Too bad they're all fucking terrible.

I was just there this past Friday. It gets much busier at night, but the food doesn't get any better. At least they have margaritas by the liter.

Stardust (the movie) was a terrible pile of flaming dog shit, and the Hugo awards are now flaming dog shit by association.

Clearly it is more closely related to Mighty Mouse, because Mickey is a sickly little bastard.

I only wish I had the time to read through the previous 1800 comments. I'm just going to assume that it's something like:

"OMG CENSORSHIP BOINGBOING IS A BUNCH OF SELL-OUTS"

"YOU GUYS SHUT UP XENI IS THE BEST AND CORY'S BOOKS TAUGHT ME TO READ. VIOLET BLUE DID COPYRIGHT THINGS AND CORY SEZ COPYRIGHTS ARE BAD SO SHE SUCKS"

"FCK THT STPD CNT VLT BL"

"TERESA IS A NAZI FOR CENSORING PEOPLE. YOU'RE ALL NAZIS!!!"

"TERESA YOU ARE THE BEST MOD EVER I WANT YOU TO DISEMVOWEL MY FIRST BORN"

And then there's me, like Jesus walking across a lake, while all around the lake people are screaming for help because they are on fire, but Jesus does not hear them because they are all morons. He just looks at the fish below and thinks about what to make for dinner.

Get some insurance or sue the spider. Art won't save you now deadbeat!

How in the hell did I miss a thread this great??

ETAWAT is my hero, and I want some whale.

Also that fish is such a fucking poser.

I'd hit that.

With a crowbar.

I've started to hate Ideas in Food.

The first time I went to the coffee shop on my college campus I asked "do you just have a mocha or something?" and the guy totally lectured me about how mocha was a port in Yemen and not a drink, it was just a term that Starbucks made up for coffee with chocolate in it, so on and so forth.

I was pretty pissed and explained to him that I'd never been to Starbucks because there were none where I grew up, but that all the local coffee shops sure as hell had a "mocha" on the menu and could he just get me something with coffee and chocolate in it.

I ended up with a "chocolate latte" instead, which was fine.

The moral of the story is: fuck all that pretentious bullshit. Don't treat your customers like uncultured idiots, and don't treat service people like assholes for caring about their job.

Boingboing: where people complain about everything. Just admit the video was awesome.

How about a steampunk wallpaper where all the decorative brass and copper shit is getting stolen by a meth addict and sold to a scrap yard?

Noen - I can't very well make the whole university I work at switch to Open DNS. Everything is AD so the people running Linux/Mac (no they won't buy an Apple server) don't have any way to update the DNS records automatically like all the happy XP/2000 domain members do.

I guess I could use Samba to bind my box to the domain, but I think I'd rather just stay off the radar.

About the book - it was good, but I feel like it was about the Ledo road more than Perry's story. All the details about working conditions, tiger attacks, coolies, etc., came in the parts leading up to his escape, and not during. Just made the chapters that dealt with his actual time on the run seem shallow compared to the rest of the book. Overall really good though, like reading a History channel special.

Also, the D in drank is clearly a bastardized, upside-down flyers logo.

Flyers suck, go Wings.

That stuff has been out in Houston for a while, although I can't seem to find it anymore. My gf and I split a can and slept for 14 hours. Granted we had been drinking a few hours prior, but still...shit be potent.

Looks like tomacco to me. Send me some when it fruits...or I'll come to your house and break your legs.

Photoshopped

What about people who are against monkeys? Look at their terrible people fingers!! All we need is for them to start getting bionic implants and going nuts a la 8 Man After.

Plastic or not, the real question is:
Will it get me laid??

Was this pre KayPro?

1. Y'r drssd lk whr
2. This is prom, not a nightclub, if I had to wear a tux, your ass better show up in a dress, not a miniskirt
3. Gold is a shite color fr sht ppl
4. Rosethornn gt vr yrslf. This has nothing to do with freedom of expression or transgendered people or gay people or any of the causes you champion on the vast soapbox that is the Internet. This is about a stubborn girl with no taste and an equally stubborn person refusing to just give the money back and taking it to a newsworthy level. Prom is a formal event which requires formal dress, and there are pretty clear guidelines for that.

