A piece of steel wool and a 9V battery in your backpack when you go hiking is an excellent fire starter and doesn't take up much space or weigh a lot.

It's kinda cool but even if I had that kind of money to blow on a watch and not feel it, I'd spend it on something far more entertaining...like a Jet Ranger and a helicopter rating for my pilot's license.

And if you order before midnight tonight we'll throw in a free Sham-Wow.

I wish Home Depot would run that special again where you could get a discount on a new drill when you turn in an old one. Bought a lovely Makita last year that way (with a thousand year old POS drill).

When I was in high school, my school took part in a "Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't" commercial for Mounds & Almond Joy. Ah the good old days.

But Rosie O'Donnell said you can't melt steel with fire.

But Woz said that Android would rule the world just like the PC and Microsoft dominated the desktop.

The hypocrisy of this is astounding. Requiring people of Middle Eastern heritage or people in traditional Muslim dress to get extra screening is profiling and won't be tolerated but feeling people up eight ways to Sunday is just fine and dandy. Notice in her speech that she doesn't say that Muslin women in…

Carob sucks. Now on the other hand, I have in the past bought an 11 lb slab of Belgium chocolate for baking needs. THAT is a thing of beauty.

@San Francisco Kid: But yet every friggin' car dealership has sh*tload of helium-filled balloons all over their lots nearly every day of the year.

I think it's time to implement the Cocoa-Kyoto treaty and institute a chomp-and-tax plan to punish the people eating too much chocolate and redistribute that surplus chocolate to the people who don' t have any.

That's nice but it's nothing compared to this:

@notdjperez: I checked yahoo finance when I posted it. Actually, Apple is only trading at around 16 time earnings which by Jim Cramer's methods is a much better metric than the actual price of the stock. Hell, Berkshire Hathaway has a per-share stock price of $125,560 but I'll bet you wished you bought it when it…

@Berkeley: Your mother puts license plates on your underwear? How do you sit?

*sigh* That brings back memories. Coulda, shoulda, woulda. But I digress.

"That's a wonderful story, Bode. I've noticed you've stopped stuttering."

Now what would be really cool is if this were tied into the Google Earth 3D city model databases and you could see the TIE fighters zooming around the buildings.

@notdjperez: Fun facts: Apple's market cap is $286 billion. Microsoft's is only $231 billion. They both took in $65 billion.
