Oh, yeah, definitely. I just hope that she can't keep it going long enough to drop a few hundred on a PS4, rather than another PS3.

I always liked the concept cars that showed up on the last page of my Pop Sci-for-middle-schoolers magazine. I can't remember the mag's name but I sure do remember the Jeep/dunebuggy hybrid with a built in tent, surfboard, and picnic supplies. It was black and electric lime. Then there was the bright royal blue…

I would like for this car to be in all the movies from now on. It's beautiful.

East Baton Rouge Parish is one of the famed "Florida Parishes". Florida used to come all the way over: the southernmost counties of Alabama and Mississippi were part of Florida as were some of the eastern/southeastern parishes of Louisiana. So...

The thermal paste suggestion is a good one, if you are comfortable with that. I totally killed our fatty playing Resistance 2 after downloading their last update way back when. Some of the folks I've met playing BF3 talk about living in a paradise that has actual businesses that will do the thermal paste and other…

Oh wow, I've been commenting all over this post. It showed up as new/latest for me. ?? A bunch of people are going to be in your shoes the next time they log in. F'in Kinja should be on every list of most hated names.

WTH "Pork Chop" is on there as an actual little girl's name.

So..."Lux" or "Luxx": I've only ever seen it spelled out at schools and camps and the like. How do you pronounce it? Is it Lukes, Looks, or Lucks? If a 3-4 letter name is that confusing, I really think it shows that there is no reality in which choosing that name was a good decision or cool in any way.

Even the guy in 5th Element spelled it Corbin. On the other hand, if the commenters real lat name is Wolfe, I like what they did: Korben Tiberius Wolfe sounds great. Just not for my kid.

Dbl post.

No, i'm guessing it's for jonathon adler. The designer/decorator giuy who loves bananas. Everyone these days likes to think they are "soooo into design" just because they signed up for pinterest.

Parent for when they turn 25, not a day earlier. Before starting my own family I raised a lot of other people's kids including dozens of teenagers. Seriously, try to make them ready to be a good, responsible 25 year old. Any younger than that and they just usually aren't going to get why you have certain rules and…

You didn't recently get No Script or change your cookie/privacy settings did you? Maybe you blacklisted something on another site that is also used here? I had that happen when I marked cloudfront as untrusted on a site I don't visit often, but then I ended up having to clear it for a site I frequently check. It was…

Oooooh, Barbara Cartland! You just took me back with that. Her crap was the worst crap, but when there was nothing else left to read in the house, yes, I did turn to my mom's Cartland books. Those back cover photos: w.t.h.?

With kids like those, I'm glad you've found a way to nourish your soul. ;) I kid.

haha. mario brothers/world deathmatch would be awesome.

Oh yeah - the sun attacking you! and that fish i could never get away from. underwater worlds were the worst levels for me. amazing game.

RE: Heavy Fire - If you will let hamsters make games, expect stupid AI. ;)

You just need to craft an excellent reply ahead of time that includes a social faux pas hook. I like to use genetics and morbid interest, i.e.: Oh, no, noooo, actually I'm really lucky. The genetics in my family are greaaaaat! My mawmaw is 86 now and she still doesn't even have reading glasses! (Raise eyebrows) Can…

The only way I could take this less seriously would be if it was Ballmer doing the chinwagging.
