Am I the only one that loves to see trendy stuff taken down a peg when it’s revealed you can do it yourself just so, so easily?

The iTunes card is sold out. Dammit.

It’s even dumber than that. If the chair identifies a potential crime, Batman doesn’t have to arrest the person who was about to commit the crime. He just has to change the circumstances so that the person will not commit the crime. There are thousands of ways to do that without dumping them on the legal system for a

Don’t take this the wrong way, but... they haven’t changed. You have. Comics have always been this dumb and cartoonish, but up until now, you’ve played along. I did the same thing. I gave up on them a few years ago because my entire perspective on them drastically changed.

“Negative Nancy’s”? You mean the people that are going spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on the home that you’re trying to sell? Those Negative Nancy’s?

IMO, I don’t think you necessarily owe someone an explanation or reason, but it’s definitely part of the social contract or “politeness” aspect of our interactions. That’s not to say you can’t just say ‘no’ and walk away, but if it’s a situation that usually comes with an explanation and you don’t offer one, you might

The problem is that articles like this exist outside of that context, except for some lip service early in the instructions. I don’t think anyone has a problem with “buy and return clothes for a job interview to help you get out of poverty”, but these instructions go way beyond that. I mean, you listed “forgot your

Hopkins needs to get the fuck out of Houston while he’s young. This team’s not going anywhere anytime soon, and Andre Johnson is the poster boy for hanging around Houston too long.

I’ve been stiffed before, and I know you’re never supposed to say, “give me a tip, dumbass”, but this is the exception to the rule. $600, 40 pizzas and hours of time? Give me a tip, dumbass.

In my younger days, when I had the hair for it, Robert Smith from The Cure. A little make-up, a lot of hair spray, and you’ve got a costume.

It’s not just the team, everyone on NFL Network this morning is celebrating the guy. He’s “passionate”. He “just wants to win”. He “just wants to fire up his teammates”.

omg that Jobs video... were they presenting it in an abandoned warehouse? My, how far Apple as come.

For once? In Star Wars it was thanks to her that they escaped the Death Star. In Empire, she was in command of the Hoth base defense, she was the one that had misgivings about the cave/space slug, she was the one that didn’t trust Lando and was correct, and she was the one that led Chewbacca, Lando and Threepio out of

I prefer to use my parchment paper to write the screeds I pass around my community. I occasionally nail one to a church door.

That was my first thought when I read the name of the new service. Not that Google was getting into the hardcore porn game (because that would be ridiculous), but that it was making a service for 18+ available that would allow some of the kinds of videos that have to this point been banned. Like... HBO After Hours or

“Drink more cookies & creme milkshakes.”

Okay, but - and I’m not being malicious here - what makes your point of view more valid than mine? You say you’d rather have $250 than the new iPhone, and that other people need to adjust their attitudes. Well, I want the new iPhone more than I want $250. What makes your point of view more valid?

I’m pretty sure nobody is suggesting that.

Thanks!

Look, it’s really very simple.
