My favs are "Jesus Christ in a handbasket" (holy shit); Holy Mary Mother of God (oh my God!); freakin' (fuck, fucking, etc.); and then go with bloody or foreign language terms, like scheisse (shit in German, said 'shy-suh'). Caveat - not Catholic and will probably go to hell anyway. - Cassandra

"Disney has just debut a second full-length trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland tonight that will also be attached to most prints of Avatar this weekend (in 3D as well). Everyone went crazy over the first trailer, but you ain't seen nothing yet, as this one blows that old trailer right out of the water! Alice on Wonderland stars Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, Stephen Fry, Christopher Lee, Michael Sheen, and Alan Rickman." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

the Mad Hatter looks like he's in Split Enz. actually, they all do. - Joe Silence is not dead

To counteract this, I'm going to go buy a 42" HDTV tonight. Hopefully I will be able to get a new car within the next 6 months since the repo and my shitty credit were the only things keeping me from it. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

financing a new car is the biggest scam going. the interest isn't tax deductible and you're upside down on it pretty much from day 1 if you fully finance it. - Bill Kinney

Aw your girl is beautiful. I really like that last photo. - Admiral Anika

Thank you Anika. That's the one we used on our Christmas card this year. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

that crap shouldnt even have been called 3d - Richard Lawler

...note to people at the stadium: if you're actually in the building, watching the game live, as it takes place on the field, you are watching in 3D ... duh! .LOLz! - .LAG liked that

I like the 2nd one, but as you mentioned on Twitter, the orange would stand out more. I just don't like the orange though. - Admiral Anika

Dear Slow Cooker, I don’t know why it took me so long to understand how wonderful you are.  You have helped me save money, time, and lose weight.  This project I’m on is tiring, and I now don’t have any excuses to head to a restaurant 5 days a week because I am too tired [...] - Shevonne

"Accordingly, millions of taxpayer dollars are wasted on good ideas that fail for stupid reasons, and stupid ideas that fail for good reasons, and hardly anyone is taken to task. The intrusion of politics into government pushes the city to enter long-term labor contracts it obviously can't afford, and no one is held accountable. A belief that good intentions matter more than results leads to inordinate amounts of government responsibility being shunted to nonprofits whose only documented achievement is to lobby the city for money. Meanwhile, piles of reports on how to remedy these problems go unread. There's no outrage, and nobody is disciplined, so things don't get fixed. San Francisco is the city that simply will not hold itself accountable." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

I was just saying to a friend on the ferry last night that it won't be the Next Big Earthquake that destroys San Francisco, since it's pretty much self-destructing. It's horrifying and sad to watch. - vicster

"The top-of-the-line slow cooker from All-Clad features a heat-responsive cast-aluminum insert that functions as a piece of premium cookware in itself. Start out by using the nonstick insert to brown ingredients on your stovetop – a technique that gives slow-cooked recipes greater richness and complexity. Returning the insert to the cooker, with both its residual heat and tasty caramelized bits retained, ensures maximum efficiency and impressive depth of flavor. Then set the timer and let the machine do the rest." - Michelle Martinez from Bookmarklet

NICE! I love the timer part of mine. Not sure if they all come with those that have 30 min increments and low, med, high. I never really looked at them before. - Paulette Garcia Morris

Would you want your mother, future mate or employer to see it? - Brian Sullivan

If you don't post it I'm filing for a divorce. Unless I'm the drunken friend in which case you should send it to me directly. - Sparky

A fantastic run that changed the X-Men for the rest the decade - RAPatton from iPhone

"A decade of pesky germs, from SARS to avian flu to H1N1, has given rise to dozens of products bragging about their microbe-killing properties. Everything from hand-sanitizing liquids to products like computer keyboards, shopping carts and tissues tout that they kill 99.9%, or 99.99%, of common bacteria and fungi. But some of these numbers look like the test scores in a class with a very generous grading curve. They often don't include all pesky germs, and are based on laboratory tests that don't represent the imperfections of real-world use. Human subjects, or countertops, in labs are cleaned first, then covered on the surface with a target bug. That is a far cry from a typical kitchen or a pair of grimy hands." - Joe Bonner from Bookmarklet

Not to mention that the .1 or .01% that do survive are going to be mostly resistant to the chemicals used and so using these products actually will do more harm than good over time. The only hand sanitizers worth a damn are those that use alcohol to kill germs. - Alex Scoble

""It's often said that the most dangerous place to be in Washington or New York is between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera.

