10 Fight Scenes That You Can Watch Over And Over
All of these are pretty good scenes and still fun to watch including even the completely unnecessary fight in They Live. But of all of these my favorite is still the bar fight in Kill Bill Vol. 1. Mostly for the choreography and the music and editing. Plus I just enjoy watching bad people get cut up with sharp things. Not quite as much as seeing them blown up but it's still pretty damn good.
This was done quietly in a Mar. 16th OMB order. So we have that to look forward to.
Why does bacon taste good? It could be the umami.
You probably know about the four basic tastes that we all learned in school: sweetness, sourness, bitterness and saltiness. And we're all pretty familiar with these. Well, it turns out there is fifth taste, called umami, that was first isolated by a Japanese scientist back in 1908. It's been described as a 'brothy' or 'meaty' taste that's found foods such as Parmesan cheese, ripe tomatoes, prosciutto, Worcestershire sauce, asparagus, and yes bacon! This is probably why people love the baconz so much - it activates all of our taste buds.
But wait - there's now a 6th taste - the fat taste - and bacon has got that as well.
13 Candies From Your Childhood
I miss candy cigarettes. Real cigarettes don't taste nearly as good.
Springtime means one thing: Penis festivals in Japan!
Well fertility and a good harvest used to be one of the most important things to societies. So carrying around huge phalluses was cheap insurance. And yes there is a vajayjay festival too.
Woo hoo - Bee keeping now allowed in NYC

from Fox News:
With his health care holy war, President Obama is sending America at least 10 messages since taking office:
1. I win; you lose.
2. My will; not the will of the people.
3. Government of Obama, by Obama, for Obama; not government of the people, by the people, for the people.
4. Corrupt House rules and autocracy; not play by the rules and democracy.
5. “I’ll tread on you” now steps on “Don’t tread on me.”
6. “I, the president”; not “We, the People.”
7. “All men are created equal” but I am more equal than others.
8. “The dissent of the president” overrules “the consent of the governed.”
9. “Give me tyranny and give me debt” replaces “Give me liberty or give me death.”
10. “That government is best which governs most” supersedes “That government is best which governs least.”

logprof,
The selections commitee needs to get there noses out of the big east/acc butts. And also some of the other big conferences as well. The big 10 should not have had five teams in the tourney. Minnesota had not earned it. The so-called mid majors are getting better every year.
Why? It's pretty simple. There are more and more good players becoming availbable to these colleges, and they can't all go to "major" schools. Therefore, the mid-majors are getting stronger and stronger and that must soon be recognized.
Georgetown deserved to be in, but a three seed? They were one of the best twelve teams in the country? Really?
Louisville and Marquette had no business making this field. Sometimes I think the only reason they want to expand the field to 96 teams is so they will have an excuse to put the entire Big East conference in the tournament.
Posted by: Land of Leakin at March 21, 2010 07:35 PM (AMYl0)
96 Nope I have an ex that works for the NCAA and he got the tix! (a good reminder why it's good to not burn bridges with exes 
)
PGiS-not sure the guy take on that, but no, usually it's not deemed something attractive!
Posted by: laceyunderalls at March 21, 2010 07:36 PM (qRU1N)
I suspect those who are more sanguine about this bill are young enough to think they are benefiting from it.

But, honestly, trivializing the emotions of anyone at AoSHQ as whining deserves a STFU.

As founder of the ONT and Blogger Emeritus I have to call bullshit on the list of "10 Fight Scenes."
I can cite at least 3 scenes from "The Warriors" that I would much rather watch on an endless loop than anything included on that list.
And speaking of "The Warriors," there's a long-standing policy at AoS that all posts must have at least 15% "The Warriors" content, though I note that the policy hasn't been adhered to as of late.
I've spoken my piece and shall say no more.

rum,
The taxes kick in well in advance of the start of the "coverage." That is the smoke screen. They will rake in all this cash and say, "See how much we have to spend on you?" Then in a few years here comes the spending. It will overwhelm us. Buy ammo. Buy guns. Buy dry goods and water.
These people are nuts and will stop at nothing to turn this country into another European socialist piece of crap. That is all.

