Jan 8 q commented on What are You Doing with that Sledgehammer, Bimzie?.

Compare that to the master at work, Fred Dibnah. Calmly leaning on a fence when the chimney goes down (near the end of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L1WOnR2K… )

Nov 9, 2012 q commented on Afghan Donkeys Replace American Helicopters.

At the start of the invasion of Afghanistan, there was a cavalry charge. By British and American troops. Probably with bayonets.

We have fewer horses and bayonets, but we still have some because they can still be useful (though in the above cases the horses were Afghan).

That intersection is a stop light. Either the car or the bike must have run the light. There's no "ignoring bikes" here, just someone breaking the law.

I liked reading this. Thank you, Mr Frizzelle.

Jul 15, 2011 q commented on Civilization Destroys Facebook, Not Vice Versa.

There's some good and some bad about this game. The good is that it only allows you to spend about $1-$2/day, so it's not going to break the bank. The bad is that it's still in beta and there are a ton of frustrating bugs at the moment. I'm going to check back in on it in a month. Maybe it'll be better then.

@10: I'd chip in $50 for that plan. Though the cost overruns would be about 100% on it - you have to cone off both ends!

I-5 isn't quitelike Salford. It doesn't have that same utterly life-ending depressing gray feeling.

It always surprised me that it takes Americans 4 years to achieve what Europeans achieve in 3.

Feb 24, 2011 q commented on Man, I Love Pete Holmes..

Wait... ...the effect of hiring Tom Carr as your city attorney is that the number of people committing violations increases? That means all the people of Boulder have to do to cut down crime is fire Tom Carr.
