]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Sidekick 2008/Gekko Coming July 30th]]> The type of people who buy sidekicks are the type of people who have two phones- one for talking and one for talking AND texting. Usually I see these people, completely lacking in self-awareness, rattling off texts non-stop through a college lecture class, never bothering to ever look up from what they're doing.

The Sidekick is big, so other people can see that you are texting your "bffffs". AND that you have a social life. Because, God forbid, people might think that you don't have friends if you aren't in constant contact with them. And we can't have that, can we? So, screw the rest of the world; you're going to have a 90-minute text conversation about the fake Coach bag you just bought and the random hook-up you fell in love with who never wants to talk to you again because he realizes you have the clap.

I hate you, T-Mobile.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Senate High-Fives Phone Companies for Spying on Americans]]> Obama voted yes!!!! Where is your God now? Mwhahaha.

I issue a challenge to anyone that is seriously afraid of this bill: have the most terrorist-y bomb-filled conversations over the phone and let me know how things go. If nothing happens, I guess you didn't have anything to worry about (but of course your little heart can bleed for those millions of people somewhere who were erased by the government). If something does happen, well, then we won't hear from you because you'll be whisked off to some secret CIA prison and disappear for 30 years until you've been waterboarded enough to make you crazy.

By all means, Viva La Revolucion(TM)!

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Introducing The Loneliest Boy In The World]]> Wow, "No Homo" and Catholic Priests jokes. You guys have retroactively jumped the shark. Will leaves and the bottom drops out.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Curly-Winged UAV Will Leech From Power Lines, Fly Forever]]> I only have two things to say: "Rednecks" and "Target Practice."

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on On With The Big Show, Again]]> Not even the great Dan Patrick can pull me away from the toilet during my Olberrtime Shit-Breaks.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley: Where Wife-Punching Pitchers Go To Die]]> He better not lay a finger on Anna Benson, though many men have. He can go to Scarlet's in South Allentown for that.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Truck Antlers Provide Outlet For Censored Truck Nutz Owners]]> I'm buying that for my Neon and driving it through Philly. They'll be at just the right height to gore unsuspecting pedestrians.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Respect Thy NBA Champion, The Boston Celtics]]> @Charlie Kerfelds Jetsons Tee: No, they're saying "mooooooooooooove...off the stage."

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Who Is Eric Stromer?]]> @BreakMyWindow: I'd say don't let em bother you, but you're former army. You know how to handle things better than most men could. Apparently Obama is off-limits for jokes. If you don't gush over him, you must be a racist redneck bigot.

Pure and simple, Stromer is put on to appeal to eco-minded people. The big problem is that while eco-friendly vehicles such as Hybrids and electrics are seen as a good thing in the green crowd, cars are generally frowned upon (Jalops being the exception). Too many shows today try to be everything to everyone, but end up being nothing to...everyone (no one just didn't fit). I'll try to reserve judgment until I see the series, but I'm sure I will still prefer the original.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on She Wears Glasses, So She Must Be Smart]]> Not sure if anyone caught this, but the Cards put Aaron Miles in for relief in the 9th. He went 1-2-3 in a game where the Phillies got 20 runs. Anomaly?

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on The iPhone 3G FAQ]]> I'm somewhat interested in getting an AT&T Smartphone that can run ScummVM, has WiFi, and 3G(optional). Is the iPhone really the best option?

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Commenter Of The Day: WIlford Brimley Edition]]> I've pronounced it diaBEETus my whole life. So has my dad, who's had it for most of his life. I always considered diabetEES the plural form of diaBEETus. Not that you can have multiple cases of it.

Btw, McCain update on the 100 miles on one charge: spoke today in Jersey, bumped it up to 300. He must have been reading Jalopnik after he went on Ellen. Wouldn't shock me.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on To Watch Tonight]]> Congratulations to Scranton for finally getting on the national scene. Oh wait...

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on ESPN Confusingly Rids Itself Of Mark Madden's Vileness]]> Maybe he can start a political blog now, because wishing death upon people in them are nothing new (see:dailykos). And could Shapiro sound like more of a baby? Oooh, somebody hurt my ideological feelings. Wahhhh!

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Earth Set to Receive Alien Reply, Invasion in 2015?]]> Ironic that the time of this discovery coincides with the Vatican's pronouncement that Aliens may exist. Hmm...

