"and is not inappropriate to an organisation that's looking to have a firm grip on government spend!"

If thats what they're calling it now. Hey baby, touch my government spending....yeah that's nice.

This is so awesome.

He's looking to get royally messed with by the cops in his town though.

On the next try it hit the very edge of the paddle and go stuck IN the paddle.

Methinks the hit detection be a bit buggy.

The ball hit the left edge and got stuck in a rebound loop just moving up and down the left side.

Only got past the first 4 words.

...and boo to that sneaky "'s" that snuck in there.

After seeing the numbers yesterday and its jump to over 2 million views this morning, its starting to seem like a publicity play. She knows the divorce is coming, her career had somewhat slowed under the umbrella of the marriage. Now that's shes getting dropped, she needed something to start that career back up again. Stir a cup of YouTube with a bottle of her favorite spirit, top it off with a whoooole lotta crazy and blammo, more views than alot of the clips on the site.

@3 Seems a bit dangerous. Are there no hills in Seoul?

Just imagining a situation where a driver returns to their car and its totaled at the bottom of a very large hill.

I went to high school with "Tay Zonday." We weren't exactly friends, even though we were both part of a subset of kids who weren't exactly accepted at any other high school. He left the second semester of sophomore year for starting some controversy that almost got 4 kids undeservedly kicked out of the school. The next time I saw him was all over the internet.

At first it was funny, and I was happy that he found a way to make his natural awkwardness work for him. But now that people keep emailing me links and I keep seeing posts about his "work" online it has gotten a bit tired.

Smart guy though. I do not doubt that he orchestrated the whole meme with planning and purpose.

To add on, the way it was worded was so broad.

"To know for SURE what we as a human race have coming to us after we die..."

That could mean anything. What will happen to the earth after we die? What EXACTLY will happen to our remains after we die? How will the place we inhabited but no longer affect change with time?

You seemed to read that and look only to the possible allusion to an afterlife.

I just made me think a bit.

@#62:

Well, sure, you could go all realist on me. I just liked it for the image it evoked, and the way it related to the emotional state I was in when I read it.

Unconsciousness isn't that simple though is it? When living, we still have some brain function that continues. So there is still something, some feeling, some sense of experience. Maybe not that you can consciously parse, but alot of coma stories include vivid dreams, and other senses of being "there."

While, death, which noone experiences until it comes, isn't something they're going to come back and tell you about.

That quote to me basically said, you won't know for sure until you're there. You can imagine what death will be like. You can assume. But you won't "know."

@#33:"To know for SURE what we as a human race have coming to us after we die is to expect the caterpillar to know what a thermal updraft feels like on fresh butterfly wings."

i really like this.

I don't know, there were a couple people in my classes who seriously detracted from the value of the discussion by participating.

Probably would be a safe bet to say they were the type to buy lecture notes.

On another note, that green hoodie is the business, and I'm totally shelling out the scratch for it.

The sounds from the bikes seemed real enough. And the acceleration from a stop seemed to say it was powered by some kind of small engine.

I'm pretty sure the leashes are to keep them from wandering. You can't give a monkey a sweet ride, then expect him to stick around. He's got miles to burn and countryside to see.

But what's the worst that could happen to you if you buy it as a hobbyist? No Fuji death squads descending on your house? I'm getting one then.

I don't think so but it seems like the right time to name it and spread it around so it becomes common knowledge.

Getting "List Rolled?"

@#21So what? Is that art somehow worthwhile? No, it's not, it's still useless.

I know individuals who put as much (or more) work into their "grafitti" as some of the best "fine" artists. This includes everything from tags to multiple story murals. Because something is beyond your understanding, or outside of your realm of taste, you call it not worthwhile or tasteless. What "use" does Jackson Pollock's work have? What intrinsic "worth" does Kandinsky's work have?

@#27 use graffiti to keep an area poor?...Because these vaunted graffiti-covered neighborhoods come with all that as well.....Even urban neighborhoods that used to be considered a suburb when they were built develop their own sense of style and culture.

I don't believe ZikZak used the word "poor" anywhere in the post. Also, your opinion of "poor" neighborhoods shines in your post. I know many grafitti covered neighborhoods that manage to nourish their children well, school them expertly and avoid violent crime. I grew up in one of them. In your head "working class" equates to "poor" and "graffiti covered" equates to "place to get robbed." Maybe you should make more friends from those places. They could teach you a couple things about change and growth.

Style and culture are subjective ideas. I however have never copied style or wanted to be a part of a culture from a suburb. These places that you say were considered a suburb when they were built, I'm assuming they aren't anymore. So it seems like the suburb had nothing to do with the "style" or "culture" that subsequently developed there.

I think standards are a little less strict for invertebrates. In college they made the difference clear when collecting and dissecting.

Now that's what I call a party.

Think that one Australian kid struck again?

@#117 ABSIMILIARD
"I was shocked at someone wanting to touch a black person's hair because they wanted to know if it felt like wool. I thought we were beyond that.

I wish I would be shocked at the bigotry shown to GLB/TG individuals. But given that this is America I wouldn't be. I would be horrified, and appalled (note the two "P"s indicating the level of appalled). However I wouldn't be surprised."

How are you shocked in either situation? This is America, but no matter how progressive cities and pockets of well-informed individuals become, there will always be those who just don't care to find out for themselves or call their assumptions fact and go about their business.

I don't want to turn this into a commentary about race issues but it's the closest parallel I have personal experience with that can be drawn.

So I'll just say this: If I can still get questioned about my motives, as a reasonably succesful, college educated black man (and we're hella common) based on stereotypes or others who look like me. I imagine the smaller GLB/TB community has a ways to wait before they get basic widespread acceptance.

It shouldn't be that way. But I, for one, am not surprised that it isn't.

@104 Xopher, I definitely got it. Just used a bit of intentional density on my part to segway into the point I wanted to make.

richard d. james?

@100.

We're always angry because we deal with the same kinds of questions on a daily basis. My usual response is patience, even if I want to smack someone for touching my hair because "They just wanted to see if it really felt like wool." or "I've never touched a black person's hair before."

I know that my experience is different than that of TG individuals, but I can say that because of some similarities, I can at least imagine where they are coming from.

Alot of people assume that curiosity gives them the right to be presumptuous. It doesn't. If people wish to go around assuming that it does, don't be surprised when you catch a person on a bad day and receive a dressing down, or worse a severe beating for being disrespectful.

Big ups to Calpernia. You're doing great things girl.

None of the "unwitting suckers" looked very amused. If only one side is laughing how funny is the joke?

There is a whole list of domains that the site is still available under.
