A message to the movie industry

I think region codes are causing more piracy, not less.

Rant here.

They’ve ruined the flavour…

First a word, Ive never knowingly tried Russian beer.

However reading this story doesnt exactly make me want to rush out and grab a dozen or 2 either…

A little something extra in every bottle.

Im al,ost afraid to ask, but WTF was the old acceptable amounts?

Its from Pravda so it must be true….

Tom and Jerry was not a documentary

Old news but new to me :

I saw this letter yesterday in a private library/document collection in Eufaula, Alabama—just over the river and around the way from Jimmy’s home in Plains, Georgia. It’s addressed to his sister-in-law Sybil Carter, Billy’s widow.

5/13/90
To Sybil,
Lamentably, I killed your cat while trying just to sting it. It was crouched, as usual, under one of our bird feeders & I fired from some distance with bird shot. It may ease your grief somewhat to know that the cat was buried properly with a prayer & that I’ll be glad to get you another of your choice.

I called & came by your house several times. We will be in the Dominican Republic until Thursday. I’ll see you then.
Love, Jimmy

(the photog later pulled it at the request of the owner)

FYI The action in a cartoon is not always representative of what would happen if the same event occurred in real life.

Poor Jimmy had probably already written a note  saying “Lamentably, your cat now has a bald spot on his butt where I blew all the fur off with a shotgun…”

On the results page for a Google image search for “squirrel” it sometimes says :
“Related searches:  squirrel helicopter”.

The results for “squirrel helicopter” are a bit of a disappointment. But fixable.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

Few things say “keep your hands off my nuts” like a gatling gun.

(Note that two contrarotating rotors eliminate the need for a tail rotor. He’d look pretty stupid with a tail rotor on his tail and the main rotor sticking out of his head.)
