Smart parents know how to get the kid out. It really slows down your claw-machine robbing spree when you can only hit one machine a day.

Besides the fact that was...utterly terrible, I kind of like what the controller can do. That being said, there's a fine line between the novelty of having a map in your hands and how long I'm willing to look away from the screen. The only instance in which that could be good is when deploying the drone. Instead of…

How does getting rid of the old console make one a tool when the new console is completely backwards compatible, like the Wii? Especially when I could then sell my GameCube to help fund the Wii purchase? I have no problem keeping a console, but it's a little silly to call someone a tool.

I hope it's compatible with my DreamCast controller.

Glad it's for a light switch and not a toilet. "Insert coin(s) to continue" would get really old with my low-flow john.

Matches are better for lighting pipes, for instance. Conventional lighters (there are specific pipe lighters that use different fuel, though) can leave chemical residues in the tobacco, whereas matches burn off the nasty stuff in a couple seconds.

It'd have a much cooler effect when you smash it after your sweet uke solo.

What's wrong with enjoying wiping your ass? I'm just a fan of cleanliness, I swear.

Hm, I've never heard of those Pelican cases. Pretty nifty.

Not bad, just annoying when posting something like a picture. Unless they've also fixed viewing images within the app, everything you post has to be opened externally in a browser.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and wonder, "Why the hell did it take us so long to invent that?"

Does it still force t.co links? Because that's still a deal-breaker.

I was pretty sure creating a game on my TI-83 was the pinnacle of brilliance for a high-schooler.

I was gonna say...if you like mazes, this is even worse for distraction.

I love 'em that way. That's why I only make my fried eggs after cooking bacon in my cast-iron skillet. None of that non-stick crap for me.

Now /that/ is brilliant.

I don't buy the "medical reason" argument. After I made my comment, I discovered that there actually are a number of airlines who are now installing seating that doesn't recline at all (mostly budget airlines, but now even AirFrance). If there were some universal medical necessity, would these airlines be allowed to…

Sometimes I wonder if the people who design economy-class seating actually have ever flown economy. I'm a smaller guy (165lbs/5'9"), so I usually have no need to recline my seat. That being said, I love to recline, but still hate it when people recline in front of me. When are these designers going to get it in their…

Yep, it's my current screensaver. [9031.com]

So does it work the same way as the NFL, drafting players from college? Or can you draft whoever you want? I can't wait to see someone draft Brett Favre.
