I've never been a big supporter of boycotts - mostly because they tend to devolve into a laundry list of companies that you're supposed to shun over trivial 3-degrees-of-separation sins.
But in this case HBO is one company I'm willing to make an exception for. They've crossed enough lines and shown themselves to be such a partisan network of active anti-conservative hate that I'm willing to burn a few calories to see them suffer.
Here are just a few of their more recent insults...
They hushed up Alexandra Pelosi's video on welfare queens since it goes against The Narrative:
Alexandra Pelosi debuted a video she made for HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" last night. The video shows multiple welfare recipients in New York City proclaiming they were at the welfare office to get their "Obama bucks" and that they supported Obama because he "gives me stuff." Pelosi reported that people at the HBO headquarters in New York had said to her "you can't show this" even though just last week the ran a controversial video showing Mississippi voters saying inflammatory things against the president.
They produced and hyped the movie, "Game Change", and went so far as to make up details just so they could get in a few more kicks to Sarah Palin years after she last ran for office:
And then there's the fact that they continue to have this hateful, dwarf of a man as their premier 'comedian' while tut-tuting over something Rush said:
Okay we get it HBO - you hate conservatives and want to broadcast Democratic propaganda. That's your right - but then don't be surprised when you start reaping all the hate you've sown.
But this time it's the good kind of moron - our own Wyatt Earp has co-written a murder mystery book set in where else but Philly. You can check it out (and buy it) here and here. And since Wyatt will soon be rolling in the lucrative self-publishing $$$, now's probably the time to start sucking up to him.
I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable.- Jules Verne, 1874
What Would Happen If Washington DC Got Nuked?
Well DHS and FEMA have made a report detailing the likely consequences which you can read here.
Unfortunately, our instincts can be our own worst enemy. The bright flash of detonation would be seen instantaneously throughout the region and may cause people to approach windows to see what is happening just as a blast wave breaks the window. For a 10-kT detonation, glass can be broken with enough force to cause injury out to 3 miles and can take more than 10 seconds to reach this range.
Another urge to overcome is the desire to flee the area (or worse, run into fallout areas to reunite with family members), which can place people outdoors in the first few minutes and hours when fallout exposures are the greatest. Those outside or in vehicles will have little protection from the penetrating radiation coming off fallout particles as they accumulate on roofs and the ground. .For those in good shelters, such as a large concrete, brick, or underground structure, optimal shelter times will likely be in terms of days.
5 Ridiculous Cold War Myths You Learned in History Class
Well I would argue with the author's idea that the US started the arms race out of nowhere - there's a lot more to the strategic balance of power than just nukes vs. nukes.
But it is true that JFK didn't call himself a jelly doughnut in Berlin:
They point out that "Ich bin Berliner" means "I am from Berlin," and that adding the "ein" changes the meaning. Both facts are true. A rough English equivalent of what Kennedy said was "I am a New Yorker," whereas the phrase the pedantic jack offs claim he should have said translates to "I am from New York." The jelly doughnut myth is like claiming that an audience in Manhattan heard a politician say "I am a New Yorker" and took him to mean "I am a New Yorker magazine." Saying "I am a New Yorker" makes more sense as a symbolic statement of solidarity, and it's the same in German. Which is why people who speak German generally compliment Kennedy's choice as being the more nuanced, conversational phrasing.
Priest Denies Lesbian Woman Communion at Her Mother's Funeral
And Michael Rosenwald at the WaPo is outraged:
"He put his hand over the body of Christ and looked at me and said, 'I can't give you Communion because you live with a woman, and in the eyes of the church, that is a sin,' " Barbara Johnson told my colleague Michelle Boorstein in a gripping story
But Don Surber has the rest of the story. And needless to say the arrogance is all on Johnson's side.
Would You Buy an OS From This Guy?
Well apparently you did which is one of the reasons he's now CEO of Microsoft.
If Mad Max Needed A Pickup Truck
This is what he would drive - a 1974 Ford Falcon XB Ute which is the pickup version of Max's Police Interceptor.
He's come a long way from "F*ck the Police" since he now plays a police captain in the 21 Jump Street reboot. It's tough staying an angry G decade after decade.
A little late for St. Patrick's Day but oh well. Note that the authors seem to be using a very loose definition of 'Irish' here.

