Highlights from the Playmobil Security Checkpoint customer reviews at Amazon
…the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger’s shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger’s scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said “that’s the worst security ever!”
Thank you Playmobil for allowing me to teach my 5-year old the importance of recognizing what a failing bureaucracy in a ever growing fascist state looks like…Just the other day he asked me why we had to forfeit so much of our liberties and personal freedoms and I had to answer “well, it’s because the terrorists have already won”
…since the playmobil Dad could not remove his shoes or other clothing items, unlike the Barbie, the playmobil security agent became suspicious and after waving her wand wildy a few dozen times, called her supervisor to wisk the Dad into a special body-cavity search room, (which incidentally led to quite an embarasing and interesting discussion with my twin daughters about personal hygiene and a slight adjustment to the rules we had them memorize about touching by strangers).
I am holding out for the release of the Guantanemo Playset. Hopefully this will come with an extrordinary rendition option.

This sucks, but in many ways it’s a good thing. I know that sounds counterintuitive. Layoffs allow companies to operate more efficiently, trim unnecessary fat and move forward in a better way… as long as the layoffs are handled well.
The newly unemployed will retool and find new work. There will be some pain and suffering for a short period of time, but we’ll all be better off in the long run.
LOTS of entertainment layoffs today too, www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com has a number of articles about it all. Today is not a good day.
Sukima Windows Plus: 48ピクセル足りない！I’m more concerned about how 162 pixel mario can ingest a 176 pixel mushroom at all! And all in one bite no less!
It looks to be mostly made up of hat to me, and in some ways that makes absolute sense. As Mario grows so suddenly from the influx of mushroom, he would absolutely - and should the Nintendo seal of approval still be desired, very quickly I might add - require new haberdashery.
This is awkward.
Actually laughing out loud. Well played :)
That’s not sushi, it’s imported USB flashdrives from JapanI!

Hey LA Folk!
We are having our Holiday party this upcoming Friday at Backstage Karaoke in Culver City. Everyone is welcome.
Words can’t describe how depressed I am that I will be in Vegas and missing this party. I was so looking forward to a beautiful and moving duet to Meatloaf’s “Anything for Love” with my Nick Claus.
The amount of “there” that I will be cannot be expressed verbally. Or textually.
So I guess GPOYW is now going to be MPOYHTPW?

I do love things like this, even when they make my brain hurt. I don’t know as much about quantum or string theories as I’d like, but I do enjoy reading as much about them as I can.Chainsaw Bayonet (via pfcthiel)
I am TOTALLY getting one of these for the zombie apocalypse.
