I thought the monarchy was just a figurehead

Since when is discouraging hygiene practices of the British a good thing?  Not only will their teeth be awful, they'll reek of three-day-old soccer sweat and fish and chips too.

Presented without context

I don't understand the appeal of a 3D penis destroyed by flesh chomping fish. Call me a buzzkill if you wish but I cannot understand why this is funny.

You know, aside from the notion that any rational person would think that the author was "a buzzkill," these may just be the two most sensible sentences ever written in the English language.

Two notable Denver deaths this week

I am sorry to say that Reggie McDaniel died on Friday.  His movie reviews were a refreshing change from your typical Rotten Tomatoes fare, and he was surprisingly spot-on with most of his reviews.



On a brighter note, Bruce Pierce died Monday.  Pierce was the neo-Nazi who assassinated Alan Berg in 1984.  Berg was caustic and liked to cause a ruckus, but no one should die for their words and beliefs.

Some guy named Bill Cismar wants your support

I have no idea if this guy is a good guy or not, or if he's a complete whackjob.  But he's enough of a moron that he's posting on the Head Moron's Yahoo group, so if you're so inclined go give him some love.  Or cash, I think he's wanting your money, just like every other politician.

Connections - Faith in Numbers

A documentary series by historian James Burke, "Connections" attempted to explain how various historical events and personalities led to discoveries that built off each other to bring about the modern world. Since the series originally ran in 1978 some of the material is a little dated but it is still one of the most interesting programs to have been aired on TV in my opinion. Fortunately James Burke has placed the entire series on YouTube (as well as the two follow on series).

Episode 4 - "Faith in Numbers" examines the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance from the perspective of how commercialism, climate change and the Black Death influenced cultural development.

I am only embedding the first portion of each episode the entire playlist for the episode is here.

The complete series is available from Amazon

In Response To A Dipshit

"Joe Bob" decided to leave this gem on a recent thread about liberals.

Yeah! Great F'ing points.   You know why I really hate liberals.  Because they want to spend money on public schools.  I hate having my daughter having to get a free and decent education.  And I hate how those liberals always want to spend money building highways.  Screw that.  They even spent a lot of money in the stimulus bill building highways.  Damnit, if we were a free country, we'd be driving on gravel.  You know what would be even worse?  Them wanting to spend my hard-earned salary on building schools.  And you know what I hate even worse?  People who say bigoted things about another group of people, like muslims, and then get slammed for it.  I'm the racist for saying that?  No, you're the racist for noticing that I said something about muslims.  God damn liberals

I left a quick response to him in the comments. But I have a more polished product to "Joe Bob" after the jump. But first:

*walks to the door with only "Joe Bob" and me in the room*

*locks door*

Now, "Joe Bob"...

This looks pretty good

Not to mention creepy.

The Vanishing on 7th Street


This is Brad Anderson's new movie. He did The Machinist, Transsiberian and, one of my faves, Session 9. If you haven't seen Session 9, it's well worth it. David Caruso is in it and his smarminess really works for the role.

Monsters





This looks fab too, particularly when you know it was made for only $15,000 with all the effects being done by the writer/director/cinematographer. Apparently there were only between 5-7 people involved in making the movie. It's also interesting that this is doing an online/ondemand release before the theatrical release. Really, if that's all it cost, I've got to think the director has already made a nice profit indeed.

Cancer Sucks

In keeping with the cancer motif we seem to have here, I'm posting this link to a sports journalist.
Quote
The lymphoma we’d thought we’d beaten into remission back in May came roaring back last month. We threw some really nasty chemo at it. The cancer ate it up and came back for more.

And so I’m going to die, and not in four or five months. I’ve got probably a couple of halfway decent weeks left. Then the lymphoma will take over my bloodstream and kill me.

I can't imagine.
He's going to chronicle the rest of his life.
A year and a half ago my mother died because of cancer.
Ghe cancer didn't kill her, losing huge chunks of her lungs did. She was going in for surgery to remove the cancerous parts when she had a blood clot that stopped oxygen flow to half of the lung that was mostly cancer free.
They couldn't remove what was left as she could barely breathe as it was. She basically suffocated to death over a space of about a month or two.

Cancer sucks, it's interesting and kind of uplifting to see this guy say, "Fuck you".
Not as eloquently as eddiebear, but still interesting.
Via the Agitator
update, title added, I couldn't think of one and put if off and then forgot.
Edited to make my point clear.

D-Day Piper Bill Millin Dead at 88

You might remember the bagpipe scenes from The Longest Day...yeah, Millin was that guy.  Not Hollywood BS, Millin was a real guy, and he really did play the bagpipes during Normandy.  Even though playing the pipes had pretty much been barred from frontline action since WWI, Millin's commanding officer ordered him to play anyway in order to boost morale, and Millin complied.

