That's funny, I must try this with my daughter's picture...

You forgot Alan Alda impersonator. Uncanny!

That photo from the top of the post looks like a subsection of my closet.

I work for SRS (Social and Rehabilitation Services) and though I'm not a social worker, I work in the IT department, I would like to see this in our 'library.' We have a bunch of books we give kids to read while they are here and waiting to be placed in foster care. I say kids but really it's anyone under 18.

A lot of people think I work for the devil, if you think this you're not alone. But these kids are going from a horrid environment to one that is more conducive to not being beaten and raped by family members. Sorry, I'm straying. I think it would be cool to offer this to them to read, if they read it and it provides some kind of comfort or relief to being scared or frustrated or any of the million emotions you get while being placed, it's worth it.

This is a great idea Cory. I guess what I'm wondering is if I qualify for this, since I work in IT and am not a social worker. Also, would it be considered poor ettitquette if I were to have some of the social workers here and at the other offices in our region to submit thier names. Would be cool to have a few copies in case some get stolen.

Also, are there any other authors doing this sort of thing? Would be cool to get more books, we rely on state money to fund SRS and there isn't a lot to go around; so all the books we have are donated from people. A lot of them are romance novels and inappropriate, more for the social workers themselves I think. Would be cool to get more age appropriate book for these kids.

This family needs to be careful, these things have been known to make some serious ehtereal love.

So they're groupies?

I'm going to make a steam powered easy bake oven.

This isn't steampunk; it wasn't painted with steam.

Very well done though. I'll talk to the wife, we needs more arts in the house.

@ #46; At $1500 a pop the company I'm sure has already covered any start up expenses and now is just on the gravy train. I doubt they have any long term goals for the company.

I'm waiting for FOSTER CARE: It's just another family.

Some times you just have to put on the armor of Christ and go to battle against science.

God made drug resistant virii. Duh.

Sadly, it will probably get dismissed on a technicality.

I alwasy associated 'flavor country' with being kinda farm related, cowboys and all that. No reason to think pig piss doesn't jibe with that.

I don't think it will make a difference, most movies nowadays will be 10 times more shocking then this commercial. Unless it's being shown at "Enchanted" or something along those lines, then I would just want to be in the audience to see the reaction.

Geophagy

How about sending one or two of the 150,000 fuckin' pigs offed in Canada recently.

On a related note, I saw on Discovery or maybe it was Nat Geo recently a program on elephants that dig down in a specific pool of water for clay that contains minerals they need in their diet and are lacking. Only that clay has it. That was cool, this is not.

Makes me sad when I hear about stuff like this and I'm sitting here at my desk looking at the lunch I didn't finish because I was busy; I bet there is someone that would want it.

And no, I'm never too busy to waste time in the internet.

This isn't steampunk, it's not operated by steam.

Wonder how long before there's a request for Boing Boing to stop posting about Steampunk.

This is cool though.

Exterminate, exterminate, exterminate.

#19 I'm impressed, not sure that's something to brag about. Pretty impressive though.

#51; Did you see the documentary that was made on him? Was pretty crazy, if you haven't you really oughta.

There is a relatively obscure artist by the name of Wesley Willis; RIP, all of his songs were 2:42 for this exact reason. Sadly, none of his songs were hits because...

Well, look them up I promise you'll be amused.

This may be less about mommy's self esteem issues and more about breeding a future generation that sees plastic surgeory as a legitimate option to make oneself 'pretty' inside and out.

He's just securing his future; 13 or 14 years from now these same kids will be getting the same procedures.

His other trick is removing the hand of anyone that sticks it into his mouth.

You can train em just like dogs.

Why is it that religion always creeps into the really happy threads, but never the ones that aren't.

This wreaks of it. I'm not anti-religion or anything like that; I'm not agnostic or atheist. I don't go to church on a regular basis, but I have gone and will again. This isn't an attack on religion.

Just an observation.

I had heard that if you're thirsty; you're already dehydrated.

My wife always has a drink in hand, of water. She drinks and drinks and drinks. I may have to urge her to see if she may be diabetic.

Really gives you a sense of perspective the picture of her loading those engines.

They look a lot smaller next to the bigger rockets. Enormous.

I used to be a vegetarian, conincidentally it was while I was dating a vegetarian. I think I could eat as a vegetarian would for a night to see some vegan strippers.

As long as said strippers shave, cause a lot of times Veganism and not shaving go hand in hand.

April Fools? Is it too early?

#101 He could very well have been, not everyone that molests someone though grows up to be a molester.

And no; I have no empathy or sympathy for a child molester; regardless of if they were themselves molested.

I would say the same for rapists as well.

#105 To answer your question, yeah I'm not serious. I'm not likening homosexuals to pedophiles, I'm not that rediculous. I'm saying that you can cure a pedophile of his sexual orientation like you could someone that is heterosexual or homosexual. Plainly put you can't.

It's just how people are wired.

Can you cure a pedophile like you can cure a homosexual? Can they both be rehabbed?

I don't care if it is an illness or a sickness or a choice. If you make the choice to do anything to my daughter you get what's coming.

I think that should go for anyone's son or daughter. He should be happy he 'just' has to put a sign on his car. His life could be much worse, he could have been that little boy or girl.

I get those when I clean my belly button too!

This is news? I accidentally almost inseminate my hands and arms on a regular basis.

Al Sharpton should have a press conference to have him fired.

No big deal, not too long ago they were doing lobotomies with ice picks.

I dream of something like this happening to me when I'm masturbating. That guy is so lucky.

Minus the dog part.

I wonder if he peed between her legs when he had to go.

What would possess someone to do that? Maybe she stopped up the toilet and was too embarassed to tell anyone and couldn't find a plunger.

