You mean the "lazy or shameless retard" (really, though, "retard"? What the fuck?) who resorted to going around his neighborhood hustling for food stamps by age 10?

I guess you missed the part where Cosby said that only people with "metal disorders" (seriously?) get grades that low. Oh, and then he proceeded to tell Brown that he should not just be disappointed, but ASHAMED that he didn't do more. In front of a whole group of students and parents.

Yeah, I thought that the question of "undeserved" nostalgia was sort of a weird one to ask, anyway. Nostalgia isn't really about saying, "they should bring back this now-outdated thing because it was better". It's about looking back at something from the past and recalling what it meant to you back then - good…

What's weird is when I hear people complain about Pluto being "demoted" or "downgraded" or whatever, as if those mean scientists just decided they didn't like it anymore and said it wasn't a planet, because CLEARLY planets are the only interesting objects in the solar system. No one will care about Pluto now that it's…

Yes, at least in the Amtrak (national passenger rail) system. The only rail right-of-way that Amtrak actually owns is the Northeast Corridor, from Washington to Boston, and this line is electrified. All of the other tracks that they run on are owned and maintained by various freight companies, and that's where the…

And, clearly, judging by the comments, not everyone here feels the same way about vinyl that they do about books. Apples and oranges.

No reason for YOU to have them, maybe. Books are still quite popular in spite of the fact that most people have some method of reading e-books now. Granted, a lot of these reasons are visceral: there's just...something about holding a book, and being able to flip through a book, and picking out a book off of a shelf…

Rail travel is comparitively shitty in the U.S. (outside of the D.C.-to-Boston corridor, anyway), but passenger rail is still huge in Europe, Japan, India, etc. That's because at least the first two have dedicated passenger rail right-of-way and true high-speed rail capability; the trains runs quickly and efficiently,…

OMG, you're right. I just searched for Yelp on the App Store, and it's amazing. At least half of the reviews for the app are actually for restaurants and bars and nail salons and shit. It's unreal.

I looked up CRAB park yesterday to find out what it was (you can even review it on Yelp if you want, well, once you're done reviewing the recycling place, anyway). That is a really cool way that the park came to be, but I was still vaguely disappointed that actual crabs were not involved and that "CRAB" is just an…

Hey, I'm just glad I could finally put my college minor in Stoner Communications to some use.

No, Ed was being a dick. Whether or not he was trying to be a dick, that's where he ended up. Even though he (claims to have) enjoyed the crab cakes, he was unsatisfied with the menu's assertion as to what kind of crab was involved, so he asked his server. And when he wasn't happy with that explanation, he got the…

Ugh. This line though:

It appears to have been some formula Chinese restaurant with "garden" in the name (helpful, I know).

Ed is the worst. Sadly, I know a few people like him (who go on like that about things other than crab), and they are all the worst. "I enjoyed these crab cakes and they had a very appealing presentation, but I'm still going to be a huge asshole about them because I clearly know more about crab than you, a mere food…

The best/worst part of that review is where he blames his inability to "perform" (UGH.) on the fact that the bar let in nothing but ugly girls. His douche gravity is indeed so great that not a single trace of self-awareness can escape.

I'm guessing when Deniz T. calls a recycling center a "mecca for suzuki", he's referring to David Suzuki.

It's like the assholes who insist on keeping the shark-fin soup market alive because of "tradition". Fuck tradition.

Yeah, I looked it up as well and I call bullshit on the claim that they had NO IDEA they were serving whale meat. Seriously? Whale meat is friggin' DARK, and, honestly, looks more like raw beef liver than anything from a fish:

That's really giving that "Most Yinzer Tattoo Ever" dude a run for his money.
