If you have legs and are flamable you are never blocking a fire exit

If you have legs and are flamable you are never blocking a fire exit


I almost got into a fistfight the other day because a dude insisted that "Radar" from the TV show MASH was called radar because he "operated the radar machine" . First of all this was a medical drama , there was no radar machine . Secondly this was the Korean War , radar was barely a thing . And thirdly those things don't matter because he was called radar on account of knowing what his CO wanted before he said it .

I watched that show religiously when I was a but I have NO idea why . I was too young to understand any of the jokes or even what was going on really . I was a TV addict sure , but that doesn't explain why I watched THAT show .

I've never seen the movie , I hear it's quit a different animal .

MASH is interesting because it remained popular despite several of the main characters leaving - generally that's the kiss of death for a show . I mean who gave a crap about the Office after Michael Scott left ? Nobody that's who .

Trapper was replaced by BJ
Colonel Blake was replaced by Colonel Potter
Frank was replaced by Winchester
Radar was replaced by Klinger (sort of)

You could say that Hawkeye was the protagonist so these were all ancillary characters , but they were major characters regardless .

A direct correlation between the amount of television one watches and the amount of fear one harbors about the world has been proven , although the direction of causality remains debatable in that persons fearful of the world may be more likely to retreat from it and in turn spend more time in indoor , solitary activity such as television watching .

One of the many , many , MANY things that irritates me is when people make assumptions about the direction of causality . One that is persistent is that violent video games cause violent actions when it seems much more likely that people who are violent are going to play violent video games .

News coverage of missing black women is more likely to focus on the victim’s baggage , such as abusive boyfriends or a troubled past , while coverage of white women tends to focus on their roles as mothers or daughters .

I used to think that the subtle racism of lowered expectations was all we had to deal with in these modern times racism wise . I was wrong .

Women in Refrigerators is a website created in 1999 by a group of feminists and comic book fans that lists examples of the comic book trope whereby female characters are injured , killed , or depowered as a plot device , and seeks to analyze why these plot devices are used disproportionately on female characters . It refers to an incident in Green Lantern #54 in which Kyle Rayner , the titular Green Lantern , comes home to his apartment to find that his girlfriend , Alexandra DeWitt , had been killed by the villain Major Force and stuffed into a refrigerator .

Pop quick there is also a Porn Star named Major Force - True or False ?

Geuzen was a name assumed by the confederacy of Calvinist Dutch nobles , who from 1566 opposed Spanish rule in the Netherland s. The most successful group of them operated at sea , and so were called Watergeuzen . In the Eighty Years' War, the Capture of Brielle by the Watergeuzen in 1572 provided the first foothold on land for the rebels , who would conquer the northern Netherlands and establish an independent Dutch Republic .

I tell you I'm not one of those people who cares about having a "legacy" or "accomplishing things" but I wouldn't mind establishing an independent republic of one kind of another .

The State of the Union address is a method of compressing partisan lies into an hour-or-two-long speech .

The annual speech tells Congress and the entire United States what The President thinks . It is received in a room full of crusty and aging legislators who long ago lost their souls and have no lodestar except the desire to :

1.Bask in the reflected glory of the President's presence

2.Have all their impressionable constituents watch them doing so and thereby get the impression they have a fraction of the President's charisma

Federal law provides that , in addition to his annual salary of $400,000 the President gets one evening a year in a chamber where a crowd of fawning wannabes will deliriously applaud him for saying nothing of substance and where everyone in the country can see that they did . This is not just a fringe benefit for the President, as it reassures even the most incompetent American citizen that his poorest and most meaningless work might have someone welcome it , by virtue of the welcomer being even worse - or might lead to a lifetime sinecure , if he can simply find a boss who is eager to be surrounded by suck-ups .

In the early 1970's Norway a man called Jon Almaas fought Chuck Norris . After losing the climatic battle Norris killed his to make it more humiliating for Jon . Almaas swore revenge and started his training . After years of barfights , mutilations and televised speeches by George Bush he had perfected the ultimate style of fighting : The Norwegian Barfighting Method .

Almaas , considering himself ready for revenge, ran to Finland and stole 500 (more or less) gallons of the purest vodka , none of which has ever been recovered . He then started the long journey to Zanzibar , where Chuck awaited the ultimate battle for our souls . The two fighting deities met on top of the tallest mountain on all of Zanzibar , which at the time was about 50 feet above sea level and was actually a house painted grey . Witnesses have accounted that even the Sun was scared like crap and ran away . Without warning , Chuck took the first attack ; a crushing roundhouse kick . The same witnesses were struck to the ground , most of whom had their eyes sporked out , later accounted that it seemed like Chuck missed Almaas . Jon then bitch slapped Chuck and slid between his legs , jumped on Chuck's back and bit Chuck's head off . Chuck Norris then fell to his knees , momentarily blinded . Almaas then put on his vintage golf shoes and kicked Chuck so hard in his testicles that God winced . After this , Chuck disappeared in a puff of smoke .

The Norwegian Military was so impressed with what they heard , that they made it their official style of fighting . It has been theorized that the Chuck Norris Almaas killed was actually Chuck Norris' brother , Huck on account of Chuck Norris not being dead . This theory however has done nothing to end his eternal rise to fame as the inventor of the worlds deadliest fighting method .

I've just finished reading excalibur #3 in the trilogy by bernard cornwell. I do like historical fiction/non fiction.
I think you'd do quite well as an author. Havent heard or seen many werewolves here - possibly far too hot for them.

I believe all the werewolves in Australia were banished by Edward Kelly as they were disturbing the snakes

Well, that was even more of grab bag than usual.

The semi crappy Netflix series that I recently finished had a plot line about a struggling author having to resort to YA fiction and coming up with a book where a sexy werewolf is the protagonist. Wolf Trials!
