Many years ago, my father accidentally put the turkey roaster into storage before the carcass had been cleaned out. The next Thanksgiving, that roaster was opened for the first time in a year. What was inside looked much like this.

I'm concerned. If they're dueling, that probably means one of them will die, or at least be seriously injured. Am I supposed to tote around a tablet with a corpse OS trapped inside?

Blame the engineers? Naw. Blame the lyricists, the promoters, the record company executives, the radio station's program managers and the people of poor taste who encourage it all by buying crappy music. But leave the engineers out of it.

Seattle would be glad to have them. It seems four-way intersections here only earn stop-sign rights after the third fatal accident.

My wife wants a tablet, but it MUST also have a Kindle app. Until a few days ago, my advice was to wait until iPad 2 comes along. But I can't honestly make that recommendation anymore — not with all this doubt about whether Kindle will continue with its iOS app in light of this requirement. Last night I told her to…

If misguided reasoning and intentional ignorance are what it takes to keep the jackass next to me from cell-yelling into his phone from takeoff to landing, then long live this splendid lie.

Well, that's spiffy. But how 'bout them data plans? Looks like using the laptop dock isn't that much different than tethering some other phone to a real laptop. So what's it going to be — $20/month for 2 GB? I've got a feeling AT&T is getting ready to ugly this thing up.

@Kaiser-Machead: Good point. I tried watching something on Hulu+ on a PS3, but it said I don't have permission to stream this show to a television. So I schlepped my laptop over, hooked it up to the TV ... and streamed the show to a television. Who do they think they're kidding?

So one or two commercials per break is too many ads? Ads are by far the LEAST annoying thing about Hulu. I'd gladly sit through three or four ads per break if that's what they're playing, and I don't care if I can't fast forward. Hell, they even give you a countdown timer so you know exactly how much time you have to…

My God ... it's rectangular!

So if she failed at getting her real message across to so many readers, does that mean she has to rewrite her book 200 times?

@highfloydelity: I don't remember him dying either, but maybe Nolan is just trying to retain some semblance of reality. If a guy with burns that extensive fled the hospital before treatment was finished, he wouldn't make it more than a couple of days, max.

It sounds like I would honestly enjoy reading an unauthorized, no-bullshit biography about this man. "Scott Redmond: A Life on the Scummy Underside of the Cutting Edge"

@zhinker: Perhaps a good wedgie, then?

Every time a cop uses a taser in a dumb way, we hear about it. Now we're seeing a cop NOT use a taser when it probably would have been the safest way to take the guy down, especially since the cop had him from behind.

Lasers ... Four Loko ... Fen-phen ... Is there no buzz the FDA cannot kill?

Maybe there's a huge legal and cultural difference between the U.S. and Sweden, but to this American mind, sex w/o a condom while she's saying "hey, stop that, put on a condom!" sounds pretty rapey. Did Sweden's lawmakers consult Whoopi when coming up with this one?

Between the ages of 6 and 10, I tried doing this every single time I was in a McDonald's. The result: it tastes mostly like mustard.

@Volanova: And maybe the circle-walkers also managed to avoid wandering into another group's territory (which could result in a rock to the head).

I realize these horror stories aren't happening to every person who passes through security, and that some TSA agents really do it correctly.
