*snort*...#20 i was an arch conservative growing up till i...grew up...and realized there are in fact other people in my world...

there's something you really hope you grow out of quickly

if it were aimed at 6 year olds i could see it, but the box says 10+...when i was around 9 i inherited my neighbor's old chem set that dated back to the 50s...had pretty much everything you would expect in a vintage chemistry set and i spent years fiddling with it...the idea that you could derive similar fascination from this toy seems far fetched

"i have already have had"

meh...as a buddhist i can't say i care particularly if you use the term "easter" for something that has always been called that...not like i gotta pray to the thing

blah blah blah...just puts the lie to the notion that being gay is now an accepted thing...way too many unibrows around to ever make that actually happen

and yeah, playing dress up is normal, but no the ad isn't about that

i remember in the 70s my friends and i were soooo resentful about the govmt intrusion into the way cars were built...they imposed all these dopey environmental controls and cars became crap for 2 decades...of course in retrospect it was the best thing that ever happened to automobiles...like, damn you can actually see blue sky during the summers now versus the yellow haze that stretched from maine to florida...i'll take a few years of junk while manufacturers get their act together if it means the planet is more likely to support life for a while longer...

i don't buy it.

in comparison to the giant arrays of mirrors they use to create steam out in the desert, this thing is puny

i always thought it was floccinaucinihilipilification. things like chemical names shouldn't count imo

hmmm...fast, unpredictable bird with sharp beak and exposed eyeball...what could go wrong?

i act as an internet liaison for my Amish neighbors and can attest to their interest in using it for practical purposes like buying or selling or looking up directions...

i have to agree tho that a normal bicycle seems like it should be an ok thing...they use scooters and occasionally i've seen inline skates but around here anyway they aren't often used

they play hockey on sunday afternoons when they also have various organized games like volleyball among the young unmarrieds

gee raquel judgemental much?

~before the invention of the atomic bomb, life spans of humans were drastically shorter...cause and effect?

~doctors scrub to remove what is normally benevolent surface bacteria...that can be deadly in a deep wound but are fine and dandy on normal skin

~food service people use plastic gloves for a reason

what could possibly go wrong?

i think the proper instruction is "take a deep breath and hold it" which seems to have gotten lost somewhere along the line...holding it would reverse the hyperventilation process
