@Skunky: The first requirement for a good nights sleep is being alive.
@CrispyAardvark: Didn't even think of that. Don't get to see too many clamps here in San Diego. I'm sure we have them, though.
@Jackstick: It may leave a mess, but the birds will get it.
I'm sorry, but how is 1995 2o years ago? Let us not age ourselves too rapidly please. I'd like to hold on to that 5 years you so frivolously tossed aside.

Oh, and nice handles.
@Jackstick: Don't you know all lab-grown cars of the future are "bagged?"
@Sentientv2: OK, my bad...I'm an idoit... I rarely ever log in to Gizmodo, but I look at it every day. That's why I didn't see you responded to my comment on your comment.

As for your idea, from what I know of the Facebook-game possibilities, it sounds good, and unique. I would say there's a market for it, but then again, it took me two months to remember to log in when visiting Giz, so maybe I'm not the best person for technical advise.

Good Luck.
@octothorp: I've since talked with one of my friends that lives in MI who's an author. She gave me the lowdown of his early-career blunders with making stuff up. I thought you may have been referring to that.

I'll just take your word for it as far as the awful content of his literary work and read something else. Thanks.
@hilikusopus: My pleasure. Stopping is worthwhile.
@appletoad: There are many things in this song that I was unaware of.

Learning new things, every day.
@rocktopus: Replacements rarely work to end the addiction. They just "replace" one Nicotine delivery system for another.

Having said that, I would much rather be stuck near someone using a replacement.
@Grandpa's Secret: Wow, what's REALLY bothering you?
@hilikusopus:
I accidentally came across the audio book version of "Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking," and saved it for when I got the urge to really quit.

I highly recommend it.

The best part was his instruction to keep smoking while reading the book. That, and it's completely devoid of scare tactics.

It's less than 40 bucks....

@TheGarySinise: I'll never forget visiting a friend in Michigan in November when I had a five or six cigar a day habit. She was not a smoker so all my stogies had to be smoked outside.

I'm from San Diego and that kind of cold just ain't right. To think I was out there for no good reason, 15 min. at a time, looking for "satisfaction."
@tastes_like_burning: I stopped smoking for the second and final time three years ago. I now know that even one cigarette means another five years of trying to quit again, so that's it...I'm done. I feel much better (understatement), I smell much better(drastic understatement), it's one less thing that's always on my mind, and half the payment for my new car is funded by the money I used to spend on smokes.

To second your motion, though, I remember buying and smoking "Death" cigarettes in the early 90's. The pack was all black and had a skull and crossbones on the front. They tasted like floor sweepings but I smoked them anyway because I thought it was ironic.

I have had to lighten up on my reformed smoker obnoxiousness though. Two times I've made an even-tempered remark to someone throwing a butt out of a car window, and both times I almost had to defend myself in a roadside boxing match. I knew they were just being defensive, so I kept going. What was said to me by each of the two unrelated folks was beyond the pale and another less evenly-tempered dude my size may have had to demonstrate a better receptacle for the aforementioned butt.

So now I just keep it to myself and carry on knowing that at some point in the past when I was smoking almost two packs a day, I must have done the same thing to someone else.
@octothorp: I've never head of this Mitch guy and a cursory glance at his website leaves me puzzled as to why you say such things. I really am curious, enlighten me please. BTW...I like the name #. Good one!
@TheUltra: GRAND MAGUS ROCKS! Oh, and that is a parachute.
@blehbleh13: Don't bother, just go look at the night sky in a dark place.
What you see there will be real.
