"Spare some change?"
"Sorry. [empty pockets gesture]"

And it's true. Nowadays, I pay for stuff mostly with credit cards, so I don't normally have change on me to spare.

Introducing Panhandlr, a way to give money in an increasingly coinless world.

Here's how it works:

1. You register on Panhandlr's website, providing credit card or PayPal information.

2. A homeless person registers at his or her local Panhandlr office and receives a coded sticker to attach to a sign.

3. When you see a homeless person to whom you want to give money, simply photograph his or her coded sticker with your smartphone and select how much money you want to give.

4. Homeless people can cash out what they've collected at any time at their local Panhandlr office.

Live Thog: Iron Man Three

on

Is it me, or do visual effects actually look worse nowadays?

God, imagine Triple H as Thor.

Clearly, Disney acquired Lucasfilm to offset the enormous bath it will take on The Lone Ranger. Nothing another Star Wars film can't soothe.

Is this…Eiffel 65?

Yeeeup.

AND "Mambo No. 5"?!

Jon Favreau's physique is like a box of chocolates.

Was that ShamWow Guy?

With a little editing, The Mandarin's transmissions could be Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" ads.

Downton Abbey, eh?

[snort] Who would ever attack San Rafael?

Studio note: The house destruction scene could use some product placement. Can you work in an Audi?

An active phone booth.

I don't understand why Tony is so traumatized. Wasn't he all jokes at the end of The Avengers? Shawarma?

Heh. Iron Patriot is Fe-lawful.

Is Killian's company named AIM because it's MIA backward?

Adam Pally!

I can't tell if this speed test is product placement or not.

Isn't this the drug lord's house in Bad Boys II?

Reverse Home Alone.

Ra's al Ghul'd.

"I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Budweiser."

If Killian needs Stark to solve his problem, why did he try to kill Stark earlier?

Rhodes was hunting a master terrorist in a polo shirt and jeans.

What if the boy never unlocked the doors? Would Stark be running around with just an iron forearm and crus?

This is the longest Christmas ever.

I'm tired of action scenes in shipyards.

Drill Man. Tony Stark = Dr. Wily.

Capcom Fighting Game Idea: Iron Man vs. Mega Man. All robot characters.

I'm unclear as to how you vanquish a weaponized baddie.

FiOS in small town Tennessee. Mmmkay.

Written by Shane Black and Drew Pearce. Drew Pearce… Oh. He created No Heroics.

If Happy wasn't so nosy, he would not have been injured at the Chinese Theatre, and Stark would not have challenged The Mandarin, and The Mandarin would not have attacked Stark's house, nor would Stark have visited Tennessee.

So if Happy wasn't so nosy, Iron Man 3 could have been an hour shorter. Killian could just have kidnapped Pepper.

Operation Fat Man?

Hmm… Nothing on YouTube.

Oh. "The Man Who Ate Himself to Death" is the same special. Just…different title.

Here we go. Video of the special.

O__O

He looks like…

Actual accompanying narration: "Can Ricky be shipped across the Pacific Ocean by sea?"

Did anyone think to wait until he turns 13 before removing the mole and train him to be a ninja in the interim?

The Iron Cone
Our tribute to Game of Thrones: The cream is dark and full of cherries (black cherry ice cream), the blood of the dragon (spicy dark chocolate swirl) with every bite a stab from the Kingslayer (pierced with broken sugar cones).

There's Always Money in the Banana Stand
Banana ice cream and chocolate flakes with homemade peanut brittle covered with chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt. Each scoop comes with a chocolate coin. Ode to Arrested Development!

Los Pollos Helado
Cereal milk ice cream with Blue Razz Pop Rocks. Eh?
