Ahhhh, the good old days, wehn men were men and women were trod upon. Of course, this are much different now, now it's the men who are trod upon. Well, in popular culture anyway.

Ha! They finally caught up with that Borat guy for blaspheming the american national anthem ... Jose can you see?

I can tell you this much about those CCTVs in the UK, they are one of the reasons that I will not visit the UK right now. The scope of Orwellian surveillance in the UK is bettered by no other "free" country in the world. The other country that I refuse to visit until they get their collective shit together, is the US. Of course, that won't be happening in my lifetime so ...

OMFG, that looks like someone squicking a decapitated horses head.

And, to be fair, we should be talking about the Bush Youth, not the Hitler Youth. Brown's still a good colour choice.

I see the usual assortment of wingnuts are out in full force. Sad really.

no ... sh*t ... sherlock ...

with all due respect, of course.

Oh crap, I thought he was going to make a kitchen floor using a vacuum former.

The SCTV skit with Richard Harris singing MacArthur park on Mel's Rock Pile is one of my personal favourites, so much so that I went out and bought the album,

Looks like a naked woman to me, mind you I'm usually on the lookout for naked women. That prick Dick Cheney definitely does detract from the experience.

URINALPOOPER, if that is your real name, you make an excellent point. You might also want to point out though, that 10% of the american adult population cannot join you at wal-mart because they are currently incarcerated.

Cuba is a lovely place, just got back from Holguin and environs, made even nicer by the dearth of loud obnoxious americans, although the loud obnoxious brits come a close second. The poverty is pretty brutal though, and the continuing embargo by the US is just mean at this stage of the game, and all for being p0w3d by castro 50 years ago. Hell hath no fury like a republican scorned.

Can someone tell me why exactly this is "wrong on so many levels"? Someone doesn't have kids if that's what they think.

I keep thinking "Pie facial" for some reason. I don't remember this one from the 60s.

Of course it is "pyjamas", what colour is the sun in your sky?

I wonder if these would help my jock itch.

Did I say that out loud?

Congrats man, it's a great feeling, and it just keeps getting better.

That was fscking pathetic. Goddamn, sometimes I hope the end is nigh.

I have this new board game called "Google"! It's great, you pick a search card and then roll the dice and move forward or backward that number of spaces and read the result. Oh, I forgot to mention that the dice has 2.4 billion sides.

Interesting, because these same people, if they were Canadians (not black, I mean living in Canada, of course they could be black but you know what I mean), would be the ones reading the hateful right wing rag called the National Post.

I now avoid bank machines that spit out $50 CDN bills (about 50$ US) because I run into so many businesses in Montreal that refuse to take them, or give you a hard time, let alone 500€ notes, that's insane.

Ironically Doctor Strangelove is now working for the Israelis, he really has no morals.

Paris Hilton's terrible genitals are on teh Internets?

I'm going to have to get on that thing one day.

I'm waiting for ogg vorbis downloads!

<whistles while rocking on heels/>

<ducks/>

I have been touched by its noodley appendage, once again. Oh, and the world was created in one day by the FSM, beat that suckas!

We used to do this behind city buses in the winter, when the streets were snow covered, we called it "shagging a lift". This was in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada in the early to mid-70s. I only knew one guy who was injured when he flew off the bus when it took a corner and the snow cover disappeared (he broke a leg). It was otherwise great fun slingshotting around corners. I remember being at the back of the bus with 5 or 6 other guys hanging on for dear life, and doing 40 or 50 kph.

How about just avoiding the goddamn places?

yeah, I hate starbucks. how about 5 bucks off your next DUI! Sheesh, America is definitely become a corporate controlled police state.

the site is crap. No commenting system, horrible late 90s look and feel. A good idea, doomed to fail because of poor execution.

Apparently logitech is coming out with one that supports eSATA as well as USB, although details are sketchy.

If it were eSATA it might be an interesting product, USB is too unstable for this.

Is this the same Charlie Stross that used to post on alt.peeves back in the day?

Don Martin was the best, the best I tell you, the best. Thanks Coifmo. BTW, anyone who thinks this is plagarism is full of it, the editor was absolutely right to stand by the artist. That guy Todd from David&Goliath got caught plagarising, not this guy.

Oh, and Welcome to america, home of the fascist border guard.

I think Mr Brown might have some good advice to offer, regardless of how badly the Katrina debacle was handled.

I wouldn't do this for a million ... okay, maybe a million ... no because then the bomb would probably be real ... I wouldn't do this for a million dollars. What are the chances that you get nabbed like that idiot girl in boston with the electronic devices strapped to her shirt? I'm sure that Rush Limbaugh's mouth breathing listeners would jump on this as patriotic 'mercans though, which would be a good thing if they got caught.

Yeah, that was pretty funny bit about decomposing the minerals. Concentrate more like. I imagine that boiling the water once to remove any dissolved gases would be sufficient so the recipe is more like, boil some water, wait a bit, freeze. To take advantage of the Mpemba effect freeze water while still warm. Google it.

Sooo poib? WTF. Pearl Oyster Information Bulletin?

Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid girl. Jeebus fsck that is stupid. And no, they didn't arrest her because she didn't have a bomb, they arrested her because she was stupid. Unfortuantely they now have to follow up with arresting 50% of the american population who voted for that stupid fool in the oval room there.