She drank pee, dirty.

I didn't know Steve McQueen was a mobster in the Ukraine. Goes to show, you can be discovered anywhere.

Two things I refuse to go to someone's house for, surgeory and hair cuts.

I'm all for people owning guns though, because without a gun you can't shoot complainers.

He should have eaten it afterwards, could have avoided all this trouble.

Condoms made of this stuff would rock.

It starts out all hard then gets all flacid.

I am on the fence on this issue.

I don't think he should have done that, it was cruel and sensless.

But, isn't this kinda Darwinism at work. If that bird isn't smart enough to move after the, what, 6th or 7th ball. Doesn't it kinda get what it gets?

Either way though he shouldn't have done that.

Some hard journalism.

My mind is titilated thinking about it. I think I'm getting a boner.

Mia Rose is hot. I'd hit it.

Canadians can make movies?

I thought only America did stupid crap like that.

Guess we really are infecting the world with our evangelicals.

At least they haven't hung any women for being raped yet. It's coming though.

Those watches are sweet.

On going watchless, I know that I could and survive. I have my cell phone and the clcok on my PC. But there is something about my watch I don't want to give up. I love the weight ofit on my hand. I enjoy the movements of the hands.

No, I won't be giving up my watch for a phone.

I say give up your phone, get a watch.

I got one that said, "Dog who eats table scraps, gets splinter in tongue."

Of course, the obligatory, ...in bed.

You guys aren't supporting our troops.

Just thought I'd take a moment to say Old Man's War is an amazing book.

Off topic I know, but... well, I've nothing to add.

She should program in her ex husbands name so the kid grows up with a toy hating his/her dad.

I would treasure this toy, don't think my daughter would care what it said.

And besides, these toys are such pieces of dung, you can't understand half of what they say anyway.

#8: I read that post, that's insane that can be done. People are greedy; no doubt about that. You would think that there would be laws that protect you from that. Not laws that reward.

#24: You really asked them not to smoke in their house/apartment?

What happens when a rotten neighbor moves and a nice neighbor moves in?

Earlier posts stated it was near impossable to get a flag removed.

What happens when this starts devaluing your property?

Sounds like a great tool, especially since the neighbors that complain about stuff the most are the rotten ones.

You know this whole situation could have been avoided by a little "Western" MAGIC.

VIVE VIAGRA.

That sucks that there are still places that do crap like this. Just goes to show how far some countries have to go when it comes to basic human rights; even so called indusrial nations. Nations that aren't part of the 3rd world.

Having said that, I can't pass the oppurtunity to say...

"She turned me into a newt..."

"I got better."

"Burn her!"

Think about how many of these nails BNSF has. So many they use them to hold the tracks down.

This should com to no surprise to anyone. One of the first things that was done during the war was securing the flow of oil in Iraq.

Maybe this is why Chaney shot that dude in the face. To show him what happens if people talk.

For all the bad that they did, at least, right now as we speak Bush is giving condoms to Africans.

I made this same comppund in my toilet this morning. I was working with different materials though.

I've got like 15 of these nails of Jesus at home.

Old hat.

I don't need one of these, I just take my TV remote with me and point it at every camera I see while I walk by.

@ #37 Honestly "Mark" this thread is about rice, not your magazine. We don't need your bake sales, unless of course you're selling genetically altered rice. Then it's cool.

Kudos for going to school though. We need to encourage more people to do that.

Cool magazine though, wish it had more articles re: rice though.

Great now people can rob banks in total anonymity. If only that guy that looked like snake eyes were to have this. They'd be hunting a light bulb instead.

I find it despicable this could happen.

Except when I'm at my PC alone in the middle of the night. Then I completely okay with it.

If a plant doesn't do what you want it to, and you can make it, do it. There are always countries in Africa to test this stuff on before we expose people to it. I don't know what you people are so upset about, all the wrinkles have been removed before we even get to read these articles.

It's safe, really.

Would be cool to make an Ent. Now that's some bio-engineering I could get behind.

Thought there were 15. Will have to go recount and figure out why...

So when I'm stealing music, I'm actually teleporting their files to my PC, not stealing music?

Obviously, when you wear shorts like that you have to crank up the masculinity a few notches in order to not become more lady like. This is what I think is happening. I think blame lies on the leaders of this gang of misfits.

Those shorts won out over the other uniform voted on, which was, a baseball uniform, roller skates, mime make up, and baseball bats.

Warriors forever!

Women aren't sufficiently evolved enough to ref a game. At least not in KS.

Someone should sue Yoko for those sun glasses.

Yoko's position is completely reasonable though.

I live in Kansas, what that woman tried to do his horrid. After the game we honor killed her by stoning her.

It's fake, that's not even a real statue. The lightning is real though, I saw it posted somewhere else.

I don't see what you guys are talking about, I guess. Is it her hairstyle or something? That's just how we talk in Kansas ya'll. If you have a problem with it, well you can say it to...my face, biatches.

Peace

Makes it easy to babysit for these women though.

A 4th offense will get your internet terminated via a cable cut in an ocean nearest you.

That is cool.

If only they were to call them "chips" and not fries they'd up their street cred with the Australians. Silly Steakhouse...

So to combat racism I beat people? Symbolically of course...

I bet it's Comcast.

I used to work at Sprint in international LDD and we'd get cable cuts all the time. Never 5 though, I think it's Brittney Spears lashing out again.

Sad thing is he was pulled over 2 blocks from the bank in a COBRA HISS and released because this sketch didn't com out in time.

Wasn't that guy in THX-1138?

Wish someone at the hospital would've given me this warning when my daughter was born. I could've been prepared at least for what is to come...
