These fighters are sons of bitches. From the Times of London:
Dropping from 10,000ft, they glide in order to land unnoticed. The dogs often carry cameras and are trained to attack anyone carrying a weapon.
“Dogs don’t perceive height difference, so that doesn’t worry them. They’re more likely to be bothered by the roar of the [...]

I knew this kid (my sister knew them much better) when he was knee high to a grasshopper (and his older brother) — would not have pegged them for this back then or even up until into junior high. I guess it’s called growing up for a reason.

The movie channels can go screw themselves… yeah they’ve got Irish themed films on tomorrow,but no The Quiet Man, No The Fighting 69th, not even The Commitments or Once.
It’ll be a sadder day tomorrow without Duke, Maureen, Victor, and Ward on the tube.

I love the movie My Man Godfrey. I love William Powell’s urbane butler, Carole Lombard’s quirky blond screwball energy, but it’s the cool sophisticated older sister — the icy bitch that Godfrey thaws that completes the picture. This is that woman:
