— Open Blogger Aright, alright, the ONT was a bit weak on teh funneh last night so I'm bringin' a bit more tonight. If you think it still sucks, well it's obvious you haven't had enough to drink yet so go get a cold one and dive right on in to tonight's ONT!
So to begin tonight's ONT, we'll do a little math. How did I not see this before?
No, it's not racist. It's just math.
Well for tonight's musical entry, it would've been all too easy to say pick Walk Like An Egyptian
as Egypt is in the news so I decided to go a different route. It's good for a chuckle.
A German dentist is dressing to drill by ordering low-cut dresses for herself and her nurses to distract patients as she works on their teeth. Now, if this catches on here in the States, I will gladly give up my Navy Dental plan for this.
So she ordered for herself and her 10 staff similar frilled blouses in the same style with low cut cleavages and tight bodices that work like a push-up bra.Dr Klarkowski, 41, said: "The most important thing for us is to take away the patients' fear. The sight of cleavages gets patients narcotised and distracted from the pain rather quickly."
I think this could help a great many businesses. Hell, it would make the DMV visit almost worth it.
This is for you papa logprof editor. This might come in handy for your new addition to the family!
Three Products Every Bachelor Has That Double As Cleaning Products. I had no idea Coke was this good at cleaning.
Here's how Hitler might've responded upon hearing of Olberdouche's firing.
I am so going to a Russian Wedding after seeing this video.
Since we talked about beer last night, how about seeing what you've had on this list. The 10 Manliest Alcoholic Drinks Of All-Time. I'm going to say right now I don't think I'll ever even get half of these. Nope. Not gonna do it.
Ah, it's always fun to watch the news cover a touchy subject. Behold the power of the MSM.
Alright, time for tonight's pop quiz. Tonight's quiz wonders How Sarcastic Are You? So do you have the snark or not?
Ok China, what's up with this!? China Used Top Gun Footage In Broadcast On Real Air Force Exercise. Seriously, you have to resort to Top Gun footage to show off your new J-10 fighter? Wow. There wasn't even anything remotely like the J-10 in Top Gun. This will not help the J-20 looks like Firefox stuff you know.
Alright, name this classic actress.
Heh. A reimagination of the song Africa by Toto to go with this video montage of carnage from Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
Ah kids say the darndest things. Ironic too.
Holy goat! Forget ninja's, these Himalayan Goats are badass!
OK, OK. Here's your Caturday submission. Jeez.
I'll end this ONT tonight with this bit of a motivational clip. Although, I have to admit, I laughed in some parts. Goodnight fellow morons, I gotta get back to work.
Tonight's ONT brought to you by:

Watching Nigella whip frothy egg whites is a thing of beauty. Her shimmering hooters also contribute to the English schoolmarm idea and when viewed with her licking the spoon technique, it's a setup for a purple veined high hard one.

It listed some of the insurance they accepted, but it didn't mention method of payment for the rest. The local magazine is for the particular district (within the suburb), and it covers the various specialties and stores in the area. A majority of the ads are for cosmetic surgery, so this one was memorable because it was particularly outrageous.

God, the idiots on Geraldo are nattering on and on about the democratic demonstrations in Egypt.
If I saw women in Egypt burning their hijabs and protesting for a desire to go back to the sort of freedom they had in the 1950s(!), I'd buy that these are secular lovers of freedom.
Those photos that have been circulating of the massively increasing percentage of hijab'ed women at Cairo University from the 1950s to today show that Egypt is on a de-evolutionary slide as far as a desire for freedom goes. They are far less secular than the Persians were when they welcomed the Ayatollah with open arms.
This will not end well.

I share your worry. I know that there are many sincere people protesting. And I know the Muslim Brotherhood is working behind the scenes.
The naivete (or outright duplicity) of so many in the press and in the administration simply horrifies me. And I notice the administration line is being fed into the media:
1. Mubarak has to go
2. Elbaradei is a moderate
3. Encourage the protesters
I just do not believe that a guy who ignored Iran and worked against the Hondurans is all that concerned with the people of Egypt. Neither is the press.

