• Commented on China: real-life fashion police crack down on public pajama-wearers
  I had forgotten all about that wearing surgical scrubs fad. My boyfriend in college wore a blue shirt like that a lot! What a goof ball he was. I think Rick Springfield started that whole thing. Lots of college kids...

• Commented on Some Christians mad at R. Crumb
  It clearly says on the cover "Graphically Depicted. Nothing Left Out!" And even issues an underage warning. So if you don't think you can deal with it, don't read it! I am getting so tired of people like Judge....

  When they came to the city nearest me, I really wanted to go. But I didn't get picked. No ticket for me they said via email! I was all ready to go with my junk store paintings! I'm still sure...

  I thought it was really cool and original. Loved the backgrounds and cars!...
• Commented on Internet dumbing-down hysteria compared against previous waves of anti-tech backlash
  Since it seems to me that intelligence in a person is there or not, I can't see how the internet could make someone dumber or smarter. I know people who never use the internet at all, but they are very...
• Commented on Library in necklace form
  I agree with #3...too many books. one would be nice. I don't mind that its blank. You could fill it up with teeny sketches. If you have more than one they could be themed...like all one book of flowers or...
• Commented on Will a clean fridge get you laid?

• Commented on David Byrne's live show: the highlight of the year
  All of you who got to see this --- I am so envious! I remember seeing the Talking Heads on the 'stop making sense' tour. (early '80's) I wasn't familiar with them much and when this nerdy guy came out...
• Commented on World War II poster "Use it up - Wear it out - Make it do!"
  I get what they are trying to promote here (I think - its being frugal, not spanking your man while he wears saddle oxfords), but having grown with a family of 'make it do'-ers I got kind of an opposite...
• Commented on Richard Metzger interviews Julien Nitzberg about his documentary film, "The Wild Whites of West Virginia"
  I too am from the Appalachian mountains and have a hillbilly heritage. We get the 'Coal Valley News', which just yesterday had a story about Jescos sister getting arrested. That is one wild family. For some reason I don't get...
• Commented on Great meltdowns melted into one (Rob Thomas music video by Walter Robot)
  I really like this video and I like Rob Thomas, even though I'd forgotten who he was til I watched and saw his 'cameo'....he's cool though and a good singer. What I really like is poster #1's rant!...
• Commented on Man, our president is cool.
  Great photos. I agree with others who say there hasn't been enough time yet in office for President Obama to be judged so critically. Time will tell...but for now, as a parent of a student who is studying outside the...
• Commented on God Bless America
  I think the over the top craziness of this artwork captures Palin's recent actions perfectly. Crazy person = Crazy depiction....
• Commented on Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies
  Great to see these things! And to see others remember them to...I still have a 'tool box' full of long forgotten gadgets. I believe using these 'hands on' tools sets us old designers apart. In a good way. If you've...
• Commented on 5 must-have geeky dog toys for geeky dogs
  I have terriers, which can tear up about anything and the Kong toys hold up good. We have one just like the picture above and that same co. makes other toys of that same durable material....
• Commented on Old moonshiner and son busted for dope smuggling
  I used to hear people say 'smoking dope' a lot back in the 70's and early 80's. It was 'herb' in the 90's and I didn't start hearing 'weed' until 2000's. Also recently heard a college student call it 'chronic'....
• Commented on Early devices for "rhythm method"
  that is hilarious....by the time I figured this thing out the mood would be gone for sure! also, reminds me of the old 'proportional scale' days. In fact it might have been easy to confuse the two. "honey, I'm at...
• Commented on Muji USA webstore - simple, clean design from Japan
