Convicted of war crimes, Barbaro has gone the way of Saddam Hussein. As our readers may recall, the horse was captured after an attempt to unseat royalty in what is known as the Triple Crown. He has long been known as one of the leading lieutenants of the enemy forces in the War on Animals.
Feel free to dance in the streets, brothers!
There are many things Australians are willing to take. Shots of whiskey being one of them. But there are just some things beyond decency.
Like the senseless destruction of garden gnomes. Thousands of gnomes were found destroyed, some with their heads cut off.
Police have one suspect.
Beware the true prophet of Christianity-the ducks!
Yeah, sure, we humans may have nuclear weapons and all, but the ducks? The ducks have got Jesus. Or the Anti-Christ. It all really depends on how you look at it, I guess.
It’s bad enough that we’re fighting a war here on Earth, but to think that long ago, prehistoric space-man may have had to fight prehistoric Martian creatures? Horrifying.
Japan just has to outdo us at everything: cars, video games and now political transgretions.
Either health minister Hakuo Yanagisawa has a low opinion of women, or Japan has finally made robot women.
As you may have heard, D.C. was overrun with protesters this weekend. Jesse Jackson, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and Jane Fonda were there. There were sights to be seen all around downtown.
Shockingly enough, most of the protesters were shouting for 1) an immediate pullout from Iraq, 2) the impeachment of the president and 3) Insert Random Cause Somehow Stretched To Fit Into This Protest.
My favorite moment of that day came before I even saw the protest itself. I had just gotten off of the Metro (D.C.’s subway) and was about to get on the escalator and head to the exit. Riding on the escalator about 10 steps ahead of me was a protester holding a sign that read “Escalation is Not the Answer!”
People looked at me funny when I broke out laughing.
An alien meteorite falls upon a small town and infects a man who can’t seem to showcase his love for his wife. The man slowly, but very surely, begins to turn into something that cannot be described other than to say a “really horrible monster but totally awesome effects”, and slowly infects other townspeople who all turn on the mayor, sheriff and others, who are attempting to escape and kill the lead infecter. Got all that? Great, now sit back and enjoy the show!
If you’ve seen any previews for Slither, directed by James Gunn, any pictures from some of its gross-out moments, you pretty much have a solid idea of what it’s all about: fun, horror and really gross stuff! If you enjoy those elements, as well as homages to cool horror flicks of the past, the typical 50s “small town” set-up, mixed in with some memorable dialog (with the best clearly being unprintable) and enjoy the acting stylings of Nathan Fillion, the great Michael Rooker and Gregg Henry, this film is sure to twinkle your horror toes, particularly if mutating monsters, slugs, zombies and really disgusting scenarios are your bag o’ chips. I got exactly what I thought I was going to get from this movie, and maybe a little more as I really didn’t think the effects would be as effective as they were (most of them are practical, as opposed to CGI) and the dialog was also a lot funnier than I expected. The film starts off with your typical small town set-up, establishing all of the characters slowly, but surely, and teasing us with some effects as the “alien” being lands in a field outside of town; however, once the extra-terrestrial being infects Rooker’s character, the fun really begins as he mutates and the fit hits the shan.
As if China could not get any weirder, three Chinese men were arrested for killing two women and selling their corpses as “ghost brides” for dead single men. Is this Burton-esque or what?
Not to be culturally insensitive, but does marrying a dead person with another dead person make any sense? Is there some sort of tax break?
After a bit of a lull in animal aggression, it seems our enemies are back at it. Two mountain lions attacked a 70-year old man in California. The man had his 65-year old wife were out walking in a state park when he was attacked.
The man’s wife saved him by beating the lions with a log and stabbing them with a pen.
This blog salutes their bravery. It’s an ugly war, but it’s good to know we have the courage to stand up to the evildoers.
A chilling story this morning as a high school plot to kill is uncovered in Tennessee today. A principal found a list of 300 names of people six girls wanted to kill. These girls had some killing to do, and it was serious.
Key quote: “School officials said the list, discovered in a classroom trash can, mostly named students and faculty members but also included Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey and the Energizer Bunny.”
On second thought, this blog thinks these girls were in the right. Who doesn’t want to kill Tom Cruise and Oprah Winfrey? And the Energizer Bunny? Not a soul on this planet doesn’t want to make him stop going and going and going and going.
