I await the time when we're making all the crap for Chinese Wal-Marts.

I will some day make these for my future children for a fraction of the cost. (Even when the future dollar is nearly worthless.)

I've seen shoes with curvy bottoms (some sort of orthopedic shoe, maybe?) that might work better for this concept.

That would be sex film, wouldn't it?

"Makes me wonder just what they're up to in the sunflower state!"

There are no other crimes there I guess so they have to harass guys doing cool stuff. It's the same in any small town. Burbank, right in the middle of Los Angeles, is a small town with small town cops. Catch a guy jaywalking and 4 squad cars will show.

Makes absolutely no sense. Which sounds just about right for Warhol.

Fake.

I go to farmers markets every weekend to buy strawberries. If they got any sweeter my teeth would rot out.

I thought, "Hey...my extremely flat-footed wife might like these Vibram shoes Cory's talking about!" Then I saw them and thought, "Hey, my wife would kill me if I made her wear those!"

Whoever suspended these kids was a complete drag when he was in high school and he's a complete drag now.

Is this why I crave it like a pregnant woman? The nearest Pinkberry is too far from me. So I've taken to going to one of the many clones around town with exactly the same product and sometimes even better. I call them all Fakeberry.

Pointless. Agreed with #1. The end.

Tunebite can un-DRM all that music, but it would take quite some time if anyone has bought a significant amount of music from the MSN music store.

You think this is bad? Do NOT Google conjoined twin porn. You will not be delighted.

This calls for a Flickr group of that entire parking lot.

I'm anxious to hear from a tourist treated like this. Certainly can't be good for business in the UK for the locals to harass all that money coming in.

34% will sound quite low to some European friends of mine. I have a Swedish friend who asked me if I had a gun since he assumed all Americans had them. (I do not.)

Heartbreaking, indeed. However, I would have thought twice about making the face of this tragedy a woman with 18 children in that video. Because that's just fucking ridiculous.

Whoever edited these should have their After Effects taken away. Those random words that would appear HUGE on-screen for no reason are amateurish and annoying.

That aside, Jaime Hernandez is one of my favorites. Thanks for the link!

Mark Smith's one of the best new writers in comics. And I'm not just saying that because he's my pal. Well, partly. But he writes fun fun comics!

Douchebags from the 20s!

Yeah..the pre-dip. I was taken aback by that the first time I dined at Philippe's. And I wasn't blown away by the sandwich either. Until I spread their brown mustard on it. Holy cow. I almost ate the plate.

#6: The nose continues to grow as we age, so it makes sense that the statue (which is Leonardo at his youngest) has the thinnest nose.

Tagging one's nickname all over the place hundreds of times isn't art. Everything else is up for grabs.

Boooo! They disappeared one by one over the course of the day. :(

I don't condone violence against anyone. Still, this gives me the giggles.

15: He cut it off on the propeller of a remote control airplane, not a model plane. I've seen a guy almost get his hand cut off by one of those.

Marvel Comics' The Lizard had it all wrong.

Dropped by the Target in Burbank (suburb of Los Angeles). They had one shirt left, Tower of Goo. I bought it. Glad it was a medium. Burbank's a bit of a nerd center, being close to several movie, tv, and animation studios so I'm not surprised they're all gone.

As for the game, it seems more like a proof of concept but it's playable and has neat physics. I suck at it.

StanfromBrooklyn done messed up whilst copying and pasting.

By the way, I was posting on behalf of artists, being one myself. Pull all the pranks you like. Just don't damage my shit.

Starcadia, get over yourself.

It would be different if the art were damaged in any way. Not exactly anger-worthy to pull black cloth of your precious artwork. Artists, get over yourselves.

Agreed with all others suspicious of the "math" aspect of this. If anything, they recognize a larger group of fish rather than the fish sitting there and counting individuals to determine group size.

I have a version of this sticker in my home bathroom that I got out of Mad magazine years ago. :)

I caught the last 20 minutes of this movie on television last Friday night in a Pismo Beach hotel. I was riveted and confused by it. The first thing I did when I got home was Google it.

And people thought I was crazy when I would shave my beard before flights.

How many goddamn Jack Kirby books do I have to buy??? One more, I guess...

I love this ride, too. It's always a nice oasis when going to Disneyland.

My take.

:)

It only takes one dude to walk up calmly to one side of that thing and push it over.

That thing is expensive! Can't wait for the inevitable Chinese rip-off for 20 bucks.

Also, if anyone thinks that having a huge imprint of a gun on the outside of your bag means you have a gun in your bag, then this country's more retarded than I imagined. This isn't a cartoon, for chrissakes.

Hey, a teacher created it. It MUST be real!

Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

Fuck it, I'll join MyGhost.

Awww...Pea Soup Anderson's is a must-stop for the kitsch alone. I've only had the soup once and it wasn't bad. Tastes like every other bowl of pea soup I've ever had. We'll have to try Ellen's next time.

So that's how the mutant humans from Beneath the Planet of the Apes tortured Charlton Heston!

A friend of mine described this exact thing while on acid.

It's all fun and games 'til the kid starts getting pummeled at school.

I've hiked the Nike Missile site. Great views up there.

Here's hoping the second verse isn't the same as the first.

I already use Tunebite for the very few DRM files that I come into contact with.

I just sent a giant box of old action figures to my little nephews. Sigh...I want an ugly lamp!

Jesus wears too much rouge.

It tastes like chicken.

There are a dozen or more videos like this on YouTube. I'm not for wrecking public places or private property. But I'm REALLY not for cops abusing their power.

