I ask all the members of BITOG to stop and think about what a joke that Christmas consumerism has become, with people trampling others to death just to get their greasy hands on some poorly made Chinese junk and looking like idiots by pitching a tent in front of a big box store for 2 days...

Motorola's not going anywhere. Although tech memories are short these days, it wasn't that long ago that the almost EVERYONE was toting a RAZR around. Moto is back in the game these days with a respectable phone and a hot operating system (ie the DROID) Even the commercials are attention...

'Johnny Got His Gun' is one of the scariest horror books/movies ever conceived, due to how awful it would be to be trapped in such a state indefinitely. IIRC, the video where the clips from that movie were used, and also the lyrical content, are from the song 'One', not 'Trapped Under Ice'...

I eat whatever the [censored] I want, just make sure to keep the variety wide and eat more good food (pasture fed meat, organic salad greens, etc) than bad food (fast food, grain fed meat, etc) Fast food and bacon is just fine as long as you limit it to once per week. And soda, stay away from...

Yep, that's very common in the 99-01 3.2 V6 engines. Known issue, that's been going on for almost 10 years now.

Let's face it, the V8 full frame RWD car was inherently a (mostly) reliable design. Due to emissions and CAFE, they had to go away. But paint tech sucked back then, so the cars would rot away before they mechanically failed. Tell me there's anything more reliable than a moderately tuned Chevy...

Some cars are better than others, plain and simple. No manufacturer is immune. GM had issues with fuel pumps and intake gaskets, Ford had issues with head gaskets, Toyota had issues with sludgers, Chrysler had issues with 4spd auto trannys, Honda had issues with 5spd auto trannys, Nissan had...

The only reason they pull that stuff is that they want to get rid of existing inventory. Plain and simple. Problem is that ordering a vehicle from the factory is mostly a thing of the past, and it's becoming harder to go that route. Especially these days, with the economy down, many car...

Use things that have been consumed for millenia, such as butter and olive oil. Stay away from the newfangled junk like Canola and the generic "vegetable oil".

I don't cook anything in plastic. That junk is meant for cold storage only, not cooking in. Only 3 materials that are to be cooked in: 1. Metal (stainless, cast iron, aluminum, etc) 2. Ceramic/stoneware/clay/etc 3. Glass

As much as I love traditional things, Red Delicious apples are gross! My parents have about 8 apple trees, and of course the Red Delicious always has the most apples! No wonder: "As new cultivars with improved color and earlier harvestability have replaced the original cultivar in commercial...

Golden Delicious for me!! All of you Honeycrisp lovers, look out for the upcoming SweeTango apple. It's a cross between Honeycrisp and Zestar. Developed by the University of Minnesota, it just started showing up in limited quantities this year. Honeycrisp and Zestar were also both developed at...

Citibank just jacked the rate on most cards to 29.99%. Yep, that's not a typo. Desperation is a stinky cologne, and that is nothing but an "all chips in" move by Citibank, who is otherwise facing MASSIVE losses.

"Mental cruise control". I like that. SO many people are like that. I call it the pack mentality, or an Illinois cluster****. Next time you're on an interstate highway with moderate to light traffic, just watch. There will be a "pack" of around 5 to 20 cars, all in a tight group going around...

Did you see The Onion video parody of this game? "Ultra-Realistic Modern Warfare Game Features Awaiting Orders, Repairing Trucks" Great stuff!! http://www.theonion.com/content/video/ultra_realistic_modern_warfare

Americans watch WAY too much TV. It's a bad habit, and I gave it up. The only day I ever watch TV is Sunday, for football. The "news" networks are anything but. It's all sensationalist tabloid garbage. And the way it's presented is like nails on a chalkboard, even if you have the volume turned...

5-6 years is usually the max life in very cold northern climates. Even less in some hot areas like Arizona and Florida. Over 5 years on my Acura brand battery (made by Interstate) and still going strong. Load tested at 537CCA last week (spec is 550CCA). Not bad for a "60 month" warranty battery...

Gray hair is OK with me, just as long as it isn't falling out. I'm 29 and have a full head of light brown hair, but the gray is definitely starting to show up. I remember being 14 yrs old and trying to find dye that would make our hair LOOK gray, too bad such a product doesn't exist! I dyed my...
