If Pacquiao’s still refusing to submit to random blood tests - man, fuck that little vanilla midget.

“Process model delta,” what the fuck does that mean? I hate you so much, Eclipse.

Have you seen his toes?

Unless it’s ‘step song rapes’.

I didn’t realize Armando Penblade was Arm and open blade until Rimbo pointed it out.

Along this line, I read Bahimiron as “Bah! I’m iron!” Iron being the cockney slang for homosexual.

Just downloaded iTunes for the first time, while looking for some random podcast. Instead, I found a massive catalog of free full length downloads for the Handel on the Law AM radio show, hosted by Bill Handel. Score! This guy is the only radio personality that ever gets me literally laughing out loud.

Hey, this Facebook stuff isn’t so bad! I’ve only been actively using it for two days now, and I’ve already reconnected with two dear old friends.

Sometimes I read through threads from a while back and see a post and think “Hey, I agree with that guy”.

And then I read the name and find out that it’s me.

Yeah, that too.

Blarg I hate getting fillings. The numbness hasn’t worn off yet and it’s making my lips sag. I look all sad.

I am now Facebook friends with the guy who spun incendiary swordchucks.

Fighter would be proud.

Just saw The Lion King – the Broadway version – with my son and realized how much of a republican (in the 18th century sense of the word) I am. The only characters I had any real sympathy for were the lemur and warthog. I sympathized somewhat with the evil villain, named Scar (real subtle there, Disney) – at least he was trying to take his own destiny into his own hands. But Simba and Mustafa were just nepotistic monarchical leaches, and of course, the women did all the work, and everybody was just fine with that.

I kind of see this as a Royalist re-imagining of an alternative history of the French Revolution. Mustafa was Louis XVI and Simba was the Dauphin, Louis Joseph. Nali, of course, was (somewhat anachronistically) Marie Antoinette, and Scar was Napoleon. The three hyenas were Robespierre, Marat and Jacques Hébert (Hébert was the kinda slow one). Since the lemur and the warthog are obviously Americans (in the play, they even spoke with affected Brooklyn accents), I’m guessing the were Thomas Jefferson (the lemer) and Ben Franklin (the warthog).

…I’m sleeping with a guy who has latent plans to build incendiary swordchucks. I’m scared.

Unrelated: sweet Zombie Lincoln on a pogo stick, I’m a college graduate. Damn.

They’re really not all that efficient. The idea behind any high-velocity rotary weapon like a flail is to transmit all its kinetic energy upon impact immediately. The point of setting any kind of weapon on fire is to hopefully also set your target on fire (flaming arrows, for instance) - which would require prolonged contact, something not really possible with a rotary chain weapon.

Better version - nonflammable sock, $20 of quarters, regular sock. Put the quarters in the nonflammable sock, put the nonflammable sock into the flammable sock, soak the weighted end of the outer sock in a flammable liquid (preferably naptha), light, and then flail away. The idea is to hit an opponent’s limb on the downward arc, preferably a foot or so behind the weighted head, allowing it to wrap around the limb, thus entangling the opponent’s arm with a weighted mass of fabric that is on fire.

I mean, that’s just a two-minute assessment, I’m sure I could come up with something more efficient given time. But really, flaming swordchucks are really low on the melee efficiency tables.

Why is blood red? You’d think from an evolutionary standpoint, having a substance that stands out like that would be a bad idea. Of course, Vulcans aren’t much better, as the green still shows. Hmmm…

I always thought it had something to do with the iron in hemoglobin.

It’s because of the hemo goblins that carry oxygen. Goblins are red creatures, so blood is red.