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Crazy Contraptions From The Biodomotica Secret Underwater Lab]]> I am totally making a banana phone out of this one. Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, bananaphone.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Len Shapiro Tilts At "Uninformed" "Cowards"]]> Just let it go. It will play itself out. Bloggers just look like big babies when they put MSM's bullshit on display. Don't give them the time of day, but take the criticism to heart and find what areas you can improve in. I.E.: if a journalist says "these guys are unconscientious internet trolls" about you, a good response would NOT be "the MSM are a bunch of geriatric stuck-up pricks." Show them up with some old-fashioned class, instead.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Did LucasArts Just Bolt From The ESA, Too?]]> Hey, maybe Vivendi (bought up Sierra) and LucasArts can go back to making niche adventure games and not have to churn out commercially-friendly crap. Playable crap, but crap nonetheless.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on 2010 Chevy Cobalt]]> Well at least they didn't try and make an extra large Aveo. I'm not really big into things that are wearing kitchen appliance white, except for maybe Danica Patrick.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Media Approval Ratings: John Kruk]]> My sister had a crush on him when she was 5 years old (I guess she was into guys with mullets, I think she was a Billy Ray Cyrus fan as well), and wrote postcards to him when he had cancer. He was always kind enough to write back. Absolutely approve.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Family Guy Enters The Matrix]]> It's become way too predictable. Still funny, but predictable. South Park's satire was pretty accurate.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Legal Snafu Makes Thousands of Patent Rulings Since 2000 Invalid]]> @nutbastard: Unfortunately for your logic there, Bush didn't take office until 2001. This means some snafu carried over from the Clinton administration. But good try!

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Media Approval Ratings: Norman Chad]]> Who? People actually watch poker on tv anymore? Disapproval strictly on the basis of me hating the whole idea of WATCHING people play cards. It's almost as exciting as watching bowling.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Three Year Old Girl Crashes Car Into River, Probably Training As Bond Driver]]> My sister almost did this when she was four. My sister popped my aunt's Tercel out of neutral, and, because the hand brake wasn't engaged, it began to slowly roll down the hill, which at the end had a steep embankment. Had I not stalled the car by catching the open door, she would have been a goner.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on A Commenting Class on Commenting Class]]> Well, I already knew CatholicISM wasn't too welcome. CapitalISM is somewhat criticized. TriskaidekaPHOBIA apparently isn't welcome either? Aww shucks. Commenting has died. You know what else is dead? Those olde-timey vaudeville shows! ZING.

No, but honestly, this was a long time coming. I'm happy somebody did something about this. If we all want blogs to have a better image, doing a little spring-cleaning helps a whole lot.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Low Tech Giz Tips: Water Cooled Laptop Stand]]> My mini-refrigerator rack works perfectly fine. Sure it leaves indentations on my legs, but at least it isn't burning off my leg hair.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Guitar Hero On Tour Tracklist]]> To give some credit, What I Want by Daughtry has Slash on guitar.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Yo, Canadian]]> It's off to the side of the art museum. Any real Philadelphian would know that.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Joba Chamberlain Makes Clumsy Pass At Erin Andrews, Becomes Mortal (WITH UPDATE)]]> @Civil Negligence: Great Michael Scott reference.

He said "I Love You" in the sort of douche-baggity way you'd expect from a New York Yankee. And she clearly thought the camera was off.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on British Teen Repellent System Irritating US Residents Soon]]> They do something similar at subway stops in Philadelphia. They pump in classical music from a local radio station to try and keep gangs of kids from congregating. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked, because they're using a 50-year-old PA system that rarely works, and several incidents have occurred since then where gangs of high school students have jumped (and killed) bystanders at those stops.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Revive The Cassette With New-Fangled MP3 Technology!]]> Has anybody made a video cassette that can play DVD's (C)?

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on What's The Least You've Ever Paid For A Car?]]> 1991 Acura Integra RS- $300 (from Uncle, sold it for $500)
1998 Plymouth Neon "Expresso"- $2,900 (from someone's estate, runs perfectly except for a loose spark plug gasket that I have yet to replace)

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Ken Griffey Jr., Quiet, Slugging Non-Steroid User]]> I honestly thought he retired when I hadn't heard anything coming from his corner about 2-3 years ago. Growing up in the 90's, he and Frank Thomas were all I heard about. I mean, the guy started playing in the majors when I was two. I guess you tend to forget about people when the pinnacle of their career was more than 10 years ago.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Use GPS to Find Your Dead In New Forest Graveyards]]> I want to be buried under the 50-yard line of a random professional stadium.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Things You Don't Know About Modern Elevators]]> They actually enabled the close-door button in the elevators in my college apartment building. Apparently because of people trying to hold the doors open too long using the motion sensors, the elevators would go into panic mode and shut down. This resulted in a lot of bitching and long lines from tenants. To fix this problem, the building manager enabled the button (why, I don't know...) and disabled the panic mode. It's kind of scary how much control we have of the elevators now. I almost chopped of the hand of some idiot that took forever to get on. If they disabled the motions sensors, THAT would be a mess.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on Media Approval Ratings: Charles Barkley]]> As a Republican, I feel quite turrrrible about approving. But alas, as a Philadelphian, I must.

]]> <![CDATA[Joetimek commented on The Usual Dash Of Dollar Dog Night Bacchanalia]]> I love Philadelphia. We've trademarked asshole-ing. We may not win championships, but we'll drink you under the table...and then body-slam you through it.