And don't forget about the Job Bank.

"Is the Epicopalian version a lot different than the Catholic one? This non-church goer has no clue."
No transubstantiation, and the Episcopalians are not (these days) anywhere near as militant about the whole not admitting to the sacrament those who are in an open state of sin or outside the faith.

I'd heard the story of the lesbian woman denied communion, and while it seemed a little harsh, I thought the priest was within his pastoral role.
This new revelation changes everything. God, just when I think progressives can't be more vile, they manage to sink even lower. Using your own mother's funeral to score cheap points against a religion you hate. Disgusting.
Having said that, I'm still waiting for my church to excommunicate Biden, Pelosi, and Sibelius, but they've shown no inclination to do so.

No. I have several novels I've "finished", but never sent out, because...they're not good enough.

Yesterday, over in the Tatler (which had two threads about this), someone claimed that a really high-level Buddhist could also be a Catholic; it would be a high expression of spirituality.
My personal take on that was that, clearly, this is someone who does not care about any faith, and this was purest sophistry.

This. It annoys me everytime I hear some bozo whining about how the church doesn't support this or that. It's a free country, and if you have a problem with the fact that your church doesn't support contraception or gay marriage or whatever, then find a new one, or found a new one. Don't simply expect people to change their beliefs and rituals simply because it currently inconveniences you.

It would be hard to find two religions more distinct then Christianity and Buddhism. One cannot be both.
In the former we are inherently fallen and require divine grace to be redeemed. The latter teaches that we can redeem ourselves through our actions and that if their are powers greater then ourselves they at best can provide examples of correct living.

Over this weekend, neighbor knocks on my door, wants to know if I'm interested in picking up a pair of speakers for $40. Hrm, seems like a decent deal, let's research the model # and figure out what it's really worth. Pioneer CS-905, looks good.
But I don't have a receiver/speaker amp, so he sets me up for a Merantz 2226b for $120. Again, do my research, looks like a decent item.
Got the system set up yesterday, listened to a few songs, felt pretty impressed with the audio quality (able to crank it loud, great clarity vs. my dinky computer speakers; reminded me of my brother's M-Audio studio monitors). Was pretty happy.
Tonight, he offers another set of speakers he has sitting around for $50, and this time I skipped the research step cause I was so happy with the previous items. Agreed, received the items. First thing I do is do a quick internet search to check the pedigree of this set of speakers - "Acoustic Monitor dB IV".
"White Van Speaker". Ruh-roh.
Any thoughts from audio geeks on the items I got? Would like to know what the real value of this stuff is.

Good for you. I remember when I was growing up it was hard when my mother was dating. The key is to keep your personal life separate from your daughter. It's ok to see Hummingbird, but until your daughter wants to meet, don't try and force the issue. No "let's all go to dinner" or "I would like you to try and get to know each other."

The key is that most people aren't willing or capable to go at it alone. They want the security of the community that they've always been a part of. But yes, it's insulting. "It's awful that I have to deny a part of myself!" Of course you do, everyone does. The whole point is that we all are imperfect, and must struggle with these imperfections. It doesn't matter if it's homosexuality, gluttony, adultry, lying, etc. Everyone has their struggle.

Well, it's likely that mom was dating before the ink was dry, or at least your daughter suspects that to be so. It's also likely that mom tried to force the new boyfriend into everyone's life really quickly, which makes it seem like she's replacing you. I think if you want to date, just be honest with your daughter that you are seeing someone, but that you are taking it slow, and that you won't be trying to bring this woman into her life until she's ready.

