'Sup 'rons and 'ronettes! Hope y'all are all having a fine weekend with friends and family. Hot as hell here but the A/C is kickin'. Without further ado, on with the ONT.
This Sunday starts the annual feeding frenzy on the Discovery Channel known as Shark Week. In light of this, here's a timely piece that covers the 20 Greatest Sharks In Pop Culture History. Land Shark should've been far higher on that list. I dare SyFy Channel to air Honey Badger vs Mega Shark and pay Christina Hendricks to star. Ratings bonanza. Guaranteed.
It's not often one get's to write this, but this was one hell of a car crash. Enough to make even the strongest car lover tear up. Million Dollar Car Wreck In Monaco. I bet the lawyers got there before the EMTs.
The collision, involving a Bentley Azure (worth an estimated $400,000), a Mercedes S Class ($120,000), a Ferrari F430 ($230,000), an Aston Martin Rapide ($230,000) and a Porsche 911 ($130,000), occurred in front of Monaco's Place du Casino, according to Sky News.
Foolproof Birth Control
Some Pop Quizzes
First up, a George Constanza quiz. Think you can remember some of the jobs he had?
This quiz tests how well you can remember some of the 80's video game sound effects and be able to name the game. It was a little harder than I thought it would be. Try, Name That Video Game
Training Video Of The Day
Tonight's handy helper video is Jenna Marbles who gives us some insight in how the ladies get ready for a date. Damn this is funny. WARNING: Some harsh language.
Caturday Stuff
This song goes with the above cat image.
Fine Art Submission
This is some pretty cool bird art done with hands. Guido Daniele Hand Bird Art. So, um, CAC, can you do this with your breastage stuff?
War Pron
Yes, time for some war pron. JDAMs, bombs, harsh language. And a little Jimi Hendrix.
Star Wars Blu-ray Deleted Scenes.
I had heard of some of these clips but had never seen them. I wonder if they've been added to the movie or left as an extra.
Obligatory Christina Hendricks Post
Well, she is in the news. Christina Hendricks To Design Swimwear Range. Hmm, hmm.
July 2011 Fail Compilation
That's all I got tonight folks. If you are interested in playing in the AoSHQ Fantasy Football league, drop me an email on the yahoo group thingee. I still have a few slots open. Can't believe only one 'ette has signed up.

The toughest and smartest dog I ever knew was a miniature collie (though about 1/2 again larger) mix named Brownie. He WAS brown and would sit quietly while his pal Fritz would entertain the patrons of a corner hangout but when people got rowdy it was Brownie that would dart in and take bites at the participants.
Everyone liked Fritz but they respected Brownie.
Good dog. Crossed over to Rainbow Bridge years ago. Still missed.

The repair bill for the vehicles was estimated at around $160,000, reports said.

Saw Captain America yesterday. My bitch at you guys is in white below, not really a spoiler though.None of you warned me it was sad, my poor kid was unprepared.
But hey, yummy, yummy Thor. Mmmmmmmmmm.

People like to crap on ET as the "worst game ever" (I actually enjoyed the game as a kid) but the 2600 Pac-Man port easily bests ET for the title. I vividly remember plunking out $30 from my allowance for that piece of shit and the grave disappointment I felt mere minutes after having plugged the cart in.

He lost her. He had a date to dance, finally, and he didn't make it. I mean we knew he'd live because they had that whole "my cells regenerate so I can't get drunk" part, but then it was sad how he lived.
I don't know, the boy was all caught up in the moment or something.

No. Perhaps it is because...the Captain and that other Captain didn't get together at the end (of this, I was glad because that "romance" had about as much heat as the last Ice Age)? Or is it because the Captain's best friend died? Sorry, but I'm failing to see how a young child would see Captain America as "sad".

I think the boy thought it was sad because he is more aware now of time passing and people getting older etc. Plus, I mean I guess to you old jaded guys the romance seemed pretty stale and stupid, but for the boy he was really rooting for Captain America.

A-fuckin'-men. The Atari Pac-Man was a hideous travesty. Really, really bad. I'll always remember plugging that thing in as a little kid who'd come up on arcade Pac-Man and wondering "what the hell is this?"
It and ET both sank Atari.

