Another excellent song and a fun video. I wish the song had gotten more air play. It's hard for DD to get air play as it is, they don't really fit into any radio station's line up. I don't think most people really understood the song, and the president/terrorist bit scared the rest of them. It's great they got a lot of their old street statue friends to be in the video too. It's an odd but unique talent, though not exactly useful. - xero

Hah. I was forcing my car-pool buddy to listen to DD this morning. (I finally got around to buying No, Virginia before I left for work). - James Williams (willia4)

They're definitely an acquired taste. Heard Coin-Operated Boy on the radio and was amused, friend sent me Girl Anachronism, but it was the videos on their site that finally pulled me in a few years ago. - xero

Go to Target or Walmart and you can buy it right now ;) - Eric Rice

I'm not loving Plurk: the search is inadequate at best. - Stupid Emoo (aka Tina)

FUBAR! Do not like it? Not happy? Take a walk! No one is here to please and entertain you! - Igor The Troll

But if you consider your followers as part of your entourage you maybe forced to feed them! I guess depends on your style! - Igor The Troll

Only us geeks would care about these things. While watching it I was like 'That's Marti Noxon!' - Araceli

I also read Lissa Warren's entire post, but didn't want to share it because I felt that implied I agreed with it - I don't, and this article comes very close to why. I think that the people who share Lissa's opinion are looking for something that might better be called "Literary Criticism" than "book reviews," a much more humble term - and I think the more humble term (and review) is what most people are looking for. It's only the elite and elitist who look for that (I say boring) level of refined criticism in a book review. - Teel McClanahan III

"Uploaded 14 days ago on Flickr, forwarded last night by Oregonian critic Shawn Levy. "This is an actual photo -- not Photoshopped -- of a second-run Portland movie theater, the Cinemagic, changing its marquee over from Hancock to TDK. As the fellow who sent it to me said, 'Sometimes it's better to work right to left.'"" - Jason Toney via Bookmarklet

Just for Cecily: I like this because it made me laugh. Instant fave. - Monique(AwesomelySaucy)

This one, I think, will be one of the ones that sticks, that haunts. Its words effect me, which I like, even though I'm not sure I like the effect they evoke; I like being effected. - Teel McClanahan III

OH C'MON! It's a turtle without its shell! - Michael Forian

Sadly, that's totally a dog that had its front legs tied and left for dead in the ocean. Look closely. It's snout is just a bit deformed at this point in the decaying process. - Brian Ries

This will come in handy when I'm up in Strawberry, CA this weekend.. which is overrun with Mountain Lions at this time of year. :) Thanks polly. - Brandon

Do passport cards work the same way as traditional passports? No. Cheaper passport cards can only be used for land and sea travel between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. For any air travel outside of the U.S., you need a traditional passport. - Teel McClanahan III

Is it easier to get a passport card than a traditional passport? Alas, no. The application process for the cards is the same as it is for traditional passports. With both, if you're eligible to mail in the application, you'll save the potential hassle of waiting in line at the post office or courthouse. Royster says that the cards will eventually have the same turnaround time as traditional passports (currently, about four weeks). But don't expect a four-week turnaround this summer: The State Department began accepting applications, first come, first served, for the cards in February and received more than 350,000 requests. It has mailed out 7,600 cards and expects to have the rest of the preorders sent out by the end of September. If you applied for a passport card today, the earliest you could expect to receive one is after the initial 350,000 orders are filled. - Teel McClanahan III

it seems they are all one story told through different movies. - Stefan Hayden

Interesting theory. - Hao Chen

Yeah, I'm not a fan either. I'm not letting karma control what and when I should post. No more one dimensional conversations and superficial posts. - Hao Chen

I feel like that's the POINT of the karma system: if you're generally on Plurk most days, your karma moves/stays generally high, and if you don't make much use of Plurk, if you regularly go day after day without use, karma goes down. I can tell at a glance whether you use Plurk well or not by looking at your Karma. - Teel McClanahan III

Also: I took a two-week vacation, only plurked on two of those days (we had internet those days), and my karma barely budged. There's a hit for not using, but it takes a LONG time - it's looking for patterns, not punishing for not following imagined rules. - Teel McClanahan III

I did have an afterthought. If you want to provide limited edition goodies for Karma points, fine. Let's move beyond 'karma is stupid anyway' and play along. Karma for goodies, yes; Karma for basic acct maintenance, absolutely not. You are missing a revenue opportunity and setting up a community to be fake, esp since it's a metric to game. That opens it up for spammers, too. - Eric Rice

I don't know, but using plurk actively makes it easy to have meaningful communication with people there and build relationships - which I've been more successful at turning into sales than on other social networks so far. Don't care about karma if the basic use of the tool actually works for me. - Teel McClanahan III

Right, Teel, what happens tho is that the presence of it will foster an environment around you that might affect you whether or not you pay attention to it or not. I actually don't care about Karma either (I mean I think it's dumb in general), but it doesn't affect me negatively until now. When it gets in my way. Other than that, I'm ok chillin in an enviro that has the potential to have accelerated superficiality is all. - Eric Rice

Sorry I lost my thread over at my thread. I'm going to ask the question again here: Q: Do you agree or disagree that the North American youth (including Canadians!) aren't taking their minds, their future or their lives as seriously as youth in other nations (who understand globalisation)? Do we see any evidence of this in our classrooms? On the internet or in our communities and families? - Mel "de Silentio" McB

That was one of many. I don't really remember. Let's see... Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Jason Wehmhoener

"an original book label design specifically designed for structuring big academic libraries. a book's cover loses it's importance in a vast library collection, squashed between "this" book & "that" book, resulting in a mismatch of textures, typefaces & colors. as a result, it is the spine that one generally look's for & more specifically, its call number label. with so much pressure on the call number label, the tiny, inconsistent sticker to be slapped on inconsistently seems designed carelessly. instead, the wrap around label system system uses the 1st letter of the call number to classify every book into 1 of 21 general subject matters, resulting in an information book shelf grid. colors are assigned to the subjects as a rainbow gradient, while all additional information is listed on the back" - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet

Agreed. - Hao Chen

Thank you Mr. Tarrantino for introducing me to this song. Also, what's up with her stage exit? - Kyle Hebert

she was afraid she couldn't get into a standing position without exposing herself, is my guess - Nathan Rein

You mean female pop stars didn't do that back then? - Kyle Hebert

I'd love to see that in person, it's fantastic! - sergiooo
