DISQUS

Second Coming is still one of my favourite albums...no matter how slammed it gets.
Hell, it got an honourable mention in Shaun of the Dead...so don't make break my foot off in yo ass.

"sitting out on Google Videos (which I'm stunned is still up and running in the wake of Youtube)."

You do know that Google owns YouTube right? They operate both sites.

I only hope that these traffic management systems run on an operating system platform that is not subject to weekly "security" patches and frequent reboots...

THIS LIST IS A BUNCH OF BULLOCKS!!!!!1!

I like Endless Tweets and Twitter Fantastico. Troy's Twitter Script is kinda buggy.

"nothing hard comes out of the druitt"

That would get the message through to me, and I'm a retard when it comes to spotting these things. Good luck ^_^

chanology *ducks*

"1. People who point at their wrist asking for the time… I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?"

What if it's noisy, and they don't want to be impolitely loud?

"3. When people say “Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too”. Damn Right! What good is cake if you can’t eat it?"

This saying comes from the dichotomy of having something and spending it as well. For instance, you had five dollars in your pocket, but you went to Wendys and spent it on some food. Now you don't have the five dollars anymore; you can't have your money and have spent it, simultaneously. Just like you cannot have a cake and just have eaten it, either; once you eat it, it's gone.

"4. When people say “it’s always the last place you look”. Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you’ve found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?"

I know I've overlooked things I've searched for, only to find them again. In these instances, the item was in a place I'd looked before.

"6. People who ask “Can I ask you a question?”… Didn’t give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?"

Again, being polite. Perhaps you've heard of it?

"7. When something is ‘new and improved’. Which is it? If it’s new, then there has never been anything before it. If it’s an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn’t be new."

Say you invented the clay jar. It's a receptacle of pretty much anything that'll fit--water, sand, mummified organs, etc. But the damn thing tends to break easily, so, after a few thousand years of breaking your clay jars, you invent the plastic bottle. It's the same class of thing (a receptacle), but it's much more durable...an improvement. But it's also made out of new materials, with a completely different process of manufacture as the clay jar. Thus it's also new.

There are innumerable examples, from the automobile to antibiotics to computers to buildings and business models. Pretty much every single "new" thing out there is an improvement on something that came before it.

"8. When people say “life is short”. What the hell??? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!!! What can you do thats longer?"

You can build a castle that will last for a thousand years, or a pyramid which will stand for ten times as long. You can formulate ideas which transcend time and, eventually, space long after you yourself have gone. You can paint a mural or compose a document that changes the world. There are any number of things one can do to transcend their death, from art to architecture, science to philosophy. In the grand scheme of things, the lucky among us have nine or ten sets of ten years on this planet, but there are a happy few who will never be forgotten. Tutahnkamun, Caesar Julius, Mohommed, George Washington, Albert Einstein, to name but a select few. What about the extinct--and forgotten--architects of such ancient wonders as Stonehenge and Newgrange? We do not even know their names, but their works persist, and will survive long after our own names have been brushed from the rubbish bin of memory.

"9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks “Has the bus come yet?” If the bus came, would I be standing here???"

Multiple busses often come to the same stop. The bus to which they are referring isn't even likely to be the bus you mean to catch, if there are more than three routes stopping there.

This is so cool to see.

Oh, sorry, you misread--he wrote "woman," not whore.

using a mac+OSX for a display?! no wonder they are in financial distress.. what waste of money! I hope tax payers are angry about this huge waste of $6K USD for a sync booth display

Maybe it's supposed to be like this, but second to last panel shows the sheet on the sword when he just took it off.

Should you have made the National Lampoon cover available under a Creative Commons license on Flickr? Poor dog.

I'd kill for an MP3 package...

I never recline my seat -- for exactly the reasons you mention. I made one exception on my last flight ... but only because there was an empty row behind me.

If the Democrats keep this nonsense up, the Ass is f***ed.

I only voted for abstract because i was hoping the theme would be a 100% SVG one.

but if you could take the effort to vectorize the other categories, then any subject is ok for me.

that's just me though. =p

If they at least agreed to increase compensation to keep up with market averages and inflation, then we'd have a reason to work as hard as we did when there was a chance of being recognized and rewarded for the effort and accomplishments. Considering that the executives earn more money in a couple years than the average tech worker does in a lifetime, I think it's more than fair for them all to take $1/y.

try mixing candy corn (is that an american-only thing?) with salted peanuts and make a snack mix. it's quite the voracious flavor clash.

hahahahahaha it's as good as you said it would be

that wood paneling is straight sexy

where i come from, chips are a sign of the hard sacrifices guests make to please the host. it is a sign of honor and deep, ethereal respect to the host and his/her ancestors to provide food (particularly chips) and to let them eat them later on in solace and prayer. the fact that you broke this time-honored tradition by blatantly insulting the host and usurping the clever chips surely means you now have a 1-way ticket to hell.

That was brilliant! :D

The whole thing was good, but the Epcot joke really stuck out to me because I can totally see someone saying the exact same thing about Bush. This is good (because it means the joke isn't sex), but also very scary, because it reminds me how much Bush and Palin have in common.

:( Sorry everyone, I don't know how to do the cool quote thing.
