Oh no!!! Our poisons and toxins don't work! What are we to do?!?

Has anyone heard of grits? Yup, grits (uncooked)! Just sprinkle them around where the ants are, the ants take them back to the nest for food and when they ingest the grits, the grits swell up and explode! No more ants. Grits will take out the queens (cuz they have to eat too) and no harmful toxic chemicals to worry about.

Cream of rice and cream of wheat cereals (dry) work well too.

Oh, and I thought it was Dale Dribble, not Gribble...

To Antinous: I have no problem supporting anything I think is valid and good with my money. Do you? Do you have a problem with giving your money to causes, ideas, websites, etc that you wish to see succeed? I mean, after all, you give your money blindly to corporations that act in ways you find abhorent (no matter what your own moral playbook dictates). Why do you assume I (or anyone else) wouldn't want to mail BB a check?

Look, there are many ways to get people listening; however with so much emphasis on "profit", one of the most effective is what we do with the money we have at our disposal. What's the point of vilifying these companies with words if all we're going to do is turn around and give them the money to enable them to keep doing that we don't want them doing? As far as accepting advertising dollars from these vilified entities, I would think our principled stance would have to extend to that in order to make our point a little clearer and keep our integrity intact.

Hello,

I'm quite new to boingboing so forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but something struck me as rather odd. I read this lovely little bit of information about some confirmation that our civil liberties are being used like soft toilet paper (with all fingers pointing at Verizon) and continued to scroll down the page to read the other lovely little bits of information. Imagine my surprise when I accidentally clicked on that stupid "Klaus Pierre" video and all of a sudden, I see that boingboing is sponsored by Verizon.

Am I missing something here? Or is this just an example of irony in it's full magestic glory?

Thanks for reading
