Howdy morons! Hope y'all had a nice Thanksgiving. I'm fighting through a multiple turkey sandwich induced coma to bring you the ONT tonight so bear with me here.
Well the Red Dawn remake has finally hit theaters and is on track to pull in $20M by Sunday (cost $65M to make). I don't think I'll be seeing it, especially since they changed the bad guys to the Norks. May as well have been Smurfs. Although in real life, apparently the Norks are going to try to live up to their Red Dawn remake cred by trying to have a successful long range ballistic missile test.
Well, a few days ago anyway. From Maggie's Farm.
While we're on the topic of genitalia, here's the Top Ways We Injure Our Genitals based on ER data.
1. Bicycles (1,212)
2. Razors, scissors and clippers (1,089)
3. Zippers (951)
4. Bathroom falls and mishaps (81
5. Basketball (309)
6. Baseball and softball (240)
7. Skiing and snowboarding (182)
Damn zippers are claiming quite a few victims. Obviously some people just didn't learn from There's Something About Mary. I wonder if rochambeau was 8th? Here are some of the details on some of those ER visits.

Short review:
"Goldberg. Rube Goldberg."
Slightly longer review:
If you ever thought, "Hey, Khan would have made a great Bond villain", have I got the movie for you.
Longer review:
Visually arresting film; great use of color and light. Well-written but poorly plotted. Loved the use of a central theme with supporting recurrent motifs, but too many scenes seemed a result of, "Hey, this would be really cool. How do we get there?" Simply put, the movie doesn't constantly strain credulity, it picks it up over its head and smashes its back over its knees. I'm not talking about "C'mon, nobody could take a beating like that", I'm talking about things like elaborate traps being sprung in locations that the characters have just arrived at randomly. Which brings us to the villain...
Javier Bardem made this film. He's a stunning actor. Like all of the classic Bond villains, he has an obsession that gives him power (in this case, by Coupon Companion">computer hacking), and we've got the requisite scene of him passionately monologuing about it to Bond. And he uses that power to spin his evil plot, but in a way that would have depended upon him knowing random events in advance. Worse yet, the culmination of his plot involves him not using any computer cleverness whatsoever but doing something he could have easily accomplished in a darkened doorway with a gun. Hence, Rube Goldberg. It bordered on comical.
Still, I loved it, simply because it was a Happy 50th party to Bond. With by Coupon Companion">Casino Royale, the owners of the franchise deliberately made Daniel Craig's Bond a very different animal, and turned their backs on the tropes of by Coupon Companion">Bonds past to make a fresh start (remember his answer to "Shaken, or stirred"? A defiant, "Do I look like I give a damn?"). It was a good move, but with Craig's third outing, they made the equally canny decision to bring him back home. I won't spoil anything, but they enthusiastically bring back a few things old Bond fans know and love, with an ending that brings him full circle.
So, as a visual treat, it's great. As a film, it's got too many plot holes to keep you in a willing suspension of disbelief. But as cultural comfort food, it's satisfying as hell.

I read the story in the NY Slime. Three TD in 52 seconds scored against the Jets. Only three time have three TD's been scored in less than a minute.
The record. 48 seconds. And who's fucking team do you think that would be?
The fucking Panthers in the 4th Quarter to lose to Atlanta.

One of the things I am most thankful for this year is my cheap-assed brand new direct-from-China Ainol Novo 7 Fire Android tablet.
(the Chinese probably don't appreciate how "Ainol Fire" sounds to American ears when it is said out loud)
If you are thinking about getting yourself or a loved one a cheap Chinese Android tablet you should consider this inexpensive ($160) yet surprising high quality little marvel. It's designed and built for he domestic Chinese market; but uses high quality components & competes with the Kindle Fire HD, Google Nexus 7, iPad mini, and others inthe 7" class of tablets.
The Novo 7 Fire is a 7 inch Google certified tablet that is arguably as good spec-wise as the Google Nexus 7 and a fraction of the price. You can find many comparison and demo videos of it on YouTube.
I bought mine on a lark from an outfit called McBub in the heart of the ChiCom electronics manufacturing district for $159.99. I added an HDMI out cable and it was shipped by DHL and showed up on my doorstep a couple of weeks after I ordered it.
It works great - especially at playing hi-def video (720p 1080p) and as a Kindle substitute. I hooked mine up with the HDMI cable to TVs in many hotels - it works great. (As many of you know, a guy gets lonely on deployments and it's always nice having a high-res portable library of hand selected video content with you!). It can also take a 32 GB micro SD card. That's a lot of episodes of Longmire or Back Room Casting Couch. With an "on-the-go" USB host cable you can also connect a thumb drive of pretty much any size.
http://tinyurl.com/AinolNovo7Fire
Anyway, if you are in the market for a cheap Chinese tablet you should consider this one. And no, McBub and Ainol are not kicking anything back to me; I am just impressed with my latest toy and I want to share it with the Moron 'verse.
Happy Thanksgiving +1.
Stay turgid, morons.

