Schadenfreude is for lovers

Having established that certain things are crap, and seeing how much people love to complain about crap, it's no surprise that the 'net is littered with angry comments and posts about said crap.
Yet, there is a special brand of person who will get super-ass angry 13 or 14 times a day, often for no other reason than extreme boredom and/or gas pains. I like to call those people a**holes who spend most of their life leaving bitter and divisive comments.

Here is the process I believe these jerk-heads use:

1)First write the review out on a word processing program and go over the text a few times. I find reading it out loud helps! Make sure to check your spelling!

2)Next stand up and walk away from the computer and take a break for about 15 minutes. Have a spot of tea, or perhaps even a nice cookie.

3)Then return to your desk, slam your hand in a drawer repeatedly, drink a bottle of widow cleaner, scream "I hate (Item/person that does not deserve enough attention to merit any response positive or negative) more than Nazis, the Devil and lukewarm light beer!"

4)Erase every half way intelligent thing you previously wrote and then type as fast as possible with all the force and anger you can muster, leaving no doubt that you are upset in a way that would make people uncomfortable at parties, if in fact you were ever invited to parties. (please avoid dripping blood on the keyboard as they are hard to clean blood out of).

5)Press "enter" in a dramatic fashion.
6)Repeat everyday until you die in a horrible Rascal accident at an all-you-can eat seafood restaurant

Sometimes even a headless cardinal finds a nut

Not all web commentary is vapid, worthless and unnecessarily profane. Occasionally, you come across a product review that hits the nail (or in this case the cardinal) right on the head. I think you will agree* the following is why Amazon has customer reviews. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that it made me laugh 'til I cried. I'm a sick that way.

Perky Pet 337 Squirrel-Be-Gone III Feeder, 8 lb capacity
Bird Guillotine!
August 31, 2008 By J. Morris (Delray Beach, FL USA)

"This bird feeder became a guillotine for one of our cardinals when a black bird landed on the perch and the weigh closed off the hole that the cardinal was eating from... I'd rather feed a squirrel than to kill beautiful cardinals."
I'd rather do neither, but thanks for the heads-up J. Morris!

p.s sorry about all the hack head/decapition jokes, I'm not getting enough sleep.

What would you do with $50,000? This is the question that was put to the deep thinkers/homebound at Overstock.com. Now in all fairness, most of the answers on Overstock's not-that-overstocked Message Board were very straight forward. Lots of paying off of mortgages and assorted bills, after all these are troubling economic times. But just as my curiosity and laptop battery power were careening towards zero, the glorious light of crazy shone bright through a haze of normalcy:

Just in case anyone out there is interested, check out these great deals on Missile Silos! Prices so low, you'd have to be super-extra crazy to pass them up and/or think it was necessary to live in a missile silo.
