Excellent

From the wikipedia on Andy Griffith: "Griffith died on July 3, 2012, from a heart attack at age 86 at his coastal home in Manteo, Roanoke Island, in Dare County, North Carolina. He was buried in the Griffith family cemetery on the island within five hours of his death."

Within 5 hours? WTF?

That was 45% sooner than normal.

They didn't want the press finding out about the AIDS.

This explains alot about Thompsons death....


--------------

A set of antlers stolen by the late Hunter S Thompson from the home of Ernest Hemingway has been returned to the Nobel laureate’s family by the gonzo journalist’s widow.

Anita Thompson told the website BroBible that Thompson took the elk antlers from Hemingway’s home in Ketchum, Idaho, in 1964. Hemingway shot himself in the home in 1961. Thompson visited three years later, to write an essay about his visit, What Lured Hemingway to Ketchum?, exploring “just what it was about this outback little Idaho village that struck such a responsive chord in America’s most famous writer”.

The young man who would go on to write Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and to invent gonzo journalism also, according to his widow Anita Thompson, “got caught up in the moment” and stole the antlers, going on to hang them in his own garage. In his essay, Thompson refers to “a big pair of elk horns over the front door” in Hemingway’s “comfortable-looking chalet”.

So I'm watching this movie last night called Vigilante Diaries

This movie is horrendously bad but it has a pretty decent budget so its not a complete pile of shit - they shoot in American, Scotland, London, Armenia and I'm sure some other places. Plus I'm stuck waiting up for my kid to get back out from a night on the town with his friends so I'm in recliner mode for the evening.

anyways, among the many, many wincingly bad scenes there is one scene where the hero of the movie..the nameless Vigilante only a day released from being tortured (he probably has a name but who gives a fuck, its meaningless in the movie) is handed a phone running facetime with Michael Madsden (are you that hard up for money?) at the other end showing that they are kidnapping his pregnant wife. Fast forward a day or so, no more than two later (because vigilante still has fresh cuts on his face) and the wife is tied up in a chair, washboard abs with a woman complaining about having to babysit her kid while they wait for the Vigilante to show up and rescue her.

So this woman gives birth in a day in a half of being kidnapped and transported from someplace in America to Armenia, and just happens to have yoga pants and a sports bra/half shirt thing to show off her washboard abs.

Now maybe as a young man who has never experienced being with a woman during childbirth, you don't catch that glaringly bad plot hole, but as a man who HAS lived with a woman giving birth - this is comically bad.

They also have a flaming homosexual former navy seal (don't ask, don't tell my ass is his tagline) who appears randomly as a computer information guru who pull information out of thin air to move the story along which as far as I can tell is a guy trying to set off suitcase bombs around the world but they don't really bother telling you why other than some bad analogy regarding switching trains on the tracks to save lives. I may have been getting a bowl of ice cream during this time and didn't follow it completely.

I give it 3 out of 4 stars for not allowing me to stop watching because I wanted to see what was going to happen next.

Heh. I will have to see that.

As an aside: There is an actual decorated, pipe-swinging badass ex Navy Seal who wears dresses and lipstick now.

does he still have a dick?

Yeah. I assume.

Along with the transgender, here's the first openly gay Navy Seal. Bonus, him and his husband live in Alabama. War Eagle:

I wonder which bathroom she uses?

If I ever see her in the men's riom, I will not say a word.

I saw the documentary they made on her ("Lady Valor"). She's still a badass and she's still a bit hot-tempered.

I wonder if she's ever punched a hole in her wall at home?

I wish she punched a hole in your ugly fat face.

I see you're still wildly flailing from my earlier sass. Excellent....
