Fun to remember the heavy hitters, that won bouts by actually doing large amounts of physical damage instead of just running interference with a wedge design.

...Although Toro's spring-flipping wedge was pretty impressive also.

I miss the show, quite fun while it lasted.

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

I'm a wine drinker, but it's usually out of a foil bag. And mixed with a mineral water, and shot of apple juice, and a wedge of lemon.

It's a manly beverage.

That's the funny thing. We're both looking at the same thing but seeing different things. To me that's much more a wedge shape than a crow's short and straight.

But more importantly, the underside of the tail in a frame or two from an angle isn't as telltale as the up-close-and-personal HD view of the birds beak and head from multiple angles.

There's no question about how "ravenous" they are, and you're still not expressing any thoughts on those features.

You're avoiding all the clear evidence pointing to the obvious, indisputable truth, and hanging on with a death grip to the only slim, inconclusive evidence that you claim supports your unlikely theory. (Are you a 9/11 and moon landing conspiracy theorist?)

In the words of Elsa, let it go... Let it go! Can't hold it back any more. Turn away and slam the door already because here I am in the light of day. And you know what? The cold never bothered me anyway.

Here's a screenshot of his tail when he flies off - http://imgur.com/2lCjdR9

Compared to the two photos on the link above, it's not obviously the nice wedge tail of a raven.

But then, I'm not an expert, and the the ravens around here are different - the Australian Raven has a tail like the American Crow, although he's much bigger.

I see the lion waited for a round of appaws and Kenya believe it - nothing! Seems a little impolite to deny him; what are these people? Animals? I Savannah slap them for their silence its untrue. Well, the mane thing is the message was given, but that bastard is always lion so I don't feline trusting him to be honest. I'm not going to panther speech even if it was about gun ownership - except that boring predatory claws digression - it was full of pathos, and I think I saw a bit of Aramis wedged in his teeth too.

And no complaining this time! Cub be worse.

I saw this sort of thing happen in big college parking lot once. There was freezing rain the night before, nobody salted, and there was a quarter inch of ice covering the entire surface. Then, at about 10 in the morning after 100 or so cars had arrived, it got REAL windy.

By the time I left at noon, cars were all over the place. Crashed into each other (doing serious damage), wedged together in improbable groupings. A few had even gone over the hill leading up to the lot.

Miraculously, my car was untouched and exactly where I left it. I believe this was because it was by far the crappiest car in the lot and generates a natural repellent force. Could have been all the rusted out holes in the bodywork too.

I can only judge the police on a person by person basis when they act independently.

Myself, I respect the police, and I obey and cooperate with them as required.
I've never done anything to necessitate any negative behaviour from them, so from experience, I have only good things to say about them. Though, I must admit, I've encountered some that were amazingly nice, and also some that were absolutely on a power trip.

BUT I know of three scenarios which Make them less than desirable.

1). The term Police should be synonymous with Peace (Peace officer). They are a team created to keep people safe. They uphold laws. Laws are meant to keep people safe.
But when they are used for other things, like aggressively engaging groups of protestors, they often behave against the people they have sworn to protect in insite more violent behaviours just so they can create arrests.

2). Police are given quotas. This is inherently corrupt. It's only purpose is to extort monies from the public and creates tensions between them and the people they are supposed to be helping.
It serves no purpose and forces even the good police to commit crimes against the people just so they can keep their jobs. These quotas are often passed down from ranking officers or higher up in the system.
This includes everything from Stop-and-frisk policies, to Speeding-infractions, to Roadside-vehicle-searches. It gives police a legal excuse to badger, bully, extort and abuse the people.

3). There are police not cut out for the job, and we've seen this in video time and again. The officer labelled as the "Hot Head". They over react, insight conflict, and use their position to create problems where none exist.
I can only attest to this example from what I see in the news. Being from Canada, we have different laws than the US, and I see this abuse most often in news from the US.
This type of officer either joined the system so they could be above the law, or has been tarnished and gone bitter along the way. They need to be weeded out and removed from duty.

All this being siad, the Police is an exclusive club. They are a close knit group of members which stand up and support each other. This could be a good thing. they need to rely on each other, especially in times of life or death.
Unfortunately, they also stand up for each other in times where they shouldn't. They protect the wrong doers in the system, cover up irregularities and just basically lie to cover up those officers breaking the law.
It's a system of "not covering up, means you can't trust others to come to your aid."

So, yes, we need the police. We like the police.
But if they don't rethink the way they operate, they only increase the gap between helping ind hindering the people. On the current course, they are forcing a large wedge between themselves and the people that are paying their pay check to keep them safe.
If you can't trust the police, they are no longer the police -- just thugs.

The good police need to stand up against the police that are abusing the system and making their job harder on a daily basis. Fix the system, fix the interaction, and then it will fix the work environment police work in.

I named a cat after this side kick, and I will always name one of my pilots in games after Wedge Antilles. Hell yeah, drunken nerd!

Plot summary of Wedge Antilles, told in a point that leaves you thinking "get to the point"

Your video, Star Wars: Wedge Antilles, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

It's kind of cool how Wedge turned from a bit player to a central character of the extended universe novels.

Wedge Antilles gets no respect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hlOapTW6t4
Thought you might enjoy

from the side profile, looks like the holes were pre-drilled all the way down.

Some historians believe pyramids' stones were cut similarly.
If you are in a climate that is below freezing (even if overnight), you could fill the holes with water then those water-columns would act as a wedge when it turns to ice and expands.

Kinda looks like a big wedge cutting trough fudge