The long and short of it is that she wanted attention and she got it.

The guy that writes that suicidefood site is a complete twat. He's got what could have been an interesting look at different cultures and relationships with the animals that provide nourishment, but he just uses it as a vessel for his myopic vegetarian tirades. Needs a good kick in the shins.

Awesome

Enochrewt,

The name is buttseks, feel free to type it out (gives me a warm fuzzy feeling).

Since when do I have to be upset about something to make fun of it?

Also, try a stud finder...an awesome stud finder.

"Here's an article about *cough*buymybook*cough some RFID shit."

Let me guess, their first move is to download a bunch of DRM-free music with bittorrent.

Take that, "the man"!!

Food additives = molecular gastronomy. It's all about marketing.

Murder: It's just a hooker.

Unique my ass. They're all over the place in Houston. Are sunsets unique to LA too now?

Not even a scratch.

I kept reading about how great and durable and well-made these moleskine books are, so I finally bought one to keep in my back pocket and take notes on at work. Everything was great until all the pages separated from the spine after only a few months of use. Now I have a Blackberry. It has a calendar, and search, and breakout, and it's half the size.

Fuck you moleskine!

WoW is about as violent as I am tactful. Stupid limey bastards!

500 FTW

Also insane that people are still bitching about the original post.

Just a quick survey, who would actually go to a place billing itself as an American izakaya? Too confusing? Too vague?

Well of course there are places that make proper drinks in NYC (I assume by New York you mean NYC because I used to live in Rochester and I know how these things go). Here in Houston though I've been served a mint julep with lime wedges in it, which is so near blasphemy that if I'd had a six-shooter on me I would have brandished it at the bartender. I'll admit that they make some pretty good drinks at Under the Volcano, but it's so close to Rice University that it's always full of twats that don't appreciate a Pimm's Cup any more than a Corona.

I declare this thread to now be about lamenting the fact that nobody makes a good drink anymore. Any time I go to a place that my friends assure me has "great mixed drinks" they're just really strong. That's not great unless your an alcoholic...a tight-ass alcoholic. Everything has seltzer water in it, nobody makes simple syrup or bothers to muddle anymore. I swear someday I'm going to open a bar with good beer and proper mixed drinks and yakitori/kushiyaki and it's going to fail miserably and I'll burn it down for insurance money.

300!! We rule (at internet arguments, which is kind of like ruling at pogs, or taking candy from babies).

Theresa you should post flame bait more often.

Democrats suck!

Republicans suck!

Ron Paul sucks!

Whigs suck!

Socialists suck!

Woo hoo you guys did it! Nearly 300 posts of completely pointless bickering! I think we can top 300 here people, and to help here are some good starting points for another whine-fest:

1. Fuck whales! Those fat bastards are eating all the krill that could be going to starving children.

2. The ozone is overrated. People look better in long sleeves anyway.

3. AMD vs. Intel

4. ATI vs. NVidia

5. Windows Vs. OS X Vs. *NIX

6. I hate your baby! I hate all babies!

6. All praise to our Lord and Saviour

6. ...SATAN!

You can get those same straws at "adult novelty" stores. A friend had them for her bachelorette party.

IT'S A COCK!

Best headline ever.

I think we're all hoping for a drug that will give us Jean Grey-like psychokewhatsits powers.

Homeless people suck and so do you!

If you can't take the Snus, don't come around looking for my hot make-outs.

Smokers should just switch to Snus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus). Way more nicotine than cigarettes, and instead of making people cough, you can just make them watch you spit into an old Mountain Dew bottle all night.

Added bonus: when you've filled the bottle, throw it at a bum on your drunken ride home for an instant crowd-pleaser.

You're totally that crazy guy that beat up uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite.

Oh there it goes.

TRIPLE POST FTW

Where's my damned comment about farts!?

