Whats the GEARS OF WAR 2 TV Spot Song?

Devotchka – How It Ends.
I’M GLAD I DOWNLOADED THE REST OF THEIR ANTHOLOGY BECAUSE IT SUCKS.
No really, I would love to have said the band is great – and there’s moments where it almost is and has this philip glass quality to it. Those moments are few and far between and mostly it just stays [...]

On the Advice of… Everyone…

On the advice of the K5 brewers, they said I needed MOAR DRAINAGE if I wanted to do all grain correctly.
I added yet another legnth of screen. This is simply yet another stainless lint trap with the end cut open and brass fittings on it. The first question I got was “why brass?”

concerned. If you buy a Ford, it’s built in South America with South
American wrenches. Check the sticker on the [...]

Four Years of Chimp Government

Looks like the Stupid Monkey won. Good job guys.
Way to chimp up the election.
We’ve given a guy who served less than one term in senate (three years) the keys to the nuclear program. A guy who grew up in Indonesia, hardly a paragon of American values, has now taken the highest office in the [...]

For the Upcoming Race War

For anyone who loves Gears of War…

I Had a Wonderful Birthday

I had a wonderful birthday yesterday thanks in a large part to my wife and my parents. Of course, I got the XBOX 360 with the 60GB drive as my Christmas (Yuletide?)/Birthday present, so this was simply a bonus on top of an already excellent birthday. We went to Iron Hill and the food was [...]
