    Is Jakob Nielsen really Dick Cheney Jr? Perhaps he should talk to dad about the White House’s usability…

    I so did not understand Queen Street Man, but it still made me laugh. :D

    Chocolate mints suck.

    Wow… does this come in poster form? It would be a great cheat sheet to have available in the office!

    You’re missing the “Web 2.0 Whammy”, “Mystery Meat Grinder” and the dreaded “Flash Navigation Fracas”

    And if all else fails, there is always screaming like a little girl.

    I thought the Swedish Eagle Claw was a Vulcan form of masturbation.

    with a head like that he’d be a natural for a “Scotman’s Kiss” :dead:

    That wasn’t “Swedish Meatball Fist”, he was actually demonstrating his love life with the ol’ 5 khuckle shuffle. :puke: :limp:

    oops that was supposed to be knuckle :oops:

    “Queen Street Man” is a satire of Queen St. W. hipsters, a species whose natural range is a certain stretch of Queen west in Toronto.

    It’s woefully accurate.

    It’s usually possible to stun them and make an escape by hitting them with a Back-Handed Statement.

    I wonder if the glare off of his forehead (more like a fivehead) temporally blinds pilots as they fly over him? :???:

    The “Blue Underline Grab” looks more like the “Turn and Cough Usability Test”.

    Hmm, you might want to exchange ‘Swedish’ with ‘Danish’. :)

    If you combine the Swedish Meatball Fist with the Blue Underline Grab, you come in handy!

    On behalf of the people of denmark, I am so sorry: Jacob Nielsen is from Denmark - not Sweden. It’s no joke, so please don’t burn our flag!

    Ok, I’m going to make this simple. Lol. Guru Thumb Strike - “I don’t do fat chicks.” Sweedish Meatball Fist - “I’m never gonna get laid.” XML Thumb Strike - “I guess this fat chick’d be ok.” Blue Underline Grab - “Ok Sandy, sometimes guys like it when you tickle their balls like this.” Cooper-Style Monkey Strike - “You use this hand, and make sure he’s watching this one.” Iron Usability Palms - “I wish I had big tits.” Back-Handed Statement - “Grasp the breasts like so..” Dragon Steals the Beard - “Ok put your index fingers together, and I’ll place my thumb and index finger together, making a hole like image. Your finger is the penis my hole is the vagina. Slide it… -” Sweedish Eagle Claw - “Ok, You’re all graduates of Jakob’s sex-ed class. Now go fail at getting laid.”
