Evan Roth's "T.S.A. Communication"

This is awesome: Sheets of stainless steel that guard your privacy and send a little howdy-hellooo to T.S.A guards. This'll probably guarantee you a pat-down and a dog-sniffing- and, if there's a solid line behind you, a few new enemies- but hey. In the spirit of freedom of speech, wtf not?

TLPD Ahoy!

If you need an excuse to add some ARGH into your afternoon, here you are: It's International Talk Like a Pirate Day. What this means is (according to international law and the constitution laid forth by our forefathers) that we get to be obliterwasted all day, call each other bad names, and cuss as much as we @$%#@ want. We can even threaten people with daggers if they don't do what we say. Wait... no, there's been an addendum: "As of 9/19/07, all daggers, knives, blades, swords, and additional armories under the classifcation of Lancerate must be cast in plastics as opposed to metals in order to pass official TLPD inspections." Well, that certainly takes the fun out of mutiny, but good to know.

Happy staggering, sailors; we'll be somewhere around 19 o 30' N of 80 o 30' W if you need us (but terribly drunk, so beware).
