to unravel for his insidious little AW plan....
• Commented on Best microscopic photos of the past 35 years
  When I was in the 8th grade I looked through a microscope for the first time, at some pond scum. We weren't expected to find something so amazing, but I found a multi-celled thing that looked just like this, but...
• Commented on Boy missing after experimental balloon crash lands
  The best point of all is that if he built the damn thing, and knew how it appeared in-flight, then he had to have known that the kid couldn't be lifted by it. The only other scenario is the kid...
• Commented on Healthy baby poop gallery
  Thanks for the tasteful image, as opposed to the "healthy cervix" thread, but really, do we need a Facebook for poo?...
• Commented on Wingnut extreme: Glenn Beck says "Story of Stuff" is Commie propaganda
  Seriously, if "buying less stuff" is socialist doctrine, this country is way more fubar'd than I ever imagined. Also, I'm frickin' Vlad Lenin....
• Commented on Wingnut extreme: Glenn Beck says "Story of Stuff" is Commie propaganda
  I'm dissapointed in BoingBoing'ers that call this "leftist propaganda." For shame. I guess "not worrying" about environmental degradation and toxicity is "right wing," eh?...
• Commented on Oldest bird-like dinosaur
  Raptor-Turkey would have been a better name....
• Commented on D&D camp, circa 1982
  D&D Camp? Don't you mean Satanic Worship Indoctrination Camp? @Individual - Mine too. Except I was still young enough to worry--as I was warned by adults--that playing D&D could accidentally trigger the summoning of some netherworld imp, or compulsively drive...
• Commented on Dead cell-phones: suspense movie cop-outs
  Well, Dawg, I'm looking at these clips and I'm still going with "deadly threat." No need to get Sartre involved whatsoever. Also, I'm calmer than you are. I'm perfectly calm....
• Commented on Dead cell-phones: suspense movie cop-outs
  @8 Your subconscious is speaking to you, you rely too much on your phone (subconsciously) as a safety mechanism. @13 Why all of a sudden is the word "existential" being bandied about all the time, especially in conjunction with "threat."...
• Commented on Amazing video of girl barely missing an out-of-control car
  Obviously, the only way to settle this is by throwing a million cars at a million six-year-old girls. If only one survives, then we know that indeed guardian angelship was at work!...
• Commented on The Boing Boing / Insane Clown Posse / Juggalo Singularity

• Commented on Patriotic donut holes and cakes commemorating 9/11
  That's actually a reproduction of the C-4 plastic explosives and detonator paste used by the CIA to buckle the support beams of the towers. I would have used a white chocolate ganache, but to each his own I guess....
• Commented on More on court ruling against Ashcroft and "preventative detention" under Bush administration
  As a tried-and-true Missourian, I can say without any uncertainty that Ashcroft was nothing more than a total patsy for the whims of Cheney and his cabal. He's an unwitting fool....
• Commented on Singapore's second-creepiest animatronic exhibit

• Commented on KFC as pot dispensary
  Imagine going back in a time machine to 1995 and showing this to some high school kid and saying, "See, this is where you'll be getting pot in the future."...
• Commented on Two-time turd-spelunker caught peering up from the bottom of pit latrines again
  Capital Headline, chap. Bravo to Cory....
• Commented on Rachel Maddow interviews Tom Ridge on politicizing terror threat alerts
  It makes me so depressed that people call Maddow the "liberal equivalent" of Limbaugh/Hannity/Beck. She's doing genuine journalism. Is is left-leaning? Of course. Is it a back of utter lies? NO. Hence, no equivalency. Yet, here we are....
• Commented on Baby chicks ground up alive: animal rights video goes viral
  Worse part is that they play Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" as the chics get lead down to the grinder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfDqR4fqIWE I mean, Do they HAVE to do that?...
• Commented on How Science Reporting Works
  Even worse: Hypothesis: Does Marijuana cause insanity? Conclusion: No, not at all. Newspaper Headline: Scientists investigate insanity-causing properties of Marijuana. EBSCO Search Results for "Marijuana" + "Insanity": 1 (more)...
• Commented on The blog of Philip Garrido, serial rapist and kidnapper: "sound control" gadget hallucinations.
  1. The over-application of the "sexual offender" designation has completely undermined its meaning and allows truly dangerous individuals to fly under the radar. 2. The paranoia fall-out will be devastating. Never expect an adult to even attempt eye-contact with...
• Commented on Policeman busted for feeding Pop-Tarts to gorillas
  The requisite indignant Gorilla pic with the article is priceless. "A M*%^& F^&$%-ing pop tart? Do you know I am a M*%^& F^&$%-ing Gorilla? You think I eat Pop Tarts?"...
