I would have enjoyed this more in rhyming couplets.

@Adam: There are seven Beacon Streets and none of them are the same street. I wish someone had told me that. I was so lost that I was driving on the median and no one on the streets noticed. No one. How is this possible? Boston is the worst.

@goatrope: It's a really interesting book. It's basically falls into that Freakonomics/Gladwell territory, which helped make it a bestseller.

@Triborough: See here: [gawker.com]

@Trick: Okay, maybe *you* shouldn't drive in NYC. I've driven in NYC and throughout Brooklyn and Queens and I am from Flyover country. And, no, I don't live there. I was visiting. It's not that hard. But, honesty, fuck Boston driving. I've never been more lost in my life. At one point, OnStar even said, "whoa, you are…

@McNutsack: the alcohol and the hard knock lives took their toll. Honestly, have you seen an alcoholic gamers picture? I have. Not a pretty sight.

@BillyMurdock: And the alcohol.

@IN THE FACE!: Link to this product on Amazon, please!

@kiddropper: Before the TI-89 but after the TI-83, they used the TI-86.

@Hit Bull Win Steak: Still, nothing will top the French synchronized swim team goose stepping to the platform to the music from Schindler's List back in the day. True story!

@Chip Skylark of Space: Yeah, she did happen because the quote from the story was this:

@whatafxckingloser: This. He's one of those "smart" stoners. Meaning that he won't just give in to the fact that being stoned off your ass makes you sound stupid and instead tries to fight it.

@Agumen: Carrie Prejean still seems to be cool with them.

I would not be surprised if "they named me Sin Halo" was uttered at some point during a trial.

Too lazy to read through comments but Governor Jane Swift did happen.

@balls187: Thanks, Chris Rock.

@joslyn.da001: okay, i thought it was just me. It took me a while to figure out which was MJ. I'm a little off my pop culture game today.

@SinisterBill is bi-console: Kind of. The TSA periodically catches things that people try to sneak on to planes. Also, the TSA allows most of the overwhelmingly anti-terrorism/anti-dying passengers to get on the planes. Therefore, the TSA allows the last and one of the best lines of defense against an on-board…

@OldEnough2BYourMama: Partially. But he wasn't only the TSA no-fly list even though he was denied entry into the UK, so that's partially the fault of poor international communication. The aftermath was all TSA dumbass reaction though.

I assume by "the system worked" she means "United 93" and the "attempted shoe bombing being stopped". Meaning, passengers know what to do when shit gets out of hand in the cabin. Because, that system definitely seems to be working just fine. And I think that's our top-level security.
