• Commented on Star Trek's cheesy creatures
  I've already seen a number of these "enhanced for HD" episodes and I disagree with Kevin Church - they look like crap. They've replaced every model shot of the Enterprise with a bland, inexplicably "lit", amateurish CGI sequence. Once again,...
• Commented on The Coming Iridescence
  Hmmm, I guess everything old is new again... These paints looks suspiciously like my grandmother's candy dishes - medium blue ones - and she's had those since the beginning of time!...
• Commented on Decapitated doll head pencil sharpener
  Genius! There are a number of public figures that I would like to impale with a blunt object... I see several shopping and weekends of at the craft table ahead of me....
• Commented on Wired editor bans PR flacks
  I think it's pretty ridiculous that a media person or journalist would blacklist any email from a PR firm. If you don't want press releases as a media outlet then open a plumbing business for cryin' out loud! This speaks...
• Commented on <i>Star Trek</i> Enterprise Putter
  This surpasses the Belle Beast Dog Brush (from Beauty and the Beast) as the stupidest licensed product... At least Belle and the Beast looked like they did in the movie!...
• Commented on Jimbo vinyl figure
  Wow - I can't imagine what Jimbo can do that necessitates a 32-page set of instructions. Perhaps anatomically correct is a strong indicator. I think I just giggled in glee just a little bit!...
• Commented on Bush fundraiser linked to crashed drug plane
  I can't find it in myself to be shocked by any of this - I mean, for me, it doesn't quite top "reviewing" the CDC director's presentation on global warming from 14 pages to 4 followed up by staged FEMA...
• Commented on Video: "(Gonna) Buy Mii a Wii" Rap Opus
  Okay, post purchase regret is well known - but post-pre purchase euphoria?...
• Commented on Homemade comics from International 24 Hour Comics Day
  Thanks for this. I feel much better about my meager drawing skills......
• Commented on AMPCO 7920: The $900 Sledge Hammer
  What's with the little holes in the handle? Do they make it more aerodynamic? David B....
• Commented on Horrifying cute animals photoshopping contest
  OMG, this really, really creeps me out! I can't really explain it, but I have an immediate flight response to the legs! It just reminds me that biologic programming is real. David B....
• Commented on Mitsubishi Fuso Eco-D Concept Dump Truck
  I love how the Japanese are so good at making vehicles that look like toys - not an interpretation of a toy or an homage to a toy like U.S. vehicle makers. Without a reference in the pic, it's hard...
• Commented on Black & Decker Auto Wrench
  Is it any wonder that sooooo many Americans are obese? Thumb muscles tiring... must hold on... David B....
• Commented on Videos of Ramana's levitations
  This guy would be a lot more interesting if the mechanics of his tricks weren't so obvious. I wonder about all those people gawking at the umbrella "trick". Did they round up 100 people who all flunked out of high...
• Commented on Chinese luxury market -- all smoke and mirrors?
  I wasn't "SPAMing" my address, PTERYXX, I was adding my signature to my comments. This isn't exactly related to Luxury knock-offs, but I think the only reason the evil, corrupt, and brutal Chinese government hasn't collapsed is because the U.S....
• Commented on Levitron Anti-Gravity Globe
  Too bad it's so small. I love the equator. I've never been, but it's nice to know that it's so obvious when you arrive......
• Commented on Chinese luxury market -- all smoke and mirrors?
  JJASPER: I think it's great that you're so comfortable and have such a positive level of post-purchase satisfaction. Are you taking a medication that allows you to ignore the fact you're exploiting a repressed and beaten people who vastly, vastly...
• Commented on Chinese luxury market -- all smoke and mirrors?
  Sorry, I don't run ads of any kind on my blog, nor can I afford link bait-and-switch scams or featured search results - I don't know how else to promote it. www.you know where David B....
• Commented on Chinese luxury market -- all smoke and mirrors?
  Wal-Mart, like many retailers on the wave of lead coming to the U.S. from China, has taken non-disclosure a step farther by refusing to name both the importer of the tainted, bite-sized toys it recalled on Friday, but also the...
• Commented on Floating toxic plastic garbage island twice the size of Texas
  This would be better described as an area of horrific density of plastic bits floating on the surface - not an island. I was disappointed The Gate didn't have pictures. How many oceanic gyres are there on the earth? David...
• Commented on Weird interruption of Ray Bradbury play
  I hope SOMEBODY got a picture of the guy. Under California law it's a felony to impersonate an officer of the law or an agent of a state agency - and that's not obscure or little known. I'll just bet...
• Commented on The Limerick pedestrian diet and exercise plan
  Oh, yes, you're right subspace, I thought the quote in the post was representative of the greater whole. I'll follow the link... Bakermiller: one is simply more empty than the other. You can just as easily get buzzed off eating...
• Commented on Cheapo SpongeBob Camera
  This is adorable! I don't suppose it's made in China with 20x lead content? - cause I'm all about that right now! (Wal-Mart just announced another recall of bit-sized toys and refused to name the manufacturer or origin of toys....
• Commented on Klimax DS: Streaming Audio Ain't Cheap, It Seems
  GULP! I'm pretty sure the "value" of my audio materials are out of the league of something like this. So much pressure!! www.theskinofmyteeth.com David B....
• Commented on MPAA hacker interview
  That's the first lesson you have to learn in the entertainment business. Take meetings, talk (without revealing your process), turn over samples of other "projects", but no work until the contract is signed. Unfortunately, this is a lesson that few...
• Commented on The Limerick pedestrian diet and exercise plan
  This really is a glucose disaster waiting to happen. This is totally an AWFUL vegetarian diet. I can't think of a better way to run your body into shock and cause your pancreas to be asked to surge and drop...
• Commented on TSA's crazy screener-testing: giving "bombs" to regular passengers to sneak onboard?!?
  This is a great from the TSA's perspective! Causing the flying public to be the source of outrageous security failures is a much more TV friendly story than the reports that TSA screeners fail to identify 70% of potential bomb...
• Commented on Dumbledore is gay -- Rowling
  Well, this is kinda interesting, but I think it reveals much more about Rowling as a writer than anything important about the characters. I'm liking her more and more. I'm looking forward to her next project. It will be interesting...
• Commented on Japanese women could be "safer" at night by wearing vending-machine disguises
  What would the world do without the most ludicrous among us: the Japanese? Are you sure this isn't some industrialized meets 3rd-world burka? David B....
• Commented on Snitch-chips embedded in UK school's uniforms
  The first thing I would do (and would have done) is remove the chip from my uniform. This is really troubling and offensive. I'm kinda cool with the chip being used to determine if I'm at school/on the campus, but...
