MERRY NEW YEAR!

I appoligize for my English, which stinks.

Beef Jerkey time!

FSN’s Best Darn’ed Football Plays

(from http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/6072132/Best-Damn’s-Top-50-Spectacular-Football-Plays)

50. Ortege Jenkins
Arizona QB Ortege Jenkins flipped over three defenders into the Washington end zone with :04 left for the game-winning score in a 1998 Pac-10 match-up.

49. Bo Jackson
With a national audience watching on Monday Night Football, Bo capped a 221-yard rushing performance with a scintillating 91-yard touchdown run. The play began as he [...]

Sex Still Sells, Especially in Denmark

This is an ad for a store in Denmark…wow, I’m speechless.

and this…

It’s like WalMart with boobs!

And if you thought those were something take a gander at the NSFW (that means not safe for work (or any other decent people) Floyd) ad for a sale on washing machines complete with a C-141 Starlifter, Ride of the [...]

What Ever Happened To…

these guys? ( I mean besides playing the theme song to King of the Hill where did they go?)

’cause everybody knows the world is full of stupid people…

The Shot Heard ’round the World

While maybe not as monumental as the events that surrounded the attendance of my first professional game, the date October 2, 1978 will stick in my head forever just as strongly. Any respectable Yankees or Red Sox fan, too.

Just like it was yesterday…

What? No!

I was lead to this story by Uncle Jimbo.

The things you don’t hear…
From The Eagle’s Nest Blog

…Ali told us of massive demonstrations in the streets of Dearborn following the shoe throwing incident in Baghdad. Unfortunately, we never saw reports in the main stream media about these demonstrations. Why? Because these demonstrators were showing support for [...]

Legit.

Chyler Leigh — of Grey’s Anatomy — is pregnant with her 3rd child. All within the bounds of marriage. To the same man. What is her problem?

An SOS to Threedonians

Dear Threedonians Everywhere,

You may have noticed (or, um, not) that I haven’t been posting very much this month.  Lots of agonizing pain going on, and not just because of my obamadread.

Here’s the thing: last year I injured my back in a workplace incident.  It was one of those workplaces that barely-employed writers frequent in order to have things [...]

I’m a Spam Idiot!

In Rich’s unflinching battle against comment spam he innocently and accidentally deleted a bunch of comments and sent them to a Hell from which he cannot seem to recover them. OK… I lied. Rufus did it. He’s very sorry and will watch what he’s doing next time.

So if you were [...]

An Appreciation

I DVR’d this off IFC the other day. West Texas Dust Bowl neo-noir. Lots of bullets and more notable for the fact that Karina Lombard is in a movie fully-clothed all the way through than for Bruce Willis’ bottomless gun clips. Luther from The Warriors is the bad guy and Michael [...]

Which One Of These…

was the better investment of money (as defined by return on that investment)?

Other Other People Who Are, Were or Should Have Been Afraid of Americans

Ground control to Major A**hole: Suck it. If it weren’t for Americans (our lesser citizens) buying all your Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Under the House that my China Girl lives in with Iggy Pop music you’d be just another fag-smoking bisexual Brit.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Sarah Palin and family on the birth of her new son grandson: Tripp Easton Eeyore Alex Van Palin Johnston.

More Old Helicopter Goodness

As a follow on to THIS POST about the “Speedhawk” which was touted by the tools at Danger Room as “the quest for the 300 mph helicopter”.

I found this jewel of an aircraft lurking in the weeds.

The Bell Model 533. It looks familiar because you have seen the aircraft it was modified from in every [...]

Real Dust Bowl a-Comin’

Once upon a time, when it came to politics, I believed pretty much anything that came from the mouths of my favorite bands. Sadly, the strong majority of these bands were socialist, from The Clash and Midnight Oil to John Mellencamp and Steve Earle.

However, much like with the realization [...]

“I’m Afraid of Americans”

Via Greyhawk and the Mudville Gazette comes this story from those tools at the Danger Room about

Reprieve, a British human rights law group that represents over 30 Guantanamo Bay detainees, is planning to work with musicians to lobby President-elect Barack Obama to end the practice of sonic torture by military interrogators.

So are these people [...]

In Case You Were Wondering…

…this is what a real hero looks like.

H/T Neptunus Lex

Cpl. Jonathan Yale and Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter saved Iraqi police and fellow Marines from a truck-driving suicide bomber, Marine brass say. The April attack could have slain dozens…

…Maj. Gen. John Kelly, the top Marine in Iraq, wanted to know how the attack happened. Like many [...]

Don’t Piss Off Santa

He’ll shoot you with his Ma Duce.

More movie list fun: Ridiculous Moments

The end of the year draws near, which means more “lists” over the past happenings of the last 365 days. Here’s one from Yahoo on the Most Ridiculous Movie Moments of 2008. And this list, despite being in gallery form, is actually pretty good.

Sometimes while watching a flick, there’s a moment that is so jarringly [...]

Movies to watch out for in 2009

Popular Mechanics of all places has a list, complete with embedded trailers, of what they have their eyes on in 2009. Some of these have been covered here and there. Some I haven’t heard of, like the Pixar offering.

I’m going to have to wait another year for Smokey and the Bandit IV, Stone Cold 2 [...]

