^ In that case, I've got quite an art collection myself.

It's hard enough to make science into art without a damn pragmatist in the building!

The PopMarket people are evil. Sitting on a park bench, watching little wallets with bad intent... http://www.popmarket.com/details/26770473

Me too, and I'm not even in the market for a vacuum cleaner... yet I'm thinking, "Hmmm... $500 to $1,000 seems reasonable... I mean, if it solves my vacuum cleaning problems for many years to come, and allows me to provide meaningful input to others who find themselves in need of vacuum cleaning advice in the future..."

I chuckled because of the manner of expression. Rephrase the punchline in any number of ways, and I just groan, but the "I sure would like another..." line was quite well constructed because it parallels what people say about babies. Therefore, funny.

It's just an email joke that I thought would be fun to share here; nothing to get your panties all caught up in a bunch about. Won't ever happen if you're limp, so don't worry about it.

Women always say that giving birth is way more painful for them, than a guy getting kicked in the nuts. Here is proof that they are wrong. A year or two after giving birth, some women will say "it would be nice to have another baby". No matter how long after, you'll never hear a guy say "I sure would like another kick in the nuts". Case closed.

The world wasn't gay enough back then.

Thanks for the briefing on the history of Posterboy, Matt. He is Legend.

You're not fat.

Tannoy > L3000. Agreed. That toaster sure was a sweet amp though. Glad you liked it as much as I did.

This just in on Facebook: Willow Smith had a bad day for some reason and said so on Twitter. WTF has become of this world?!?! Oh well, at least now I know who Willow Smith is... the 11 year-old daughter of Will Smith and what's her name. Come to think of it, no big surprise that her name is WIllow. Yes, Will Smith's ego is that big.

Bush's fault. Can't you read?

RIP, Mr. Marshall, maker of good amps. For a minute there I thought we had lost one of the Purple People Eaters! I was a big Minnesota Vikings fan growing up, and Jim Marshall was one of their famed 4 defensive linemen, along with Alan Page, Carl Eller and Gary Larson (not The Far Side guy).

I've been thinking about picking up another pair of headphones of late, I guess because I don't have enough of them, or else I'm really bored. Was debating between the L1 and the best of whatever Bob Marley is selling these days. Of course, not having heard either and not having any real need for either, I wisely decided to put this non-decision off for a while. Well, now I'm pretty much settled on the L1 being the right ticket to punch. Or at least the Marley offerings didn't impress me much at all when I wandered upon them at Miami International the other day. Even their top of the line model (the $299 silver one, which was quite well built), left me flat. Just a pretty lustless listening experience to my ears. Shame. Would have loved to support Bob. He seems to need the money these days.

The hammer forum shtick was brilliant. Especially liked the comment from Banger: "Why don't you rent one for a few days...?" You could build a shed in that amount of time..." Euronailer bitching about the price and VAT was pretty funny too.

Happy birthday, Mike. Is the toaster still alive and well, or have you parted company with it by now?

Kansas won again, and will be playing for the national championship of college basketball on Monday night. They'll be a big underdog against Kentucky, but then again, they've got nothing to lose...

Happy birthday, Doug!
