Accident-explanatory slings
Show all
yesterday at 12:27 pm - kickstyle.info - Link
For all who are getting annoyed answering the same “How this happen” question, Andre Montejorge designed couple of funny and practical slings, aiming to save you the wording, but still illustrating the accident in a comic way. - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet
clever - Hao Chen
No liquor bottle? - Andrew Smith
true, a self-immolating accident from a drunken binge is missing - Cee Bee
That makes it easier when asked constantly "what happened' LOL - Summer
Where's the drunken bar brawl?? - Clay Newton
Or ninja attack? - Jemm
Or the "my relative pushed me down the stairs because they wanted to be the sole beneficiary of my father's will"? - Spidra Webster
do they have one for the ski-lift guy? - Jim Jannotti
They do, Jim, but it's a cup. - Spidra Webster
Please tell me that's not your experience, Spidra!!? - Josh Haley
No, Josh, I was trying to make a funny. - Spidra Webster
... with a heater? - Jim Jannotti
I need a "failed leap from a picnic table to a tree limb" one for my son right now. - Dave Roth
I like - Adriana
I broke my arm in elementary school when I tripped over a welcome mat while I was trying to moon walk. I wonder what that sling would look like. - E.M.
LOL. Those are so cool! I would say "I want!" but...um...I really don't - Mary DeSive
they should stock these in every school nurse's office across the land - Pete D
I'd hate to see underwear versions of this. - Mark Krynsky

This evolution should also show when controllers went wireless (xbox for me). This sent gamers from the floor/chair in front of the TV to on the couch with feet on the coffee table and was one of the happiest days of the last ten years for me (pathetic, but true). - Bryan Power

"A man faces a domestic battery charge after allegedly hitting his girlfriend with a sandwich as she was driving on Interstate 95 on Friday. Police said the 19-year-old man became angry and hit the woman in the arm and face with a sandwich, knocking her glasses off. The victim nearly lost control of the car because she couldn't see the road and the man then allegedly ripped off the rear-view mirror and used it to shatter the windshield. The man was freed on $7,500 bail. Police haven't said what type of sandwich was involved." - Ana via Bookmarklet
Must be a slow news day. I saw this in the "News from AP & Reuters" list that's supposed to be for breaking news. The next item on the list: "Driver Loses Control After Sneeze, End Up in River" (http://www.nytimes.com/aponlin...). For a minute, I really thought I was reading The Onion. - Ana
It's irresponsible for the NYTimes to publish this without a photo of the sandwich. Here's the boyfriend though: http://www.tcpalm.com/news/200... - Casey Muller
Poor sandwich. - Dan Hsiao
Was it at least a club sammich? - Mark VandenBerg
Or a knuckle sandwich? - Robert Haas

O M G. Looks at the bacon. LOOK!! - Mona N.
whoa! - Susan Beebe
That's so wrong - what I'm waiting for is bacon bit toppings or a fudge sauce that tastes like bacon! - Wayne Schulz
You Americans have some funny traditions --- "So I candied my bacon the old-fashioned way." :P - Dave Pook
Maybe you could use bacon drippings as the topping on the ice cream. With the salty melty-ness oozing deep into the ice cream...or maybe not - Morgan Haley
Barf! - Sarah Perez
Interesting. - LOLMolly
Mmmmmm:) - Patrik Johansson
i dunno...bacon ice cream? i'll try it but i ain't buying a quart to go without first getting a taste - Morgan Haley
Go away you haters. It's a big pile of candy coated WIN. - Mona N.
bleh! - Carmen
Hmm, on one hand, this sounds disgusting. But on the other...intriguing. I would try it. Indeed, I would try it in a heartbeat. - Jamelle
I love bacon. I love chocolate. I once tried chocolate with bacon in it, and I almost vomited. Like actually. I assume the same would go for bacon and ice cream... - Clay B.
That's candy covered candy - Bwana
just listened to you on FFUndercats Mona .. sounded like fun ,, I like your laugh - johnpiercy
The waiter at Oliveto didn't recommend this dessert when we inquired about it at the Whole Hog Dinner there last year. The meal we had there was on of the best I've ever had, definitely in the top 10 (and we had things like brains and ears), and I felt the waiter didn't steer us wrong. I love bacon, I love ice cream, but not together. - Sarah
It would probably be even better if it were maple swirl ice cream. While it's still soft, gently stir maple syrup into the ice cream then pop it back in the freezer to harden. - April Russo

The w00t heard 'round the world. 4 million search results for "yes we did", but not enough data to show up on Google trends yet. - seth
but this is only the beginning.. when i think obama's "yes we can" i don't just think about winning an election, i actually think about doing things. so maybe it should be "now we can" or more humbly "now we'll try" - omar
i think Ana gets to rest on her laurels for a day or two - j1m
Google trends only tracks things that are not searched before. You would have to go from no search to a crap load of searches to get on the trends list. yes We Did are also words that are usually ignored in the search world. - L0GiX