The Eagles won't make it to the SuperBowl. I can already smell the disappointment wafting in from Philly. Nnamdi will be tested unlike his days as a Raider. Teams avoided him because it was much easier running the ball against the weak Raider run D.

Rum, was it the friend part you thought was sad? The boy didn't think that was sad, he was amazed it lasted that long.
What I didn't understand was at the end when his team was toasting him, most of them seemed to be there but I could've sworn 3/4 of them got vaporized in that last battle. Of course part of the problem with the movie was keeping track of who exactly was getting vaporized, the good guys or the bad guys.
But wow, those bad guy uniforms were sorta creepy.

Yeah, they were very Star Wars Storm Trooper-esque. I thought that was kind of interesting.
I couldn't keep track of who the guys were on his team, the ones he broke out of the prison. I only knew the main ones as black dude, dude with the bowler hat and mustache, and Asian dude from Fresno (that part cracked me up).

That's one of those statements that sounds deep and meaningful to people who don't think about them, because if you do think about them you realize it's stupid.
You don't become angry for a purpose-- you become angry because something pisses you off. Unless you're a lefty, who selectively channels outrage in order to justify his or her own desires and prejudices. Selective emotion-- to me, anyway-- screams dishonesty.

The Donald is making noise again. Loud noise. I still am not totally convinced this was a publicity stunt, an ego self stroke, or even a half hearted campaign. Mostly I think he likes the sound of his own voice and gets a kick out of stirring things up. Some kind of Media troll, lol.
He claims to be serious this time (echo, echo echo) and says he will enter the prez contest if he does not like the Republican Candidate. WTF? Colossal ego and I guess you could throw in some audacity. There is a lot of speculation flying around about a third party candidate and now it is sounding like it vould become a self-fufilling prophesy. The voter pull would be from the right side, and help the left. A lot. Maybe straight to the White House.
You know the MSM will pick up on this and run with it. After all, something like a third candidate would virtually assure their idol 4 more years. How do we discourage the Donald? Ideas?

And of course there's also Mission Impossible 4. LAME.

Oh God, yes the Spiderman travesty, the boy was all over that too "why would they make a new Spiderman so soon after the old ones?"
And the Mission Impossible 4 trailer was dumb too.

Debt ceiling increase of up to $2.8 trillion Spending cuts of roughly $1 trillionSpecial committee to recommend cuts of $1.8 trillion (or whatever it takes to add up to the total of the debt ceiling increase) Committee must make recommendations before Thanksgiving recess If Congress does not approve those cuts by late December, automatic across-the-board cuts go into effect, including cuts to Defense and Medicare.
In other words, virtually the same as the Boehner deal in the actual cuts, which will likely be back-end loaded (we expect about $10-20 billion in 2012 cuts), but the Democrats get what they want in that it will not require a second debt ceiling hike before Obama's re-elecetion as $2.8 trillion should last well into 2013. As for "future cuts", well, that's easily what Congress is so very good at. Indefinite future cuts that is.

First movie I saw that abused the hell out of those-type of descriptions was "And the Band Played On", an HBO movie based on the Randy Shiltz (sp?) book about the AIDS epidemic in San Fransisco.
It was as if the movie producers made the movie out of the portions of the book that solely blamed the hospitals and "blood bank CEOs" for the spread of AIDS in the 1980s. What really amused me about that movie was how it "cleanly" it portrayed the decadence going on in the San Fran bathhouses, while in reality...yeah, I won't go there.

Milla cannot be taken seriously as an actress after the Resident Evil movies, at least IMHO. If Paul WS Anderson wanted to write love letters to his wife, he should have stuck with the traditional methods of that and not used a movie portrayal of a popular video game franchise to tell his wife how special he thinks she is.

Jack Kemp. If the GOP is serious about 2012, where is their modern day version of Jack? Sorry I just don't see it. If they are relying on an economy swirling the toilet and running another Country Club Republican then I predict Obama will win another term. I hope I am wrong, but at the very least I will never forget a person who not only talked the talk but walked the walk and we must never forget the people who politically paid the price. Yes, I expect to catch flak for his type of conservatism. But remember this, do you want to win in 2012? Then it behooves you to acknowledge what he laid down.