Refueling for the Daily Bombing Run on Chuck’s Yard

Love Stinks…yeah, yeah

To get ahead of that Valentine’s Day rush, I bring you…

Bittersweets®

For most, there is no crueler day of the calendar year than that of Valentine’s Day. While a tiny fraction of the population can look forward to a holiday of wine and roses, poetry and song, the vast majority of us can anticipate a day [...]

Great Caesar’s Ghost!

Here’s an interesting/weird article from the Times of London on a surge of “real-life superheroes” in the U.S.

For Mr Invisible, the first and last blow to his burgeoning career as a superhero was an unexpected punch that flattened his nose.

“After months of designing my costume, getting my street moves just right, it was [...]

Something to Stand On

Heather Mills is being sued by a former nanny who claims she was forced to perform “extra” duties outside of the job description. One of these was to force her to spray tan Ms. Mills nude body. To be fair — it wasn’t a complete spray job so the damages should be dropped.

Where are they now?

Via Yahoo, a fun little look back at the movie Top Gun and its stars. Back when communism was bad, F-14s and Raybans were cool and Kelly McGillis could believeably be a government expert in the field of Soviet-Bloc fighter aircraft.

The soundtrack was the first “rock” or “pop” recording I ever purchased, back when Kenny [...]

Movie Review: “The Tale of Desperaux”

I am tempted to simply use the review for Spinal Tap’s “Shark Sandwich” but you know me; I’m never one to shy away from 2,000 words when 2 will suffice.

I am a big fan of reading.  Reading has literally (get it? “literally”) made me who I am.  My dad was a garbage man when I was born [...]

The most hated film critic alive

Speaking of aristocracy, Ben Lyons, the 27-year-old host of “At the Movies” and son of venerable film critic Jeffery Lyons, is being decried as the worst movie critic alive.

Consensus is that Lyons, the son of New York film critic Jeffrey Lyons, is unworthy of the balcony seats once occupied by Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel [...]

Rich’s Deposition: The Children’s Book

Guess which one is Rich and which one is the lawyer? Hmmm….

A Horror Movie

Link sent to me by fellow gun-pilot Matt. Hang in there to the end, it’s worth it.

A shotgun would have been better, but who am I to complain?

More on the class war

Victor Davis Hanson gives insight into the liberal media love of aristocracy and the current issues surrounding Caroline “You Know” Kennedy. This one is a keeper.

Compared to Sarah Palin’s almost immediate immersion into crowds and public speaking, Kennedy seems like a deer in the headlights before the media that is either ignored or asked to [...]

Bleecccchhhhh!

Two days of depositions for your (not so) humble correspondent. That leaves you subject to the not-so-tender mercies of Rufus (assuming that he emerges from his holiday drunk), Floyd, Chuck and the rest of the gang. I’ll check in at night, but keep those marvelous comments going. The next YouTube flick produced and [...]

Stephanie Speaks — Open Thread

There was talk earlier of Lorne Greene and singing….

Wankette, thank you!

NOTE: Picture taken in 1972, slightly before the birth of my brother. Not many more happy photos from that year.

Some Dogs Will Do Anything

Just to get to Chuck’s lawn:

“The Ed Hotchuli Bowl”

I so very seldom like — as Rush calls it — “APObama”.  But that nickname for the Bolts & Donks’ playoff game tonight = totally appropriate.

Photo-Analysis

Eric made the unfortunate mistake of submitting a pic from his childhood, which we are now legally required to mock.

Vegas not a total bust

Rufus, Floyd and Threedonia — ahem — staff,

Sadly, the powers that be trusting me to multiply the corporate coffers failed with my placing our budget on Black 23 (as seen here, been a fan of the number before most of the world knew of Michael Jordan and, yes, distracting St. Mary’s opponents with the toob-sox [...]

A post because I can. Ha!

Kane here, abusing my posting privileges to make a post out of something that could have just been a more  complete comment to the Col. Sanders Christmas post. Too bad. Rank, no matter how unearned, does have its privileges. I’ve got a password and I’m using it. And I can’t believe I’m going to post [...]

“Spiritually Significant” Films

Here’s an interesting list over at the Culture11 website of the “50 Most Spiritually Significant Films”. As always — arguable — but that’s what makes lists enjoyable to most folks.

h/t: Floyd’s Mom

Whoremonger! Whore!

I guess $40 is cheaper than buying her jewelry to do certain things.

Rich… is this the manifestation of a “dumb Polack” joke or what?!?

Ask This Guy…

“Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day.” — George Carlin from “Religion is Bullshit”.

376 Words

That’s how far into this AP story you have to go before the reporter gets around to mentioning that Hamas is lobbing rockets into Israel at a rate that suggests they got a boatload on special at Terrorists R Us.

And not to diminish anyone’s loss, but the reason that a 57 year old Gaza shopkeeper [...]

I Bet Any PETA Member Would Have Loved To Receive This…

H/T The Daily Gut

“No, you’re wrong COL Sanders!”
One of my favorite movie quotes that has only a superficial attachment to being in this post at all…but what the HELL.

So the Philistines were subdued and they did not come anymore within the border of Israel.

“Hamas” must be Arabic for “dipshit”. Hopefully Israel will seal the deal. I’m not hopeful, but the airstrikes are a good start. Here’s a Twitter site that counts Palestinian mortars and shells fired into Israel.
