Wow- that's such a brilliant viral idea - I'm blown away. Amazing the details- like actually speaking the name of the person right at the beginning. I guess they must have recorded the top 5,000 names or so. It makes me want to create something like this.

No. It's your name. This is a very clever viral marketing ploy for the AMC series "Breaking Bad". One is able to create a custom video for anyone- you just input their name and a few tidbits of personal information, such as age, hobbies and place of residence- hence the reference to Australia and Youtube. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the embed codes from the site are accepted here at the sift!

This is an amazingly good new drama series featuring Bryan Cranston- late of "Malcolm in the Middle".The show has aired 6 episodes- episode 7 will air next week and is the final one of the first season. I'm amazed at the quality of the writing and performances of this new series. You can watch full episodes online at http://www.amctv.com/originals/breakingbad/ and can make your own little video to send to friends at http://www.waltswisdom.com/.

Cheers!

Wow - that was a bit of a surreal moment. So is Brian Houston one of the character names?

Would you like be making fuck... BERZERKER!!

Watching this movie for the first time was a life changing moment. Long live the Gen X grunge slacker. Ah, better times...

>> ^xxovercastxx:
My uncle was a driver... M60, I believe. He was stationed in Europe and I do remember him stating that the tanks would mangle the old cobblestone roads a bit.
arsenault, I thought the BFV was a hybrid of sorts. It carries a small group of infantry, doesn't it? But still provides a bit more firepower than the average APC?

Well the M60 is no longer in use by the active military. I believe, however, that a small amount of Reserve or Guard Armor units may still be using them, though i doubt it. Anyways, The M60 was BEAST. It is one of the few, if not the only MBT (main battle tank - hey MGR most civvies don't know these acronyms) that had a secondary INDEPENDENT turret on it. The top of the tracks on that sucker were about 5 or 6 feet. I still don't think its any bigger than the M88 though.

Anyways, cobblestone roads are nothing more than bricks in the dirt, and are usually very old, and were not built to withstand heavy traffic loads.

As far as the BFV begin a hybrid.. well your right and wrong. The BFV as itself could carry troops in the back, but was also capable of independently fighting. MOST are outfitted with a 7.62 coaxial machine gun, capable of 900 rounds a minute, and as a primary weapon, the 25MM (MM = millimeter) Bushmaster. AHhhhhhh what a beautiful thing that was... Oh, whats that? You want pictures? No problem. On the left is the 7.62 and on the right, the 25MM on the left. These are training rounds, as there are many different types of ammo, all far to expensive to train with.

Anywho, the version I was on was a BSFV (Bradley Stinger Fighting Vehicle) We had room in back for 2 soldiers (the reload / Stinger Missile team) the driver, Track Commander, and the Gunner. The infantry version carries the basic operation crew of three (driver TC and gunner) plus 6 troops in back. (that one is of My Bradley - you'll notice the other seat behind this slacker. Thats he only other seat back there. The other side is occupied by a Stinger missile rack.)

There is also what we call a fister. Don't ask me what the real acronym is, i couldn't tell you. It was a BFV outfitted with a slew of gadgetry for use by forward observers for people like my brother here^, (what we affectionately call cannon-cockers) the artillery.


Ok heres the M88 Lifting my Bradley as promised.

Darwin misses his chance once again..slacker.

It's by Richard Linklater, who also directed Slacker, Dazed and Confused, The Newton Boys, and A Scanner Darkly (also rotoscoped), among others.

Here's the chords and lyrics for you prospecting musicians
A PIRATE I WAS MEANT TO BE
Capo II

[Am]
We're a band of vicious pirates!
A sailin´ out to sea.
When you hear our gentle singing...
You'll be sure to turn and flee!
[F] [E]
Oh, this is just ridiculous.

Bridge: [F] [C] [E] ×3

[Am]
Come on, men! We've got to recover that map!
[F] [E] [Am] [A7]
That pirate will be done for, when he falls into our trap!
[Dm]
We're a club of tuneful rovers!

We can sing in every clef!
[Am]
We can even hit the high notes!

It's just too bad we're tone deaf!
[E] [F]
A pirate I was meant to be!
[C] [E]
Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Bridge: [F] [C] [E] ×3

[Am]
Let's go defeat that evil pirate!
[F] [E] [Am] [A7]
We know he's sure to lose, ´cause we know just where to fire at!

[Dm]
We're thieving balladeers.

A gang of cutthroat mugs.
[Am]
To fight us off ye don't need guns!

Just jolly good ear plugs!

[E] [F]
A pirate I was meant to be!
[C] [E]
Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Bridge: [F] [C] [E] ×3

All right, crew, let's get to work!
Our vocation's a thing we love
A thing we'd never shirk!
We'll fight you in the harbor.
We'll battle you on land.
But when you meet singing pirates...
They'll be more than you can stand.
Oh! That was a good one!
No, it wasn't.

No time for song! We've got to move!
The battle will be long,
But our courage we will prove!
We're a pack of scurvy seadogs
Have we pity? Not a dram
We all eat roasted garlic
Then sing from the diaphragm.

A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Less singing, more sailing.
When we defeat our wicked foe,
His ship he will be bailing!
If ye try ta fight us
You will get a nasty whackin'!
If ya disrespect our singin'
We will feed ya to a kraken!

A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!

I'm getting so sick of you guys and your rhyming.
We're ready to set sail,
though the cannons need a-priming.
We're troublesome corsairs!
And we've come to steal your treasures!
We would shoot you on the downbeat
But we have to rest five measures.

A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Stop! Stop! Stop!
The brass is what we'll polish
And the deck is what we'll mop.

You say you're nasty pirates...
Scheming, thieving, bad bushwhackers?
From what I've seen I tell you
You're not pirates! You're just slackers!

A pirate I was meant to be!
Trim the sails and roam the sea!

We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange.
And...!
...um...
Well...
...err...
Door hinge?
No, no...
Guess the song's over, then.
Guess so.
Hokay, back to work.
Well gee.
I feel a little guilty, now...

it SUCKS as it is done in Slackers.

Unfortunately the recent speed-up has more to do with coming out of peak time, than anything we've fixed.

Tomorrow is going to be a bit rough I'm afraid- because US Mondays are usually very high (slackers!)

It was done better in "Slackers"

Aw shucks Choogie, Your such a pal. Ok I've been thinking about this a lot. And by that I mean for a couple seconds now. Demoting is probably for the best. Course I was in the middle of India and only checked my e-mail every two weeks but for slackers who up a take off. It's probably the best way for keeping the sift clean and current.

How about a picture of Bob Dobbs with his pipe.....that is the ultimate symbol of slack, and if anyone gets 500 viddies published, that amounts to some serious slacker hours clocked.....I already got my pre-determined number assigned as my goal, once reached, only then will I be given my next asssignment.......work is hell.......
