Give 'em time, we'll be seeing suicide booths in the next 100 years.

That's easy, got a "Mission Accomplished" banner lying around?

Why not go after the oil industry (and Bush by proxy)? I'm pretty sure their economists are just as good (or in this case, bad) as any others.

Realestate bubble about to burst? Check.

Businesses laying off people in the tens of thousands? Check.

Irresponsible failed oil baron wannabe in charge who writes blank checks for his buddies? Check.

I know, lets raise diesel and gas prices to around $5! That'll work!

One of my favorite conspiracy theories (my own, your own may vary) is that the reason they've been building all those megastructures in Dubai, is because like Michael Jackson and Halliburton, all the other ethical criminals are going to cash out and move there.

I'm sorry to say they're probably proving me right. And I'm tired of being right most of the time.

Be happy you don't taste like prawns/shrimp then!

Next time it'll be a squid Sean Penn, and he'll kick your deep sea paparazzi ass, then you'll be sorry!

It's IE7, and javascript works on every other site I regularly visit, it's only borked on /.

Or Sgt. Folgers' crystals?

The Trek nerd in me wants to make jokes about Captain Kirk's Dilithium Crystals, but I'm exercising extreme restraint in this case. You're welcome.

Two Astronauts, One Cup?

(I tried tagging it with that using Firefox, it still didn't show up)

I'd have done it, but the javascript is borked as far as IE is concerned, and gives me a "undefined" is null or not an object error. That happens despite clearing the cache, resetting IE to default, etc.

Yeah yeah, "use another browser" is all very well and good, but what if I *want* to use it? It's my risk, my choice, my right, and IMO, IE is closer to adhering to web standards than most browsers. It's kind of draconian to try forcing users to switch to other browsers by borking your own website, just as the old days of "This website is best viewed on Netscape" disclaimers of the 90s.

Anyway, this is off topic, and mainly a gripe about being locked out of the tag process, I don't know if that problem applies to anyone else. I'll understand if I get modded down.

You think that's weird? I also like to drive store staff insane by activating all their audio toys at the same time, sometimes with up to 10 singing reindeer going all at once.

It's my little bit of revenge for their putting up Xmas sales before Halloween even comes around nowadays. Because when I think Halloween, I think "Zombie Baby Jesus", with a little Jason Voorhees in the nativity scene.

Yeah, where's the cassette slot on the thing? I always liked to slap a tape of death metal music in Teddy Ruxpins and watch 'em spaz around.

Yeah, imagine that head shouting "Exterminate!", and it just loses it's edge. And at least now the Daleks can hover around, what can the head do? Get involved in a messy football match is all it can do.

But I jest, I for one welcome our new talking head overlords (same as the old ones).

Did you say something? I was busy making out with my Marylin Monroebot.

And yes, I did take precautions against electro-gonhorrea (the noisy killer).
