What's even worse, the Oxendine campaign has managed to create the most irritating campaign commercial in election history.
My apologies if watching that made your eyeballs turn around in your skull and eat your own brain in order to stop the suffering. If anyone actually received money to create that piece of crap, then every hard working graphic artist in the state has the right to stab them in a back alley with a wacom pen converted into a shank.
Also if Oxendine wins next year, then Georgia will officially have Norman Osborne as governor.
Seriously, how the fuck does someone get their hair to do that?
This is a decorated WWII veteran speaking in defense of gay rights, asking the question "What do you think our boys fought for?"
In England, these two street thugs(commonly known as chavs or yobs) had too much to drink one night and decided to go out into the street to stir up some trouble. They go around acosting people left and right and causing a couple of fights. Then they spot two drag queens and feel they've found their next targets. So one of the trouble makers then approaches one of the cross dressers and says "Nice dress, gay boy!" and takes a swing at him... unbeknownst to the drunken chavs, they had actually picked a fight with two cross dressing MMA cage fighters who were on their way to a friends' stag party.
And you can probably guess how the rest of it went down. The cage fighters are now being lauded as heroes, and you can see them in their glamorous getups and read their interview here.
CCTV footage of the night in question:
It starts around 1:00 when the shirtless one sees one of the fighters and walks over to start trouble.
In this clip, they travel to New Zealand and have a special encounter with a Kakapo that apparently wants to get a head start on the repopulating thing.

There was a guy going around Dragon*Con claiming to be taking pictures for "Women of Dragon*Con." This person is now selling those images on his website without obtaining commercial releases from any of the girls.
Check the link because you or someone you might know may be in them.

So this year will have: Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart, AND William Shatner. Wow.
Apparently, there's a hotly debated fight in Oxford, AL right now as the city is tearing down a 1,500 year old Indian mound to put up a Sam's Club.

The icing on the cake of all this is the mayor who's pushing the project forward and actually said, and I quote, "What it's going to be is more prettier than it is today."
On the happier side, something really fascinating was announced this week. The remains of a massive "Cathedral like structure" dating back to the Neolithic Age has been found found in the Orkney islands. An area that is already known for such unique Stone Age monuments as the Ring of Brodgar (pictured below).

Their current stuff is okay, but they've apparently got a new album coming out with a remastered style, and I came across the one preview song they have out there. There are no words....
This song reminded me of the feeling of listening to Stan Bush's The Touch or the metal version of The Transformers theme for the first time. I dare you to say this doesn't take you back to halcyon dreams of your youth. Go on, I DARE YOU!

Are any of you involved with any volunteer efforts or are there any that you could recommend? I would ideally like something involving the environment or something that could expand my job skills, but at this point I can't really be too picky.
PS: Tracy, it's a long story but the Mad Housers aren't really an option for me. I'll tell you later.
On the one hand, Sam Raimi's the man. On the other hand... it's still fucking Warcraft.

Well shit, if that isn't a conversation starter about why the living room got remodeled.

*Pssst* Don't let it near a copy of Animal Farm
And a little entertainment for the video gamers out there. Behold the crappiest game in history to have come out on the 3DO system and possibly of all time: Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. It's a crappy choose your own adventure slideshow that masquerades as softcore porn.

Daniel Radcliffe is also supposedly in the running to play Bilbo, but I don't think anyone could really see him pulling that off. The more you think about, the more it seems Tennant is perfect for it.
NASA announced yesterday that they've released newly remastered copies of the moon landing footage. However, NASA admitted in 2006 that it didn't know exactly where the original tapes of the moon landing broadcasts were located. This triggered a search for the master copies that lasted several years until a NASA broadcast engineer in Maryland finally made the discovery. The original moonlanding tapes were part of a batch of 200,000 tapes that were erased and re-used to save money!?!?!
And on the unbelievably brought to light front. Former Cold War political prisoners were filming a docu-drama in Germany. When they ordered a bunch of files to be used as props on the set, they were mysteriousy provided with actual files from the Stasi police that were never unclassified after the Cold War.
They're devoted to doing a line of "Quirk Classics" now. The skinny on this one:
Editor Jason Rekulak explains the choice of sea monsters for this highly anticipated literary mash-up:
"A couple of publishers are crashing Jane Austen vampire novels that will no doubt capitalize on the success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and there were certainly plenty of people who urged me to do the same. But I didn't want to go out with the one-millionth vampire novel that's going to be published this year. I know there are a lot of vampire fans, but the genre feels exhausted to me. Whereas Sea Monsters allowed us to draw inspiration from so many rich and diverse sources-most obviously Jules Verne novels and Celtic mythology, but also Jaws, Lost, Pirates of the Caribbean, even SpongeBob Squarepants! I think Pride and Prejudice and Zombies fans are counting on us to deliver something original, and I don't think they will be disappointed."
With Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, Quirk Classics has also developed a new Austen to monster ratio. Instead of featuring 85% of Austen's work and 15% new text as in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters features 60% Austen and 40% additional monster chaos! Most importantly, this new Quirk Classic stays true to Austen's original novel…
As our story opens, the Dashwood sisters are evicted from their childhood home and sent to live on a mysterious island full of savage creatures and dark secrets. While sensible Elinor falls in love with Edward Ferrars, her romantic sister Marianne is courted by both the handsome Willoughby and the hideous man-monster Colonel Brandon. Can the Dashwood sisters triumph over meddlesome matriarchs and unscrupulous rogues to find true love? Or will they fall prey to the tentacles that are forever snapping at their heels?
This masterful portrait of Regency England blends Jane Austen's biting social commentary with ultraviolent depictions of biting sea monsters. It's survival of the fittest-and only the swiftest swimmers will find true love! Featuring fifteen black-and-white illustrations and including "A Reader's Discussion Guide" for book club and student use, Sense and Sensibility and Season Monsters is sure to delight Austen fans as well as wayfaring adventurers.
I remember the English teachers of my high school days despising Cliff Notes. I wonder what they'd say if kids started using these for assigned reading.

And lets not forget the illustrious animation track will also have Paul Dini and the creator of Megas XLR among others.
The main one is this clock which traps and digests flies.
A video of their designs highlights other concepts, including a table that does the same thing with mice. I think that one's basically vaporware though.
It's bacon and salami wedged between two layers. Thick cotton underneath, and clear vinyl on top. Yes, she threw it out afterwards obviously.
