Wow.

Two years ago, a few friends and I went on a post-graduation road trip that took us all over the country. I put together a DVD to commemorate our journey, but for some reason I left out one of the best parts. When I was at the latest BC Summit in Chicago a few weeks ago, Drew reminded me of that fact. So here’s the missing two minutes.

A little setup: On our way from Portland to Seattle, we stopped at the Vagabond Motel in South Tacoma, Washington, and it turned out to be one of the most vile places on Earth. This clip doesn’t do it justice (the light was terrible so it looks pretty washed-out), but it should give you a sense of what we had to deal with that night.

Hey. I’ve successfully moved to New City, and after a long battle with Comcast, I have a reliable Internet connection. Thanks to Webmaster Gordo for filling in last week while I was staring at the ceiling and crying over my lack of connectivity. So here I am. Expect things.

Attn. women: Your legs are a threat to national security. Or airline safety. Or The Children. Maybe. Just get off the fucking plane, will you? I’m trying to be a sexually repressed, sanctimonious asshole over here.

I’ve been waiting for something like this to happen for quite some time.  While Mr Righi may haven handled the situation like an ass, at this point it appears like all of his actions were legal.

 Now I realize  with the current political atmosphere showing a receipt at a retail outlet is not exactly high on my list of endangered civil rights, however, I’m starting to get tired or certain big box retailers treating their honest customers like common criminals.

I was checking through our logs the other day, and it seems after J-Ho’s spam article we had a few hits from people looking for MegaDik reviews.  Seeing an opportunity to actually make some money off this site for a change, I contacted the fine people at MegaDik to discuss an exciting new business partnership. After hours of intense negotiations, I am proud to announce our new corporate sponsor. 

Alex Blagg is a brave dude, and we hope he will be well rewarded in blogger heaven.

Ummmm Ok?

On August 30, a B52 took off from Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, and flew for more than three hours before landing at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana.

 

It was only then that crews discovered the six Advanced Cruise Missiles mounted on the bombers’ wings were armed with W80-1 warheads, which have yields of between 5 and 150 kilotons.

Whoa.

Sorry to be the last one to the party, but I just lost an hour hunting all this stuff down: Terrorifying, sad hipster fable about losing your shit, lieing your way up, and spending too much time online.