→ #Environmental articles are the focus today, I spoke earlier of a series of #articles I wrote in November and being invited to give a speech once the agency accepted my articles. Each came with high requirements and yielded a high payout. I was just #emailed by another environmental protection group and asked to sign a contact to write 10 articles!! - H0llywoodWh0re

→ As a #journalist I am finding that #environmental articles are highly accepted but must be detailed in length and provide extensive #data. I just signed the contact which has very loose stipulations on the subjects of these ten articles but went into high detail regarding sourcing and word ranges (depending on type 1500 to 2200 -/+ 250). This should be fun because I have freedom of topical choice but want to make sure I respect them as they are doubling my fee per article. - H0llywoodWh0re

I hate the outlook recall feature, which never works, it's mocking me like "see how awesome it would be if you could immediately unsend mistakes?!?!" Fuck Outlook. - Lo

"Apple just approved a new app that allows iPhones other than the 3GS to record video. That’s right, both your iPhone 3G and even the older 2G model can now shoot video, without jailbreak." - Örgüt Çaylı from iPhone

Capturing more than 3 fps is possible; they just didn't try complex methods. People downloaded and loved it because no one really works on projects like this so users do not know the capabilities. - Cahit Crcioglu

"A Georgia couple who showed up at the White House a day early for a tour somehow wound up at an invitation-only breakfast with President Barack Obama and the first lady. It wasn't a state dinner, but it left the White House once again explaining how people who were not on an event guest list wound up being ushered into the presidential mansion anyway. This time, White House officials say they were simply being hospitable." - Derek Coward from Bookmarklet

"High levels of a hormone that controls appetite appear to be linked to a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, US research suggests." - Derek Coward from Bookmarklet

"The 12-year-study of 200 volunteers found those with the lowest levels of leptin were more likely to develop the disease than those with the highest. The JAMA study builds on work that links low leptin levels to the brain plaques found in Alzheimer's patients. The hope is leptin could eventually be used as both a marker and a treatment. The hormone leptin is produced by fat cells and... more... - RAPatton from iPhone

"New studies of the plumbing that feeds the Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park shows the plume and the magma chamber under the volcano are larger than first thought and contradicts claims that only shallow hot rock exists. University of Utah research professor of geophysics Robert Smith led four separate studies that verify a plume of hot and molten rock at least 410 miles deep that rises at an angle from the northwest." - Jason Huebel from Bookmarklet

"Former Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean argued Wednesday that the health care overhaul bill taking shape in the Senate further empowers private insurers at the expense of consumer choice. "You will be forced to buy insurance. If you don't, you'll pay a fine," said Dean, a physician. "It's an insurance company bailout." Interviewed on ABC's "Good Morning America," he said the bill has some good provisions, "but there has to be a line beyond which you think the bill is bad for the country."" - Derek Coward from Bookmarklet

Agreed: Two active looks like SPAM and I unhook as quick as I can. Accurate observation there - ThatDBD

Related: I had this problem with a year ago with Flickr also - if I commented on any active photos, I will get so much noise on my Recent Activity feed that it becomes impossible to manage. Great that Flickr finally implemented the 'hide this from my feed' feature. Would be great if Friendfeed can follow suit. Alternatively, do the reverse and allow 'sub to this thread' - either way it would be a good feature to implement. - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

At one point I put stickers on the keys, so I would know where the notes were. I could play Christmas songs on it and everything. I would love to have one of these now. - aden

my family had a similar device made by Bontempi - it also had a hose and mouthpiece so you could play it "keyboard style". It was a cool instrument, but you had to have some serious lung capacity to blow a chord on the damn thing :-) - Slappy Line

"Leaders are considering a hike of roughly $300 billion to the nation's $12.1 trillion deficit, though the final figure has not been nailed down, congressional aides said on condition of anonymity. Democratic leaders had previously hoped to raise the limit by at least $1.8 trillion, enough to take care of the government's debt needs through the November 2010 congressional elections. What was your first hint the former $1.8 trillion increase attempt was a bad idea? Perhaps this?" - Morton Fox from Bookmarklet

I wonder if A.T.&T. is aware of this...? With wifi or the ability to use the Skype app on 3G now, a person could change/ reduce their call plan cost...? - Ron Thompson

You have to go to the site, pick a number for caller i.d. and wait up to 24 hours for the number to be turned on... I did and the number now shows up. I used my cell number and if I call(Skype) from my PC or use the app on my phone, my cell number shows on the caller I.D. of the person I call. - Ron Thompson