You Want Hate? I'll Give You Hate

I am fucking sick and fucking tired of being told that wanting a better life for my family is somehow racist. I am fucking sick and fucking tired of being told that not wanting to be taunted for the most vile attack on our country in my lifetime is somehow "bigoted'. I am really fucking sick and fucking tired of being told that "hate" is what motivates me.

Instead of hiding, I'll admit to something. Yesterday was my daughter's first day of Kindergarten. And as I stood in line with her to enter school, I saw the tiny little thing that I used to be able to hold on my lap walk into the future. I saw the most precious and valuable gift ever given to me set forth on a journey that will lead to (hopefully) a lifetime of happiness and enjoyment. And I saw the future walk into a classroom with a backpack bigger than her, and I thought about her future. And I was and am worried.

Yes, I am worried. What kind of future will she have? And I became angry. I became angry at those who wish to ruin her future. And I began to let the hate grow. Yes, the hate for those who wish to make her life more difficult than what I had. Not hate for an ethnic or other group, but hate for an idea, since people can change their views. And the idea I hate is liberalism. I confess, I hate. I hate those who want to advance an agenda that ruins the today, the tomorrow, and the tomorrow's tomorrow. And to them, I wish them the following:

WANT! FUCKING WANT!!1!1!ty

I mean, I really, really, really fucking want this. And the name of the company? Scandicraft! How fucking awesome!

The quadrotors can launch, recover, and recharge themselves at their huts (or “hangars” I guess), and when it snows (which I hear it doesn’t do once or twice a year), the bots can stay snug at home, enjoying their stylish furnishings which you can find at your friendly neighborhood IKEA as part of the new Röböüüüt collection.

Only thing missing? A Machine gun. Other than that, it's fucking perfect!

Watching this video gave me the kind of boner that leads to an awesome night of pork roasts and pussytubing.

Compassionate grounds

Convicted Terrorist bomber Abedelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi was supposed to be dead by now, wasn't he? That's why you compassionate UK geniuses let him out, right? And then, he got a hero's welcome. Now, you same geniuses hope the same isn't going to happen again?

The Foreign Office warned that any celebration of his freedom would be ''tasteless, offensive and deeply insensitive''.

A spokeswoman said: ''The Government is clear that Megrahi's release was a mistake. Both the current Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary made this clear at the time.

''Particularly on this anniversary we understand the continuing anguish that Megrahi's release has caused his victims, both in the UK and the US.

''Any celebration of Megrahi's release will be tasteless, offensive and deeply insensitive to the victims' families.

''We have made our concerns clear to the Libyan government.''

Yeah, you made your concerns clear a little late there. What do you want to bet that in spite of their "concerns," that the Libyan public still treats this like a national holiday?

If ghosts really exist, I hope that every official who signed off on this bullshit deal is haunted by the spirits of the innocent who died for the rest of their days.

And Mr.Megrahi? Please die in a fire while actually suffering from cancer.

So, 1 in 5 Americans Think Obama is a Muslim

That's obviously idiotic. 

Everybody knows that Obama is an atheist. 

I'd suggest he could be an agnostic but I'm pretty sure there is no topic on which Obama would admit he doesn't know the answer.

Not to belabor the point but...

is Ace on fucking fire or what?

So -- Confederate flag at the SC statehouse again?

Because the people flying the flag there say they too have good, non-objectionable motivations for doing so -- a reminder of heritage, honoring the dead, etc., etc. But previously we have shown skepticism towards their claimed motivations, and also decided their motivations were irrelevant -- it wouldn't even matter, we decided, if their motives were pure; the important thing was the Confederate flag was too hurtful to have near the people's house of government.

Again, so I now find out this isn't the rule anymore.

So if it's not the rule anymore: Why can't we have the Confederate flag at the SC statehouse?

Yes, I know, blacks (and others, including whites) consider it offensive and a nasty reminder of a national tragedy; but the spokesmen from Cordoba House have a response to such concerns, and that response is "Fuck yourself, get over it already."

So why doesn't that work in South Carolina, too?

I bring it up because making that leap to tie those together is simply genius.

Bummer: Famous paint huffer falls off the wagon

Patrick Tribett got busted again, looking like he gave C3PO a sloppy blowjob.  Last we'd heard of him, he was doing rehab and trying to clean up.  I think we all knew he'd go back to huffing, but you always hope for the best.

Holy crap!

Again, holy crap!

So a bull in Spain got a bit, um, peeved during a bull fight and leapt into the stands. 40 people were hurt and one little boy is in critical condition. Yes, there's video - it's not that gory but it's very startling. I didn't know that this was even a possibility to guard against.

Dayum

Ace nails it.

I don't normally link stories on the Head Moron's site, since I think most of our three readers at least float over there to read the blog even if they don't wade into the cesspool that the comments have become.  But just in case one of you haven't.
