That implant was not what I had envisioned. What a waste of an otherwise perfectly useful set of silicone fake brass knuckles!
Posted by: Julie at February 17, 2006 11:46 AMOnce again, got to everything but the video stuff. That'll have to keep til later. The dome looks really fun and interesting, but I can't think where I would keep it or what I would use it for. I suppose I'll have to live vicariously through others on that one.
I saw a superhero/terrorist combat comic not too long ago. I think it was done by Marvel and was centered on the World Trade Center. I skimmed it when I was killing some time in Barnes and Noble.
You'll be happy to note that SiteAdvisor gives you a green checkmark. It lists you as having a few users and not being a spammer.
So, what is the deal with the silicone brass knuckles. When I read your description, I was thinking it as someone who had brass plates implanted in their hands or something. You know, kind of weaponizing themselves. But that was just creepy and gross.

Posted by: Patti M. at February 17, 2006 2:16 PMI like the Watching America link. There's an interesting story on Cheney's hunting accident which basically makes him sound like a trigger-happy drunk, as in, he'd had a few (Dr. Pepper = beer), heard his hunting buddy getting a quail behind him, whipped around and shot him. It implies that if ducks aren't thrown in front of his gun, he can only shoot lawyers. That man is sub-human.
Posted by: Maggie at February 17, 2006 2:40 PMOh, my goodness, I just went to the brass knuckle link. Ugh! I guess I just don't understand why. But also, the ads that came up around it were all pretty pornographic, just FYI. Like, I wouldn't have wanted to the girls to read some of that stuff over my shoulder, and I didn't see it at first because I was trying to figure out, as J says, WTF????
Posted by: Maggie at February 17, 2006 6:15 PMIt's funny - I didn't even see the ads. I think I mentally block out text ads now, automatically.
Posted by: James at February 17, 2006 9:36 PMI didn't see the ads either. Between the netnanny at work and my own liberal use of Firefox's "block ads from this site," I seldom see the bad ones any more.
Posted by: Julie at February 18, 2006 3:22 PMIt would be so cool if I could block ads. But if I block ads, then the COIN system at UMD doesn't work and I can't access my roster. Yeah, just more UMASS CITS fun.
Posted by: Maggie at February 19, 2006 5:02 PMi love COIN! the best feature is that never actually works...absolutely jenius!!
