HOST: Welcome to The Answer Is
Kim Jong-Il, the only game show in the entire world. Today?s first combatant is Paek Song-Ryol, a street-sweeper from Kaesong Industrial Region who
enjoys chess, ideology, and foraging for edible grasses. Comrade Paek,
our informants indicate that you have not smiled since Juche year 71,
or the imperialist year 1989. The Great Leader [...]

We?ll level with you. This
unit wasn?t actually made by a company called ?HacVision?, and this
model isn?t really called ?Cease & Desist?. See, the original
manufacturers were forced to change their name shortly after they
birthed this eminently hackable GPS device.
We can?t tell you who it was, but let?s just say a Major American
Company objected to a vague [...]

Dear Mrs [REDACTED],
You may already know this, but in
case Alex has neglected to tell you, I am assigning him to detention
for one hour this Friday, June 8th. The reason is as follows:
Alex
consistently defied me. During class he contradicted me numerous times
when I insisted that any iPod was inherently superior to any Sandisk MP3
player of equal [...]

Before it was an Axel or a Mark, “Foley” was a Jack, as in the guy who pretty much invented movie sound effects. They call sound-effects guys “Foley artists” now, in tribute to the dude. As fascinating as Foley artistry is to listen to, we’ve decided that it’s much more interesting to watch, hence this [...]

It?s the time of the season
When hurricanes run high
In this time, you need a flashlight
You can power with batteries
Or your hands
The WeatherX Dynamo
Just in case the big one hits
It?s the time of the season for hurricanes
What?s your name?
Where?s your flashlight?
Is it hand-cranked like mine?
Have you listened
To the NOAA band
That tells you what to do to [...]

Yeah, I got the face of a Tom Waits hero but she still sits next to me at the bar. A woman like that, a woman like that makes a man feel like a Belkin 2.4 MultiMedia Keyboard w/IR. She makes me feel so full of life, just like the built in USB cord means [...]

We come before you in atonement. Looking at it in the hard light of day, it seems our contest 126 theme - Show us some unexpected ways to make sound effects - was a little on the lame side. We were disappointed that the vast majority of the entries basically pasted a boom mic into [...]

Sadly, the classic 1980 motion picture starring the Village People got it wrong: sometimes, you can
stop the music. Especially if your name is Low Battery Power, and said
music is played by an iPod. In that case, you?ll find the music
eminently stoppable.

Tommy Baritoni watched the photo print roll out of the HP Photosmart 3210 All in One Printer. Ah, that?s the stuff, he thought, admiring the full-color portrait of his favorite band in all their early-?80s glory, headbands, keytars, and all. They stopped making bands like Journey anymore, but I still believe.
Tommy checked his watch and [...]
