Gah. If you were playing on Xbox Live, I would have been able to join!

My computer is an evil dinosaur that crashes whenever I try to play games on it. Boo!

Check your toilets ladies.

After reassembling himself, Mr. Robot passes out, exhausted.

Goodnight, Mr. Robot.

Oh, I am smitten...

I love you, Air Jelly.

It's only a matter of time before these spiders, driven by hunger, will seek blood to atone for the destruction...

True, not everyone knows what hard means. All the more reason to read the bottle. If I don't know what it is, or I'm unfamiliar with a product, I read the labels before eating/drinking. I would be particularly cautious before giving something foreign to a child.

Having been to many sporting events across the country, what Lilith999 said is also true: At concessions, they usually serve fountain drinks (including regular lemonade) from plastic cups, and alcoholic beverages (beer, wine coolers) in the branded packaging. More than likely, there was a Pepsi/Coca Cola fountain in front with Minute Maid or Hi-C, and upon noticing that they were giving him something different, would he not have thought to look? Again, the article does not state (I've read this thing about three times, I'm not seeing any other details).

I'm not arguing that the guy "should have known", but I am saying that he should have looked closely at something he was not familiar with.

Yes, I did read the article.

Does it count if I thought of this first?
...

No?

... Dammit.

Wow. Forgive me if I seem brusque, but this archaeologist *must* have been living under a rock his entire life.

If you want lemonade, ask for regular lemonade. If you ask for HARD lemonade (and honestly, even my 78 year old grandmother knows this), you are obviously talking about the kind that contains alcohol. If both non-alcoholic and alcoholic products were served, he should not have asked for "hard" lemonade (article does not specify).

Even if only hard lemonade was served at the concessions, any professor (unless he is blind) can read a label (on a glass bottle that does indeed resemble a beer bottle), and should do so before giving some unfamiliar consumable to his own child.

I've had Mike's Hard Lemonade, so I'm familiar with the bottles. Even if he didn't know, and it was an honest mistake, the words "premium malt beverage" and an alcohol content printed on the bottle should have been enough of a clue.

I reference the USDA's suggestion, "Read it before you eat it", or in this case, before your child drinks it.

I Googled Strawberry Rabbit and the first result I got was a vibrator.

Maybe there's more to this sign than I thought.

It is said that "No news is good news."

Crap. Everyone beat me to the Nihilist and Minimalist comments. Well...

Like Mr. Frauenfelder here, I guess I don't have much to say.

She does look a lot like the plastic surgery poster child - collagen lip injections, rhinoplasty, etc. I guess because she still has somewhat realistic features, and the proportions aren't ridiculously off, she looks more "normal" compared to Mario and Homer.

Now that is some creepy stuff.

*giggle*

I like tickle fights.

Of course you have to take the liquor. Makes for good antiseptic. :)

I still say you should *try* for a week, but of course if things don't go as planned, come back to civilization.

Wherever you go, make sure to stay hydrated! Well wishes, enjoy yourself, and keep us posted if/when you can.

Takuan, dígame - ¿Dónde están las drogas?

Señor, I have no idea what you're talking about... But we have some excellent menudo for your hangover.

Carne asada is not a crime, but "meat is murder"? (Spicy, delicious murder on a corn tortilla, with cilantro and salsa verde?)
I call transitive property.
If a = b and b = c, then a = c.

Jokes aside, those "taco wagons" are fantastic, authentic eateries. They're great places for a quick, reasonably priced lunch!

Paper towels FTW.

Seriously, I hate public restrooms and try my damnedest not to use them, but when I do, I almost always see someone walk in, expel their bodily waste(s) and walk out without washing their dirty, filthy hand meats.

Gross.

I suddenly have a hankering for a bologna sandwich.

And I believe, although my Spanish is rusty, that cow nose would be "nariz de vaca".

Thanks BoingBoing. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I'll bet any amount of money that he's into that sort of thing.

Looks to me like a big ass praying mantis...

Drink when you're thirsty. Psh! What will they think up next?! Eat when you're hungry?

I love how common sense is now "science".

LOL @ PeaceFlag

With this machine, will I earn achievement points as well?

Yup... Five inches is all you need. :)

I've seen commercials for a similar product on television.

Geared toward elderly folk who don't like "newfangled" phones, but still need some sort of mobile communication device. This has been around for a while now, maybe a year or so?

I hope that if/when I get old, I 'm still willing and able to learn how to use new technologies.

Reminds me more of Silent Hill than the other games mentioned.

On the vinyl CD's... I purchased them, but was mildly disappointed. They're not as neat as the ones made by e3works. I had a pack of these before, and the underside is also black, but I don't think they are made anymore:

Unfortunately, on the Verbatim brand CD's, the underside looks like any recordable cd, and the printed record image on top isn't a matte black.

I only recently discovered this magazine. I don't normally purchase magazines/subscriptions except for Juxtapoz and Giant Robot. Volume 6 had a most curious cover that caught my attention, and inside an interview with Audrey Kawasaki.

It's been a joy to flip through. Certainly well thought out, and a welcome addition to my list of "Magazines I Love."

I sure do love cephalopods, but am I the only one that thinks this looks like a deer tick?

Specifically, a deer tick swollen with the sweet blood of sea creatures...

@#20

Denied. The unicorns are all busy poking the eyelids of Asian women. There is work to be done!

"The car was supposed to do 0 - 100 kilometers in 7.5 seconds... (8 hours to recharge)."

It even shares some qualities with its namesake.

Ouch.

I am thoroughly disturbed. Perfectly normal people mutilating or hurting themselves for the sake of beauty/fashion is something that's been around for a long time, but it seems to me that it's getting more and more ridiculous.

"Tsk, it's a shame you don't have 'western eyelids'. You'd be so much prettier. "

When will people learn to love their unique features?

"All sets are ideal for encouraging children to engage in role-playing and learning about different cultures and backgrounds."

FAIL.

Creepy... but I don't think it warrants a unicorn chaser. :)

The bridge across the uncanny valley needs some work - the dimples on her face never change, the eyes lack depth (or maybe it's the lighting?), and it would have been better if *all* of her hair moved along with her head... but still pretty impressive!

Just glancing at the still image above, I thought it was a real person.

Even if the trainer is moving the tusk, let's not forget that an elephant's trunk moves independently of it's head and/or tusks.

Wow. I don't post very often, but I would find it very discouraging to have something deleted or "disemvowelled". Although I have seen some disemvowelled entries that, were I a mod, would have been deleted. So I think in that respect that Teresa is rather gracious, if firm in her technique.

I'm thankful for the explanation though. I was under the impression that the comments without any vowels were typed that way voluntarily.

We have a right to free speech, but it is a privilege to post here. So basically, this all boils down to what we all should have learned in the sandbox as children.

"Play nice."

So what if the elephant *was* trained to do it?

To me, that's no different from humans going to art/painting/pottery class. Someone had to teach them how to use the tools. If a person creates an awesome piece of art, it doesn't make it any less beautiful just because someone else taught him/her how to use a pencil or paintbrush. It's still that person's individual expression. To see this coming from an elephant is both fascinating and lovely.

I think it's neat.

Everyone should have them.

Watching someone lick their fingers, and then hand you a print-out from a stack of papers is so disgusting.

The companies may be obligated to use the actual product when making images for the package, but that doesn't mean the pictures aren't Photoshopped to all hell.

Amazing how "delicious" everything looks once it's out of the package. Bon apetit.

I, for one, am outraged!

Barbaric... What an awful way to waste perfectly good meat.

Death - the final frontier...

I like it!

Now the real mystery is, where can I find the font that the question mark is printed in?