Sarah Palin Can't Name a Newspaper She Reads

September 30 at 5:06 pm - youtube.com - Link
"alaska isn't a foreign country" - peter
I love that Katie Couric cannot hide her look of contempt at 35s. - Erica Baker
I can't name a newspaper I read. - Amit Patel
Saying she reads the Internets might have helped. - Chris White
I can name 2 newspapers I read in Alaska. The Fairbanks Daily Newsminer and the Anchorage Daily News. That was 4 fricking years ago and I can still name them. - Erica Baker
A weekly paper in Alaska: http://www.petroleumnews.com - peter
There are no words...I mean like gee...she's all like...WTF - Rahsheen ™
(A) Honesty: "I read the Wasilia Moosehumper, but usually just have time for Family Circus and Dear Abbey". (B) Lying: "I read the Journal, Harper's, the Economist, and the Harvard Law Review". (C) Cluelessness: "Um. All of them." - Steve Weis
Maybe she didn't want to give free advertising to the papers???? Or maybe... just maybe.... she's out of touch with her state and the other 49 - Anthony K. Valley ©
Couric: "What about blogs, do you keep up with any blogs?" Palin: "Yes, I read any of the ones put in front of me. I read all of them Katie." - Jason Shellen
Why are you all so hard on her? She said she reads most, all, and any put in front of her. Oh, and a vast variety of sources. How can you argue with that?! I mean, personally, I've only read a "bunch," so she has me beat - I think. - Vince DeGeorge
I read a bunch too. Google News. Memeorandum. FriendFeed. Between the three all the world's newspapers come into my view. But at least I could tell you something about them. How can we get her to go away? Please make it stop. I really hope this helps the Republican Party purge themselves of all the Religious Right jerks who've destroyed that party in the past 20 years. - Robert Scoble
"I also read all the internets." - Chris Messina
I can't name a newspaper I read cause I don't read newspapers. I get all my news from the screen in front of me or a little bit from the TV. - mathew, keynote not lame
What's a newspaper? - FatOracle (Kamath)
I think the important thing to remember is we are not 'picking on her', we are trying to hold her to the high standard the office she is applying for demands... - Johnny Worthington
Why does it feel like, the worse Palin appears, the more likely she's actually going to get voted into office? Oh, I remember now. That's what happened in the 2004 election. - Victor Ganata
I tell you one thing, she has really made me appreciate Hillary... - Vince DeGeorge
She should NOT have said she "reads them all". WTF kinda answer is that. I'm trying not to be on the Palin hater bandwagon, but she just won't work with me... - Rahsheen ™
Wasn't it like this with Quale too? - Dave Saunders via twhirl
she reads "all of 'em. any of 'em." she's very entertaining! god bless her - Cee Bee
Alright, that's it - Palin has officially entered "un-parody-able" territory. Any joke about how uninformed she is only pales in comparison to the reality of how uninformed she is. SNL has got nothing on this Katie Couric footage. - Adam Kazwell
Gonna say it again... Principle from South Park - Johnny Worthington
good god help us. This is it. I'm utterly disgusted at the joke that McCain and his campaign have made out of our election process and our government as a whole with this woman (sure, there are people there I'm sure who don't like her, but this nonsense was allowed to happen). - Chieze Okoye
I saw this mentioned this weekend, but I agree. It's cruel to put her in this position. She clearly isn't knowledgeable enough to answer these questions. She also clearly freezes up when challenged. They had to have some clue these were traits of her's before putting her up there. - Andrew
more shit...this has got to go AWAY now dammit!! this is sooo stuoooopid! - Susan Beebe
this is a totally different stage than she's used to. they might not have known she would be like this under these conditions. <trying to give benefit of the doubt> - Jon Price
You know what I take away from this? That she reads and believes anything put in front of her. Let's hope the Taliban aren't sending her spoofed articles. *removes tongue from cheek* - Lindsey in Love
So you think she could name a newspaper and not get in trouble? Saying you read them all is a polite reply without picking favorites. - Dan Nimtz via twhirl
No, say "I'm not gonna give them free advertising", say anything that doesn't sound totally random and moronic - Rahsheen ™
Just say "Time" or "People" any thing at all.... Well; any thing except what you did say. - J. Abdul-Qahhar
she gave the same exact answer W gave, except he also tossed in 'the Google'. - Anika Malone
What's the shortest book in the world? The Sarah Palin book of Political Philosophy - Ivan Pope via twhirl
Not judging perspective, but Bush was proud not to listen to news and katrina happened under his nose. They had to basically put a You Tube style of clips in front of him so he could figure out what was happening. I am very concerned about someone who doesn't expose themselves to news that doesn't filter through their handlers. They should not be so easily controlled. - Eric @ CS Techcast
Dan: "get in trouble"??? with who? even if she said National Review Online, Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, she still would have covered her ass on the right-wing side. Hell, I'm not running for anything (yet) and read those all the time. I wouldn't even expect her to read them everyday, but at least be able to list something. - Anika Malone
I just brought myself to watch this clip. My God. Seriously? Seriously? Are they for reals? Seriously? How Katie didn't just stop the strolling and say point blank "Please, just name one newspaper you read.", I'll never know. Although, the look on her face was awesome. Your face said it out loud Katie. - Yolanda
I'm sick of giving her the benefit of the doubt. She's had how long to prepare and CAN'T NAME A SINGLE NEWSPAPER IN THE US?? Any other position where she's this clearly mismatched (scratch that, unqualified) for the role, ANY OTHER POSITION, and she would have been laughed out of the room. This is completely ridiculous. - Chieze Okoye
w. Sadly Tina Fey's excellent parody is straight up. She doesn't need to presenhy wouldst a caricature, just the real thing... she get into trouble for naming a newspaper. That's ridiculou - Tim Wolters via twhirl
"all of em" she read all of them. - MG Siegler
Palin is a near Dubya-grade imbecile :( - Tim
Ok, we all agree. Not smart. Perhaps the title should be: "Sarah Palin Can't Name a Newspaper She Doesn't Read." What would your alternate video title be? - Jason Shellen
"I think the Onion has some great insight" But seriously, say WSJ, NYT, Washington Times - heck you'd even get points for USA Today. - AJ Kohn
If she says 1 particular newspaper, then people will drill down on that paper and assume that is the only place she gets her information from... and if she says 1 newspaper, the moment she has an opinion about something all media will be able to link it to one newspaper and its potential biases. She answered the question strategically here. I don't mind the answer. - Mike
She is totally in touch with the "microcosm of America" -- who actually reads newspapers or magazine anymore anyway? Reading is for lefty wimps. - Pete D
c'mon, she pretty much said she only reads what is put in front of her (at this point by Republican party handlers), which to me is actually worse than not saying "all of 'em" or "getting in trouble" for name dropping the wrong ones. basically it says she reads only what someone tells her too. I could never support someone that has this little curiosity about the world. - Jon Price
This reminds me of a sign here in Austin, http://www.flickr.com/photos/r... :) - Tim
I think a bird that makes on a newspaper could name it. - Steve Rubel
I think it's amazing that people are actually trying to explain this away. Seriously, you guys? - Chieze Okoye
Wow, people still use newspapers to keep in touch with what's going on in the world? - Michael Pick via twhirl
WOW! Did she name names after this clip? Or was this the end of the question ? - Sumit Chachra
C'mon, people, she reads all of them! Any of them! - Dror Shimshowitz