On the other hand, we did get the NASA channel, and that was pretty awesome because I got to watch the Sojourner probe landing live. It was neat to see the contrast between the Shuttle control center in Houston and the operations room at JPL. NASA Houston looks like the bridge of the Enterprise, if Captain Kirk and everyone else wore short-sleeved button-down cotton-poly blend shirts and clip-on neckties. JPL looks like someone moved a few spare workstations into the grad-student lounge.

I hope I'm wrong.
I agree that this move was really all about getting rid of Tebow in a way that wouldn't piss off all his fans. I hope wherever he ends up he's a big success.
Actually, I don't have to hope. He will be.
Posted by: Genetic Tunder at March 19, 2012 07:59 PM (ig4FA)
First... it's not a trade. Peyton Manning is a free agent.
Second... While Tebow is an entirely likable guy, he isn't nearly as capable. Sure, elway may have an ego, but I imagine he has a real good understanding of what it takes to be a Super Bowl winning QB. Unfortunately, Tebow doesn't have the skill set necessary.

But I can see why anyone would want Peyton Manning, broken neck aside, of course.
Did that dipshit not read about the Bounty Hunters, by the way? Why doesn't he just take his money and retire while he can still walk?

They point out that "Ich bin Berliner" means "I am from Berlin," and that adding the "ein" changes the meaning. Both facts are true. A rough English equivalent of what Kennedy said was "I am a New Yorker," whereas the phrase the pedantic jack offs claim he should have said translates to "I am from New York."
No. This is bullshit. Total bullshit.
A more precise analogy would be Kennedy saying, "I am Danish," as opposed to saying, "I am a Danish."

Granted my kid was a little older, but she was complicit in setting me up with Grim and helped wargame the strategy for the friend who got us in the same place, for how to best get us to accept each other. (since both of us were suffering from spectacular broken hearts and have a miserable time trying to find dates we didnt just HATE.)
So... sometimes the kid is glad youre getting your groove back.

The thing is, it doesn't look like it's working. My Colorado friends who are commenting on this all seem pretty upset. Elway was just way to obvious in his dislike during the season and now is going to have a really hard time selling that this isn't personal.

42 Ok, update should be pretty quick tonight.
I arrived to work this morning driving Frakencar, my new nickname for the beater. I pull into the parking lot, and even though there were several spots closer to the building this morning I parked in the same spot it was in when it got vandalized the last time.
I'm just getting out of the car when a security guard pulls up next to me in a little chevy with a lightbar on top of it, the lights are going. He rolls down his window and gives me a suspicious look.
"Pardon me sir", he says, "Do you work here?
I realized he obviously pegged me as a suspicious looking character thanks to the fact that I was driving such a total piece of crap - the body is red, the doors, hood and trunk are brown - -well, it just looks ridiculous. Of course the only reason the guy is even out here patrolling the parking lot is because the car got vandalized in the first place. I damn near laugh myself silly from the irony.
So I tell him I do work here and show him my security badge. I'm still laughing as I'm walking through the front doors.
My morning begins, I start working a few cases and then I see Wolverine pass by carrying a couple of cardboard boxes. He has the biggest shit eating grin on his face imaginable. He stops by one of the che-bot's cubes, and starts emptying it out and putting everything into a box. A few minutes later and he's doing the same to a second cube, another one of the che-bots.
He stops by my desk on his way out, still grinning from ear to ear.
"Thought Monday was your day off." I said, grinning.
"Nope, not anymore. They gave me a promotion, and I got a schedule change. Working Monday through Friday now, same hours as you."
So we chat for a bit, turns out both the che-bots got fired for sending death threats. With his new schedule Wolverine now goes to lunch at the same time I do, so we make arrangements to meet for lunch in the cafeteria. I was brown bagging it but I had to buy him lunch to celebrate the promotion, so I let him know that I was buying and we'd celebrate.
So the morning goes on without further interruption. Wolverine and I meet for lunch, and of course we get more than a few stares since I'm eating lunch with security on hand. Wolverine has to leave a few minutes early, so he gets up and crosses the cafeteria, Che-boy gets out of his chair to leave and passes by Wolverine, they exchange a few words. They were too far away for me to over hear.
So I head back to my desk, my supervisor and I get a chance to chat a bit and she also confirms that both che-bots were fired for sending the death threats. Seems they actually sent them from terminals at work, so it was a lot easier for IT to prove they were involved. As soon as the paperwork got forwarded to HR, both were terminated immediately.
So I finish work, Wolverine is waiting for me at the security desk, and I ask him what was said in the cafeteria with che-boy.
I guess che-boy is beginning to realize his time is numbered, and it's making him bolder. He stopped Wolverine, and in what Wolverine described as a very whiny and irritating tone of voice asked him, "What, are you here to protect him while he eats lunch?"
Wolverine turned to che-boy and replied, "Sir, I'm afraid your mistaken. I'm not here to protect him from you. I'm here to protect you from him."
I laughed so hard I damn near fell down. So Wolverine and I headed out to the car, and I headed home.