"The cop should be given a medal" for practically chocking and manhandling and throwing a little scrawny kid on the ground?

How about this: "Hey kids, no skateboarding here. Move away from this area, now."

That's it. No yelling. No revealing daddy issues surfacing. Just doing the job.

Ugh. I feel bad for her ignorance and for the fact that she'll be beaten to a pulp before the end of the day by any black kids that happen to know her.

Why would not calling her band Lennon end her career? Just change it and move on.

Also, are all her fans music fans or fans of naked tattooed chicks?

I was making my way through these! Now they're all gone. Bummer...

My first thought was "douchebags". :)

Congratulations! Boing boing boing...

Just when I start to think that I'm a huge nerd, someone comes along and makes me look like George Clooney.

SPACE ROACHES!!!!!

Then there's this bit of genius, sadly yet appropriately set to the rap song Walk It Out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU3N5c2Kxnw

I don't sneeze with sudden exposure to bright light. But if I'm having trouble getting a sneeze out, any bright light makes it come faster. I always look like a freak when I'm in front of other people and making the "I'm about to sneeze" face while looking for an exposed light bulb to look at.

Yikes. Any time I write a check to a friend, I almost always write something horrible on the memo line. I anxiously await the follow-up call/email.

Steve Allen's a talented comedian but I don't know if he knows anything about guessing velocities.

Can one make pancakes with these, too? That would be cool.

#12: "I know that the paranormal events that happen in my haunted house is real."

I've had a few experiences in old houses that at the time I thought were genuine hauntings. But with a few minutes of critical thinking, I've been able to discount them all.

I find Randi's challenge parameters more than fair. Stupendously fair, in fact. Independent, double-blind testing. It's as fair as it can get.

I'd love to see all the evidence you've collected that proves your house is haunted. I'll pass it along to Randi.

They should have set aside some of that pageant money for speech therapy. The girl talks like she's partially deaf.

JJasper: Niggy Tardust by Saul Williams? It's not a mash-up record.

I haven't listened to this yet, but I haven't given up on mash-ups either. Most are horrible and usually badly mixed and horribly timed. But every once in a while, a gem will come through that makes me spend the day looking for more.

Reminds me of traffic in the Philippines. Same kind of driving. I thought I was gonna die every time I went out. When I got back to where I was staying after a day out, I'd blow my nose and it looked like I'd been snorting charcoal dust.

Esther: He writes comic books, usually the superhero variety with biting commentary. Call them superhero comics for people who used to like superhero comics. (He did one that essentially had a Superman type and a Batman type as lovers.)

This sounds like typical Ellis, and I love a lot of his comics, but I wonder who the first guy was to refer to robots calling humans "meat bags". Because if it's Futurama, then Ellis could have been a little more creative here.

I read this article awhile back while doing the usual random link-surfing. Such a great story. With a conclusion made possible by the internet.

I've had artist friends kicked out of malls for sketching passers-by. It's ridiculous.

My eyes rolled all the way around for this one. Man, that hurt.

I first heard about Six Sigma from an episode of NBC's 30 Rock. I thought Tina Fey had made it up. It's less funny now that it's real.

Even at low res you can see that the dog's little chin wrinkle flaps are exactly the same as Fox's. Anyone saying "the rug is different!" might as well say "the Fox dog has a hat!" I'm a professional Photoshop user. My wife is an amateur, at best, and she could have done this and have it air. Low res TV is remarkably forgiving. I bet the original Photoshop image looks like shit compared to how it aired.

I agree that it was probably a mistake by some low-on-the-totem employee. Fox is still responsible. They put it on TV.

Damn. I was just there a couple weeks ago and rode the Monorail for the first time in probably 15 years. Wish I'd waited a bit! (It was cool to ride the subs again though.)

If you're ever in Westwood, California, check out the cemetery there. It's the creepiest celeb cemetery, where visitors leave lipstick marks on Rudolph Valentino's tomb and fans around the world leave gifts for the body of that little girl from Poltergeist. --shudder--

That is a bright yellow. I'd say thieves can see them from inside the mall.

This website is not ready for prime time. Looks like it's buggy as hell, already has spam posts, and doesn't have a preview so there are tons of blank entries.

My wife bought a car from her car salesman cousin. When she inquired what does "extra clean" really mean, he said it was just bull$hit to sell the car. In fact, ALL the signs were. Lies are everywhere!

You'd never know this thing had any downsides with the thorought handjob Charlie Rose gave Besos last night on his show. (Not sure if it's Rose's fault, but he threw a lot of research at Besos and none of it was devil's advocate stuff.)

I also think this is a cool idea. I'm going on a plane tomorrow and bringing three books with me, 2 hardcovers. I'd rather have a Kindle-type device. But I want my books like I want my music. I want total control of my media.

I played the hell out of the old version, but on a Commodore 64 (way better than an Apple II :) ).

This new version looks great. PS3 only though. I so don't want to buy another console.

Looks like Sandy's popular today:

An internal server error occurred. Please try again later.

I'll try and sign up later after the rest of the planet's done.

Gorgeous.

strato: I couldn't find any specifically. Although the old guy waking up in the lower left looks like an old Tin Tin. :)

Gamma: I doubt this was used for stop motion but it's a good guess. I don't have a guess myself. Okay...how about an old tymey roach clip?

The whole place looks like Shawshank Prison to me.

My wife and I drove by this thing the other day. I didn't see it, but I thought for a second that she was losing it when she said, "There's a house on the freeway."