And the medicine man's here 24/7
You can get it fast in Armageddon
Everyone on the way to heaven

Wash our faces go to work
There is no warning
That it all gets better when life is straight
It's bigger than you and the Welfare State
And we'll keep singing it's not too late

On my FB? Old friend of the family from church camp. She was a good kid for many yrs, but something happened to her in high school & she completely changed. For some reason, she got married out of nowhere & it seems her reasoning was that she'd be better off in Canada.
She's aiming for dual citizenship, but what she doesn't know is that it's difficult to get one. My pastor's wife is from Canada, & she's been telling my mom about the difficulties in getting one. Don't know if she ever will--& her record is spotless. But the old friend of the family doesn't want to see anything other than her little world. I feel bad for her.

Wait, what? My addled brain is missing something. So glad I have tomorrow off before I go deal with the high school kiddos on Tuesday + other school matters.

He got kind of pissed when I pointed this out. Apparently he doesn't read anything I send to him.

I think you should smack him upside the head hard. Repeatedly.
Hot Air spent more time threatening it's commentors than going after dems
I heard about that. It used to be a fun place. No more. It's been almost a year and a half since I commented there. And I came in with the second wave of registrations.

Music is good and the action is good. I was obsessed with bicycle pedals for while after watching that film.
First one and Parts One and Two of the best fight scene.
I'd really rather go and watch The Transporter and imagine him kicking some congress critter ass right now.

So I take it that he didn't give you a heads up that he was going to quit?
Posted by: Mætenloch at March 21, 2010 09:48 PM (oYxkV)
Well, except the ones that will gloat tomorrow. I'll axe them then.

I knew he was looking for something better and not planning on staying there for long, but I wasn't expecting that the first thing he'd say when I called tonight was, "Guess what? I gave my notice!"

I used live on bubble tape, though. It was better than stick gum.

Anyone who quits a job now is a damn fool. Even if you are in a field that is in demand, you are not guaranteed squat. Belt tightening is a way of life, now.

Awesome. Hoping it's that or an announcement that we're going to secede and will start closing the borders in 24 hours.

you can have my dad's job as he retires in a year or so. Then you get hit with racist charges because as being the boss, your role includes pointing out people not doing their jobs. And your the one of the lowest paid heads while new political favor hires make at least 20 k a year more (hell, there are a couple of janitors that make more than him) even if you've put in 33 years.
On the plus side, you do get to work with Rommie, the Bangladeshi calculator who is really cool with a great sense of humor

None of these dimwits would ever believe that it was the Dems blocking civil rights and the Dems enforcing Jim Crow laws in the South. The ignorance should shock me and yet it doesn't. It just makes me want to beat them to death with a crowbar.

What do we do with the boat people from Florida who wash up along the Gulf Coast?
Are they friendlies? Or you mean the people that we send back?

Maybe. Maybe not. The opposition to this could be strong enough for a fundamental reconsideration.

I'm gonna ask for a date for Tuesday. Any clever ideas? No, "make her dinner, and have your brother pretend to be a waiter," crap. It's not cute. It's weird and pathetic looking.

Refugees from Obamaland.
I say we make 'em sign a loyalty oath and serve 2 years on the Southern Border.After the two year stint, they get a couple of acres and oil refinery profit checks.
Send back? Are you expecting a zombie invasion, as well?
Posted by: mpur at March 21, 2010 11:30 PM (tr6Dy)
Why not? Sounds like a plan. The main problem will be finding a place to put them all. I say they should have to start their 1st few yrs in the Piney Woods.

Naw, the Piney Woods are too pretty. I was thinking about parceling out Big Bend country, out to El Paso, up to Midland/Odessa. Pecos region.
Ok, I'm spent. Night all.