60 "SOS, you just about cleared out all the staff. How many scalps, 6?"
Lol.. well, I haven't been making scratch marks to keep track.. but lets see. The HR Director, Twilight Fan, the night supervisor and 2 che-bots. So 5 I think, unless I'm missing someone. Been a hell of a ride the last couple of weeks.. lol.
Posted by: StuckOnStupid at March 19, 2012 07:58 PM
"Che-boy is still employed?!"
At the moment, yes -- he's got a couple of his bot's left too, but I get the impression he's pretty much done confronting me directly at least.
It's possible he may not have sent any of the death threats himself, or it's possible that he did but was smart enough not to do it from a terminal at work so it's just taking longer to get the proof necessary to fire him.
I must admit though I kind of hope he keeps his job for just a little bit longer at least. I mean I know it's probably wrong to be enjoying this, but I must admit I do rather like watching him squirm, waiting for the other shoe to drop -- lol.

93 "Did Twilight Fan quit? Just never come back? I don't think I ever saw the update for her..."
After my last encounter with her in the lunchroom she didn't call and didn't show up two days in a row, so technically she was fired, but really she quit. She just didn't bother to call them and tell them she quit.
Ya, that really showed em.. lol

113 "A stencil of Che is the obvious choice, a small one like the bomb stencils they used in WWII. One for each scalp."
Lol.. have to see what I can come up with. I'll ask body guy when he's done tinkering around in the shop. From what I understand one of the crew is a really talented artist so maybe he can whip up a stencil or something -- then just use a little spray paint. Lol..
Posted by: StuckOnStupid at March 19, 2012 08:21
117 "No, I take it back. You need to print out that Breitbart Is Here poster and plaster them on Frankencar."
Oh yes, now that I like. Oh.. that reminds me, I need to get that random name generator going for my other project.
Posted by: StuckOnStupid at March 19, 2012 08:22 PM
123 "Stuck, maybe you don't want to get too cute with the "Che" pix. Better Breitbart or even a wolverine."
Ya, I love the Breitbart idea. That would be entirely too cool, I'm guessing I'll have to do stickers of some sort though, that would probably be to involved for a stencil/paint.
That's ok though, I'll ask body guy, I'm sure he knows some folks that can whip something up for me.. and as far as I'm concerned, price will be no object.. lol
Posted by: StuckOnStupid at March 19, 2012 08:25 PM
130 "Hekyl and Jekyl make 7 ... not fired, but doing time."
Well there's almost no chance either of them will do anymore time than the few hours they spent in jail before getting bailed out.
It's almost certain they will plea this out and get probation. Oh, almost forgot, I did call the police today on the second wave of vandalism -- they said they had some leads that they would be "pursuing".
Funny, it sounded a lot like "fuck off" -- may have just been a bad connection.. lol.

For a team with no offensive line or receivers to speak of, Tebow is ideal. A big guy who can run the ball in a pinch, and is great at inspiring his teammates to do better... he's perfect for the Broncos in their current state.
As long as the defense can keep it close, he'll find a way to win. This inspires the defense to dig a little deeper and pull off the big stops to keep it close so Tebow can win it in the end.
I'm afraid that Manning will end up being a slightly better but even more fragile Kyle Orton as it stands right now.