""So at the convention last week, we send the former mayor of New York City to go out on prime time and ridicule Obama for being 'cosmopolitan.' We make Rudy Giuliani, Mr. Manhattan, the spokesman for small-town values. According to Democrat logic, he should be laughed off the stage. But the response goes off the charts. "Why? Across America, people are fed up with so-called logical 'laws' that they never agreed to and that insult their values. They're ready to fight back against cosmopolitan logic. We've tapped into that!

Excerpt: "I hope the Android folks aren't hoping that a slick UI and great user experience will sell itself, because phones ain't the web. The cognitive and financial switching costs for mobile phones are greater than for almost any other device you can buy. Helio and Sidekick are two great examples of how slick mobile products can fail to gain traction because they rely on carriers and customers to generate demand. Take a page from the Book of Jobs and tell the story to the people. Tell them why they want it. Show it to them. Educate them so well that they can proselytize another person to buy a product that neither of them has ever seen in the flesh." - Kevin Fox
Kevin, how did you get that FeedFlare? Looks great. - Louis Gray
I second that Louis. - The Amber
Apple is great at marketing, but I think Helio failed because the devices suck, Danger was on a good ramp but fizzled because they failed to keep up or to open the platform, the Blackberry succeeded because people liked what the devices did, and the iPhone is a big success because it's an awesome product. Jobsian marketing is an accelerator -- it means they can sell millions of iPhones now, instead of in two years once everyone figures out how awesome they are -- but it's not the key enabler of uptake. - ⓞnor
Also, I have switched phones probably five times in the last decade, but I have switched search engines basically never in the last decade. So I disagree that cell phones are way stickier than web sites. - ⓞnor
They may not be stickier, but they're a lot easier to try out. I would argue that you've stayed with the same search engine because it's maintained a lead in quality/experience, rather than habit. - Kevin Fox
ⓞnor, would you agree that Apple's marketing generates a certain media narrative, and that narrative has lead to a (very large) amount of free ads? It seems like Kevin is arguing that that same thing happens by word of mouth. - j1m
So what was that narrative, anyway? - ⓞnor

Ouch, ouch, ouch. via lars: "Whenever a large software company acquires a startup, the first order of business is often an attempt to move the startup's application onto the larger company's technology infrastructure so that it can get benefits of "economies of scale" or some other buzzword that is typically a euphemism for "we bought you so now you're our bitches" that is not grounded in business realities." - Greg via Mento