Katya, if you like Lee Marvin, may I recommend Cat Ballou? Yes, Jane Fonda is in it, but it's one of the funniest movies ever. Lee won an Oscar for his double role. If you haven't seen it, check it out.

Classically trained actors (Max Von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, Topol, and Brian Freaking Blessed) hamming it up! Amazingly cheesy sets and colorful wardrobes! A pillow fight between Dale Arden and Princess Aura! No dark gritty reboot, just constant fun. They just don't make them like that anymore.

True. But I don't think the dirt has anything to do with it. Arabs move to action like this only when they think they are winning. It's the idea that others are succeeding that will get more into the streets. The minute they start to worry that it will be harder than they thought, these street riots will stop on a dime. Images of Egyptian crowds being able to run amok is what will spur others. Tales of arab depravation don't move them at all.
At least that's what I think about it.
Ibn Khaldun spoke about this way back in the 14th century. Arabs will only attack flat land.

But when asked why more people didn't do anything, they shrugged and said it was because they expected corruption and it was too much trouble. Never prevented them from ranting about it, though.

Modern drills are not all that bad, but it helps to have a dentist who can work quickly and smoothly. And, of course, one that doesn't freak out -- I had one guy fill a cavity and afterwards it looked like he'd been drilled.

No. Prior to seeing The King's Speech, they showed a preview for Jane Eyre (2011). The book has been adapted a number of times and everyone has a different focus, and this one was definitely concentrating on the darkness of Jane's childhood and eerie mood at Thornfield Hall. But the colors and overall atmosphere were a bit more like the vampire and supernatural forces movies than the usual rainy, muddy, and mysterious atmosphere of most other adaptions. Could be a good adaption, though.

Sears has done a good job of alienating customers, and one of the main reasons was restructuring of its managment over the past 20 years. It used to take years for someone to rise to the level of store manager, working at many of the tasks in a store, long company loyalty, belief in the brand. Like my former brother in law's Dad, who worked for Sears for a lifetime, became manager of a major store in Louisville, then they booted him out the door. The did this all over in the name of "modernization" and completely ruined loyalty and employee morale. Most of their employees don't give a shit now.

A section of the memoir will detail his little-known but scandalous relationship with Isabel Van Kleek Lyon, who became his secretary after the death of his wife Olivia in 1904. Twain was so close to Lyon that she once bought him an electric vibrating sex toy.

"There is a perception that Twain spent his final years basking in the adoration of fans. The autobiography will perhaps show that it wasn't such a happy time. He spent six months of the last year of his life writing a manuscript full of vitriol, saying things that he'd never said about anyone in print before. It really is 400 pages of bile."

Use everything to your advantage, jeff. Pay attention to all the clues. Women are constantly giving clues as to what they want and need. They think men can pick up on this, but most of us can't. If they ask for it, it doesn't mean as much for some reason...
So here are some truths for you. They will help you pick up one in about twenty hints they are laying down.
ALL women are self conscious.
ALL women want attention.
ALL women like to be listened to.
ALL women love to be treated like a lady (right up until they want to be treated like a whore).
Be clean, polite, friendly and attentive to a ladies needs. No matter how awkward it feels in modern society, women appreciate chivalry. Open doors, help her on and off with her coat, pull out her chair. (It helps your cause and it makes all the other guys look like selfish prigs)
Never touch a woman before she touches you.
Make her feel special and make her laugh.
She doesn't really care about your appearance as much as you do. Espescially if you can be yourself and disarm her with your charms.

No way. Not even Olmert would have been stupid enough to offer such a thing.
But this is how things are going to go. You're going to hear a lot about "collaborators with Israel", such as with the new VP. All the military and foreign service had to work with Israel, so this is fertile ground.

Shakespeare can be a hard slog to get through, but you gotta do it. There are so many references to Shakespeare in the popular vernacular that knowing the stories is required.
Chemjeff is right: read Huck Finn just to spite the PC crowd. "Tis far nobler to suffer the slings and arrows...."*
Although it's a daunting read (over 1100 pages), you should read Atlas Shrugged before it's banned.

For modern readers, Shakespeare grinds to a halt when trying to wade through the odd spellings and vocabulary....but much of the problem goes away when you hear it. Try watching a vid of a section you're about to read, then see if reading the section clicks a little better.
Once you start getting into it, the Shakespeare canon really is a constellation of bright stars in the field of English literature.

