mariose!

Those goombas even looked creeped out by it

Bookyloo,

"He sheepishly removed three Dicks from the front of his pants"

Really?

He *sheepishly* pulled three dicks out of his pants?!

;p

Generally, only lower end electric/electronic instruments have a built-in speaker. I would be quite surprised that something costing 3 grand wouldn't simply plug into an amplifier. Shoot, this one has a headphone jack, a treble output, a bass output, and a MIDID i/o connection.

Umm, zombie Spiderman figures, y'all?

Idk about anyone else, but these things were the bees knees to all my comic-buying friends as the local comic shop closed its doors forever...

Glad to see you going with the British tradition of naming a child more names than they'll be able to remember before the age of eight.

I'm sure she'll follow Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno in making interesting records, decks of cards, and a soundtrack for Spore.

mazel tov!

@Darran: Beginning in January, Gibson USA no longer offers any guitars in a left-handed model.

Gibson can go screw. They decided that 2008 is the year they'd rather go for the I-can't-tune market than sell anything for southpaws.

So one could reasonably get away with calling Ford 'copyright Nazis', hey?

How is that staying on her forehead?

The headline had me thinking you must use superpowers to construct the thing!

@14

Hear hear!

The best parties end up involving reproduction anyhow, right?

It's probably something akin to the local blackout for sports events here in the USA. Not exactly sure how that works out when spanning the Pacific, though.

It won't be a surprise if the target reads boingboing, tho.

Yeah, I'd scuttle the yacht and jet away in my mini sub pod. That's the best part!

Yeah, the Terminator. Because assassinating a governor is hip, it's edgy; it's marketing!

I always thought bugs were pretty; who knew they were talented too? : - D

Holy crap, Google's worth that much per?

Tune in next five minutes, y'all, as I rue lost IPOs. ;_;

Originality is vastly overrated.
Unfortunately, so are seafood fetishes.

@ #1: Have you never heard of goatse, man?

Jeez, on reading TFA, seems like a good bunch of these aren't even proven wrong yet, or worse, aren't even predictions.
I mean, Marx's prediction of capitalism setting up its own demise certainly falls flat given the situation the American empire's built for itself.
And clearly Goering's declaration in early '42 that Americans make poor aircraft was an accurate prediction... No, wait, it was an accurate assessment of the ass-kicking the Curtiss P-40 and Grumman F4F tended to get from the Japanese Zeros and other craft. (Barring, of course, the times actual experience on the Allied side managed to overcome mere technology on the part of the Axis...)

I dunno about Toronto, Cory, but here in the NC Piedmont USA all our vacuums are nuclear powered.

Of course, the reactors are a couple miles away...

That's interesting, Mr. Cowling, but only knowing Tolkien thru personal exp and GW by reputation, how does the latter get the Eldar TM when it was in so many of good John Ronald Reuel's books?

Ever see X-Files: Fight the Future, Thorzdad?

If it said, 'The Chinese must come,' I'd get it for my gf for Xmas.

If it said, 'The Chinese to go,' I guess the restaurant we work at could use it for a gag at the bar.

Think I'll stick to Mr. Goodbar.

Where is the AK from, tho?

I've broken down a few, and there's no way, no matter how gussied up, a Chinese AK is worth a $K. If it's Russian, or Eastern Europe I supposed it might be worth it...

Wow, that almost makes me wish it was cold!

Once upon a time I thought boingboing comments were cool to have back, but not when they decided to abolish the unicorn chaser.

My nose and brain hurt.

Yeah, Ross, my vinyl collection contains levels of FUNK recognized as dangerous by the Food and Drug Administration.

I for one welcome our new owl overlords.

(Hey, they fly. They *are* over us, dadgummit!)

Actually, those are mostly immature katydids. You can tell by the length of their wings. The one that is an adult is very lucky; bright pink is much worse camouflage than grass green!

I guess it's pretty great to get such a nice collection without any of the legwork!

"Floppiness"?

I don't want to know, do I, internet?
