"pretty lame "myths", they all sounded absurd. How about the myth that erecting suicide barriers on bridges will prevent suicide? Invest in prevention not enforcement." - Thomas Paine

"Damn you app store approval process!" - Thomas Paine

"Hands down the best coffee shop in Santa Barbara. Between the delicious coffee, friendly service and reasonable prices there is simply no comparison. To top it off they have metal utensils for those…" - Thomas Paine

"Hands down the best baby store in Santa Barbara. The friendly staff and reasonable prices put Chicken Little to shame." - Thomas Paine

"Fantastic food. Hands down the best place we ate on our 2 week visit." - Thomas Paine

"It's impossible in fact. Horses can't throw up. If they get something in their stomach that they need to throw up they get colic and die." - Thomas Paine

My dream home office. - Thomas Paine

My cousin is participating in an ice carving contest in Alaska. Pretty freaking cool. - Thomas Paine

"From Wikipedia: "The remote location of the islands makes transport to the outside world difficult. There is no airport, so the islands can only be reached by boat. Fishing boats from South Africa regularly service the islands. The RMS Saint Helena formerly connected the islands to South Africa, and the United Kingdom via Saint Helena and Ascension Island, but she no longer calls at Tristan da Cunha."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ..." - Thomas Paine

"I have only been to see her once but Veronika is great! I've been trying to find a good hair stylist since I moved down from the Bay Area and so far so good. The affordable price is just icing on the…" - Thomas Paine

"Buried because MSN "articles" are just thinly veiled advertisements. Those aren't "reasons", they are sales pitches you would hear from a car dealer." - Thomas Paine

"The title was supposed to be /0 which is what (almost) everyone in the photo is doing" - Thomas Paine

"I tried to think of something about this place that I didn't like and I couldn't. They have a wonderful variety of sandwich options including goat cheese and some wonderful bread options. The service…" - Thomas Paine

"It may no longer be a large chain with a racist sign, but the food sure does taste like it still is. Add to that it's tourist location guarantees a long line on the weekend and it's truly a pointless…" - Thomas Paine

"1 star for price 3 stars for food Way way way overpriced for what it is. They don't even have a full kitchen, just a hot plate and an egg poacher ... but they still charge $10-15 for their dishes.…" - Thomas Paine

"Not the best burger in town, but not the worst either. The island burger (pineapple & teriyaki sauce) is my favorite." - Thomas Paine

"I live in a tourist town and I find it quite ironic when locals complain about them. It's tourist money that keeps the city clean and beautiful and keeps businesses thriving. Ok, they can't drive and generally aren't very pleasing to the eyes, but I can overlook those faults for the fat wallets they carry around." - Thomas Paine

"Perhaps you meant that Santa Cruz is cold year round? Ok, to be fair they have a nice indian summer, but otherwise the boardwalk is over rated and the beach is cold. Half Moon bay in the bay area is much better and Santa Barbara is truly beautiful year round (well, June has lots of fog, but otherwise). I can't believe Santa Cruz was rated above the many other great beach locations in California" - Thomas Paine

"It really gives you a sense of how delicate and mechanically advanced these devices are. Especially the telephoto lenses." - Thomas Paine

"I highly recommend splitting a meal with someone because you get an insane amount of delicious food. It's quite an experience to patronize Chef Karim's as you will see shortly after you sit down at a…" - Thomas Paine

"Dairy Free Frozen "Yogurt" ... 8 calories? Oh dear, I smell an addiction. Having been lactose intolerant for the 10 years I have to settle for lots of sub-par soy products, overly sweet sorbet's and…" - Thomas Paine

"And you would be correct ... here it is: To SF from fork : 71.6 Miles http://tinyurl.com/4qpodg To Sacramento from fork: 78.6 http://tinyurl.com/4twgrw Of course these distances are to the city center, not to the city limit, but you get the idea." - Thomas Paine

"Overpriced, bland, packed, craptastic service. What's not to like? This place screams tourist trap but plenty of locals seem to like it. Not sure what it is about Santa Barbarian's liking overpriced…" - Thomas Paine

"Be prepared to wait. Unless it's raining you can wait anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. But they give you these little buzzers so you can cruise around the harbor worry free that you won't lose…" - Thomas Paine

"Except for a few staple items (eg: Mediterranean plate, turkey burger) I recommend ignoring the regular menu and just stick to the chef's specials. These can be a little bland sometimes, but for the…" - Thomas Paine

"I think you mean peer review. Reviewing piers might help tourist and shipping industries, but no the internet" - Thomas Paine