Hopefully never. Video games never translate well to screen because video games are meant to be played, not watched (although many video games have awesome cinematics that surpass a lot of movies these days, IMHO).
David Jaffe, the executive producer for GoW1 and 2, mentioned in an interview that there was a script for GoW somewhere and that David thought Djimon Hounsou (Juba from "Gladiator") would make a good Kratos for the big screen. *shrugs*. But I prefer that GoW would never become a movie as Kratos is already too over-exposed and a movie would just destroy the character, as it would never meet the fan-boys high expectations.
And for the love of God, if a GoW movie is ever green-lighted, DO NOT LET Uwe Boll get his hands on it.

The boy has been taught from a very early age how to behave in a movie theater. He is usually fairly quiet, except sometimes he talks back to the trailers. He doesn't kick seats, he doesn't run around the theater before the movie starts, etc.
It pisses me off to absolutely no end that other parents seem incapable of teaching their children how to behave in public. I don't give a good goddamn if it is a kid's movie--that's the perfect place to teach them how to behave.

My take on that deal is Jack was a Company Man. The GOP knew he would step up when asked, even though Jack Kemps financial plans totally contradicted Bob Dole (a Country Club Repub). Jack did exactly as planned and his political career was toast after that. Fast forward to the RINO John McCain and how Gov. Sarah Palin stepped up to save his ass. History repeats itself. Seems the GOP is stuck on stupid and willingly sacrifices it's best because "it's their turn" to be president, instead of what is best for the country.

2.8 trillion ought to be enough to get through 2012, so I think we blinked. Having cuts that are automatic would also prevent the Dems from having to vote on it while allowing them to demagogue some alternative (of course, it would prevent us from having to vote on Medicare cuts as well).
It's really not bad in the grand scheme of things--no tax cuts and we're talking about trillion dollar cuts now as opposed to a few billion--but since we were fighting over six vs. 18 months, it would be a win for the Dems there.

The boy has been taught from a very early age how to behave in a movie theater. He is usually fairly quiet, except sometimes he talks back to the trailers. He doesn't kick seats, he doesn't run around the theater before the movie starts, etc.
You're a good mom.
There was a young boy sitting beside me during Captain America, but he didn't bother me at all. The only thing I heard him say was "Red...Skull" in awe when Agent Smith pulled off his skin sheath. (Note - the way this kid said it was pretty darn cute and even melted the heart of the Ghost of Sparta...a little, mind you).
It pisses me off to absolutely no end that other parents seem
incapable of teaching their children how to behave in public. I don't
give a good goddamn if it is a kid's movie--that's the perfect place to
teach them how to behave.
They do it in no-kids movies too. When my sister and her husband took me to see both Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm street, there were at least 2 to 3 infants in the audience and at least a handful of pre-teens in the audience. And of course they cried and carried a fuss too. What kind of parent takes infants of all people to horror flicks showing more blood and gore than in a hospital ER and more boobs than at an Obama general staff meeting?

It's hard to say what is going-on right now. An new update says that ABC is getting pushback, too:
"A senior White House aide pushed back against the idea that a deal was struck. 'Talks continue, but there is no deal to report,' the aide said."
Unless they're closer than they say, it's going to be a long night.

Meh, we got two more budgets to ding him on before his election to rein him in. If the deal goes down as advertised it will be seen as a huge win for repubs IMO. No taxes and all cuts and a vote on a BBA. The threatened medicare cuts take that arrow out of the dems quiver. We all wanted more but its pretty damn impressive for a bunch of newbies in the weakest 1/3 of government.

There are about 330 million people in the US. Budget deficits are financed by bonds, which are -- in turn -- backed by promises to repay from tax revenue. For every $1T deficit, about $3,000 is added to the amount promised to be repaid by each individual citizen.....be they young, old, infirm, working, unemployed, or infants.
You currently owe $14.3T / 330M, or about $45,000. Last year, it was $40K. Next year, looks like it'll be $50K.

