Comedian Attacked By Woman
kceaton1It was the dick joke for sure, it hit WAY TOO CLOSE to home. Doesn't everyone agree? Why did I hit the sarcasm button again!?
--------
Now for those that wish to know a bit about that little monument...
I'll assume since he's a comedian he does actually know a bit about the Washington Monument (that is "typically" true for many comedians, they may make fun of something, but they tend to have a fairly in-depth knowledge of just what they ARE making fun of; though not always).
It is, of course, an obelisk. An obelisk was chosen for Washington (probably due to some of his Freemason views, who knows; they may have played a part--a decently big one in my eyes--lots of Washington D.C. is like that) as obelisks are some of the oldest structures in Egyptian culture--for George it was to mean this: "...to evoke the timelessness of ancient civilizations, the Washington Monument embodies the awe, respect, and gratitude the nation felt for its most essential Founding Father..."!
It was fairly hard in "its day" to make and complete; its original design was a HUGE undertaking but was scaled down along the way as resources and support dwindled. It took a very long time to finish and holds a great many distinctions, and most certainly isn't a, "...cement structure." (if you took that literally). It's marble and put together like a puzzle (kind of like brick and mortar, all the way up; a lot of it is marble--two different kinds, Pre-Civil-War, Post-Civil-War). For the time this was an actual engineering feat, from a degree due its height and size (when completed, it was the tallest BUILDING in the entire world--again explaining why it wasn't an "easy" build at all) and from there many of the "goodies" that were included within the project. BUT, the original design that would have made that monument quite different (not so "clean" or "empty") was changed by the final person with the say so, changing MANY details about the whole Monument from its original framework.
Look that up yourself, but one part is the fact that both the ground around it would be FAR different AND the Obelisk would look FAR different as it would be decorated with all the ornamentation, wording, symbolism, etc... From 1848 to 1884; from one idea to a fairly different one; one that was more attention getting and true to the Egyptian building, and their new ideas; to something different; a blank, clean look as it is now.
Mandela Effect | Braces MISSING From Dolly in Moonraker 1979
TheFreakI remember Dolly having braces and not having braces. I remember the Berenstein bears and the Berenstain bears. I remember the FBI agents in E.T. having guns and I remember them holding radios. I remember the sky blazing away and the mountains melting and all life turning to ash as the sun expanded and consumed the earth. I remember the great obelisk in the sky...and not in the sky...as the seas boiled and did not.
I am not pan-dimensional.
I am not omni-universal.
I am not immortal.
I am inevitable.
Or really, really not paying close attention to my surroundings. Whatever.

My Computer is Smarter Than an Atheist
chingalera⛺ not so much a leap...more like a concussive, self-inflicted charge at full speed into the side of a obelisk ☁
Cops Getting Trolled by Remote Helicopter
00Scud00 says...I wonder what the battery life is like? I saw one demonstrated over at the Mall of America that could go for about 15 minuets. On a side note, it sounds like a beehive doing it's rendition of the theme music for the black obelisk in 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Penn & Teller Bullshit - Vatican
radxThe Vatican is actually a really nice place to get thrown out of.
I still have the ticket for the Musei Vaticani, paid 6.20€ apiece for a group ticket on 05/17/01, 10:36am. We first got tossed out of the museum for making fun of some folks, then later escorted off the Piaza San Pietro (?) for falling asleep at the base of the obelisk. Great noodles across the street though.
Batshit Crazy Interpretation of Michael Jackson's 'Beat It'
daviDMCelisIMO, you guys are in serious denial. Instead of resorting to name-calling and belittling, why not make a point by point rebuttal?
Is “beat it” not slang for “masturbate”?
Is Michael Jackson not making a suggestive “jerk off” motion with his hand in several parts of the video?
Regarding the use of the Washington Monument in the video, that monument is an obelisk, which, in the ancient Egyptian religion, represented the phallus of Osiris, or the “lost word”. This ancient religion—which is simply Luciferianism, or the worship of the intellect—is practiced by occultists, such as Freemasons, Rosicrucians, and “Bonesmen”. Do you guys really think that Mike is flashing the horns hand signal for nothing?

Extremely bizzare old video on magnesium fire properties
choggie"The only way to get to the bottom of this, is to set Joan, Dorothy, Betty, AND Mary on fire, parked in front of this tungsten obelisk."
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (best RTS! videos inside)
benjeeYeah: the original 'gameplay' video (above) was a little disappointing due to them changing various units near the end of development (as said in the presentation). I think the story FMV makes up for the slightly bland in-game shots...and the second is much better - but I thought the first is a logical place to start (especially for the story since the orginal). I'll change the link to the Gameplay Trailer #2 (with Kane, also linked above) if Sifters prefer it?
And Supreme Commander looks OK Farhad...but C&C will always be the original, and the best in my opinion (despite the fact Westwood Studios is now under EA!) Plus, as you said: "Oh Tanya, oh NOD obelisk, Oh the memories" - well Kane & his Obelisk of Light are back!
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (best RTS! videos inside)
Farhad2000Terrible. Dismal. Pathetic. No these are not descriptions of Benjee from women around the world. But rather my feelings towards the C&C3 franchise. It looks every bit the rehash C&C Generals was. Everyone knows the next great RTS will be Supreme Commander by Chris Taylor, of the Total Annihilation series.
But I'll upvote for the sheer joy these games used to give me back in the day, the original Command and Conquer and Red Alert 1. Oh Tanya, oh NOD obelisk, Oh the memories.