In a tragedy, you have a protagonist who you're supposed to cheer for, and an antagonist who you hope loses. They struggle. The protagonist shows overweening pride (hubris) and is dishonored/disgraced. Protagonist fails, and either the status quo or the antagonist prevails. Typically ends in death.
Even though it's been decades and I've probably garbled the message thoroughly, it still predicts 90% of what you'll see in a theatrical production.

One of the reasons I like him is because he retains the original words and intent (mostly) but is able to express the content in a contemporary way. He's still a bit of a ham, but the surrounding cast helps whenever he crosses that line. Can't say the same RE the histrionics in some of the live performances I've seen. The worst was definitely Shakespeare in the Park up in Tulsa, where they performed Midsummer's Night Dream.

@SIM
Whatever technology we have, the Chinese will be 2.5 steps behind for the foreseeable future. The Chinese are good at solving some technical issues that we don't in designs (for anything), but they are really piss-poor at taking any project from concept to completion. I have visited a couple of the top technical universities, and the designs that they put out are equivalent to US HS students.
The Chinese have a hardcore military element bent on passing the US, but they realistically pose no threat 1) by choice and 2) because they are so far behind. I am more concerned about internal stability issues, as are they. For that reason, little news of Egypt has gotten out here.

I saw The Tempest at the Royal Shakespeare when I was 15 (from the nosebleed seats). That's when the "hear it/stare crosseyed at it" dichotomy became clear to me. Since then, that play has been one of my favorites ("oh, brave new world....").

Some of the best 30s and 40s comedies actually start with the couple married, and then some misunderstanding leads them to separate, but then they get back together at the end. I like that set-up much more than the meet-cute romcoms, the post-marriage ones are more mature and realistic, it makes much more sense to have great chemistry and banter and true love with someone you've been married to than with some stranger you've just met.
See: The Awful Truth, My Favorite Wife, His Girl Friday, The Philadelphia Story, and maybe even a few not involving Cary Grant!

I'm still mad at Branagh for cutting a lot out of probably my very favorite Shakespeare scene, when Henry V proposes to Catherine.

I just started watching the first season. It's like the X-Files, which I didn't know when I started watching it. Basically crazy (usually gross) sci-fi crap goes on, must be solved by end of show, but there is a much larger conspiracy blah blah blah. Better written than 90% of the crap on TV, and that just ain't saying very much. Lead character is seriously boinkable.

Good Morning all.
LOL, that story reminds me of the "good old days" on the Enterprise. Once upon a time it come down from on high that we needed to clean and repaint the engine room bilges. Since at that time it was also holy writ from Rickover that all engine room watch standers would be E-5 and above this would mean that we would have E-5s and above cleaning bilges.
I didn't think that was an equitable solution so I sent a crewman to the Master at Arms to get some brig rats who would welcome the chance to clean bilges and be able to smoke and joke.
We were informed by the Master At Arms that they could no longer send out brig rats to clean bilges as that was considered cruel punishment. So instead we had to have E-5s and E-6s cleaning bilges.

I'm sure that sailors are the same as Marines in the respect that only shitbirds (lazy deadbeats and malingerers) are given dirty jobs like cleaning the bilges or cleaning the heads. Never heard of a Marine sergeant who was ever assigned such tasks, 'cause in the Marine Corps, shitbirds don't rise above Pfc's. (And I suspect that they don't in the navy either, which causes me to be skeptical that that blowhard, sea lawyer and bullshit artist, Vic, ever got above E-2 all while he was in the navy.)
Again, Vic opens his mouth and inserts his foot, inadvertently giving more insights into how chiefs regarded his bloviating as a malcontent and as a sea lawyer. Betcha the navy sighed with relief when they got rid of him. Marines would have had so much fun with him.

Today was the exception. Usually I don't bother to get in anyone's face until they pick a fight with me. Read instances of when I've heckled you batty, reactionary dimwits. In every instance, except for today, you will see that I have simply responded appropriately to fools who have first attacked me for innocuous comments which I have made; a pack of jackals mentality that has come back to bite them in their asses.
I've got to say, though, that even when it gets to be 4 or 5 against 1, it still isn't a fair fight. I imagine that it's kind of like rolling drunks or like taking candy from a baby, because all of you batty, reactionary dimwits are that lame.

