I've been there....more times than I know. Eventually I learned to use leather shoe laces.
In welding class, a friend dropped a huge ball of red hot slag into his doc Martin's. His only option was to run to the urinal and start flushing wildly. He stopped wearing them to class after that.

CAN you build an atomic bomb out of slag iron and mud?

Even if they screwed up the process, the process is what I love to see. I'm a fan of their art in general but I will eat up anything that shows me how to take raw materials of the earth and transform them into tools, process, and end-result. Very cool to see the slag and ore handling, and know how they constructed everything from scratch.

That is going to be a cultural slag heap of a film

"Slag Heap,
1. A man-made mound or heap formed with waste material."

There are too many good ones. This is one of my favorites, but generally I tend to gravitate toward ones where Stewart Copeland gets to show off. Any other drummer and The Police would have been a very different band.

Though they got slagged by some for being too mainstream/popular, I'd easily take them over what fills that role nowadays.

fat slag

Oh, you're right. No need for me to worry about the GLASSES anyway...
LOL
Watch the other guy bang the red hot slag off the rail with the sledge. No glasses on that I can see. Red hot burning metal in your eye.
Plan...

Apparently this is the video that brings all the slag of the internet to videosift. Something about the most searched video or link to the videosift

no no, start it kinna like this and take it from there:
"So a couple of average L.A. slags are about to get into a cab...."

Well, at first Matt sounded like a bit of a nerd, not the kind of guy I'd want to vote for. I mean, who needs all that book learnin' when you've been out on a farm, am I right?

But... sounds like the guy knows how to throw a party. So maybe he's not such a nerd.

Matt, you have my vote. Or you would, if I lived there. Hope you win buddy, anyone slagging you simply because you're educated has to be a grade A moron.

Great show, miss Frankie, BBC are a bunch of cunts that don't understand comedy.

BBC understand comedy, let's see there's Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, to name just several classic comedy shows known and admired around the world. Blackadder, Porridge, Absolutely Fabulous, Only Fools and Horses, Morecambe and Wise, One Foot in the Grave, The Two Ronnies, The Young Ones, Fry and Laurie, My Family, 'Allo 'Allo, Yes Minister, The Vicar of Dibley, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, I could go on and on and on but I think I've established the trend... The BBC also spends a lot of money promoting new and established comedians performing at large venues like the Apollo, and also runs the BBC New Comedy Awards annual ceremony which is considered one of the highlights of the comedy calendar. Frankie is a gem and a fellow Scot so I'm biased in favour of him but let's not forget he left comedy behind of his own accord. Can't blame the BBC for that.
In fact if you're going to slag off the BBC the least you can do is come live over here for a year and pay your TV licence fee so a) you're contributing, and b) you actually have a leg to stand on if you're going to make ludicrous and offensive claims.


You're naming classic comedies that shaped the world...and do not apply in this discussion (The good ones, not the shit you listed). Just don't even bother making an argument next time if you're going to produce strawmen like this. Monty Python and Fawlty Towers are amazing...AND OLD! Really fucking old and were made at a time where the BBC wasn't run the way it's run now.

Frankie was constantly harassed and treated like shit on Mock the Week by it's Producers because they kept getting complaints from stupid people who think their opinion matters. Frankie was the funniest part of that fucking show, the BBC took him away, so YES they don't understand that saying offensive things is a comedians job. You don't have the right to not be offended.

I'm glad you're offended because you're fucking wrong. The BBC used to produce seriously funny shit...some of the most cherished shows ever. Now they produce crap, because it's an upside down pyramid of executives noting shows to death and killing the funny parts of others because some mother called in to complain.

You are whats wrong with humanity. You're a lowly wretch who defends morons who ruin things for the rest of us. Why don't you go work for NBC you evil monster.

@Hive13 I'm kind of hoping that you're joking, because seriously, her drinking is not at issue here, the assault isn't even really at issue here, at issue here was someone (the defense lawyers, and the wording of the ruling out of the Jefferson District Court) of trying to tell the victim of sexual assault that she shouldn't talk about it. There's enough silencing happening around the issue of sexual assault without giving it the sanction of law.

If you want to talk about the assault, I think it should be fairly obvious that you can't give consent while unconscious (the sources I've read say that the assault happened after she passed out). If someone is too wasted to know what's up, then consent cannot be given, and the other partner would have to be really messed up to think that sort of behavior was OK. She didn't place the boys in that position, the boys did that to themselves - by assaulting her and taking pictures.

Slagging on this particular teen for doing something that is extremely common looks like an attempt to shame the victim. If you want to go moan about drinking at parties, find a different conversation -- here's one
http://videosift.com/video/Drinking-Culture-David-Mitchell-s-Soapbox

It's these sort of attacks on character that help a tiny number of men get away with a large number of sexual assaults, because their victims don't come forward (because of fear of being ostracized), aren't believed (you were drunk), or aren't prosecuted (it's just boys being assholes).

@mas8705 -- there may be slag, but the residue is PURE SILVER. Congrats!

> black impurities

Slag... flux.... lead... there are many secondary materials used when smelting precious metals. Lead is used to scavenge the precious metal from ore. Flour can be used as a source of carbon to assist in fusion of the metal. The black impurities are... not silver.

This goes into exhaustive detail including the choice of boneash for a cup:
