Comment booking reservations and flights.. (Score 2) 26

Been hearing that one for decades. Who the f*ck actually needs that? Who would trade their favorite browser for such a lame feature? Wasn't he promising AGI and a utopian world of joy and leisure just a year ago? And now we get reservations? No amount of tap dancing is going to make that a hit with the common folk.

Comment Metal-Tipped Darts (Score 2) 46

I hate to highjack such an interesting thread, but now we have to talk about the incredibly unsafe crap our parents let us do in the 70's and 80's. My contribution is this: Remember those big lawn darts with a metal tip from the 70's? They weighed almost a pound and would kill a Corgi if you threw it just right. You'd try to throw one to land in a hoop laying on the ground 30 feet away - much like horseshoes. You'd win a point if you got one in the circle, but to me and my teenage beer-drinking friends, you'd get two points if you caught your opponent's dart mid-air as you stood by the target hoop. What blinding fun! And then in 1988, they were banned due to the rising toll on Corgis and children's eyeballs.
