    They slowly spin themselves apart until the data is nonsense.

    Friend, that's Windows. It came pre-installed.

    And getting the phone to ring back: 555 or 666 or 999 + the last four digits in the payphones number, hook-flash and listen for the "funny" dial-tone, hang up and walk off. The old ones would ring until answered. We found this to be great fun as kids.

  3. Re:I don't know on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 2

    Popeye...would go ashore, get drunk, pick up hookers, swear constantly, and fight anyone who crossed his path.

    Tennis ball, soaked in gasoline, lit on fire--midnight street hockey.

    Try this: Cut a hole into a tennis ball, fill with match-heads. Once it's full, bounce it as hard as you can, against something hard. Lofting as high as possible onto asphalt a good bit away from yourself is effective, and pretty safe.

  9. Re:Victim #2, yerrup! on HOWTO: Annoy a Spammer · · Score: 3, Funny

    A spammer's lawyer: is there a lower form of life?

    Someone "discovered" the Backstreet Boyz, N'Sync, The New Kids on the Block and Bobby Brown. I'd think that qualifies.

    And then for a split of a second, you think about taking a dump, and you get a commercial with a woman cleaning her bum with Charmin toilet paper...

    Or a movie starring Cartman's mom.

    Is that a nickname, Staring Will Smith? Or is someone staring at him?

    Any kid doing that nowadays would be laughed off the street.

    Well, any kid who laughs at you for putting playing cards on your bike isn't your friend.

  22. Venting rage? on Organizing Sim Protests · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    That's not what we call it. Anyway, here's one way to vent your "rage" after eating McDonald's food:
    • One-Cheek Sneak - Lean slightly to one side, raising one buttock marginally. Allow sphincter to relax enough allow "rage" to escape as quietly as possible. Prime purpose is venting of "rage" as surreptitiously as possible.
  23. Re:How long? on Segway HT Starts Selling · · Score: 2

    At least you won't hear any annoying exhaust systems that sound like a beehive in blender with these, due to the electric drivetrain.

    How long before you see 'em with playing cards clothespinned to the deck, to make "motorcycle noises" when hit by the mag spokes?

    Judging by that, the Domino record is probably easier to attain. You know you have a long, hard road to education when you can't even spell the name of your own nation.

  25. Re:Too bad about the expensive laser on 87GB On DVD-Sized Media · · Score: 5, Funny

    "...equal to 87,000 paperback books."

    You also have to wonder what is being left out of the transcription of, say "War and Peace", to make it use the same amount of disk-space as "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing".
