x2! x12! Alright, that was a typo, but I left it. How about the boomerang? Personal favorite: thermos -- it keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold -- how do it know?

Seconded. Headamp is your best choice, if you know nothing about DIY and don't want to have to worry about quality control. I'm pretty sure there isn't any commercial alternative, although you could always commission someone to build it, but then you have to worry about quality control, hence the earlier statement. And: forever is a long time, I'll settle for a couple seconds.

I don't think you understand cryotreatment, it doesn't stay cold. I think it's more along the lines of electrons prefer freeze-dried molecules.

He bought Cats.

Her bokeh are out of fokeh.

What?!?!? I forgot which side the tank was on, and I didn't feel like starting the car up again just to move it closer...

I'm not sure it qualifies as "simple", though. Maybe simple to use, but certainly not simple internals...

Damn! Thanks for the heads-up on this, I need to hurry up and get around to getting myself a pair of these...

When I watched Dollhouse last night on hulu, they used a 10? 15? second clip of that to advertise the Honda Civic with the tagline, "fun and functional". Of course, I immediately went looking for the video and didn't find it. So...thanks!

Mmm...marble.

How Blair Witch Project would have gone if a cat were involved:

Original(-ish) image Actually, I really like the pair of them.

For you (I liked him, too):

I mean, "You know what you doing!" I crack me up.

I believe her bokeh are spokeh for.

The piano -- just stuff a harp in a box, then add remote controlled hammers: Harpo Marx destroys a piano

First of all -- cool idea, hadn't heard that one before, I might have to try it. Secondly -- is that really enough? Probably for most gear, but for gear that isn't, one might consider embedding a coin between two pieces of cut up mouse pad. Or maybe a coin on the side which receives the pointy part of the brass foot, and mousepadding on the floor or shelf side.

From the FAQ: EDIT: Damnit, Al beat me!

Dang, that is cute...and starting at only $299!

Ain't that the truth! And: from memory, I got a subconscious association of low fidelity with "fuzz" that I don't necessarily with "musicality" -- are they perfectly synonymous? PS I appreciate the answers -- I believe this is the first frank, honest, and open discussion I've ever read about the true meaning of fuzz. I think I even posted about it over there, but I'm not finding it right now...actually, come to think about it, it might've been over here...

Unfortunately, I only got the monitor, not the girl...besides, she too skinny.

Really? I never got that...

Really? It had the opposite (of enjoyable) effect on me -- it struck me as jittery and annoying. Still...interesting. Just not cats and weird Japanese shit interesting.

Yes, it really is. If you're going to eschew tubes, then this is the best you can do.
