In grade school they showed this to us at least five times on the big projector. The only film they showed more than PtoTS was Ryan Larkin's Walking:

You're not the only one. There are people on gulf islands in British Columbia who build various catapults and throw heavy and amazing things very far in all directions.

It's a type of catapult called a trebuchet.

If in the next several years random and organized political street violence becomes increasingly widespread and commonplace in the US then yeah, i do believe that fascism will be a real concern at that point.

Qualm's Andy Rooney Voice This election season i feel for the good people of the United States who are now faced with choosing between the Democrats - who are mostly corrupt and cynical, and the Republicans - who are mostly corrupt and sinister. Admittedly, i can be cynical at times, so if i could vote i suppose i'd have to vote for Starbucks. Never for Halliburton.

It really is astonishing how polarized the United States has become.

I'd always be on the look out for Pockets her imaginary chimpanzee, whether she removed his teeth or not.

I assume government influence is to blame for this travesty."

What about Jeff? And I don't think it's a tragedy but a comedy. Oh sorry, you said travesty. When did you see it?

@dag I don't know what a Grabasaurus looks like, I just know that video belongs in a museum.

...mighty Sheriff Lobo...

My prescription: The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo (1979)

There is a Man, Who Legend Tells. Who Stands for What Is Right. Like Wyatt Earp. He Never Shirks or Cowards from a Fight. He Is Our Sheriff Lobo. Mighty Sheriff Lobo. Heart of Gold Lobo.

Lately guitar-centric music for me is boring more often than not, but this Jack White = the exact opposite of boring.
