Ever see the one with the Nazis on the moon? I can't for the life of me recall the name, but yeah, moon Nazis. They colonized the moon at the end of WW2 and have been hiding there ever since, waiting to return and take over the earth. Then a black American astronaut shows up and crashes the Reich's party.
In a cross reference to the 3 girls who were kidnapped thread... there is no punishment on earth severe enough for these parents. As a mother, I want to inflict horrible things on them. Things Jigsaw would consider evil. This didn't just depress me, it pissed me off.
Want to know how it feels to get kicked out of both Nirvana AND Soundgarden? Must read. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/02/magazine/evermans-war.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/02/magaz ... s-war.html</a>
We could incorporate board members. ...and Nom was riding the lion, being the Sensual Vampire Hunter that he is...
"Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the mall . . ." Something something shark something something aliens something something topless girls something something explosions something something bad guy dies something something nerdy scientists gets the girl something something roll credits.
In an effort to study how sharks bred to be overly aggressive will behave in zero gravity, a pack of them are launched into orbit and placed in a space research facility manned by young, attractive scientists. Except when a meteor hits the station, the sharks are released from containment and begin hunting the humans throughout the flooded corridors. With water flowing in zero gravity, sharks can even strike from above. But wait, there's more... In utter desperation, the remaining scientists jettison the capsule containing the last of the sharks and send it back to Earth, thinking that it will burn up in the atmosphere during re-entry. But their calculations are wrong and the capsule lands directly on the White House, sending dozens of sharks and thousands of gallons of water into the West Wing. Only one man can now save the President...Tony Danza.
Getting closer . . . Alien gorillas, riding an asteroid, with sharks on anti-matter leashes, crash into the southern pacific ocean, sending a tidal wave of sea water, garbage, and robot parts rushing across the globe. The ensuing steam-produced clouds block out the sun for 23 years. Bruce Willis travels across this blasted landscape with his son in a 1974 Ford Interceptor, driven by Mel Gisbon, gathering a team of space-cowboy well drillers to drill a hole in the side of the Alien Gorilla spaceship. They upload a rudimentary computer virus that sends the spaceship, and the remaining sharks and gorillas, spinning into the Sun.
Add a frantic race against time. Bruce's son has been probed by the Alien Gorillas, who implanted a capsule containing alien gorilla DNA that is slowly dissolving in his colon. Upon complete dissolve, the alien gorilla DNA will bind to his own, creating an indestructible ape man capable of survival on earth.
Okay, you people wonder why I hate cops so much?! Watch this: Spoiler Why is it okay for cops to film us all the time, but illegal for us to film them? Why is it okay for a cop to kill a civillian's dog, but if a civillian kills a police K9 they are charged with murdering an officer? It's just a dog, right?
Jesus fucking christ DB, put that kind of stuff in spoiler tags or something. Already knowing what that video is, Im not going to watch it again. But for the people that havent, put your diatribe ahead of it or give fair warning. This thread or any other thread is not the place for a video like this unless its specifically a sober thread around this topic, but not the fucking WTD. EDIT: Thank you.
I thought anything short of child pornography and politics was fair game in the drunk thread. But okay, I'll spoiler it. As for it being too serious, how about we start a sober thread discussing it? I know there are a lot of dog lovers on here. How about it, Chompsky?
Yeah, except that Le Carré was quite right about what is now XDR-TB (extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis). Fuck, South Africa had a massive outbreak of that shit in 2006, about a year after the film premiered at movie theaters. Combine this with HIV/AIDS sufferers (also originally from Africa as far as I know) and you have quick deaths in the thousands. The problem is the idiots that live here that have TB don't finish their fucking meds and stop when they feel better and NOT when the course of drugs is complete, and then it's hello XDR-TB, nice to see you, death. Tl;dr: Do not come to Africa. Launch your nukes at it as soon as possible to kill all the fucked up things living/mutating here.
Nom, feel free to delete this if it's too political. Cops these days just don't know their head from their asshole in certain areas of the law. If they did, they would know it's not illegal to film them. Unfortunately, technology has progressed faster than the training at police acadamies. I have no idea why departments still tell their officers that it's illegal for citizens to film them. It's not. Police also don't like their actions caught on camera. Recording the police empowers civilians and makes police accountable (that's that shit they don't like). My criminal procedure and First Amendment professor voice records all of his interactions with police, not that he has that many, and encouraged his students to do the same. Police are usually good at knowing what they can and cannot do but often don't know the reasoning behind the rules. This usually applies to searches, seizures, Terry stops, Miranda, etc. but has somehow failed to trickle down to the area of filming police. The police likely won't be charged with anything in this case, as the dog presented them with a threat which the officer believed could only be remedied by the use of lethal force. The state has a monopoly on violence. As such, the killing of a police K9 is like murdering an officer...because the state and legislators say so.
While that makes sense philosophically, it has been wrong in practical terms until very recently in certain geographies. Many jurisdictions have had explicit laws that forbid filming police officers without their permission. And even more had laws against doing it secretly.
No fire ban in Summit. I may not be going to Missouri as I expected, but at least I'll be in the mountains, which will be awesome. I'm not a wildery guy and I'm terrified of mountain lions, but maybe I can start getting used the camping lifestyle. Any wildery people here have any suggestions for basic camping stuff (aka tent/sleeping bag) that won't kill my wallet but will keep me warm?
