The terrorist who comes up with a blight that can wipe out hybrid corn is the one who's going to bring the USA to its knees.

I ordered a new MedicAlert bracelet because they're 25% off today. Online. That's it for the shopping for me.

All I can say is that I'm sure glad I'm not selling computers at Fry's Electronics any more. Black Friday is named for how the employees feel about having to be ready to open the doors at midnight.

Look around for screenshots of Windows 8. Do you really want to be looking at that all day? It's butt-ugly.

The punk-ass kids on Lifehacker aren't as quick with the de-star as the punk-ass kids on Gizmodo. :)

The Muppets who were on Saturday Night Live its first couple seasons were some of the best.

What is it with all the "It's the holidays, so just remember your parents are too stupid to live" articles? They were smart enough to keep punk-ass kids like you from killing yourselves while you were growing up, weren't they?

Get rid of your parents' stuff, hell, I want my kids to get rid of all the stuff they've left all over our storage room and garage.

Maybe it depends on the airport (my friend was flying out of New Orleans). I use a cane myself from time to time and honestly I'd hate to have to hand it over and wonder if I'd ever get it back.

FEED ME, Seymour!

I don't know how to speed up the process if you wear a medical alert tag and have a CPAP machine that has to be checked to make sure that it's not a C4 machine. I did switch from wearing my MedicAlert necklace, which I was always forgetting to dig out from under my shirt, to wearing a bracelet, which they can see on…

I've gotten a lot more suckitude from the package delivery services than I ever have from the USPS. In fact, I've had a PO Box since 1985 precisely because the USPS takes such good care of packages. It's a safe address to give out, too, and provides free entertainment when you get stuff from Publishers Clearing House…

The hazards of three-number passwords, from 1957. Video quality is terrible, but hey, they didn't have VCRs in those days.

Agreed. There is no better reason to think long and hard about buying something than the simple fact that you can't afford it.

No problem with the bed, we've been sleeping on a waterbed for over 30 years. Adjust the heater and the bed's all snuggly warm.

Hey, they thought Johnny Depp could play Tonto.

The email I got from Apple said specifically that my first gen Nano would be replaced with another first gen Nano.

No problem here. I have a 17-year-old cat who's getting very forgetful. He knows he wants something but he doesn't know what, so he comes in here to get me to figure it out. All day long.

Thanks for the information! Our health insurance is through Kaiser Permanente, which is an HMO and has different rules from the PPO insurance carriers. After all these years of the incredible ease and efficiency of dealing with an HMO there's no way we'd willingly change to any other carrier.

That's been the main reason why some people I know haven't gotten pumps. They can't afford them.
