3D Weekend Five: Baby, You Can Drive My Car

This Five is dedicated to cars: cars you’ve owned, rented, leased, borrowed, stolen; cars your family had, cars you’ve coveted, any great TV/film cars…

5.  ’65 Chevelle:  My first car.  It was a POS that my dad paid my cousin $300 for, probably $298 more than it was worth.  No power steering (after a month [...]

Christian Bale — American Psycho

And There Is Gas in Uranus

Saturn moon Titan may harbor ocean below surface according to this item from the AP: http://yhoo.it/KJs9kI

The latest evidence is still indirect, but outside scientists said it’s probably the best that can be obtained short of sending a spacecraft to drill into the surface — a costly endeavor that won’t happen anytime soon.

How I learned not to love health care reform

While the Roberts’ Supreme Court was busy handing down its verdict yesterday on the Affordable Care Act (euphemise much?), I lurked the comment threads here and at various other websites.

I felt the person who had this ruling the most right was our commenter Veruckt, who stated the fact that many missed through all the [...]

The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth…

Amen brother…

Alimentary My Dear Watson!

Who wants a frenema! Perhaps this is classified as pink collar crime… whatever you call it, it’s disgusting:

A Florida man is under investigation for repeatedly returning boxes of used enemas to a CVS pharmacy where workers re-shelved the items, cops report.

The unidentified suspect, who has not yet been charged in a product tampering [...]

From the Trailer Park — Looper

Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels. I’m not sure if I can get past Levitt’s makeup, but the premise is cool.

Hooked ‘Em!

Don’t mess with Texas Department of Homeland Security:

The U.S. government, understandably, doesn’t want its drone technology to fall out of the sky and into other peoples’ laps. But being able to hijack a drone and control it? That’s even worse. And a team of researchers has done it for 1,000 bucks.

The University [...]

… the best rockin’ take on funksters I’ve heard since Collective Soul covered “You Dropped a Bomb on Me.”

C’est la Vie

When McCain lost the Presidential election in 2008 the lovely Mrs. Firefly was quite distraught.  In a sincere attempt to cheer her up I said, “Look, even if they do the worst they can do that just means the country turns into France.  You and I like France.  We wouldn’t mind living in France.”

Don’t Get Caught Watchin’ the Paint Dry!

Yesterday we got sucker punched. Yesterday we got caught watching the paint dry. We put all of our eggs in one basket despite the warnings of thousands of years of human history and myriad cliches telling us explicitly to not do just that very thing. I don’t know if John Roberts’ seizure meds affect [...]

From the Trailer Park — Here Comes the Boom

Yeah you know how it ends, but who doesn’t like a feel good sports movie? Kevin James plays it a bit straighter here and looks like he’s gotten himself into shape.

Friday Open Thread

From the Trailer Park — The Prototype

It’s called a “teaser” but it’s a bit longer than that. Neal McDonough is in it as well.

Meanwhile, in another part of the city …

Hold it! Hold it, hold it, hold it!!!

While back-flips, hand-wringing and emotions of all kinds surfaced in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision on “Obamacare,” lest those not named Stosh or Kenn not forget, 255 (alleged) racists, from both sides of the aisle (at least the ones who didn’t walk out on [...]

Slaughter. Til the morning light…

Not what the band had in mind but the last time I was in Iraq this was our theme song (I flew on the night shift).