It's been my belief that the Denver Broncos have been doing everything to fuck themselves sideways since about the time they decided that their new stadium needed to be named "Invesco Field at Mile High" The fact that piece of idiocy probably directly led to Hickenlooper first being elected Mayor of Denver and now Governor of Colorado should lead to hot coals being shoveled onto the heads of everyone involved in the Broncos organization. Couple that with the firing of the coach a few years ago, the tolerance for Jay Cutler's seriously bad behavior for way too long, not to mention the propensity for their players to be in the "wrong place" at the "wrong time" and I'd say the Broncos karma is screwed for the long haul.

Ok well according to most information out there his neck is fully healed, and is not an issue anymore than the neck would be for any other player out there. The surgeries were succesful.
The actual concern since probably December has been his throwing arm. He had suffered nerve deterioration in it because of the neck injury so he did not have the same throwing power in his passing. There were concerns that it was not coming back fast enough for him to be effective this year. Most indications now are that the rehab on his arm has been going quite well and he should be pretty close to his old self by the start of the season.

Could someone lay some 411 on me?
Closest i ever got to this, was when i was very ill a friend of mine who was a lesbian actually went to Confession in order to go to mass and recieve communion. She flat out told me this REALLY proved she loved me because that first confession in ten years wasnt pretty and neither was the shitload of whatever she had to say, before she could be free to go to mass (i guess she had one said for my recovery) but that she thought it was worth it, because they had expected me to die (as you can see i didnt)
This story stuck with me. That woman in the artical stirring up shit is an idiot. When EVEN I KNOW you gotta be in a state of grace and confessed and all kinds of things that are Catholic, before you can take the wafer and drink the wine.
Also it appear you dont use holy water during lent. This is the extent of my knowledge of such things but there you go. I learned how not to embearass myself in a Catholic church.

First, it depends on how old the kids are and how long had the parents been divorced. My dad remarried when I was in second or third grade, so my Stepmother has been in my life for damn near twenty years. This is different than my mom's decision to date when I was a freshman in high school and was a little more aware of what was going on. Second, my advice was that he let her know he was seeing someone, but not to try and force and introduction between the two until the daughter wanted it. SoS made it clear that his daughter had an issue with mom dating suddenly after the divorce, and was concerned about how she'd react to him dating. My advice was in response to that.
Granted my kid was a little older, but she was complicit in setting me up with Grim and helped wargame the strategy for the friend who got us in the same place, for how to best get us to accept each other. (since both of us were suffering from spectacular broken hearts and have a miserable time trying to find dates we didnt just HATE.)So... sometimes the kid is glad youre getting your groove back.
I'm not saying that it never works. Hell, SoS's daughter may demand to meet this woman right away. My advice was that he make it clear that he doesn't expect his daughter to somehow immediately embrace whoever he's dating, and that he won't try to force the issue.

I was taught that you were supposed to go to confession regularly if you were to receive communion.

The problem is that the Obamas treat the Presidency like some kind of lottery win, or a big promotion. They think it entitles them to live a life of luxury. In fact, the WH and everything provided is provided because the President of the United States needs to present a certain appearance, but it should be kept to official business as much as possible. The Presidency is a sacrifice for the whole first family, and the Obama's don't understand that.

Yeah that was my understanding.
My friend had been told that if she wanted the mass for me, that she would have to come to confession, do the WHOLE "go forth and sin no more" shebang, REALLY MEAN IT, and then she could have the mass, take communion, and start again as a Catholic. (My friend was lapsed because she was a lesbian) She had lou gherigs disease at that point so i think because she was no longer a practicing lesbian, which i hear is an important distinction, she was welcome back into the church.
This chick in the story is a horrendous jerk. My friend was one of the finest and most ethical people i ever knew. She dealt with her illness with quiet dignity and humour, and I still grieve her loss.

