Buzz on this documentary has been heating up in the blogosphere lately and, as www.threedonia.com’s resident evil industrialist I figure I ought to comment on it. I am awaiting this movie the same way Porvaznik and JohnFN await the first pitch on opening day! I hope to see it in a theater. If not, I’ll buy [...] Share on Facebook This will boost our traffic to be sure. A woman was apparently saved from a gunshot to the wound to the chest by her D-Cup silicon breast implants. Well OK, a plastic surgeon is making the claim, but he’s got the evidence — or so he says: Lydia Carranza was working at the Simi [...] I just wrote the following comment. If any of you need proof that I am correct, see if you can get through the below audio clip. I apologize in advance for subjecting you to this, but sometimes knowledge requires pain. They are angry because the world is not perfect. We do not all own [...] First… kudos to Marvel for setting the upcoming Captain America movie back in the 1940s so they could make him more patriotic. Jeers for thinking that only the 1940s would support a flag-waving (and wearing) patriot without any risk of eye-rolling. I’ve always thought Cap would be difficult to film — I mean [...] “It’s a dessert topping. No, it’s a floor wax…” Has a man with less ability ever made so much selling so little? In my opinion Steve Jobs has been selling more sizzle than steak, a lot more, and charging a premium mark-up for that sizzle for years. The iPad is a perfect [...] Here’s an interesting essay by German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk from The City Journal on The Grasping Hand of the modern democratic state and what it might mean. Here’s a bit go read the whole thing: The modern democratic state pillages its productive citizens. To assess the unprecedented scale that the modern democratic state has attained in [...] We didn’t say much this year about the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade last Friday. Reader Kenn Christenson linked in the comments to this fantastic and sobering article from The Weekly Standard about how experience and ultrasound force many abortionists into a crisis of conscience and ultimately, of course, a choice. I’m always reminded [...] Screenplay by Roger Ebert, He’s an artiste! A few weeks ago Outlaw posted a very nice article by Roger Ebert. I took the occasion to speak my mind about Roger in the comments. I also received a lot of heat at John Nolte’s old place for stating a negative opinion of Mr. Ebert. Why? About ten years [...] Matt Helm made a great suggestion in Friday’s Open Thread where I used a still from His Girl Friday with Rosalind Russell (grrrowl) and Cary Grant (go ahead and purr ladies). Why not steal resurrect Dirty Harry’s “Pick O’ the Day” posts? Well… why not? I love old and classic films and [...] Nice job “privacy advocates”. Because we want to respect the privacy of a few Muslims we all get to undergo this. On the upside? Someone at TSA is gonna get to look at your wimmins Abdullah. Chew on that. Thank Gaia that wasn’t a picture of John Napolitano. I [...] Any resemblance to actual Trzuprs is strictly coincidental This weekend a similarly-aged buddy of mine visited Casa Trzupr for dinner and, in short order, we ended up sharing stories of our childhood in the presence of my eldest step-son. We all have these stories. I am certain that everyone, throughout history, has told these [...] The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse by Albrecht Durer Are we in for a Zimbabwe-like hyper-inflationary Great Depression? This guy from a website called Shadow Stats named John Williams thinks so. Tyler Durden has the breakdown. Durden quotes Williams (his site is subscription only): Williams does not mince his words: The U.S. economic and systemic solvency [...] A principal of military science says that artillery trumps fortifications. Ancient peoples built crude wooden palisades to defend themselves against the spear and ax wielding invaders. Those defensive structures would fall to siege engines. Moving forward, masonry fortifications were constructed, only to crumble when confronted by catapults. Medieval castle builders would strengthen those walls, which [...] Share on Facebook From Canada, yet another reason to look forward to nationalized government-run health care: An elderly woman with a cane and a heart condition was told to bring her husband into a Nova Scotia hospital on her own or call 911 after he suffered a heart attack 10 metres from the facility’s front door, the couple’s son [...] Note to visiting jihadists: Graphic selected by R.T. Firefly, over the STRONG objections of trzupr You’re minding your own business, quietly trying to preserve western civilization and culture in the 21st Century, then this happens: “Islamic nations are mounting a campaign for an international treaty to protect religious symbols and beliefs from mockery.” Hmm. Whose [...] Ireland’s Independent has an article on Phelim McAleer and his wife, Ann McIlhenny and the response they are getting to their documentary, “Not Evil, Just Wrong.” Their documentary highlights errors in Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth.” Read the whole thing, but here are some highlights: Reaction to the film, which was three years in the making, has been [...] Eclectic Method Goes Phish from Eclectic Method on Vimeo. This mashup was commissioned by Phish from an outfit called The Eclectic Method to introduce a concert they performed in Indio, CA on Halloween that was a cover of the entire Rolling Stone’s album Exile on Main Street. It is as advertised — a mashup from [...] May the force be with you and make sure you use some Purell if you need to bury another Jedi’s light-saber James (don’t call him Jim!) Lileks also wrote the following on today’s post: Put up some Christmas lights Sunday afternoon. In response to a tweet announcing that fact, someone responded “oh, you’re one of [...] Since Capitalism is evil I’m sure the studio will shun all fast food and merchandising tie-ins… I have not seen the movie, “Red Dawn,” but I’ve heard you all talking about it many times in Threedonia. I went to James (don’t call him Jim!) Lileks’ place today, following the link Chuck had posted, and [...]
