Perhaps he needs to have "listening to my BS has been know to inspire fear, launch wars, and generally warp minds. Listen to at your own risk" tattooed on his forehead

@16 I am missing the vonnegut reference, please let me in.

the great attractor is an actual object. It's the cause of the "local" large scale structure of the universe.
and by local, I mean within the first 100 Megaparsecs.

be careful with buying things from quickertek. I once bought an external antenna for my g4 ibook. turns out, regardless of what was put on their web site at the time, g4 ibooks have their airport cards firmly attached by another card to the mother board. The kicker is that the antenna cable can't be removed from the airport card.
To open my computer that much has resulted in me having to repair many parts of my computer with my own soldering skills.

certainly I was dumb to go farther than the dirth of instructions to try to figure out how my new 100 dollar antenna to work. But I would doubt the compatibility and usefulness of anything from quickertek now too

as I am sure is more well known (since I got it off of fark) but here it the video of her asking her church to pray for a pipeline.

fantabulious!
This pretty much pushed me to overload for joy.

devendra, natalie, katamari. I can rest happily.

"On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Grand old badger state!
We, thy loyal sons and daughters,
Hail thee good and great.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Champion of the right,
'Forward!', our motto -
God will give thee might!"

-the official state song of Wisconsin

@16, I am to please

I never lived at twin oaks but I have known people who have.

I lived in a co-op in Madison Wisconsin for about 4 years. while not the same, many of these communities modeled themselves after other ones. There are a lot of common threads in our organizational structures and community styles.

Much of true co-operative living is falling by the way side, which is very sad. these models often are the most environmentally friendly and most culturally enriching. Many people who move into these felt trapped in isolating post-industrial "communities" separated from old bonds that much of our civilization was once based on.

in the co-ops, we called people like her "lifers", they were community builders and bases that kept the rest of us steady. It's sad to see someone like her go.

my generation hasn't picked up where hers left off, and now the communal life is dying off when we need it most.

p.s. the links seem to be broke

yeah, I stayed away from feist for a long time because of the apple ad, but then I stole the album and love it dearly.
I then bought the album on vinyl.

and the muppets version is just way to cute for words.

and if anyone ever forgot what kind of world the internet breads John Brownlee reminded us @ #5
makes me think of the crazy cat lady from the simpsons.

radiohead spoke to me at 18, when I was lost, and alone.
no one understood why I fell in love with their sound. they didn't get it like I did.

I never read the lyrics. I spent the whole summer trying to decipher the droning of Thom. I put ok computer, kid a, and amnesiac on loop, together, and lost myself after high school.

they were my band. sure I listened to the classics. the beatles, led zepplin, etc.

when I got them, they got me.

we all have that band for us, we just need to share them with others.

(plus it was nice when my parents hated them)

@14
huh, learn something new then. Maybe I should have paid more attention in latin class (or perhaps I assumed to much)

and I think everyone who saw the last crusade knows about the I/J thing

and @11
my google translation is leaving me perplexed.
I get: "A process, but it is a different process - a better process"

me thinks process isn't the best word there. Can ya clue me in on the translation. thanks

the last sentence in the quote I find distressing.
the whole thing sounds clunky. there is no flow to the language.

and for the language that seems to just keep picking up more words it doesn't make sense that it would start dropping suffixes.

I'm all for adopting more bits of language into my vocab, but I don't want to loose the artistic flourishes.

and @5
the W and V thing isn't just with indian english speakers, that has been going back and forth between the german and latin basis of the language for a while (latin had v's but no double u's, and german the opposite. "wine" was originally "vinum" pronounced "winum")

whats interesting is the argument I have heard about Americans speaking more like the English of Shakespeare's time and not the English of today. I thought we were the dregs of society, not the keepers of proper diction.

I think much of the s*** storm is over people who have no clue what they are talking about

freedom of speech doesn't go everywhere the way people think it does. If you have a private venue where people are allowed to speak as an open invitation but can be yanked the moment you start spouting unworderfulness stuff that's perfectly ok.

It is partially open with the understanding that you won't be an asshat. It makes sense, and it is pretty standard for free speech interpretations.
it's why hate groups can't start using our tax dollars to throw their beliefs in our face 24/7, they haven't been give the forum to spout these ideas. They can still spend their own resources on it, but they don't have to force us to back them to support their freedom of speech.

and more importantly. what else was the boing boing team supposed to do about this? they feel their association with a former poster might cause problems for them, or it doesn't fit in with what they are trying to build here so they are pulling them down for review. Do people really expect them to post every bit removed. Or would it have been better if they announced to everyone that they were doing this and further damage someones credibility. It wasn't going to be happy either way, but they decided to do it without any fanfare in case they did decided to put them back up, if they wanted them down without damaging the original poster.

so please can the big brother stuff, there is no comparison.

As a community that loves it's microbrews Madison Wisconsin heard about this about 5 months ago

to sum up how screwed beer lovers are, it takes 3 years to grow the extra hops.

After seeing the coronation video linked off of some liberal blog back in the 04 elections I started telling people about moon. No one believed me that some wack job could gain that much power in america.

reminds me of this how to be a cult leader video:
