Thirded. Down. Hill. Slope.

Yeah, like in the third movie, where they have a giant rave with half-naked women writhing around in thin tops, panning from gratuitous nipple to gratuitous nipple. Then there's the love scene between Neo and Trinity. I'm with Patrick. The first movie was ambitious. The second and third both felt like total let downs.…

Looks like a Tab! Or t@b. However you like it.

At first I was like, "this is a weird parody, guys mostly sing about 'show me your tits' in a sexual way," and then I remembered the Blood Hound Gang's "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying," and...

I send texts via voice when I'm driving all the time. Not around town, but when I'm doing a 250-mile drive, I shoot off a text now and then to let people know where I'm at. You know, in case I'm abducted by aliens or whatever.

Great idea! If only people weren't already talking on their phones on the bus and train, it might work. People just don't give a fuck. They'll get on a crowded bus and start talking louder and louder to be heard over the din, to sometimes have the most asinine or personal conversations - it never seems to be important…

It's a matter of interpretation, if you like. Sure, the ITU has approved WiMAX, LTE and HSPA+ as 4G, but even in so doing they left the door open for people to point out that "4G" doesn't meet the 4G specification. So it's simply a question of whether you want to go by the spec or by what's been approved. Obviously,…

Sort of... you're right about type one, or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The beta islet cells are destroyed in an immune response. Type 2, though, is, at its most basic, an increase in resistance to the effect of insulin. Abdominal fat is the most resistant to insulin, a hormone that attaches to blood…

Some of them are formal, most of them are brief, but I find Larry Page's enlightening. The first four sentences are almost awkward, but the fifth made me stop for a moment. The image of Steve Jobs early this year, reaching out to Page (a direct competitor in many ways), to give him advice as Jobs' health was leaving…

Food + sex can be kinky and fun, but remember to wait 30 minutes after eating before engaging in rigorous activity. Whether the way you have sex qualifies as rigorous is between you and your pizza-eating female friend.

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment, even though I did write, "this fuckers are rude." ;-)

Weird. Maybe I live somewhere unique - the Pacific northwest is pretty into the whole "buy local" thing - but we have like 6 different credit unions I can think of off the top of my head that are free. One requires that you be loosely affiliated with the county ("live, work, shop, go to school or praise"), the others…

It's funny, I almost never hear anyone refer to the period of laissez faire economics that exists in US history. You'd think free market capitalists would be all over it - we've tried it! We know how well it works! ... except it led to child labor, horrendous work conditions, low wages, long hours, and no protection…

Obviously without prescience it's impossible to know what your banking institution will do in the future, but a lot of credit unions are member-owned and non-profit. That tends to make them less agreeable to trying to nickel and dime you. I'm sure there are plenty of credit unions that charge fees, some of them may…

Right, so I'd been a Washington Mutual customer since I was 18. They got bought out by Chase (may you die in a fire) and I thought, "Man, I should switch to a credit union, but I might be moving away next year and it would be more convenient to have a national bank." So I didn't switch.

These are way better than adult male pull-ups, which was my first thought.

That's a great tribute. Thanks, Blam.

I'm only marginally impressed by press videos. Maybe it will live up to the hype, but few things are as good as their press make them out to be, so I'll withhold judgement until I see some hands on reviews.

Yeah, I figured... it seems kind of like a song meme. You either chuckle whenever someone says, "Rock me Amadeus!" or you have no idea. Now you know!

... but saying, "Play 'Rock Me, Amadeus,'" doesn't let you do it in the Falco voice from the song. You have to be able to say, "Rock me Amadeus, rock rock rock rock me Amadeus," or it just doesn't feel natural.
