Nu-uh, their cinnamon bun ice cream is at the very top of the list. - Michelle Jones

Mint Chocolate Cookie is before Chubby Hubby. Assuming you're talking about descending awesomeness, of course. - Justin Hileman

Very much with you on this, Dave. It's hilarious to watch and I think people from anywhere on the ideological spectrum can agree this time that "W" had impressive reflexes. (Must be a hell of a dodge ball player.) But you are correct, he still is representative of our country until Jan. 20. I don't think that nuance was lost on the shoe-thrower, however. He probably was throwing his shoes both at Bush -- and us. - Rex Hammock

"in memoriam" - Karim

he actually had more of a life than i imagined from other descriptions of him being only able to remember the last 20 seconds. he could rake leaves and do dishes and stuff. though it must have been weird to be halfway through a cup and wonder whose dishes are these and how did i get here. - Karim

The 70-year-old Chinese man who hand-carved over 6,000 stairs up a mountain for his 80-year-old wife has passed away in the cave which has been the couple’s home for the last 50 years. Over 50 years ago, Liu Guojiang a 19 year-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu Chaoqin. - Mahdi Ebrahimi from Bookmarklet

Mathew: this story is old but lovely <3 - Mahdi Ebrahimi

"The writing style which is most natural for you is bound to echo the speech you heard when a child. English was Conrad's third language, and much that seems piquant in his use of English was no doubt colored by his first language, which was Polish. And lucky indeed is the writer who has grown up in Ireland, for the English spoken there is so amusing and musical. I myself grew up in Indianapolis, where common speech sounds like a band saw cutting galvanized tin, and employs a vocabulary as unornamental as a monkey wrench." - Dave Winer from Bookmarklet

Exposure to different styles helps the fledging writer learn their own way - Michael W. May from twhirl

Did he bring his crack vile with the fake anthrax in it that he showed to the U.N. in that infamous speech? - Rolf Schewe

In other shocking news, the sun came up this morning. - Akiva Moskovitz

"When owner Paul Ives arrived home from work, the burglar, John Pearce, who was armed with a hammer, tried to claim that he had spotted someone else trying to raid the house and had selflessly attempted to catch the scoundrel, getting stuck in the process. Unsurprisingly, Mr Ives didn't believe his story and declined to set him free." - Iain Baker from Bookmarklet

LOL! That's sad and stupid. HA! - Anna Lynn M.

I felt bad for Wariner and Richards. The 400m is an unforgiving race, much more than the 800m and up. Once that rigor mortis sets in on the last 100m... not much you can do about it. The 4x400m has always been one of my favorite races to watch, as well -- lots of guts in that event. - Kirk Kittell

You know. It was hard enough to believe in January when Shawn asked — yes, asked — to try some sweet potato fries that I’d whipped up. Sweet potatoes. One of the many, many vegetables that he turns his nose up to. It was even more of a surprise when he liked those sweet potato fries. Yes, and the moral of that story is that if you treat a picky man like a two-year-old and don’t offer him any, he’ll want to try whatever it is. I jest. I jest. That’s really not the moral. - Mahdi Ebrahimi from Bookmarklet

Sweet Potato fries are awesome. i can't live without them :) - Lindsey is Fierce!

sweet potato is on e of my favorite snack - Mahdi Ebrahimi

This is a great article that basically says 'screw what your body font is. Use the prettiest ampersand possible throughout your site' and goes through how to make a css style for your ampersands that will use the best ampersand your user has installed. Geeky and wonderful. - Kevin Fox from Bookmarklet

Caslon 540 italic is the best http://bryanthatcher.com/2008... - Bryan Thatcher from twhirl

Wow. - Brad Nickel

She kind of freaked at first, but she handled it well. Tough reporter! - cjmart

Unsurprisingly they have left out the Lego concentration camp: http://users.erols.com/kennric... - MegvMeg

Amazing. some of those photos are just unbelievable. where some == nearly all. - felix

Those are pretty amazing - it is weird to notice that almost all of the performers are male. - Jennifer Dittrich

I get it! - Bwana ☠

Yup, sounds (looks?) about right. - ::Kristen::

Yes, please. - Ayşe E.

"Rather than just release another scary story in book form only, publisher Scribner -- a unit of Simon & Schuster -- and CBS are trying a new approach : Convert an unpublished novel "N." into a series of 25 video episodes distributed by CBS on the Web and mobile devices. " - tech.newsjunk.com

Stephen King has been on the cutting edge of electronic publishing before. Which was the e-book he distributed for free and just suggested that if the reader liked it, to send him a dollar? _From a Buick 8_, I think. He's an old fart, but a rather openminded old fart. I like him. - Kirk Kittell

This was my theme song for four months before I moved to KY from LA , but in a good way. - Kyle Hebert

A hero is part human and part supernatural; a hero is born out of childhood trauma, or out of a disaster and must be avenged. We all have a hero in our heart. - Dwight K. Shrute. - RAPatton

Be the Man! - Russellreno

no rocky?no right stuff? - RAPatton

That's a solid list, no complaints at all (The only one I would add -- as a personal favorite, not much of an omission -- would be Scent of a Woman. I love the Pacino rant at the end.) - Kirk Kittell

"The cinematic world was today celebrating the rediscovery of missing scenes from German director Fritz Lang's legendary silent film Metropolis - thought lost for 80 years, until they were found in the archive of a museum in Argentina. Key scenes cut from the science fiction picture - either because they were considered to be too brutal or too long - will now be available for the first time since May 1927, when the original version was last shown in Berlin, where it flopped badly." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

Oops. Somehow I missed this and posted it on my own. Deleted and liking instead. Also, I'm probably guilty of being the only person to like the goofy shortened and colorized version with all of the Georgio Moroder music from the 80s. - Akiva Moskovitz

Absolutely insane - but I like it! - Martin Bryant

Really cool find! I am going to make some to carry around with me to see how the results look. Sometimes I wish I were that creative. - Matt Donders
