"Their appearance looks like junkyard throw-up." In one simple sentence, Roger Ebert just summed up what has troubled me about both of the Bayformers movies...
*foams at mouth at the Bay created mockery*
- Mo Kargas
I think the Bay Transformers designs have formed a convincing refutation of the animation rule of thumb that 'if the silhouette is readable, then it works'.

The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things: Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax. Of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings.
Methinks thou doest promote too much. :) All the world's a feed, and all the men and women merely posters: they have their likes and their hidences; and one man in his time makes many comments.

42 Packets Of SparklerS? Let's do this... For America!
johnny is making a roman candle, should i call the fire department now?
- Rachael Worthington
I'm so jealous!! I want sparklers over here in Denmark, but I don't think they have them except during 'official' fireworks-approved days, i.e., right around New Year's Eve. :(
- Bette Cooper
Why are they illegal? Are you allowed fireworks?
- Mellissa Doyle
Melissa, nope, not allowed to have fireworks. Usually have to go out of state, and they are illegal to bring into the state. Only "government authorized" companies/people are allowed to manufacture and set them off here in NY state
- Mike VanLare (slayerboy)
Rochelle, depends. In most states (including Queensland) you can't purchase any and they can only be used by licensed professionals under strict conditions and permits.
- Johnny Worthington
Was this done recently? If so I need to move to Brisbane, t-shirt and shorts in Winter!
- Chris Lawrence
Chris, last night. It was chilly but I tend to be ok in the cold
- Johnny Worthington
Sadly, the cops are passing out tickets for fireworks because of the burn ban. So we're just watching other people break the law this year.
- Jason Huebel
It's kinda' like Santa. Many helpers also called Santa, but only one has the real beard. Wait. I just confused myself. Johnny is Santa?!?!

The thing of it is, it's just CSS styling. Implementing themes is mostly a matter of just allowing a user to choose his stylesheet.

And I heard that Helvetica doesn't even use the Helvetica font.

Yeah, I'd like to be able to choose my own color schemes so I can make my ff experience a series of obnoxious colors...like my gmail
- Jonathan Hardesty
There is a baseball game here and the local orchestra is doing a concert and then a HUGE fireworks display tonight, so I can hear fireworks, plus the odd firecrackers going off.
- Molly
Burned many a shirt in drunken Roman Candle fights

All firecrackers and sparklers are illegal here

Nothing beats a roman candle in the bum!

Great show. Thanks for the mention today, guys. And, Joey and Josh - I just listened to last week's episode. Wow, I was humbled by the extensive shout out / explanation of the translator. Muchas gracias!

Palin's running. We all know it. Careful not to apply the 'old way' of politics to the 'maverick'. Think about it. For the next 3 years, she is free and open for comment without local issues getting in the way. She is the worst type of opponent, the one without distracting issues and can stay on complete laser point focus.
"The [lack of] regulations on donors" is probably the key
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Running away. Now that she quit the Gov position it will be brought up that would she quit any other position when its not going her way. No this is one nail in the coffin that is her political career. She can't finish her one high power job then why should we consider her for any other?
- CW™
Running away? Come 2012, is her ship really going to be sunk cause she quit the Governorship of Alaska?
- Johnny Worthington
The resignation could be taken as a sign of instability or unreliability.
- John
Like not serving your time in the National Guard? Yeah, that one worked out peachy
- Johnny Worthington
Depending on what comes out afterwards, this can be spun to state that She is weak.
- CW™
But spun to who though? Last time I checked, America is a single being that beleives spin.
- Johnny Worthington
National Guard in the 60's and governor in the media age are two different things. Her life has been publicized and recorded since her stint as VP. She will have to wait for 2016 or 2020 to even considered.
- CW™
This is much more public. Also, governors just don't resign unless forced out by scandal.
- Robert Haas
Single term blacks senators also don't run and win elections at their first shot.
- Johnny Worthington
My point is, it's all changed. You can't apply 'well this happens' anymore
- Johnny Worthington
this senator was/is exceptional, imo.
- Dead Silence
Obama has changed the game thats for sure. Also the way he is dealing with being President in his media relations and grassroots functions has changed politics again. It will be interesting to see how short of memory the US Citizens have.
- CW™
She could take the next few years, lay low and reinvent herself and possibly run. But it will be a major different and granted the US Citizens memory is extremely short (like 4 months short) there may be some that will remember her again. I know Spitzer the former NY gov that left due to hooker scandal is trying to get back into Politics. Only thing he can do though now is tv comentary.
- CW™
Well, she is still the only female who has run for Vice President of The United States...
- Johnny Worthington
There has, been a Democratic nominee (Geraldine Ferraro) whose Mondale ticket lost the 1984 election by a wide margin to Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush. I don't expect anyone to really remember this much less anyone outside the US. [edited to correct Mondale]
- CW™
It was a big non-event. Reagan was so damn popular, that it seemed more of a last ditch attempt to wittle anything from him with running the first female vp.
- CW™
Joel, So was I. What I remember from the time was more being angry with Reagan's inauguration that interrupted my Smurfs. All my other facts is from the last two years election research that I happen to remember.
- CW™
Also, Mondale was the 1984 Democratic candidate, I think.
- Andrew C
Andrew your right. It was Mondale and not Dukakis..
- CW™
The difference is that single term black senator's success was an example of some masterfully calculated campaigning which used technology and targeted-marketing well. This stinks of heading off a potential scandal, not a calculated campaign move.

a good vanilla ice cream can be a rapturous experience.
- Dead Silence
French vanilla or regular vanilla?
- Martha
via iPhone
Vanilla Ice Cream is very close to mothers milk explaining my love for vanilla.
- Russellreno
In appearance, maybe Russellreno, but not in taste. The latter tastes mostly like flavoured lard with a dash of glutemate, the ice cream more like nectar of the gods.
- Slippy 2.0
S 2.0. I only know what I read many years ago.
- Russellreno
I only know what my taste buds told me in the months after my kid was born ;-)
- Slippy 2.0
incidentally, Russel, most of the results of that search are instructions and reviews on how to MAKE vanilla ice cream with breast milk, or comments on combining the two.

I had one. It didnt work at NES but it rocked at pretend.

funny how the power glove is not that much different from the wii remote yet the glove never really caught on
- Holden Caulfield
controllers which attach to the hand/arm sound like a cool idea, and can often look cool, but in my experience they generally just feel wrong and aren't as comfortable to use as one you can hold in your hands..

an almighter eh mate? I'm watching Sea Patrol on Hulu. how's that for irony?

Just an idea. While I personally like the new hastags, I do note that some people find it distracting mid sentence................. wait for it......... #ImNotAllScriptyAndJunk but is there a way when I enter the text "#hashtag", the # is removed and just the text is converted to the link to the search.
Johnny, complete agree with this. We enter the hashtag (in speech marks to get a search string with spaces) and then have the hashtag after being posted.
- Kol Tregaskes
*Looks for the law that says that I must personally use the new #hashtag feature, even if I don't like them*... oh... you mean we have a choice?
I can count on my right hand (the one with six fingers) how many times I've used hashtags on Twitter. I don't see that changing much here unless some shenanigans take place.