The harrassment videos are creepy because they keep asking her where her man is and what would she do if somebody attacked her. These are at crowded public rallies. The lefty scum won't say their names, but they know hers since Althouse is a prominent law prof.
In this case they apparently tried to grab her camera and then punched her. When she called for police the attacker just laughed at her. A cop was there but apparently he warned her son, not the leftist attackers.
I haven't watched the videos yet cause it's late and I know it'll make my blood boil.
Althouse is a 60 year old woman. the harassment videos she posted showed 20 and 30-somethings darkly warning her about possible attacks, calling her by name, mocking her. The point is to make her fear for her safety and not report on the occupy Obama scum.
I hate these motherfucking Obama leftists.
Althouse has the videos up on her site.

One time at the Lutheran church I've attended occasionally, there was a woman there who refused Communion. The pastor tried (quietly) to change her mind, but ultimately backed off when she refused to budge. I'm guessing she was attaching a Catholic level of importance to it.
I'm not denigrating the Catholic way in this; Communion is an awesome thing, and it's a perfectly valid choice to restrict it to full members of the community. But I do appreciate being included in it as a guest by Lutherans.

Yes. I had someone i knew who was gay and not a fine person, who explained the whole gay marriage thing from HIS perspective-- "We just want to shit in their bed and make the breeders cry, for all the times we were picked last, bullied, made fun of, treated like crap in school for being a little fairy."
he was dead serious and speaking candidly, because he thought i agreed with him.

I'm pretty sure those are the videos from last year that she's reshowing. It certainly was a very tense time for her and it seems like reshowing them is a way for her to get perspective(I think she said something to that effect, but it's been about a month so I'm not sure).

I think the time I embarrassed him the most is the time I actually recognized one of the hymns, and started singing along. And of course I grew up in a musical, church going family, and have sung in choir since I was 10, and I lifted up my voice unto the Lord, oh yes, sir, I did.
It hadn't yet registered with me that there was very little congregational singing in that particular church. I did finally notice that I was the only one singing, and I about died of shame.

Miley has outgrown Hannah Montana and now she wants to be taken seriously as an "artist" but she just doesn't have the talent to pull it off. Reciting lefty dogma and dressing like a pole dancer is a lot easier than sitting at a piano and singing live without autotune or electronic noise to mask her lack of talent
Play to a small live audience with just acoustic instrumentation, singing your own songs dressed in jeans and a blouse if you want to be taken seriously

You occasionally see crap on the NYT or Slate/Salon.com about gay marriage or gay culture, where they will gleefully talk about how no one is monogomous and gay marriage won't change that. Ultimately, it is about shitting the bed for a lot of these guys.

Its a symbolic act in Lutheran churches.

Sure a Catholic can take Communion in a Protty church, but it can't possibly count? Would it be considered a sin, or just a non-event?

Now, if I found myself at a Catholic event, I'd know better than to join in, unless, like Ace described at a wedding a couple of years ago, I was worried that it'd cause a scene to refuse. But I think if I quietly shook my head and held a hand over my mouth, there'd be no issue.

House Republicans, searching for an election-year message amid a muddled political and economic landscape, will introduce a 2013 budget Tuesday that cuts tax rates and provides for just two individual brackets of 10% and 25%.
The budget would end the Alternative Minimum Tax, which originally was aimed at the wealthy but ensnares a growing number of middle-class taxpayers each year. The plan would nearly eliminate U.S. taxes on American corporations' earnings from overseas operations.
The proposal, to be offered by Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), who has become the Republicans' leading figure on budget issues

I don't know that HBO "hushed up" that Pelosi clip. I was just watching the thing earlier in the evening. Not on HBO, on the internets.
Regardless, HBO sucks. Used to have it up until 2002, then dropped it cause we needed to save money. Got it again for a few months in 2009 and...it sucked! They didn't show shit worth watching. Hardly any good movies and it seemed like a lot of original programming I had no interest in. Did try watching the first episode of Boardwalk Empire but it did nothing for me.
Wound up dropping it again for lack of interest.
They *used* to do good stuff or show decent movies. Now it's just...blah. Loved their original series like Oz and Spawn and From The Earth To The Moon and Band Of Brothers and now...nothing.

