At least where I am, all the major food chains serve breakfast and lunch food all day. Jack in the Box started this, and I think they do it nationwide.

I wish we had Sonics, though. That new Toaster thingy with Pepper Jack cheese looks yummy.

They absolutely ARE restricting domestic travel! I live in Hawaii: we need a plane to go between CITIES! Thankfully, TSA restrictions are a bit lighter for commuter airlines (I work at one)

We have to be real hardcore about IDs, but we can let you keep your water. I think it's a good tradeoff.

#15: Drinking: You're doing it wrong.

We are all now doomed.

Blacker than the blackest night, times a thousand!

Shark can be good, I understand. But that one sounds nasty.

That No Reservations episode is the best one of the series, IMO.

I want a plugin that turns the world into an RTS like CounterStrike or Half-Life II, or even DOOM.

Unfortunately, this would probably have applications in desensitizing soldiers to killin'.

80% to 90% is great for honor-pay, isn't it? I know actual traditional systems don't usually have that level of compliance, unless he's separating it from other lossage.

In which case it's still pretty good, innit?

I always have a problem around the part where one of the astronauts goes EVA; there's this odd breathing sound effect which synchronizes my breathing and puts me to sleep.

I think this is how my folks used to put me to sleep.

The issue of a sex offender registry is different from pedophile registration. In some locales, PISSING IN PUBLIC gets you tagged as a sex offender for life.

Ellison's craziness isn't terrible or anything; it's the familiar luddism of people of his age who don't understand the Internet and see it eating their lunch.

Niven's statements, taken at face value, are evil. In the past, I understood he had a problem with gay Kzin, too. He and Pournelle are part of the strange cadre of SF writers who can't or won't understand the Internet either. It makes them sound like cranky old men, and makes one wonder who ate the brain of the visionary that used to be there.

In occultism, Tantric magic is best known for its incorporation of sex. In a more prosaic sense, it's major selling point/use is the ability for men well-trained in tantra to hold their orgasm for a very long period of time.

Sting, for one (the musician, not the wrestler) has claimed to last as long as seven hours at a stretch using such techniques.

So, yeah, most tantrics probably have better things to do than cast death spells. ;-)

Second the notion it's not Comic Sans. The "t" looks too much like a Christian cross, and it has too much character to it; it looks more like "Village" (The Prisoner font), but that's serifed so its not.

These are new? I saw similar ones in France years ago-(God, like twenty...shit, I'm old). I cleverly figured I'd cheat the machines and let one of my fellow-travelers enter as I left.

I got to poo, and he entered right when it started its self-cleaning cycle.

So, I got my money's worth at least.

Second poster--does your comment mean the self-cleaning thing doesn't work anymore? Pity, as that actually made paying to go potty worth the money. Why pay if it stinks worse than a blind alley?

Hey, Jon, Canadian? This song has that beat: Golden Earring are German!

The bipedal kitties make the whole picture. Very cute.

Sounds like an asshole, says the guy (me) who works for a small commuter airline. That said, I nearly threatened to put a couple on a no-fly list for giving me some lip after my airline screwed up (cancelled) their flight. Luckily for them, I came to my senses before speaking and just hung up on 'em.

Really, as long as wackjobs like Huckabee are serious candidates here, we in the U.S. have no business ridiculing this guy. Aliens aren't any more ridiculous than a 4000 year old earth.

So, does this mean that if we live somewhere an artist is never going to appear, that we are STEALING MUSIC?

Yeah, Elaine. I would be so freaked out if my kitty fell off the balcony ONCE that he would be an indoors kitty for the rest of his life.

I see the purpose for this, but that is the saddest thing I've seen in...uh, the last hour I guess. (Read the Amber story yesterday, so I can't say this is the saddest thing I've seen in a long time.)

I am fairly sure the X-Files like music is from the remixed long version of the X-Files theme from Mark Snow's "The Truth and the Light".
