oh, and as an aside, have any of you tried smearing Sriracha all over your pizza? I highly recommend it for enhancing the flavor of Sriracha.

that article was about Canadian sushi restaurants. i'm sure that the sushi chefs down here don't mind my dunking their edible art into my soysabi death juice.

i thought i quoted that one right but 'the ? is *NOT* X.' (pause) 'the ? is Y.'

2007 Mar 11 01:53 (#3240.9356):
Nice, some total farker should submit this for a photoshop contest.

2007 Mar 11 01:35 (#3239.9355):

Derby hats shall be worn by all members who elect to partake in the hand game..

Amongst the other semi-clean links associated with this link i found this gem: here

Yeah, I am allergic to cats, but at one time I cared for a pug-nosed persian i called Velcro. Got history, see.

I called it that becase of my inability to dislodge it from the floor, which was covered in berber carpet. "Ornry," I said. I said, "Ornry."

Turn up the speaks!

\watering eyes, throat consticting.

The vapor from Schroedinger's litter box is too powerful.

Whatever, I just go to the one with the clean bathroom.

2007 Jan 17 10:42 (#3171.9102):
Goodtastic. Maybe my phone, plan and service quality go back to continue re sucking again.

Somebody tell me that Verizon is better quality even though it costs a little more.

2007 Jan 12 10:49 (#3159.9077):
This reminds me of a recent finding on brown fat in baby pigs.

2007 Jan 12 10:01 (#3161.9075):
yeah, that was big news on KPCC today. Case ya don't know they 'cover the los angeles area like NPR covers the world'

That news was right around the time I heard from LA's ( and Austin's) beloved Mr. Ryssdal that AMD is 'po again. Can somebody go smack Hector Ruiz around a bit for me?

Iz Ben goin?

2006 Dec 03 04:09 (#3094.8882):
BTW 'smoothing' is also a great way to join objects in adobe illustrator. Just draw a box around the endpoints with that white arrow, got me?

so much smooth right now. I wish I had a white arrow for the world.

Biodiversity can be disturbing. I was staying in Los Tortugas' guest bunkhouse in Tamarindo, CR several years ago. At about midnight, as I lay staring at the ceiling, 'tranquilo', yellow larvae began diffusing from the base of the lamp attached to the ceiling. For forty-five minutes they undulated within a three foot perimeter, then just as quickly disappeared back into the lamp. Who knows what they would have done had I not been aware of their presence. Perhaps bore their way into my brain.

2006 Sep 16 12:44 (#2942.8547):
I do. But I prefer koala bears.

Wasn't that study also the one that showed white van drivers in Britain are more aggressive than other motorists? If so, doesn't that prove the study was tainted with an attempt to find aggressive drivers?

ka-ching!

2006 Aug 26 02:48 (#2895.8424):
just keep feeding that thing water.

2006 Aug 26 01:42 (#2895.8423):
CNLD should be tweaked out on this one...

2006 Aug 25 01:08 (#2886.8412):
Yeah, they do.

2006 Aug 25 01:02 (#2891.8411):
Does it strike anyone as offputting that the group webpage was farmed-out to academicwebpages.com?

2006 Aug 21 01:07 (#2882.8374):
...and ye good reader, know you cannot afford to live in Compton, CA let alone our new Angelean 'hood

Lower income tax?

2006 Jun 19 12:46 (#2777.8002):
right behind you peej (pun unintended then brashfully intended--then unintended again). I think that there was an episode of Penn&Teller's BullShit! that featured this guy.

2006 Jun 09 05:27 (#2764.7974):
oh, and treading water is a subconscious reference to the fictitious review in 'this is spinal tap' which described the band's choice of sexist cover art as 'treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality.'

2006 Jun 08 09:31 (#2764.7973):
i admit i liked cat's cradle. but I'm not one of those V-nuts who treads water on his public lecutures. But his books were just crazy enough to love. My other fave is breakfast of champions - so unlike anything.

thanks for the righting, ned.

2006 Apr 23 08:35 (#2655.7682):
Fair analysis, but the abstract on the NREL site states a near-future cost (with boosted production) of $1.00/Watt. That drops the return time to about 2 years. Though I agree the benefit is not overwhelming for us, with government sactioned Green Tax Credits for larger entities, the market for such a product increases. Add that to the Switzerland market where new homes are required by law to have a few panels, humanitarian efforts in Africa, India and China (complement of the eastern 1/10th) and you start to see why Aleo Solar has invested over 100 million.

Dear Beckto,

I don't know about you, but I just usually karate chop that shit up.

All the best,

Pat Morita

The picture was asdlf;j in front of RLM, not Welch?

2006 Apr 17 07:45 (#2636.7590):
mission accomplished!

2006 Mar 25 11:11 (#2562.7328):
I quote from quackwatch:

"Pseudoscience begins with a hypothesis—usually one which is appealing emotionally,
and spectacularly implausible—and then looks only for items which appear to support it."

nota bene Tajmar has two books on advanced space propulsion mechanisms.

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but I found an image of a Comedic Pianist

2006 Feb 19 12:12 (#2458.6908):
...Flip asked what was the audio mystery which causes the grammophone to make the sound of a record loud and I agreed, and compared the function to the sound equivalent of a Fresnel lens. Splat didn't agree. I revised the comparison to a waveguide, but the damage was done. My guess is he must be sore that the universe is non-deterministic.

At one point, there was some absurd, made-up anecdote about how AMD plans to make their processors faster by including Fresnel lenses.

I still don't know how a grammophone really works.

2006 Feb 19 03:07 (#2458.6906):
For the record, I never said anything about the top secret Jesus halo behind the prism rosarie the bends light so twisted that DJ Screw (from Houston) got a headache.

THE NEW YORK SHOW HAS CLOSED, BUT WE'RE COMING TO A TOWN NEAR YOU AS SOON AS WE CAN FIND IT.

2006 Jan 01 02:41 (#2310.6346):
good finds by natedogg. keep it up, natedogg.

I had to laugh at marijuanalogues

2005 Dec 28 08:21 (#2304.6332):
yo, javelina, I have to retract that statement about the uncrakability of the .rm files. Do a search for rawavrecorder.zip. Only catch is you have to record in real time.

2005 Dec 28 11:39 (#2304.6329):
you could use Sound Forge to filter out the needle noise. i don't know what is the best .ra to .mp3 conversion tool. I tried Imtoo but it appears these .ra files are copy protected...

2005 Dec 27 11:10 (#2288.6325):
The Data Retention Directive was just passed by the European Union on December 15th. According to the plan, the telecommunications companies in Europe will be required to record telecommunication -no warrant necessary- and the records will be available to a variety of levels of government in the member countries.

Mass human surveillance is a global phenomenon. Interesting is that at the top of the pile you find corporations not government.

The Galileo project in Europe (a private venture) will institute the largest taxing of auto transport ever. Puts the 'mailbox speeding ticket' of Cally to shame.

Welcome to the 21st century...in related news, Russel Crowe just assaulted himself.

2005 Dec 25 07:09 (#2299.6322):
Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University?

2005 Dec 24 08:24 (#2297.6316):
My guess is: he's having a Hydroponic Holiday at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

Coincidentally, I saw HEAD was recently stocked at I*heart*Video.
