    #5 is great. Surprisingly, I recognized the lake instantly even though we just quickly drove by it during a trip to Banff a few years ago. I guess the big granite cliffs are a bit unique.

    Are we sure that iPhone setup isn't available as a Jailbreak theme? Because I'd buy an iPhone just to use it.

    @HeartBurnKid: Agent of R.O.A.C.H.: how about you buy an iphone, take pictures of your self, chop them to be icons, jailbreak previously procured iphone, replace the app icons with your custom ones just like that guy did! :)

    I love the iphone theme. It's so adorable. Also, I'm always impressed by how the Apple employees reacted to Adam's Mac.

    Oh, and the forklift video was so sad. All that vodka gone :(

    I wholly disagree with this post. First of all, I am quite drunk at the moment, and am operating my laptop perfectly fine. I have read this post and am posting a reply with no difficulty whatsoever. I'm pretty sure my grammar and spelling are even spot on. Secondly, lamp posts, garbage bins, and Halloween costumes are not gadgets. Therefore, 3/8 of this post is invalid.

    Good day from your drunken friend, Aaron C Hintz.

    Ah, devil ether. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel. Total loss of all basic motor skills. Blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue. The mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it.

    @nutbastard:

    strangely enough, later that year i was being bullied by 3 older kids, and in raising up my arms to resist their pushing, i elbowed the ringleader in the mouth and broke his tooth, resulting in much pain and blood, on accident. but they all thought i was seriously badass or something.

    @BobotheTeddy: I thought that only happened to me. I found a drugged (self induced apparently) up Indian (from India) girl laying half-way in a high traffic road a few weeks back. I pulled her out of traffic and called the cops.

    Come on kids, if you're gonna do drugs... Do them at home or in a safe place!

    @shorty63136: True enough. Even there though I saw several cars swerve around her, not bothering to stop. She was lucky I came along. FL in tourist season is the wrong time to be passing out in the road.

    I did find myself secretly wishing that her parent's were ethnic Indians and beat her ass.

    I wasn't going to call the cops, but I couldn't get her awake enough to respond to my questions and I didn't want to start digging in her pants for an ID. Last thing I want is to be a sex offender for helping someone out.