My wife didn't speak to me for about a day and a half afterwards.. lol..""
Good thing you never met the gem they got at the church by me. He was a dick, a frigging dick of the highest order.
When I decided to get married I wanted to get married at the church I went to as a kid, but they had no opening on that day. I decided well lets get married in the town I was going to live in. It was 6 months down the road, and the closing on the house was a little earlier. Basically I wasn't going to be living in the town until I got married. I go to the church there and have a meeting with the head cheese. This bastard puts me through the mill with questions, he asked a lot of stuff, stuff he didn't need to know.
He breaks out the fucking calculator, tells me how much I should give every week, and then finishes with this speech. I'll never forget what he said. He says "I want to see you here starting this sunday, and every week after".
I interupted him and said I won't be in this town until I'm married. He repeats himself in a louder tone. "I want to see you here starting this sunday, and every week after, and if I don;t feel you are making an effort to become part of this parish, on your wedding day I don't care what arrangements you have, and how many people are coming, and how much money you got tied up, but I will NOT marry you."
I stood up and told the future wife, "please stand up, and lets leave now, before I send satan a new fuck toy"
What a prick he was. I ended up begging the church I made my communion and confirmation in to marry me on that day. They felt bad for me after I explained what happened and set aside a time slot.

No, tragically I lost them all when my boat tipped over. My dad has been picking up my slack however. He's added 3 pistols to his collection in the last few months.

I was thinking those looked like nice home-defense guns, but looking into it further, the small shotgun shells aren't very useful and the actual bullets can be pushed more accurately and effectively with something more accurate and less clumsy.

I think he just likes dual use type stuff. He has a 1911 with a .22 conversion kit for example. Also a revolver with both .22 LR and .22 Mag cylinders.
I've fired The Judge, and it is reasonably accurate over 10 yards or so. It's not real bad on recoil and my mom isn't going to go out practicing. She hasn't fired a gun in over 20 years I bet.

The other is almost a mirror image. I was joking around with a friend, and it got the nickname: "the presentation of the schlong". There is no moment more fraught with peril than exposure.
And the yin-yang is so amusing. She's been saying, "no, no, no" when she means "yes". He's been saying, "I'm sure, I'm confident" when he means "I hope this works". She knows, "it's in the bag"; he fears, "if it's going to blow up, now's the time".
My (female) friend didn't credit the moment with the boldness I've felt passing it, but did allow that she'd seen a variety of styles to mark the occasion. The one that most impressed me was a guy who sang a song a capella while doing a striptease. Hat's off to 'im!

Would you settle for a paper on why Jonathan Coulton and Capt. Valor believe you should acquire Portal sooner than later?
Also, you should be able to get the first Portal as part of the Orange Box at retail, which also give you a bunch of Half-Life goodness. Available on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3, thought the PS3 version was bungled and inferior. The Xbox version can found most places for $19.99 or less.

Actually, millions of people bought Windows 3.0, especially if you include 3.1 and 3.11 (Windows for Workgroups aka The beginning of the end for Novell) . The was the first version that mattered to anyone outside the industry. Before then, you typically got Windows when you bought an app that required it. Digital research's GEM was very similar. There was a popular desktop publishing package called Ventura Publisher that made heavy use of the GEM GUI and APIs, so GEM was part of the package.
The Windows version that marked where nearly all new PCs included was 3.1, which also brought in TrueType as the biggest new feature. Scalable fonts made a really big difference for a lot of visual apps and the Microsoft-Apple collaboration on TrueType broke the Adobe stranglehold.

Never subscribed to HBO - never saw a reason too. It didn't seem worth the $$ at the time (I'm cheap), and now seems less than worthless. In fact, the only thing they have over services like Amazon Prime and Netflicks is their 'original' programing, which is the 'less than worthless' part.
I only wish I subcribed right now so I could tell them to take a hike.
