I lost the driver side door once to a truck (while holding on to it) while I was getting the family out of our broken down car - people are morons.
Anyway, on the cheery side here’s Dolph Lundgren being awesome.
Reminds me somewhat of this.

wow. Dolph Lundgren was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to MIT? I did … not … know that.
What does happen?
I guess he empties his choggle-cheerleader-pants off-stage and little Jimmy believes he eats cheerleaders.
But there are a limited number of cheerleaders and no explanation why the raptors would eat their own.
I would never take a kid to this game.
“Why?”
Because thats what horrible mascots do.

The HEL is real, and it works. Wow.

I’m going to say look up MARTI or marti engagement and hope you are feeling caliente.
Would a practical weapon work like that? Thats like nine seconds of uncomfortable cheesiness.
Uh, any links to what you’re talking about there, Scurvy? I googled it, and I’m getting all kinds of engagement announcements for people named “Marti” (and Richard Marti has been promoted to Engagement Manager at Jefferson Wells, congrats!).
Seriously? I know that guy! Salut!

Forget laser planes. Laser shoots mosquito.
You either wanna see that, or you do.

Could you . . . elaborate on what you’re trying to say? I’m not getting it. I think you’re saying that because the first test was against a MARTI (a test missile, essentially) it’s invalid? Here’s a more detailed link, they’ve taken down “threat representative” solid fuel boosting missiles as well:
http://closingvelocity.typepad.com/closing_velocity/2010/02/historic-intercept-airborne-laser-shoots-down-ballistic-missile.html
At 8:44 p.m. (PST), February 11, 2010, a short-range threat-representative ballistic missile was launched from an at-sea mobile launch platform. Within seconds, the ALTB used onboard sensors to detect the boosting missile and used a low-energy laser to track the target. The ALTB then fired a second low-energy laser to measure and compensate for atmospheric disturbance. Finally, the ALTB fired its megawatt-class High Energy Laser, heating the boosting ballistic missile to critical structural failure. The entire engagement occurred within two minutes of the target missile launch, while its rocket motors were still thrusting.
For my money, any time you can use the term “megawatt-class” and “laser” together when referring to reality, the awesomometer jumps straight to 11.

Resuced after being stranded on a desert island with only a 13 year old girl’s CD collection for 20 years… The Metal band Rock Sugar has come home.

I can’t decide if I like that or not. I mean, I hate mashups and typically dislike cover bands, but somehow a mashup cover band is better. SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO!
Don’t fight it, RP. You know it is awesome.
The first Metallica -> Journey transition at around 1:30 is pretty great.
The guy is actually a really good singer. I imagine it’s pretty hard to sing like Steve Perry, since if it was easy everybody would do it. They have another Journey song (Separate Ways mashed with Ratt’s Round and Round) and he nails that too.
You hate them, Robot. You think that switching back and forth between songs is pointless, and doesn’t make an interesting musical statement. You want to post negative comments on youtube about it.
I do think that for mashups, where someone’s just using mixing software to cram two songs together. The only talent involved there is finding songs that work without too much tempo or pitch manipulation. And then ruining them all at once.
But since these guys are actually performing the songs… I dunno. I think I like it. As long as they don’t put out a JayZ vs Linkin Park album.
“Dreaming of a Whole Lotta Breakfast” is the greatest mashcover since Heartbreaker (At the End of Lonely Street).
