You are SO lucky to be able to go there.
Willy Wonka indeed!
Man, Gizmodo has carried SO MANY interesting (if not real or real practical) things from Brando over the years that the mind boggles.
Please don't stop.

Yeah, like that stops 80% of the commenters on here.
I, for one, would love to read comments that have been posted using some automated translation, and therefore butchered in some wonderful, mysterious way.

I feel like a dumbass for sounding like a typical guy on the internet - but I just couldn't overlook it this time.

Well done, though, Elaine: it's great to see the man behind the myth, and even more interesting to draw so many parallels between his work and your own. I'm not sure I had ever thought of it that way.

Nice article BTW. Somehow this is exactly how I pictured the Brando office, but consider my bubble burst on the man himself.

They look pretty, but are so easily broken. We have R200's that way outlasted our R500's at work.

And the USB-Powered Snozberries really taste like real USB-Powered Snozberries.

Humping Dogs for USB hub station

Thats my story and I am sticking to it.

I watched a USB Humping Dog crawl along the edge of a Seven Port USB Hub and Card Reader. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a Seven Port... USB Hub... and Card Reader. And surviving.

"I understand. You found paradise on Gizmodo. You had a good Gawker account, made a good comments, the editors protected you and there were comment threads and you didn't need a friend like me. But, now you come to me and you say "Brando, give me USB Humping Dogs." But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Brando. Instead, you come into my home on the day my daughter's to be married and you ask me to sell you a USB-powered tchochke.
This I cannot do."

It wasn't him, Kaiser, it was you. Remember that night on Gizmodo you came down to my thread about unicorns and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Buick." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night!
I coulda taken Buick apart! So what happens? He gets Comment of the Week and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Facebook-ville! You was my brother, Kaiser, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to comment with Facebookers for the short-end money.
You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Kaiser.

Post comments as one of them, Kaiser-Machead, to discover where your strength and your power are needed. Always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. They can be great commentors, Kaiser-Machead, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good comments, I have sent them you... my only son.
Now can we stop with giant pictures and retarded quotes of Marlon Brando?

I have summoned you here for a purpose.
For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little life, Kaiser-Machead. But now, you shall witness... your DISMEMBERMENT.
Destroy him OMG!PONIES! NOW or you, yourself shall be obliterated.