Many men do not know ED is a possible side-effect of lots of bicycle riding, depending on the seat you use.
Cycling and Erectile Dysfunction
So how can bicycling lead erectile dysfunction? Prolonged pressure on the tissues of the perineum (the area of the groin between the penis and anus) can damage blood vessels and nerves responsible for an erection, and spending excessive amounts of time in the same position on the saddle may cause temporary erectile dysfunction. This damage may become permanent if the tissues are continually damaged and not allowed to recover.

I used to cycle very seriously (it's a great exercise).
One of my cycling partners bought a new saddle, and half way through a 20 mile ride she told me she had to stop.

Trouble is with a lot of Crichton's stuff, is that the books don't lend themselves to movie format easily. Even the more streamlined stories are quite complicated, with lots of different things and characters going on. It seems to me that a a fair chunk of what makes his stuff such engrossing page turners, is how he gets you to engage your imagination and almost tell the story to yourself. In a roundabout way. It's not that his stories CAN'T be adapted, but studios just don't put anyone up to the challenge on them. Crichton's books need a real mater screenplay writer. They always put journeymen on them, or the director fucks around with the story too much to make what he wants out of it.

"State of Fear"
"Timeline"
"Airframe"
"Rising Sun"
"Prey"
"The Lost World" (which the movie "Jurassic Park" seems to be based)
"Pirate Latitudes"
"The Andromeda Strain"
"The Eaters of the Dead"

Posted by: Al at November 23, 2012 11:23 PM
"Andromeda Strain" is a fantastic book. Classic. "Prey", "Timeline" and "Next" were weird, in that they had no right to be engrossing, yet they were. "Congo" and "Sphere" were both very good tales and concepts. "Terminal Man" is the only one I couldn't finish.
"The Lost World" is Crichton's best IMO, one of the greatest adventure yarns (with a scifi base to boot) written. Spielberg really fucked that one up. "Jurassic Park" was the precursor to TLW, which Spielberg did reasonabvly well, all things considered. Though a lot of stuff changed from the book. "The Lost World" had almost nothing from the book, apart from a handful of scenes.

Boxer Hector 'Macho' Camacho is about to be removed from life support, sez his mom. He's already been declared brain dead. He brought fists to a gunfight.
He got arrested and spent some time in our county pokey several years back for burglary and pills. It seems he got pissed at a computer repair shop for overcharging, so he broke in to the store next door and climbed into the repair shop to steal his stuff back.
When the cops went to arrest him at his hotel, the other problem arose. He arranged for his probation to be served in Puerto Rico. It pays to have good lawyers in a situation like this.

The thing is, I don't really need much of anything. I have my essentials covered, so anything I buy will fall into either 'gift' or impulse buy.
Shopping is easy for me as I buy the parents a nice dinner out, the son a caron of smokes and a fifth of Val-U-Rite, the daughter cash since shes just getting out of nursing school and could use some cash float.
My best friend will get a bottle of single malt.

The song Wir Zwei Allein, a ballad he shares with German pop diva Gwen, has the same vocal qualities as a bunch of special needs children on a roller coaster.
With a flair for showmanship and two enormous pecs as his backup men, David Haltertosh shines withall the glory and dazzle that he can bring to the world of song. He rears his golden head back and vomits out the most eternally mindblowing baritone voice you have ever heard, a voice that sort of sounds like an ox stepping on a railroad spike.

Not one track overlaps the other, and very rarely does the sound of David Harfertrank's vocals resemble a rhinoceros getting sideswiped by a dune buggy.
But after witnessing David Hasselhoff throat out these 18 songs at a concert he held for flood victims in Switzerland with a voice that can be compared to a hippo stuck in a rusty beartrap, I do believe that a Hell exists.