So will farting in public be banned next? I'm pretty sure farts could be linked to lung cancer if you put the effort into it. Did he die of lung cancer? Yes. Did he live with heavy farters? Yes. Death by second-hand toots.

Oh oh this is it! This is the 200+ comment article! Come on people, get your bicker on!

I love that people have to refer to me as 'buttseks' because of the power of anonymity. If that's not freedom, I don't know what is.

Thank you, Internet

Mike, drop buzzwords much?

Seriously people, we need 200+ posts on this.

WE CAN DO IT

You smelly hippies aren't done bickering over a moot point yet are you?

I had an '88 Prelude that I loved dearly. Best visibility and handling of any car I've ever been in. I felt really bad because I got my '80 280zx and wanted to park it in the driveway, so I left the Prelude on the street. Torrential rain came and even though I moved her to higher ground, it was too late. Clutch rusted shut, water and mold everywhere. To it's credit though, it still started once I put in a fresh battery, it just wouldn't keep running if you let off the gas. Now she rests with the Kidney Foundation.

Conspiracy? Sellouts? Betrayal of trust?

This is worse than the story of the Little Red Hen. Everyone wants all their favorite sites to grow and increase readership and stick around for years to come, but nobody wants to pony up any support. Then they strike a deal with what is arguably one of the most responsible auto manufacturers on the planet, and everyone just wants to bitch and moan, oblivious to the epic amounts of materials and electricity it takes just to give them a soapbox to shout from.

Here's an idea for all those truly opposed to this move: turn off your computer, unplug it, and donate it to a cause you support. Cancel your Internet service and never turn back. Congratulations, you just saved Earth and your dignity by actually committing to something. Or you can just sheepishly show back up at the same time tomorrow to see what news you missed, because that's the kind of spineless, cause-of-the-week evangelist you know you are.

I love how hypocritical people can be.

Honda ruins the environment? What about that computer you're using? That didn't grow on a tree, it grew in a Chinese factory that spews pollutants 24x7. In contrast, Honda was the first manufacturer to meet the clean air act of 1970, and the first to introduce a gas/electric hybrid to the US market. The litigation concerning the lower than expected mileage was actually due to the way mileage estimates are calculated (it's all done on paper, not with actual testing) and as a result the EPA changed how estimates were calculated, lowering numbers for all hybrids.

Honda kills people? Anything going 60mph is a death trap. Honda was the first to put 4-wheel steering in a passenger vehicle, the first Japanese automaker to use airbags, and the first manufacturer to put an airbag on a motorcycle. Honda also recently built a huge new crash test facility where they can study collisions occurring from any angle, as well as human/vehicle collisions. Honda wants their name associated with safety because they actively try to make something inherently dangerous as safe as possible.

It's so easy for every dipshit with an internet connection to criticize everything that rubs them the wrong way. How many of you that don't hesitate to cast insults are actually doing more than just whining and complaining? Who here that has a problem with Honda is an automotive engineer? Who's got a viable alternative to internal combustion in the works? Who's figured out how to take a body from 60-0mph in less than a second and keep ligaments from bisecting vital organs? Anyone actually part of the solution, or are you all just blindly casting insults from the comfort of your home/apartment/office filled with organic fair-trade consumer bullshit.

I pollute, I waste, I endanger, and I appreciate the efforts of those companies that help me keep those things to a minimum.

I hope the sponsorship continues. I'd rather read articles on automotive innovation than more book promotions (now available in sanscrit!) and misinformation (TOR = anonymity = security?).

And just a note to #34, Honda wasn't even established until after WWII, so...wtf?

This is a joke and a waste of time. If you honestly think this is worth the cost of the credit(s), send your money to me instead and I'll call you up to talk about the "religion" of Kiss or Dylan or anime or Apple or Linux or Nissan or Nascar or Harry Potter or LOLcats. Just because something has fanatical followers does not necessarily make it comparable to religion, although it apparently makes for cheap publicity.

Unless the "bad guys" are operating the exit nodes...