Veruckt asked for some hotforwords.com hubba-hubba and we are always happy to accomdate the V-Man – times 2. We also give you a question to accompany the above graphics. It will eventually be possible to imbed polls like the following directly into this here bloggy-thingy. For now, Floyd has set my level permissions [...] There used to be a syndicated column called something like “Things I Found Out While Looking Up Other Things”. Twas a clever column, full of the kind of useless trivia that I – and I dare say most of my fellow Threedonians – seem to collect like Acorn does scandals. Googling would have put that [...] Poor Roman Polanski… he’s depressed. Director Roman Polanski is feeling depressed two weeks after his arrest in Switzerland to face U.S. extradition for a 1977 case involving the rape of a 13-year-old girl, his lawyer was quoted as saying on Sunday. “I found him to be tired and depressed,” Herve Temime told the Sonntag newspaper, [...] This guy really doesn’t like Bono. To encounter Bono at one party conference might be construed a misfortune. To be subjected to a Save The Third World sermon by this runty rock squillionaire at both Labour and Conservative party conferences was enough to make a reasonable man come over all Pete Townsendish and want to snap Bono’s [...] “But I thought paper beat rock?!” About a week ago Floyd wrote a post on the criminal justice system lamenting that too often prosecutors use the same technique when attempting to get a variety of results, or, as the adage goes, “When all you’ve got is a hammer everything starts to look like a [...] Pearl Jam recently returning to the non-annoying and apolitical form they had in the 90s got me revisiting more of my favorites from the land before Bush Derangement Syndrome, a glorious time when bands/acts remembered they got into rock and roll less for changing the world and/or regurgitating the Democrat talking points, and more for [...] Share on Facebook Share on Facebook This is Lucy Vodden… childhood friend of Julian Lennon and the “Lucy” of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds fame. She passed away today in Britain at age 46 of lupus. “I remember Julian and I both doing pictures on a double-sided easel, throwing paint at each other, much to the horror of the classroom [...] Long story short: the a-hole’s at Al Qaeda are now using their a-holes for something other than storing the small amount of gray matter that Allah allocated to them. Specifically, at least one of them has used his colon as a shell casing, packing it full of explosives and then detonating himself in an attempt [...] Share on Facebook I found out about this incident ( The report from the Dallas Observer newspaper )from my good friend ‘67 Cougar…not that he’s not a great guy, but why would I hear about this first by clicking on his website on the 26th of September and not from a major news outlet? Yesterday, the 24th, Hosam Maher [...] Bill Clinton has changed his mind on gay marriage. “I think Naomi Watts should be allowed lifetime access to state-sanctioned girl-on-girl action on principle,” President Clinton told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper Friday, Clinton explained that he still believes each state should decide whether to legalize gay marriage, but he [...] Mackenzie Phillips was on some showed called Oprah talking about her father John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas. I refuse to show clips from that show, so here’s the London Daily Mail’s version…. He was not a nice man. From being raped as a teenager by her father while she was [...] And pirate sellout (this clip — not generally — love The Wolfman… Jack.): And pirate radio redux 21st century style…. Radio Caroline Share on Facebook Reader, commenter, Threedonian, and all around good egg J.J. has a post at his blog on Michael Moore’s latest defecation offering on capitalism. Check it out. I almost thought this was the source of man-boobs, but alas there’s no piercing and a telling lack of acne. Free lunch? I think I [...] A Florida man gagged on a dead frog in his Diet Pepsi can. The photo above was taken by his wife. I wonder if it was flown in fresh from Iraq? DeNegri was grilling in his backyard tiki bar in Ormond Beach, Florida, when he popped open a can of Diet Pepsi, [...] Movie Bob has an interesting video review of “Vicky Christina Barcelona.” (Unless you work for Penthouse or Playboy you may consider the link unsafe for work.) I haven’t seen this movie, as a matter of fact I haven’t seen any Woody Allen movie since he marred his girlfriend’s daughter, but I guess I’m [...] UK police are going to re-examine the death of Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones who was found tits down in his pool in 1969. The story was always a typical late ’60s drug/alcohol accidental suicide, but apparently an investigative journalist — also a dying breed — has given information to the police that warrants [...] So much about this New York Times story about ice cream trucks irritates me. Vicki Sell, mother of 3-year-old Katherine, tenses when the vendor starts ringing his little bell, over and over, hoping her daughter doesn’t have the typical Pavlovian response. Ever since Katherine had an inconsolable meltdown about not being able to have a treat, Ms. [...] |
