Just putting this out there. I am beyond excited about the release of the new Call of Duty tomorrow…as a matter of fact I’m already feeling a little sick. Something tells me I’ll have to leave early tomorrow and probably won’t be back until Thursday. Cough. Cough.
Also last night’s Mad Men season finale was the best episode of any television show earlier and I’m playing my Al Gore card and calling that debate over.
We haven’t had the football party yet. Most of our friends our pharmacist and they tend to have odd schedules (lots of weekends). I’m hoping here in the next couple of weeks to be able to get it together but the delay gives me time to buy more pillows. See, I’m assuming the whole thing will turn into a pillow fight and tickling contest because as a straight male this is what we assume when there are more than 5 women together. Don’t burst our bubble.
That’s funny you brought up pillow fights because I nearly mentioned in my first comment. Nope…I won’t burst your bubble…but I caution you to avoid feather/down pillows…too messy.
We already had zombies in the last one and they were Nazi zombies, which I still can’t believe you weren’t using as a preperation tool. Luckily from that game I learned all I need to survive is some 2×4s, a ray gun, and a magic box that gives me random weapons.
Also the first reviews are out from across the pond and as expected it is spectacular.
Here I am,
Thanks to all of you who said prayers and thought good thoughts on behalf of Mom du Wank, who’s now out of the hospital and improving hourly. Later I will be able to make a joke about how her collapse coincided with the health care bill passage, but right now I am too worn out.
I’m a Benny Hill fan. It’s impossible to love every bit of his stuff, of course. You’ve got to take it as a whole. The sheer, shameless silliness of his show made it a delight. That and the girls.
From what I’ve heard and read (I once attended a lecture given by a co-worker of his), the man had deep problems. He had almost no life outside of his show. That’s why, when Thames Television dropped it without warning, he rapidly declined and died. And in the final irony, he died intestate and Thames ended up getting his money.
The lecturer told one story about Benny that stayed with me. He’d dated an actress (I think, but am not sure, she was one of the actresses on his show), and fell in love with her. She wasn’t sure whether to accept (he was, after all, a strange, strange guy). So she took a vacation in Spain. There she met the most popular bullfighter in the country, who also proposed to her.
Decisions, decisions–Benny Hill or a dashing bullfighter?
Naturally she married the bullfighter. The marriage was a disaster, and she came back to England and tried to get back together with Benny. But he’d been so deeply hurt that he wouldn’t even talk to her.
Did you see where Benny Hill got turned down for a postage stamp because of sexual harassment? It was because “Royal Mail deemed that his jokes were ‘in direct opposition to the company’s policies on harassment in the work place’.”
I posted the below on a different post, but I think it was more or less buried so here it is again. Some help from Vince Flynn/ Mitch Rapp fans, please?
“Speaking of Flynn… Would someone please tell me if you think the Rapp stories lose much being read out of order? Mr. MakeDo started with Extreme Measures and now wants another. I didn’t have time at the library tonight to figure out which book came first, or even if Mitch is in every story (is he?) so I brought home Act of Treason.”

Is that Redskins’ owner Dan Snyder?
no Scott… the guy in the picture is smarter… but as a Cowboys fan I’m psyched about Snyder and last night… great game.

Yeah, V, you might have the flu and should quarantine yourself a few days.
How was your football party with the ladies?

Call of Duty looks incredible. Hopefully people will take Cole Hamels “Fight Against Grenade Spam” to heart.

In the not too distant future Call of Duty 25 will be about the resistance during the Zombie Apocalypse
Hawk,
We already had zombies in the last one and they were Nazi zombies, which I still can’t believe you weren’t using as a preperation tool. Luckily from that game I learned all I need to survive is some 2×4s, a ray gun, and a magic box that gives me random weapons.

I played it, but I didn’t want to become too dependent on the magically appearing weapons. I doubt I will be able to depend on that during the ZA.
Where is Wankette?
Here I am,
Thanks to all of you who said prayers and thought good thoughts on behalf of Mom du Wank, who’s now out of the hospital and improving hourly. Later I will be able to make a joke about how her collapse coincided with the health care bill passage, but right now I am too worn out.
Excellent! And based on the timing, it must have been my prayer that did it, I’ll bet.
That’s great news!
Thanks for the update! In my prayers I referred to your mother as Mother Wankette.
Yay!!!!!
Get some rest. I’m glad she’s feeling better.
Hey girl glad she is doing good. Scared us though!
Glad she’s doing better! I hope the same for you.
Anyone see this? http://hotair.com/archives/2009/11/09/video-if-obamacare-is-so-good/
Think it’s the most crucial question for this whole abomination they’re trying to ram down our throats.

I’d ask for my money back from that lecture, Lars. The lecturer was passing off the plot of Hemingway’s, “The Sun Also Rises” as Benny Hill anecdotes.
Or it could be he was dipping into the Sinatra/Gardner lore.
You know, I’ve always had my doubts about that lecturer…

Not much of a milepost, unless you believe in freedom.

Some of you guys liked Dr. Starr’s ruminations on Narnia and what have you, so I thought I’d mention that there’s another of his articles online at the bot http://www.republibot.com/content/science-fiction-university-galactica%E2%80%99s-gods-or-how-i-learned-stop-worrying-and-love-cylon-go though tit’s not about Narnia.
