Hunters and Shooters Club: Crazy Bullshit

I have a weird relationship with the NRA. They occasionally offer the life membership option at a discount for $300. I would give $300 for a life membership to the NRA. The price used to be $700ish for a long time, now it’s up to $1000. My parents gave my brother the discounted membership option, [...]

Get Smart

I just heard there was going to be a Get Smart movie from the guys at work.
My cast suggestions:
Keanu Reeves (or Aston Kutcher) as Maxwell Smart
Fred Thompson as the chief (“WE HAVE A SPECIAL MISSION OF THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION TYPE”)
Lindsey Lohan as Agent 99.
That is all.

Smash Brothers and Slanty Stuff

If you’re interested in Media Bias or wonder what the other side of the story is, Skewz.com recently made slashdot. It’s worth a read and I don’t see any obvious trolling on it. It does use static links for articles, so any idiot with a perl script could game it given enough motivation. Your mileage [...]
