Umbrellas? Well it is obvious why they do it. Opening an umbrella indoors is a well known source of bad luck. There is also the Penguin factor to take into account. He could take over a plane with umbrella sleeping gas.
If airport security were really concerned about our safety they would be required to do The Safety Dance before each flight.
And I'll handle the bras. To make sure they aren't tampered with before inspection it'll be crucial that I remove them directly from the passengers. I think I'll have my hands full with this job.
I think that was the problem with his Opus strip. A previous comment mentioned how much more he liked the old Bloom County strips. The difference was that Berkley stripped out most of the other characters except for Steve and Bill the Cat (who doesn't talk). That left Opus alone in most of the situations with no other supporting characters. In the Bloom Country strips there was a series of regular characters who all had the focus on them at some point. That created a much more complex cartoon "universe" whereas Opus alone had no one to play off of and sounded like a single note enventually. I don't know why Berkley dropped most of the other characters, there really was no good reason for it.
The same thing happened to the cast of Seinfeld, they were much better playing off each other. Once the show ended and they tried to make shows with themselves as the focus they seemed like they were adrift and bland.
I'd like to see Blizzard build some sort of utility into the game that allows people to form groups for instance runs and set them for specific times, basically a calendar function. I know there are add-ons that do similar things but I'd like to see it built into the game more like the "looking for groups" utility except this would allow you to logoff and come back for the scheduled run. The minmum number of players, levels, classes, etc could be custom set. Not all players have access to guilds big enough to support regular runs or even raids.
What has been the most disastrous or disheartening experience in your time as game...?
Can I answer this as a player? I'd say it is realizing that you have run the same instance 30 times or kill the same boring mobs 1000 times to get all the way up a reputation ladder. THAT is disheatening.
The price of a full grown steer is far higher than that.
I look forward to hacker cattle rustlers or even worse, armies of hijacked cows terrorizing the west. I hope the Dept of Homeland In^H^HSecurity is looking into the likely scenario of a terrorist taking over our cattle!
The claim is that the device is duplicating the chemical reactions that slowly take place during aging. It speeds them up by what is basically a form of agitation. Now obviously this would only affect those qualities which arise from aging, not from the initial conditions of the wine.
If it does work then that cry is the sound of wines who's main quality is their age losing value.
Well duh. I was talking about the in-game auction house market not any real life market. Do you get mad at people at baseball games who say "We need a home run!"? "Need" as part of game play.
I'd support glider if it meant automated farmers were pushing more high need items like primals onto the market and pushing down their price and increasing availability in the process.
But then you find out that all the toilets have locks on them charging $10, or even worse, they are slot machines too. "Come on cherries! I need to pee!"
With gambling you just lose some money but if the whole market collapses you'll have bigger problems to worry about than your 401K, like food, shelter, hordes of tunnel dwellers coming out at night, etc.
Let me put this in terms some Slashdotters might understand.
Now for me, a 6 pack of Newcastle isn't cheap but it isn't expensive either. A bottle of Belgian lambic is expensive for me however. For, say, Bill Gates, that same bottle is cheap. For me a 6 pack of Carling Black Label or Narragansett Beer would be cheap.
Now for the guy I sometimes see near Back Bay in Boston who yells out "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" at me when it is August I'd say that same Newcastle 6 pack would be expensive but a bottle of Colt 45 or King Cobra would be affordable. It might even be cheap if he ended the day with a full coin cup and a free sandwich.
Are you kidding? This thing would be milked for every yen they can get. There'll be a food court floor, the stratosphere floor, ionosphere floor, the "Sunset Above the Troposphere" floor, the gift shop floor ("I rode the space elevator" T-shirts), the "Watch the aurora close up" floor...
Then there'll be sponsors. Just wait for "The Hello Kitty Space Elevator" sponsored by Sanrio.

So do the folks at the patent office even look at thier computer screens or are they all mac/linux users? I sorta doubt that.

They offered the butt end of the animal to the gods? No wonder mankind seems to be cursed.
Or make the cows smarter? No, nix that. They'd start to fight back as soon as they saw a hamburger.
Replace "cattle" with "tour group" and it also makes more sense.
I look forward to idea of cattle out roaming the pastures while having smooth jazz broadcast to them.

I see a classroom somewhere. They are getting a visitor. It is full of very dissapointed children.
Kids LOVE powerpoint.
Damn, beat me to that comment.
I just pray they don't try "water sports" either.
Sorry, but until they find some of his remains the nutcases can still claim he faked his death and is living with D.B. Cooper.

These rocks date almost to the formation of the earth and still no signs of The Flintstones or Bedrock. Sorry

Why should I trust your recommendation?

Now I know why aliens wear wool.
You think that is bad, just wait until some wieseguy gets on and hits the buttons for every floor.