For the sake of stability in the Middle East, I hope that Mubarak, Sulieman and their military crack down on those communist dissidents and restore order within 48 hours.
Democracy for those poor people is a pipe dream. If Mubarak is ousted, the vacuum will surely be filled either by well organized Progressives (aka Communists) or by well organized Islamic funnymentalists, and we'll have the same situation in Egypt that we had in Iran.
The Obama Administration and their progressive shills in the MSM would love to see that region destabilized, so that they can advance their greenie, Communist agenda. That's why they're touting this call for "Democracy" bullshit, knowing damned well that it will never happen, and that Democracy will be usurped by radicalism. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Al Jazeera in Egypt shut down by Mubarak's security forces (not the police nor the army, so wonder if this really amounts to VP Suleiman's* intelligence operatives), and subsequent confiscation of all cameras, computers, phones and media equipment from Al Jazeera staff and offices. Live blog 30/1 - Egypt protests published the photo of a woman (not related to the German dentist) holding a poster illustrating a man (to a typical American viewer, it looks like Obama in golf attire) shouting "Freedom" while waving the Egyptian flag behind overhead, as if to shout or blow down the first in a string of armed-police dominoes.

*Suleiman's unsubstantiated graduation from a Kennedy named US school of foreign affairs made him the toast of an ill informed US radio broadcast last night, as if "our man" to be trusted as if Suleiman = JFK. But online, there's no reference to Suleiman's formal studies beyond his impressive Egyptian and prestigious Moscow Soviet MILITARY training; and then, following his participation in both Muslim Wars against Israel, his degrees earned in political science @ Ain Shams University in Cairo and @ Cairo University, where he earned undergraduate and master's degrees. His fluency in English enabled his career in Egyptian government dealing with the US.
EarthTimes Profile: Omar Suleiman has been head of Egypt's powerful and feared national intelligence agency since 1993, holding the unassuming title of minister without portfolio. He is credited with having broken up Islamist terrorist cells in the country. He has also distinguished himself as a mediator in the region, most notably in trying to settle rivalries between the main Palestinian factions, Fatah and Hamas, and to secure a prisoner exchange deal with Israel for captured soldier Gilad Shalit.
Al Jazeera Profile:
The attack was blamed on members of the al-Qaeda-linked Egyptian Islamic Jihad, also known as the Society of Struggle, and said to be co-ordinated by Showqi al-Islambouli, a member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, whose brother, Khalid Ahmed Showqi al-Islambouli, arranged and carried out the assassination of Mubarak's predecessor, Anwar Sadat, during a military parade in October 1981. The Egyptian secret service regularly rounds up and arrests Muslim activists. [Suleiman is directly connected with the CIA-rendition program --wiki.]
Suleiman was born in Qena, in the south of Egypt. He left for Cairo at the age of 19 to enroll in Egypt's military academy and went on to receive advanced military training in Russia in the former Soviet Union at Moscow's Frunze Military Academy. [He took part in in both the 1967 and 1973 Middle East wars before furthering studies in political science in Cairo @ Ain Shams University and @ Cairo University, he earned undergraduate and master's degrees.]
Wikipedia Profile: (Born 1936) Suleiman became the director of military intelligence in 1991. In 1993, he became the chief of Egyptian Intelligence. In 1995, it is said that he insisted that President Mubarak ride in an armored car during a visit to Ethiopia. An would-be assassin fired on the vehicle, but Mubarak escaped without injury due to the added precautions. His name has become known only in recent years, breaking the tradition of keeping the name of the Egyptian head of Intelligence a secret known only to top government officials. It was released in the media around 2000. ...he preferred suits to military uniforms and is seen as a major link between Egyptian political and military elites. In his role as Director of EGID, the British Daily Telegraph dubbed him as "one of the world's most powerful spy chiefs". Foreign Policy magazine ranked him the Middle East's most powerful intelligence chief, ahead of Mossad chief Meir Dagan.
