Three guys arrested for vandalizing 7 Toyotas at the Chicago Auto Show. They said they were protesting American jobs being sent overseas. And while it's true Toyota closed one plant in California & shipped those jobs overseas, to Canada, Toyota still has nearly 30,000 workers in assembly plants around the US, and three of the seven cars vandalized were built right here. Plus GM, Ford and Chrysler moved most frame building to Canada years ago, they use Korean steel, Japanese electronics, and have much of their assembly done in Mexico.

Disgusting!

Not very smart to record that..

Bunch of classy comments on the Youtube page.

I ran across a menu item yesterday that described a deep fried Italian beef sandwich - I had to, right? I'm completely ashamed of myself.

But what was your verdict? I'd have done the exact same thing.

It sort of looked like a huge empanada, you know? Big as a sneaker. I cut it in half and the first half was a'ight. Sort of dry and I dig the Italian dipped so that was a bit disappointing. The second half...I don't know why I ate the other half. I'm completely ashamed of myself.

If I were to serve that in a restaurant it'd come with a big old bowl of dipping sauce and some gardiner peppers. But yeah, sounds rough. Here's to a speedy recovery.

You have nothing to be ashamed of. Most explorers end up exploting the natives and then taking credit for bringing "civilization" to the masses. You were on a vision quest. Be at peace.

Laughed hard at this one.

this "article" is so bad

It's like something Leonard would have written before he died.

rip jc!

pic would probably be better served by someone with some real photoshop skills.

Naw, you did good.

Never before have I seen a video benefit so much from employing the crappy recording of a recording technique.

Actual page from weather.com for my work for this Thursday:



Note location, note date, note precipitation. It must be a computer glitch.

The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy race? Y'all heard of this? 140 mph? On motorcycles? On streets like you & I drive our Hondas? Through people's front yards & feet from cliff's edges?

231 racers killed since the race first started around 100 years ago and counting. These guys are fucking lunatics: http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/news/story?id=6484391

Bleach, which Cemetery? I might be in Chicago in June.

3 posts (now 4) and I'm one of the top 20 posters for the day?!

how the mighty message board has fallen

Damn Turks

I don’t like the term “the cloud” to describe anything internet related. Sounds like cutesy marketing nitwits trying to blow smoke up my arse. You can’t take something most people are already familiar with, and use every day, and suddenly start calling it something else. Imagine if they tried this with cars or cell phones? People would laugh at it and reject it - just as we should with this. This term needs to die.

Planes fly into clouds and then crash into the sides of mountains. Or spin out of control and plunge into the sea. Just ask John F. Kennedy Jr. how cool clouds are.

Unidentified deep-sea sounds.

Creepy! Many of these were loud enough to be recorded on the entire Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array (an area ~3,000 miles wide). My favorite is "Julia," although Cracked prefers the "Bloop."

Yeah, they're trying to blow smoke up yer arse, and just imagine how like Kipper Snacks your Bung would feel if you actually had to deal with the technologies involved.

I took a walk through my town yesterday afternoon and there were so many plantings of Jasmine & flowering Onions, giving off such an overwhelming smell, that it was like slapping a wet blanket over my nose & mouth.

A wet blanket that stank of Jasmine & Onions.

I imagine there's a few old school SOMBies that know that scent intimately...perhaps with a hint of bicycle chain oil.

just learned that i'm still not too old for hard drugs. yay? not sure that celebrations are in order, but kinda proud regardless.

also, the ford & lopatin album is pretty rad. that probably belongs on the music discussion side. whatever, i'm breaking all the rules tonight.

Can someone explain this shirt to me?

I know this meme started months ago but I never cared to keep up with it.

^that is funny.

Everyone should check out Google today. The logo is a tribute to Les Paul. You can play, record, etc. Love it!

had me cracking up.

LOL

i think the long and short of this meme is that charlie sheen is really cool.

That David Cross thing is fantastic. Tempted to cancel the meeting I have in 2 mins so I can get to Part 2.

I've been thinking on this one for a while: Silk Road, the underground, anonymous marketplace allows you to buy pretty much any drug you want, the only limits being "anything who’s purpose is to harm or defraud, such as stolen credit cards, assassinations, and weapons of mass destruction." Pot, LSD, Ecstasy, Heroin, whatever, is easily available, bought with untraceable monies, and delivered to your door.

They're a bunch of extreme Libertarians, the kind of people who give Ron Paul the willies:


These guys are hardcore into self backed electronic currency, anonymized networking, a reputation-based social economy and have a URL that you'll never remember or type in accidentally.

What I'm thinking on is is this good, or is this bad? I know that this will never destroy the State, and that the Prison-Industrial Complex will never let this stand; there'll be FBI moles using federal money to make buys & sales, and using supercomputer time to crack the TOR onion router jumps to pinpoint the location of sellers & buyers before making mass arrests. And I'm sure that Russian Mobsters are going to try to game it to suck other people's money out of it, move cash around the globe as bittorrent currencies, and launder it for pennies on the dollar (guestimating 3-5% as opposed to 12-15% currently paid by many groups). But this is eBay for Pot, an Amazon.com for Ecstasy, with internal controls to drive down sellers who step on their stash and a 5 star rating system to reward sellers who have good product, who are fast & accurate in shipping their orders, and who package it so your mailman doesn't figure out what you're getting.

If expanded to an obvious conclusion, this could drive dealers off the streets and remove one of the main reason for gang turf wars, moving them into a commodity space where price, quality, speed of order processing and delivery options trump Avon having his Corners and the artificial price hiking shortages created by the intrinsic monopoly enforced by that system.

Yikes. The unfortunate thing is that I can't think of a scenario wherein LTCG fans will ever hear this.
