Erm, one wanders just how much she would have blitzed the field by if she hadn't fell??

It's great that people still like GTA IV. Still looks amazing. Being drunk is really not fun in that game, though. I mean, when I go out with a girl do I really have to get totally blitz-faced? I mean I do that in real life, can't I just pretend that I don't in real life and have control over my drinking in the game?! It'd definitely make it easier to drive. Or just get to the car.

Here in Portland , years ago, cops started taking the Johns cars in prostitution busts. They would list the cars they grabbed in the local news. It was a big publicity blitz.
Pretty soon, it was known that they didnt take shitty cars, or they wouldnt take a car that still had a lot owed to the banks. So they were doing appraising and credit checks at the crime scenes. It made for bad press and legal questions.
Then they started running into Johns that were city workers, cops, water bureau, etc., in their city owned cars, they didnt confiscate those cars.
They still take cars and property here, they just dont report it the way they used to.

Cops, eventually, will just suck at everything they do.

The appeal of the Wiley Coyote shorts is the desire to actually see him NAIL that smarmy little blue git. If he actually ever accomplished this objective, the appeal would rapidly dissappate. So the whole Wiley/Roadrunner dynamic is one gigantic $%&@tease, essentially. We watch hoping he will succeed, yet knowing that he never will.

This was a short short, but one of the few worthy Loony Toon entries in the last 20+ years. "Space Jam" sucked so hard that it created a singularity. "Back in Action" was only slightly less sucky. It's long overdue for the Toons to get back to their roots, and this nails it.

Note to the WB. Stop trying to make feature-length & 30 minute shows out of characters & concepts that are built for 4-10 minute comedy blitzes. It doesn't work. It never will.

Ah Moon, I love that. That's an example of the joy of keeping something simple and ending up with something far more complex. And marvelous acting of course. Just sticking Sam Rockwell in Inception would have improved it 100 times over.

I'm with you Deano. Total Recall, for all it's sugar-candy pop-coating- was a much more enjoyable SF movie. Dark City or any Alex Proyas movie is also better. The accolades this movie received are undeserved - I wish Moon had gotten a quarter of the hype.
>> ^Deano:
Oh and one more thing while I'm fuming. Several weeks ago as part of the PR blitz for the film, it was suggested that Nolan is a modern Stanley Kubrick.
To which I say - in your dreams Nolan, in your dreams.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

People still legitimately make mistakes in the world. I think the guy just got too blitzed on his birthday, and accidentally left it. Not everything is a conspiracy, even though Hippy would say differently.

With that said, I haven't jumped on the iPhone bandwagon yet, but I most likely will with this next release. I'm getting to old to futz around with hacking phones, etc. anymore.

while i think the execution is lacking, the underlying statement is funny. I worked with a couple of guys that made games in this era and it's true, they were mostly blitzed.

They recently released a music video of "Skeletons" of the same album "It's Blitz" ...

Colin is so gay (NTTAWWI). Reminds me of this old drunken gay guy we used to hang out with in Thailand. Claimed to be 48, looked 58. Claimed to be qualified as lawyer. Looked more like an alchy TESOL teacher. Great fun when he wasn't blitzed though

...While I agree with that in theory, I challenge you to name one scientific institution which makes all its employees e-mails, code and raw data sets public.
The fact of the matter is that we live in an IP crazed world, and universities and research institutions hold on to intellectual property because their presidents/boards of directors/funders require them to.
Every idea is guarded, and yes, this does significant harm to the scientific process, but that has nothing to do with whether or not the CRU is committing scientific fraud.
THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS HERE IS IF CRU IS COMMITTING FRAUD, no amount of ad-hominem will make their findings fraudulent, only pre-existing suppressed scientific evidence can do that.
These folks need to stop their media blitz and go find the data that they are so sure exists, anything else is psudo-scientific nonsense, and is undeserving of attention.


I don't disagree, and I actually think that it is fine for them to keep data, methods, etc. private while they are being studied. But at the point that they want anyone to take action on them, it has to be opened up. I just mean that the burden of proof needs to be on the AGW supporting people, and if they want us to take action to prevent "catastrophic climate change" at some point in the future, they had better be able to show beyond any reasonable doubt that:
A) Our current use of fossil fuels and other energy sources that emit CO2 and other gases contribute to a greenhouse effect AND
B) The effects of CO2 output and any increased greenhouse gases will have serious, major implications in the climate, and those implications are fully understood and provable.

For item B there to be proven, the prediction models have to be complete and reliable. People using Keplerian formulas can tell you where the moon or other satellites will be in the sky 10 days, 1 year, or 100 years from today with almost perfect accuracy. Weathermen are frequently wrong about what the temperature will be tomorrow. I know that isn't a completely fair analogy, but the I think that the Global Warming models need to stand up to this level of scrutiny and a lot more, particularly if they want us to take major actions based on them.

I have a friend in Ohio and this is what I heard about this altercation...the man in the back said everyone attack and it turned into a barroom blitz.

I'm only one man, but now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

I just really don't like chris-chan. It's not something I knew anything about before that was posted, but something I was made aware of and looked up. I'm sorry if you felt like I was going after you, it being your post and all, but it was really at the content.

Just recently, I'd gone and checked out the site and for some reason (possibly being blitzed out of my skill and not able to fully believe it was all real), and almost threw up a few times.

Not only am I amazed at the fact that this widely popular meme/character/person hasn't made it to the sift more often, I thank you for suggesting/drawing on your powers to make that be.

I suggest that we silence it to death.