The foundation of this budget agreement was written long ago...
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Cowboys and Aliens: A Review
1. Good movie. Sifty Approved: No sucker punches and no liberal bullshit.
8/10 Hippie Punches
Men are men. Women are happy about it.
No moral equivalency with the aliens. No agonizing navel gazing.
Preachers talk about God and people listen without laughing.
Guns are not demonized.
Dogs and kids and family are cherished and respected.
Nobody apologizes for who they are.
I won't spoil anything for you, but this is one of the most un-PC movies I have seen ever.
Go see it so they'll make more like this.
Daniel Craig:
loses a little of his short-man snottiness and plays a good knock-off of Steve McQueen. Not perfect, but you can kinda see Steve McQueen in the background at times nodding his head.
Harrison Ford: As awesome as I have seen him in years. The biggest acting stretch I've seen him make since Regarding Henry. Real acting and real emotion.
You'll love him, you'll hate him, you'll respect him, and you'll want to drink beers with him.
Freshest, most original-yet familiar new character I've seen in movies since, well, Han Solo.
Special effects are good.
Get to see plenty of the bad guys.
Plenty of action of many types.
No grinding, forced bullshit love story that slows everything down.
There is one disturbing part that made me actually have nightmares last night. Be ready for it. Suffice it to say that you will hate these fuckin aliens so bad you will want to kill some yourself.

Bingo!
If there's a major flaw with Captain America it's that it's a total fan movie. Lots of stuff is there that only the fans would know.
Yes, in the original Captain America comics, the scientist that develops the super soldier serum never writes the formula for the serum down but memorizes it instead so when he's shot and killed, the formula dies with him.
And now that I think about it, this was never really mentioned in the movie.

Doubt it. Who cares though (other than I and a few other people, and we aren't important)? It's just a damn movie.
One more slight bitch about the super serum. *more spoilers* Apparently, it "rewrites DNA". wtf? That isn't blue bug juice, that's retro-viruses, and that is shit that I wouldn't want injected into me even with 2010 technology.

Is that the muscle you really want to work out?

I've got some leeway. Plus, my heavy equipment operators license is due to expire anyway.
That workout might work some, but I would bet my truck that he had a team of dieticians, trainers, and doctors working on him like Ivan Drago.

Yes, in the original Captain America comics, the scientist that develops the super soldier serum never writes the formula for the serum down but memorizes it instead so when he's shot and killed, the formula dies with him.
And now that I think about it, this was never really mentioned in the movie.
Considering it was a comic book movie that was what I sort of assumed. And there was that explosion in the lab so who knows. The notes could have been destroyed there.
I still maintain *I* should be cast as Black Widow.

You're gonna have to post some sample pics to see if you qualify for the role.

It's like a carnival full of geeks and boobehs and drunks and drunk geeks and drunk boobehs and horses and bad actors doing skits.
It is not to be taken too seriously. It is, however, a great place to meet easy-going relaxed women of all ages and types who you know are out to have a good time.
Just the fact that they are there means they know how to be silly and fun. If they are dressed up, you already know they have an imagination and are willing to let their hair down in public.
And women get super horny in a bodice and skirts. That science is settled.

Yeah, the only problem is how far out from the city it's held. Limits the time you can spend out there since you're always factoring in how long it will take to get home.
We've never gotten to see the jousting, even though we've tried. Maybe one of these days. Never miss the raptor show, though. Best part of the day, aside from shopping. (heh)

Tell them your name is Kratos and you live in your mom's basement in an undisclosed location in Pennsylvania. Don't go to mentioning the sword fetish though. Well, since it's a renfair maybe the sword fetish would score you extra points, so go ahead.

I have a belt with bells, ostensibly for belly dancing. Wear it more with pirate garb. Except it needs a few more links now...
I love looking at the jewelry chainmaille and the cowls. The patience it takes is amazing.

Measles Outbreak Triggered by Unvaccinated ChildMoney quote:
<quote>Parents who intentionally under-vaccinate tended to be white, college-educated and have an upper or middle-income level, the study found. Many believe that living a “natural lifestyle” will protect their children against vaccine-preventable illness, according to the study.</quote>
Of all the moronic fucking things I've read...really? Really now? "Natural lifestyle"? I would think the phrase "natural lifestyle" implied getting sick and praying things turned out well. Fuck the "natural lifestyle"! I want my vaccines plentiful and my food and water disease free. I'm 31. I've already outlasted the natural lifespan of our primitive ancestors by quite a few years. Thank you, manmade technology! Beat nature until she screams like a little bitch!

I did pick up Delicatessen on DVD, an introduction to philosophy, and programming manual for iphone games.
It is already picked over fairly well. The language books are a pale shadow of themselves and I can't even find the music book section.