Heinlein, "SiaSL":
"He fed and sheltered two strangers overnight but his conduct shows that he knew them to be V.I.P.s whether or not he knew they were angels-and by the Koran and by my own lights, his hospitality would have counted for more if he had thought they were just a couple of unworthy poor in need of a pad and a handout. Aside from these insignificant items and Saint Peter’s character reference, there is just one thing that Lot did mentioned anywhere in the Bible on which we can judge his virtue-virtue so great, mind you, that heavenly intercession saved his life. See chapter nineteen of Genesis, verse eight.“
„And what does it say?“
„Look it up when we get home. I don’t expect you to believe me.“
„Jubal! You’re the most infuriating man I’ve ever met.“
„And you’re a very pretty girl and a fair cook, so I don’t mind your ignorance.
All right, I’ll tell you-then you look it up anyhow. Some of Lot’s neighbors came and beat on his door and wanted to meet these two blokes from out of town. Lot didn’t fight with them; he offered ‚em a deal instead. He had two young daughters, virgins-at least, such was his opinion-and he told this crowd of men that he would give them these two little girls and they could use them any way they liked-a gang shagging, a midnight revue, he pleaded with them to do any damn thing they pleased to his daughters . . - only please go ‚way and quit beating on his door.“
„Jubal ... does it really say that?“
„Look it up yourself. I’ve modernized the language but the meaning is as unmistakable as a whore’s wink. Lot offered to let a gang of men- ‚young and old,’ the Bible say&-abuse two young virgins under his protection if only they wouldn’t break down his door. Say!“ Jubal leaned forward and beamed.
„Maybe I should have tried that when the S.S. was breaking my door down! Maybe it would have got me into heaven-and Saint Peter knows my chances aren’t too good otherwise.“ Then he frowned and looked worried. „No, it wouldn’t have worked. The recipe plainly calls for ‚virgins intactae’-and I wouldn’t have known which two of you gals to offer those troopers.“
„Hmmph/ You won’t find out from me.“
„Possibly I couldn’t find out from any of you. Even Lot might have been mistaken. But that’s what he promised ‚em-his virgin daughters, young and tender and scared-urged this street gang to rape them as much as they wished in any way they liked - . . if only they would leave him in peace?“ Jubal snorted in disgust. „And the Bible cites this sort of scum as being a righteous man.“

I almost wonder if someone could do that for The Scientology Movie. Almost.
It wouldn't be worth *remaking* it into a good movie, that's just silly. But with some re-dialogue and cutting and cut scenes you might be able to make a Twelve Monkeys out of it.

But the bad parts are what makes it worthwhile. I'm not sure it could be worked into something seriously good. It's one of the greatest unintentional comedies ever made. It's Plan 9 From outer Space bad, but with a huge budget and production values. Win-win!

Mero, what I mean is, you'd have to start from scratch with a different screenplay adaptation. The overall concept is not really a bad one, but a lot of the story details are dodgy as hell. I'm glad they went the way they did with it, because if it wasn't so over the top, it would've been just boring and preposterous, rather than head explodingly bad.

I much appreciate the offer, but as others have indicated, evidence must be offered to moron nation generally. Stupid rules anyway.
That rendition of the story of Lot was utter bullshit. Lot was protecting his guests, who most people recognize as angels
I wonder if he wasn't mocking the crowd. I mean the name of Sodom was forever tied to homosexual activity because that was God's problem with the city, unless I've missed something.

It's two characters speaking in a novel. What interested me about it was the parallel to Benghazi, not its faithfulness to the Bible. Did Obama tell Al-Qaeda that he would give them Chris Stevens and Sean Smith just for a bit of peace and quiet? Or was there more? What "guests" were present?

It gets worse when you consider the rumor that Ambassador Stevens was still barely alive when pulled from the smoke and took a rebar up the ass from the mob before dying -- while drones relayed every moment to the Situation Room of the White House. Compare that to Bill Whittle's version here -- http://blip.tv/davidhorowitztv/bill-whittle-6444929 -- and see why Jubal's dismissive "[a]nd the Bible cites this sort of scum as being a righteous man" comes to mind.

@475 - Re: Sodom
That's what it's remembered for these days, but various less authoritative sources (i.e. old books that aren't in the Bible) also often hint at extremely high levels of greed and covetousness on the part of the inhabitants.
At the very least, the locals were threatening to rape (and no doubt rob and murder) the guests of a very well-connected resident of the city (Abraham had single-handedly saved the city some years before without accepting anything in return pretty much just because Lot needed saving at the time), which doesn't speak well of their attitude toward others. That fits with a tendency to want whatever belongs to anyone and everyone who came through...
... and would explain why God sent fire down from heaven to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, but has allowed San Francisco to remain standing.
(I kid! San Fran still has a decent-sized population of good people still living there, though you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise due to the image that many of the locals project to the outside world...)

