            1. BDub   10 years ago

              CRIPPLE FIGHT!!!!!

  2. Slammer   10 years ago

    The NSA monitors have knobs, buttons, meters, and mesh speakers? Isn't that NASA?

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      I thought one was a sub-agency of the other... I mean, isn't NSA wholly contained within NASA?

      1. Slammer   10 years ago

        I think you have it backwards. Isn't every agency a sub-agency of the NSA now?

      2. BiPolarMoment   10 years ago

        Inclusively perhaps.

      3. dudemeister   10 years ago

        Yes, but it is a subsequence not a substring!

    2. John Galt   10 years ago

      NASholes.

      1. Entropy Void   10 years ago

        Nice.

  3. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

    What good is having all those TVs if they're all tuned to the same channel?

    1. mad.casual   10 years ago

      Apparently the commentariat at the NSA thinks, "NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ" too.

  4. Libertarian   10 years ago

    Miss me yet?

    /Bok

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      Who?

      /H&R

      1. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

        ME!

        /Payne

    2. John Galt   10 years ago

      It's only been what? Two weeks? Three? Seems like less than one.

  5. db   10 years ago

    I don't get it.

    1. Slammer   10 years ago

      What kind of mind draws that kind of font in the speech balloon by hand?

      1. Almanian!   10 years ago

        Only The Shadow knows....

  6. Libertarian   10 years ago

    If covert placement of these statues become a "thing" perhaps Snowden can sneak back into the country by painting himself silver like one of those street performer statues. That is, of course, if he even wants to come back.

    1. Steve G   10 years ago

      He doesn't. He's living the good life as a paid employee of the Russian govt!!
      /Team RED fellator

      1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

        His commute, however - Not so good.

        1. Libertarian   10 years ago

          Oh puhleez. If he ain't tele-commuting, nobody is.

          1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

            Actually I'd think he's be most disinclined to utilize telecommunications services for anything of import or sensitivity.

    2. John Galt   10 years ago

      Some of those silver painted street performer statues are not to be messed with.

  7. The Hyperbole   10 years ago

    If I were Dabney Coleman, I be more concerned about where bald George Wendt's right hand is, and why he's holding that clip board like that.

    1. John Galt   10 years ago

      Ho ho ha. You got a bad mind.

  8. John Galt   10 years ago

    How did they put it the park without you knowing? It's not "in the park," dimwit. It's in a huge strip of photo negatives hanging on the wall. Duh.

    1. Product Placement   10 years ago

  9. Almanian!   10 years ago

    1) Julianne Margulies has fallen far since her time on "ER"
    2) NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ
    3) To all of you, starting with Julianne Margulies:

    *SLAP!*

    Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids. I hope you choke on a piece of chicken while laughing uproariously at what you think is one of Agile Cyborg's posts, only to realize it was someone trolling him as "Agile_Cyborg", and you slowly gasp your last breath with the realization that, in the end, you were PWND.

    1. Rich   10 years ago

      *slap!*

    2. hamilton   10 years ago

      Happy Friday! Christ I need a drink.

      1. Almanian!   10 years ago

        You know, for a magazine called REASON, the drinking was better when Virginia Postrel was around....

        Wait...

        1. invisible furry hand   10 years ago

          *slap!*

  10. sarcasmic   10 years ago

    I snickered.

    1. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

      I lightly guffawed.

      1. Almanian!   10 years ago

        I chortled, but under my breath

  11. Almanian!   10 years ago

    KFC for breakfast, bitches - champion style. Original Recipe, BTW. Mmmmm....

    1. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

      DON'T CHOKE!

      1. Cdr Lytton   10 years ago

        Also, fried chicken.

        1. Almanian!   10 years ago

  12. Swiss Servator... Switzy!   10 years ago

    OK, sage had enough time to comment....

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  13. Cdr Lytton   10 years ago

    Why is there a bulldog clip on the iPad?

    1. UnCivilServant   10 years ago

      The case split at the seams and Apple said it wasn't covered under warranty.

  14. $park? the Swifty   10 years ago

    Uh, wut?

  15. Lord Humungus   10 years ago

    I don't get it. Or maybe I do but not enough to really care.

  16. Loki   10 years ago

    "It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sommbitch or another."
