<gasp> Thanks Bin. I thought I was a goner. <wheeze>

I proved it was not my day to die.

Nope, let go of a ground wire and dropped it onto the hot bus. Bright flash then darkness.

It is with a certain degree of grateful humility that one puts down the screwdriver and goes outside to reset the 200 amp breaker at the meter.

I've heard that Billy Mays tribute camp is looking for a boomin system. They're bringing 5,000 Garden Weasels for gifting and are looking for a way to spread the word.

Snarky? ME??? Perhaps the crappy slow download got me started in a pissed off mood. Perhaps the car-stereo reference was unfair. It sounds like it was a reasonably good car stereo turned up to 11 not a crappy one. When I load it into my wave editor, I see 4-6 dB clipping on most of the tracks. That'...

Sorry, but that's not a flaw of walking.

A rap album, very similar to every other rap album, with three sentences of Burning Man imagery overdubbed onto the first tracks. Mastered on a car stereo turned up to 11. One hour to download. Ten minutes to form an opinion. Every minute wasted. If you are a personal friend, or a rabid fan of every...

If we cannot outlaw them, then we must make them mandatory. or visa versa.

What the hell is wrong with WALKING? If you want to RIDE everywhere, go to fucking Disneyland. Walking is part of the deal. We have a whole freaking WEEK! What is the big hurry? Unless the buses are AIR CONDITIONED. Then I'm all for it. But only if it doesn't raise the ticket price. And they better ...

I just listened to the whole thing. (and that NEVER happens)

I never mistake the lump under my sleeping bag for anything.

Ding. You just lost my sympathy vote. I'm starting to be able to read between the lines. So why DID you return the RV with dusty cushions? Seems like that would have been one of the EASIEST things to clean. And one of the first things they'd spot. RV looked like a frat party when you returned it, di...

Free hookers for all!

Let me first say that Evil Doers of this type should be skinned alive. Having said that.... I've had stuff "stolen" and spent long time throwing a fit and looking around for someone to kill, and then found my stuff exactly where I'd forgotten I left it. Oops. I've also watched countless people come ...

There is no need for ads, just classifieds and forum discussion with advertisers about their products and with other users. Besides I use adblock, so I never see ads. Makes everything faster too. An ad by any other name.... is still an ad. An ad is a message posted by someone who is trying to sell ...

Commerce? Hell yes, why not. As long as the ads are in their own sandbox. Might as well auction the space. Advertisers who spend the most money get the biggest ads near the top. The cheapskates get the tiny free ads at the bottom. It's the American way! Let the advertisers put their money where thei...

yes, you're supposed to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

You go first. then it's my turn.

Awwwwwwwww!

Do I really have to dig an 840 foot hole for the 900 foot tower?

Nope, just me.

Can you tell me where's the men's?

Everybody whines about the cost of fuel.

How high would the price have to go for you to stop buying it?

Whine all you want. That price is coming.

if I wear panties, can I go with you on your raid, Lothos?

Oh the vanity! Writers do work for hire. When we start paying residuals to the guy who lays the carpet, or fixes your car.... Shouldn't the guy who installed the window get something every time you look out? Or what about teachers?!! They should get paid every time you use a bit of the knowledge the...

I though it was low-maintenance that one could smell. <smirk>

But wait, that's French, too, isn't it?

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a slice of your cake today.

The French say: "Let them eat cake."

American's say: "How much for the cake?"

There IS no exit strategy, none needed. We are having cake and negotiating a price.

Didn't security jump her as she was LEAVING the terminal? Seems like they kinda missed the boat. Folks trying to justify taking her down because of what MIGHT be are conveniently overlooking that. If it WAS a real bomb, it would have already gone off. A case of LEO's who can't bear passing up a chan...

The system is broken. If I want to make a fuss, I do/wear something that will call attention to itself and the authorities have a cow because it MIGHT have been a bomb. If I want to blow something up, I make every effort to insure that the first time my work is noticed is when people hear the bang. ...

I've always thought that Burning Man would be a great place to go to die. But current events make it seem that you may have set the age limit a bit high.