First, you get the pix on the web. You can use any service, but I've successfully used http://imageshack.us/ -- you're taking a filename on your computer and transferring it to a web address on a server.
Then you go to the web link to the pix and grab its URL. You can take that to www.tinyurl.com and make it small enough for Pixy's hamsters to run with.
Then you can paste that tinyurl in your comment.

Agreed. I shared DAve's misinterpretation of the direction you were thinking with the Lot comment.
I'm still having trouble making sense of what Obama was thinking in all this. Whether or not there was some negotiation with Al Qaeda, if his orders, or lack thereof, had been followed, we'd be looking at over 40 dead. How could he think that wasn't going to get noticed by someone (And I don't mean the half of the country that gives him a pass for having that (D) after his name)?

everything that isn't impossible or actually happening right now has a probability between zero and one. one probability I keep discounting on mere faith is maybe he just hates us all and wants to see us punished or destroyed.
another probability I keep discounting is he does whatever his saudi masters tell him to do.
the probability I keep thinking must be closest to one is he is just a fucking dumbass.

There's just Shit We Don't Know about that situation.
Everything makes sense if you know enough, we just often never find out they details.
Whether it turns out to be the MANPADS to Syria thing, or the Secret Prisons thing, or something else. Hopefully we will find out.
The worst part is knowing the MFM are complicit in a wide range of cover-ups. Paranoia is only a neurosis when you aren't surrounded by people conspiring against you.
On the upside, I think I've figured out why aliens haven't openly contacted us lately. I mean, would you?
I used to be such an optimist.

Here's yet another thing that I don't like. Romney alludes to this in Debate #2, which is about something or another, then doesn't say a goddamned thing in Debate #3, FOREIGN POLICY. WTF? WTFF?? I can't imagine that it suddenly seemed like a good idea -- that would be too much a Spock-with-goatee world. So did they tell him "here's the truth, but if you mention it we'll have to kill you" or what?

I don't think there's any chance at all that the Obama regime fully informed Romney of what went down in Benghazi.
Posted by: Methos at November 24, 2012 01:25 AM (hO9ad)
I wonder if Barry does any thinking on such matters. Or, any matters other than what he knows as a choomunity organiser. Barry strikes mje as the sort of lazy, feckless fuck that hands everything off to whatever fellow dipshit is in his bong circle. I reckon even if something close to his heart was on the cards, like storming a metaphorical winter palace, he'd wind up saying "Screw it. I'll do it tomorrow."

So, why did Romney bring it up tangentially in a non-"foreign policy" debate, but drop it altogether in a subsequent "foreign policy" debate? I don't think he was "fully informed" either, but what sort of information did he get?

I'll always wonder why Romney never went after Zero on Benghazi.....
Posted by: Damn Sockpuppet at November 24, 2012 01:43 AM (yJYwC)
At a guess, I would go with the same reason he commented at the beginning of the affair and then went silent. He wussed out, which is entirely in keeping with his campaign theme of "it's okay to like Obama, but maybe let's try something else."
Posted by: Methos at November 24, 2012 01:44 AM (hO9ad)
#499: Because the MFM HAMMERED him on it - unfairly - and for the low information voters, that's all they can hear. And they vote based on what they hear - and their lady parts, apparently.

Here's the thing. The Administration gives him security briefings; Romney has to weigh political fallout. The briefings could be detailed, omit important facts, or be outright fabrications. Benghazi stinks on ice to the casual observer. What could they possibly tell Romney that would make him think there was some meat available at the 2nd Debate and that he should drop it at the 3rd?
That there's a big nothingburger there? Really? A nothingburger in four caskets?
That, like Iwo Jima, there was an important goal worth the lives of four patriots? That somehow we can't be aware of 70 days afterwards?
That the Press can hound the campaign? About an obvious failure of nerve or execution by the Administration?
Because Romney wanted to play nice with Obama? Is that a normal reaction to leaving forty people to die?
Again, we don't know much.....but what we do know doesn't plausibly fit with observed behavior. Something is wildly out-of-kilter.
